I’m happy to report that the migration to the new portfolio system is complete.This new system applies to Quicken Windows 2006, 2007 and 2008.
If you want more information about this transition, or if you are experiencing any issues with the new portfolio, please post them in the thread here. This will keep all of the issues in one place, which means we can gather and fix them a lot sooner--
Thanks--
Quicken Kathryn

Mary: I noticed that lack of volume import issue also - with QW2009. Is that what you were running? I know your prior description (the link) worked fully in QW2007.
Hi q.lurker,
Humm, interesting. I am running Q2008 Premier, but the price history file is from Q2009. When I rolled back from Q2009 to Q2008, I thought the easiest way to fill in the blanks in the price data was to rename the Q2009 .qph file to the Q2008 fileset name.
I will have to try swapping out the .qph file to the Q2008 version and see if that makes a difference in the import of the volume data.
Thanks. Didn't realize this was possible because I had my bonds correctly identified as such and when security is identified as a bond, the symbol field is grayed-out. However, when I changed security type to "other", I was able to enter a "ticker" for each bond.
Perhaps you realize this and didn't include it. I believe after you have changed the Sec-type to Other and entered a ticker (symbol), you can change the type back to Bond, and the ticker will stay.

This new improved platform has demonstrated in spades this week that it is totally unreliable. The current and historical quotes are still screwed up and now I am showing a one day slip in the quotes. For example Ariel Fund (ARGFX) shows $39.27 for Friday August 29th and $39.11 for Saturday August 30th. This should show $39.27 for Thursday August 29th and $39.11 for Friday August 30th.
Apple shows the same problem. AAPL shows $173.74 for Friday August 29th and $169.53 for Saturday August 30th. This should show $173.74 for Thursday August 29th and $169.53 for Friday August 30th.
I don't think the stock market is open on Saturdays!
This one day slip is true for all 25 of my Mutual Funds and/or stocks.
This Quote problem has got to be fixed or we all will abandon Quicken. I have been a user of Quicken since 1984 and I have never experienced anything like this.

All I get when I try to update my info to quicken.com is "server not available .. try again later". So I have not been able to update my information at all on quicken.com. I tried to change to a new quicken.com userid and that still gives me the same warning. Unfortunately I am finding Quicken upgrades last two years to be very poor and I have used Quicken for many many years.

I am now getting an error from OneStep Update just trying to download quotes & historical prices:
The server is not responding properly. Please try again later.
For historical prices it is saying "the securities are not recognized."

I assume from the comments in this thread that everyone is having the same problem. I will not update any stock data on the Quicken website because of all the corrupted data. Will someone start a new thread with suggestions of how to move from Quicken to better alternatives?

As I mentioned before on this thread, there is no need to move to another product unless you are so fed up you feel like you must.
Download the freeware software NetStock.
Set up NetStock once by adding in your stock and mutual fund symbols.
In NetStock, after it automtically updates prices, FILE > Quicken Export.
This will create a file named prices.csv. Save this file to your C: hard drive.
In Quicken, go to Portfolio view. Then FILE > IMPORT > Import prices. You can only do this from the Portfolio view.
When prompted, enter C:prices.txt and Quicken will enter current day ACCURATE prices into Quicken.
The initial setup takes just a bit of time...after that I can do this in less than a minute!
When doing a One Step Update, uncheck "Download quotes, asset classes, headlines and alerts". Continue leaving this unchecked until Quicken finds a way to download quotes that actually works.

What is Quicken 6? An old DOS version of Quicken?
If you are referring to Quicken 2006, it will work in that version.
What is really interesting is that this also works for "retired" versions Quicken 2005 and earlier.
Quicken disabled download capabilities for those versions, but NetStock will work where Quicken has an "Import prices" feature. That just leaves transaction downloading as the only main feature that has been disabled.
Completing your user profile to include the Quicken version/year and Windows operating system helps others troubleshoot your problem.
You should only floss the teeth you want to keep!
Currently using Quicken 2009 Rental Property Manager R5.

I like Yahoo as well, especially the plotting features. However, you have to load everything manually. Morningstar is a good choice and you can upload info from Quicken on PC, although cumbersome for those of us who use PC versions for automatic update feature from institutions.
Biggest plus to me for Quicken.com was automatic update from Quicken on desktop AND its portfolio view, all on one page! Of course, that has all changed now. The new Quicken.com does seem to have features that will be benefitial once they get them working, like memorizing custom views, incremental updates, correct portfolio value graphs, sort holdings by name option (symbols suck), just to name a few.
My gut tells me though that the new will not be as powerfull as the old and that Intuit Management does not care.
I too am now using broker sites for daily tracking until Quicken.com shapes up or I decide on another method.

Once again Quicken quotes updating does not work, and I need it daily. Please tell me if this issue is being addressed, and when we may expect the system to be fixed.

Just to be clear: NO quotes are updating. Not mutural funds, or stocks of ANY description.
--------------------------------------
The Quicken Help page says:
"We are in the process of completing the upgrade to the new Quicken.com Investing Center. These current issues are being researched by our Development Team, and a resolution will be provided soon.
Performance data is not downloading for little traded securities such as OTC stocks...."
------------------------------------------
This is NOT correct. NOTHING is updating from the "UPDATE QUOTES" link.Last time this happened, it took a LOT of threats of leaving Quicken an(and many actually doing so) before adequate resources from Quicken were applied to the task.

Thank you for your help. I assume in order to maintain historical prices, you do this daily. What do you do if you happen to be out of town and miss a few days? Is there any way get old quotes?

Does anybody know the anticipated date of resolution. I have opted not to update my prices until it is resolved... I don't have time to download other programs, patch, etc/ I have used Quicken products since 1994.... dont want to leave, but this is the pits
Thank you for your help. I assume in order to maintain historical prices, you do this daily. What do you do if you happen to be out of town and miss a few days? Is there any way get old quotes?
I do this daily.
I don't travel much besides the occasional vacation...so I haven't run into that problem yet.
I'm not sure how you would get old quotes using NetStock.

Don't even get me started. It happened to my on-screen cable guide last month and I've been just as irritated with them. At least Quicken is responding. Not so with the cable company.
To everyone out there - Please, no more new and improved!
