Quicken 2007 Mac & ETF's

Hello= all,

I’ve used Quicken for Mac for 10 years, and I’ve had very few i= ssues/problems with the software.  I have the latest Quicken 2007 updat= e installed on my original “Snowball” iMac, which is running OS =

10.4.11.  Right now I’m having trouble getting historical prices = on three ETF’S that I’ve added to the “watch list” i= n my portfolio.  Two of the ETF’s are iPath funds (I can’t = remember their symbols right now), the other is a SPDR Gold Fund (GLD).

I am able to get regular price updates when I access Quicken Quotes,= but I’d like to get whatever historical prices are available on these= ETF’s.  Since there isn’t an “ETF” category in= the quote setup window, I’ve tried setting up these fund both as mutu= al funds and as stocks—and it doesn’t matter—the historica= l prices for these three ETF’s fail to load.

Has anyone else using Quicken for Mac had this problem?  What workarou= nd was successful for you?  Like I said, the daily prices do upd= ate properly, it’s just that I can’t seem to get historical pric= es on these ETF’s, even for the past month or quarter.

Thanks,

Jean in VA

I had a similar problem on the Windows version of Quicken with FXE, the Euro Currency. The history data just would not download.

I downloaded the price history as a CSV file from Yahoo,

I edited the file in "OpenOffice.org Calc" which is similar to Excel. I then imported the history from the resulting file into Quicken. It only took a few minutes total.
