Wow! Did I speak too quickly. Now it crashes consistently every 30 seconds. What a piece of garbage. Exactly like the reviews on Amazon. How can Intuit still be selling this software?
Back to 2012...
On the Mac, I gave up on Quicken, and moved to iBank. I was able to export some 14 years of records and import them into iBank. Some fiddling about was needed to get brokerage records right (change 'Sell' to 'Sell to close', for example, so the silly thing wouldn't think I was going short against the box.) It took maybe two hours, and has pretty much 'just worked' since then. I did have to learn a new set of quirks, retraining some Quicken keystroke shortcuts to the iBank behaviors. That took a couple of weeks.

It's usually a good idea never to purchase any software (Quicken especially) when they first come out with a new release. Let others work the bugs out.
Apparently, Intuit just released a new version of Quicken 2014 that is supposed to solve the crashing issue.
Quicken 2014 Crashes - Quicken Support
Hmmm...I reinstalled Quicken 2014 today in my test environment figuring I would be able to reproduce the constant crashing, and then call it in to Intuit. However, it hasn't been crashing all morning. Now I'm wondering, was R4 just loaded this morning?
We have addressed the crash issues in Quicken 2014 with the latest Release (R4) as of 12/4/2013.
