This started about 8 AM CST. I opened up my quicken, and all of my bank and credit card accounts are marked "deleted" and I need to add them back. When I attempted this, I'm getting I can't connect to the quicken servers.
Please clarify what you mean by "…all of my bank and credit card accounts are marked 'deleted'…" There is nothing in Quicken that will mark accounts deleted. If the accounts are truly deleted in Quicken, they will simply no longer be present nor visible in Quicken at all.
Was this from an error message received when you tried to run OSU (One Step Update)? If so, was there an error code provided?
This message sometimes comes up when there is an issue connecting Quicken to the Quicken servers and/or the financial institutions. Since it cannot complete the connection successfully it cannot find the accounts in the Financial Institution data so Quicken wrongly "thinks" that the accounts have been deleted. This is usually a temporary issue that can sometimes be corrected by running Update Now for each account.
If there is a server issue, then the issue will go away once the server issue is resolved. Generally, if Update Now does not resolve the issue, then waiting a little while and trying to run OSU again later in the day or by the next morning will resolve the issue.
It is not advised to Deactivate the accounts. It is also not advised to try Resetting each account. Doing so when the server connection is not working will often result in the accounts actually being disconnected and then they will need to be set up again later after the server issue is resolved. It's usually best to just wait a while and then try running OSU, again, later.
If the issue is still occurring tomorrow (1/28) come back here and update this thread. I or someone else will hopefully be able to help you troubleshoot the issue.
BTW, this morning when I first ran OSU (about 7:30am CTS) OSU would not complete properly. I tried running OSU, again later this morning and OSU properly completed for all accounts. So, there does appear to have been a server issue earlier today.
I'm getting a
error from all of my banking and credit cards. and when I attempt to add the account back in I've been receiving server errors.
Thanks for the additional information. Knowing the error code is important.
If you are still getting this CC-800 error code now, try doing OSU, again in the morning.
If you still get this error code then, you might want to try doing the following:
You do not need to do Steps 1-10 for all of your accounts with this CC-800 issue if the first couple of accounts do not get fixed by it. If the first couple of accounts are not fixed with these steps, then having this error code for all the accounts indicates you might have a runtime.dat file corruption issue.
Perhaps the easiest way to fix a runtime.dat file issue is to do the following: Go to File > Create Copy or Backup file > Create a copy or template > Next > you may keep the default file name (the same name as your data file but with Cpy added to the end of it) or you may give it a unique name of your choosing > Save Copy.
Please post back here what your status is and if any of this has helped you resolve your connections issue.
@betweenthelines there were a number of CC-800 error posts yesterday:
