Computer hard drive crashed - download from web/mobile version?

KierstenR

My question is a little confusing but hopefully someone can help me. I've used Quicken for years on my Mac laptop. Four months ago, I got notice that my computer is too outdated to support the program. So I purchased a new Microsoft Surface Pro (big mistake), downloaded Quicken for Windows and did all the work to get my files transferred and set up. That worked for a couple of months until the Surface Pro crashed. I sent it back to Microsoft and never got it back. I was never able to get a backup transferred before it crashed.

I now am using Quicken on a new Macbook. I can see all current information on the web/mobile app, but don't know how to upload the file to my Mac. Can someone lead me through this?

Your question is quite common.

Sadly, the answer is that you cannot restore the Mobile/Web data to the desktop version of either Quicken for Windows or Mac. Mobile is only a small subset of data and not an online backup. 

So, the unfortunate answer is that you will have to start from scratch (or find a backup of an older data file from either machine to recover from. This sounds unlikely and probably not feasible.)
