RESOLVED 2/3/25 Unable to Open Data File after updating to QMac 7.10.0 / 7.10.1

UniqueHorizon

I just saw that ticket #11371778 (https://community.quicken.com/discussion/comment/20474755#Comment_20474755) was marked as "Resolved." I'm curious what that is supposed to mean. The issue was that a Quicken update caused Quicken not to be able to open the data file. It has been since November that Quicken has been working to address this. When working with Quicken tech support, the short-term solution was that I reinstalled an older version of Quicken and have been continuing to use that. To me, Quicken posting that the issue is Resolved isn't true - it certainly isn't resolved on my computer. And, no additional information was provided on the above discussion thread about how the issue was resolved (or what users should do at this point). My guess (hope) is that the problem was identified and that the update has been patched so that if I proceed to do the most recent update now, I won't encounter the same issue. But, I shouldn't have to do that experiment and hope it works. Quicken: will you please provide more details when an issue is "Resolved"? Add another post to the discussion thread that explains what users should do to address the issue, please!

The other potential cause of this issue is if you use Google Cloud Backup. If you use that service, please turn it off or pause it when upgrading your Quicken program.
