Quicken 2006 for Mac Release 2 Patch is Out Already

and available for download frm this Intuit Web page. Hot on the heals of the original release, the R2 patch provides these significant improvements:

General

• Stability improvements were made to prevent Quicken from quitting unexpectedly when launching or during data file conversion on systems running Mac OS X 10.4 or higher.
  
• Stability improvements were made to prevent Quicken from quitting unexpectedly when launching when certain internal files become corrupted. The files in question are now repaired and Quicken launches as expected.
  
• The Open Recent menu item did not display its submenu when there were no recent files to display. This issue has been resolved .
  
• Quicken has been updated to check with a new server for information about the availability of software updates.
  

Backup to .Mac

• When running a scheduled update, Quicken sometimes created and copied a backup file to .Mac when the Backup to .Mac feature was enabled. This has been corrected so the backup is no longer created in this situation.
  

Online Banking

• When selecting a downloaded transaction in the Download Transactions window, Quicken sometimes failed to copy the transaction to the register section of this window. This issue has been resolved.
  
• When using the Scheduled Updates tab of the One Step Update window, clicking the weekday buttons rendered the buttons unreadable. This issue has been resolved . When canceling a Quicken Bill Pay payment, the payment would be marked as a sent payment in the register. Quicken now correctly marks the cancelled payment.
