    On 2/10 I had to reset my connection with Fidelity for my IRA, Trust, and Brokerage accounts. At that time the data downloaded.

    Now on 2/14 when I try to update, no information is downloaded even though there were transactions at Fidelity on the 12th and 13th. One step update states updating/supposedly updates and says processing data but no information is downloaded.

    Hello @rayseidlinger,

    Thank you for sharing your experience.

    I know you mentioned having recently reset the accounts; however, that is the first step I would try to resolve this. Here are the steps:

    1. Create a backup of your Quicken file first.
    2. Deactivate all Fidelity accounts in Quicken.
      1. Select the Tools menu and select Account List....
      2. In the Account List, select the account you want to deactivate, and then click Edit.
      3. In the Account Details window, click the Online Services tab.
      4. Click Deactivate next to the service you want to disable. image.png
      5. Click Yes to the message confirming if you want to disable this service. Note: If you do not receive this message, additional information is available below.
      6. Click OK to the confirmation message.
      7. If you have an investment account that is linked to a cash account, you need to deactivate the online services from the investment account, which will automatically deactivate the linked cash account.
      8. Important: If you are deactivating/reactivating an account to fix an issue, you'll need to deactivate all the accounts with the affected financial institution that you have activated in Quicken (including hidden ones). Once they're all deactivated, then you can follow the steps to reactivate.
    3. Revoke Quicken’s third-party access from the Fidelity website.
    4. Reactivate the accounts in Quicken.
      1. Go to Tools > Add Account. image.png
      2. Select the bank for the deactivated account(s). If prompted, select the connection method.
      3. Enter your credentials and click Connect.
      4. When the list of located accounts appears, choose LINK next to each account you want to reactivate.
      5. Click Next, then Done on the last prompt.

    If the transactions still don't download after resetting, this would be considered a Missing Transactions issue. Here are the first few steps to check for that.

    1. Has the sort order been changed in the register? Confirm that the Sort Order in your account register is by Date; just click the top of the Date column in your account register. It's likely the transactions are in your register, just not where you thought they'd be.

    2. Click the Reset button at the top of the register. This will confirm that there's no filtering in your account register.

    3. Try refreshing your login session: To do this, go to Help > Refresh Sign in. After completing the log-in process, try running a One Step Update again.

    4. Are these missing transactions over 90 days old? Transaction download is typically limited to the last 90 to 200 days, depending on the financial institution. If you need transaction history older than what the download contains, many banks will make this available on their website via Web Connect. To use Web Connect, you can find information here, or contact your bank.

    5. Are these transactions still marked as "pending" on your bank's website? Pending transactions have been authorized by your bank but not cleared and paid from your account yet. Most banks don't allow transactions to download until the transaction clears the bank.

    6. Are you using Web Connect (logging in to your bank's website to manually download transactions in Quicken)? Some banks only allow downloads to Quicken after the statement closing date, meaning that you won't see new transactions in Quicken until the statement closes. If you can't select a date range when you try to download from your bank, it means that you're only able to download new transactions after the statement closing date.

    For the remaining steps, please check out the linked article.

    Let us know how it goes!

    I'm just getting started with Quicken Classic after a 30-year hiatus. Everything has been going great with making connections to my financial institutions until I started trying to connect my HSA account with Fidelity. The connection gets established, but there are no error messages, no transactions, and no balances. I have deactivated the connection, reactivated it, deleted it, and imported it as an IRA, but still no results. Any ideas here?
