This isn't the first time for "sudden obsolescence" with Quicken - but upgrading the software this time requires a new computer. I'm getting too old for this. Quicken could fix this issue in a heartbeat. I wish they would.
Background info that another user (macuser_22) supplied: "It is probably due to the POODLE vulnerability that was discovered and published 5 days ago by Google (https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA14-290A)
US-CERT (Department of Homeland Security) says: "There is currently no fix for the vulnerability SSL 3.0 itself, as the issue is fundamental to the protocol; however, disabling SSL 3.0 support in system/application configurations is the most viable solution currently available."
Thus the recommendation is to turn SSL 3.0 off in servers, which is what banks (and apparently Intuit) have done.
Since QM2007 can only use SSL 3.0 (the code was written before TSL existed), QM2007 cannot connect to any server that has SSL 3.0 disabled."
My Chase Bank connection was resolved this morning. However, Fidelity Brokerage is still a problem. Looks like Quicken is making progress. Keep our fingers crossed. Quicken is not the best at customer support. Tried to use Moneydance yesterday, but had a lot of problems with downloading brokerage accounts with option symbols.
OMG! Just when I was about to give up, notification of your email arrived. I tried downloading Amex after I read your reply and IT WORKED!!!!. It's a miracle. I tried reading that US-CERT (Department of Homeland Security) and discovered (once again) I am too old and evidently too stupid to understand it. If somebody wants to download my credit card charges - maybe it's with a view to pay them? Who do we thank for this sudden turn of events since everybody denies responsibility for it?
