Transferring accounts from TD to Schwab

Question

I am planning to transfer 5 accounts (trust and IRAs) from TD to Schwab. I remember the chaos during the Scottrade to TD transfer and I want to avoid that this time. Can you please provide instructions on shutting down TD accounts and setting up the Schwab accounts... and downloading too?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by "interface" ?Our Schwab is working fine.... they went thru a major Quicken protocol migration a little while ago, which removed the "Direct Connect" protocol, and replaced it with EWC+.... along with a required one time visit to the Schwab online website to "authorize" Quicken for access and downloading

I just re-started Quicken after a several year absence.  Schwab/Quicken automatically downloaded 90 days of transactions - but now, according to what I'm finding and just posted about - their interface is gone.  They both have millions of customers and have allowed interfaces for decades.  I am at a loss for words - other than I hope I am entirely wrong.  I have contacted both Schwab and Quicken several times, and all I'm getting is that I have to manually enter transactions.  I hope someone can set me straight!
