    I also have the same error immediately after updating to Quicken Classic Deluxe 8.4.2 for MacOS.

    Upgraded to 8.4.2 just now, no trouble syncing afterwards.

    I have three data sets. Two synch normally. One does not.

    I was able to solve my problem. I first disconnected all my accounts but that did not correct the error. I then reloaded a data set backup from before I upgraded to 8.4.2. That eliminated the error. I was able to reconnect to all accounts and the error did not recur.

    I have been receiving the exact same Sync Error message since updating to version 8.4.2 of Quicken Classic Deluxe using Mac OS 15.7.3 several hours ago.

    I have been receiving the exact same Sync Error message since updating to version 8.4.2 of Quicken Classic Deluxe on MacBook Pro macOS Tahoe 26.4

    I had the same error after the same update. I don't use mobile or the web so never had sync turned on. Called Quicken Support. They had me turn sync on and then off again. Error went away. Don't Worry, Be Happy!

    I'm also getting the Sync error after updating on Mac OS.

    I just tried this. For me, it got rid of the Sync error, but totally screwed up the balances on my credit card accounts. I had to delete/re-add the credit card accounts in order to see the correct balances.

    Sorry to hear that. Didn't cause any problem for me.

    I did a restore from yesterday's latest backup file. Then did the download. No errors occurred.

    I never got this error message before the last update. I do not have Sync turned on because I want as little of my financial information on the cloud as possible. The only solution you're website offers doesn't apply because my Sync is turned off, always has been. Quicken still connects to my various accounts and downloads transactions, but then this error message pops up all the time now. How can I stop this message? Thanks

    Thank you, Quicken Kristina. That resolved the matter in my case.

    Thank you @Allen101 , this solved my problem as well. Fortunately, I have it set to do an automatic backup every time I save. I was able to restore from one that was only a couple of hours old and so I lost no data.

    ** I have tried most of the trouble shooting steps suggested by Quicken, but I am still getting this error. I do not want to mess up my accounts, and the detailed transaction notes tied to them. Has anyone figured this out?

    After the latest Quicken update I have been getting Sync errors.

    Has anyone else? This appears to be a Quicken communication caused problem and I have not seen yet how this affects my quicken balance accuracy but know it can't be good.

    I've attached a screen shot of the error.

    I just updated to 8.4.2 for Quicken Classic for Mac. The message said "accounts upload: requests (11) don't match responses (10). What is up?

    Yes I had this error. I had to re-logon to my accounts for correct downloads. This fixed the error.

    @Quicken Kristina I am in the same situation as @miletown. Your troubleshooting steps do not work for me because I do not have Sync turned on, so there is no list of accounts in Settings > Mobile, Web & Alerts. I am using Quicken Classic Deluxe for Mac, version 8.4.2 (Build 804.59835.100) on MacOS 26.2 and also started experiencing this issue after updating to the latest version.

    I was in the same situation having never turned Sync on. Quicken Support had me turn it on and then off again. That solved the problem for me.

    Yeah…. same issue here. They should roll back the recent update.

    I just tried to roll back to the last version of Quicken.app/Content/ from my Time Machine (saved on Jan 10) and the recovery worked, but when I tried to run it, it told me that my data file was incompatible with the version I was using and prompted me to update, so I did, and the same issue arose.

    Someone has some SPLAININ to do.
