I have been a user of Moneydance since 2011 and have had my investments updating daily until the google problem I believe in November. What do I need to do to get my investments to again update daily.

Hello,
If you weren't already aware, Yahoo stopped supporting downloads to third party applications at the end of 2017.
Our lead developer has been working on adding additional services to the Quotes and Exchange Rates extension. We have had positive results with the free-to-use service Alpha Vantage, and have pushed a new version of the Quotes and Exchange rates extension that will allow connections to this service.
If you would like to download prices and rates from Alpha Vantage via this new extension you will need to be running the latest version of Moneydance 2017. This may require purchasing an upgrade key at http://infinitekind.com/purchase
The latest stable version is Moneydance 2017.6 and can be downloaded from here.
The new Quotes and Exchange Rates is available in Moneydance via Extensions --> Manage Extensions. You'll see an 'Update' button next to the extension name.
The new extension pulls data from https://Alphavantage.co which is a free service that specifically provides an API for people and apps to retrieve prices for exchange rates and security prices.
When using the updated extension for the first time, you should select Alpha Vantage as the source. You’ll then be prompted to visit the Alpha Vantage site to claim an API key. You can then enter the key into Moneydance to begin downloading your prices and rates.
We're still working on finding and adding additional sources, but for now the Alpha Vantage support should handle the vast majority of our customer's usage.
If you encounter any issues with the new extension let me know and we can troubleshoot further.

Opened Moneydance at 5:45 PM 1/8/18
Why are some investments getting price for 1/5 and the remainder 1/8

I've just installed the Alpha Vantage API key and all of the stock updates result in an error. When doing the update the list shown at the bottom of the screen says something about "no security certificate found". This then disappears and then display 15 errors of 15 quotes obtained. I'm running 2017.4 (1624). All my stocks are on the Australian Stock Exchange.

I am not support staff, just a user.
You need to update to 2017.6(1656) from https://infinitekind.com/download-moneydance-personal-finance-software
Then update Q & ER extension to v1012 under EXTENSIONS - MANAGE EXTENSION.
Then you can determine how many Australian Securities Alpha Vantage can find.
Hope this helps
