Hello All,


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

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."

GREAT job on the upgrade, Quicken IT team!!

Quoted from: Quicken Kathryn (Aug 21, 2008 2:10 pm)
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. Any one else having this problem?
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.

    This post is about: Quicken Online
    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.

    The Netstock -->Quicken works fine but I think only imports the closing price - correct?

    Which is better than inaccurate Quicken download I guess :)

    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.

    Please wake up, Quicken nd Intuit Management!

    Gmalis:

    I have been experimenting a little with NetStock. Seems like a RELIABLE application. I did notice one difference in your instructions and my results:

    File>Quicken Export - It creates a prices.txt text file instead of a file with the extension .cvs. Am I doing something incorrectly?

    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    No, Netstock Export to Quicken produces the file prices.txt

    You can then import this into Quicken from the Portfolio view.

    If I said in a previous post that the file created was prices.csv, then thanks for the correction.

    It is most definitely prices.txt.

    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.

    Intuit seems to have gone radio silent. I would have thought that they would have worked all weekend on this and given us an update.

    I am now very afraid of using this program and possibly screwing up about 20 years of data input.

    silent - yup, they laid off 7% of their workforce...
    and when I mailed letters last summer to complain about the Alerts & News going away from the Quicken program for months at a time -

    their response - handed down to "tech support" for followup
