Cannot download file from dropbox. When I select to allow Dropbox I get a VERY long authorization code to enter into MD. Able to copy code but not paste so I've tried to enter manually several times but no success. Advice? File was originally set up from my home computer, an IMac running same version of MD</p></div>jhoward162tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489894702021-01-23T17:04:22Z2021-01-23T17:04:22ZOpening file on new computer<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>

That at least worked for pasting. Don't know why I couldn't from trackpad. Unfortunately couldn't find file on Dropbox. Wonder if I never set up file syncing properly</p></div>jhoward162tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489894702021-01-23T17:39:31Z2021-01-23T17:39:31ZOpening file on new computer<div><p>Out of interest are you using Dropbox Connection?<br>
If you’re stuck you could try installing Dropbox and then when it’s sync’d select Dropbox folders instead.. it might bypass your issue.</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489894702021-01-23T17:40:45Z2021-01-23T17:40:45ZOpening file on new computer<div><p>Are you doing File New Open Sync’d folder?</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489894702021-01-23T17:47:01Z2021-01-23T17:47:01ZOpening file on new computer<div><p>To see if you have any data<br>
Finder<br>
Dropbox<br>
Cmd shift . (That’s a dot) to view hidden files<br>
Find .moneydancesync and double click<br>
Do you have folders with looooong numbers? These are MD sync datasets</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489894702021-01-23T18:05:31Z2021-01-23T18:05:31ZOpening file on new computer<div><p>You should not use syncing to move a data file to a new main computer. There is a difference between a primary data set and a secondary synchronized data set.</p>
<p>Copy your main datafile from the primary computer to the new primary computer.</p></div>sthtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489894702021-01-23T21:39:18Z2021-01-23T21:39:18ZOpening file on new computer<div><p>Been trying to open sync file with Dropbox connection but just get the message no syncable files found.

Rather than sync with Dropbox, I tried opening the .qif file that was in iCloud but just got Java null error message. Any way to open that backup file?</p></div>jhoward162tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489894702021-01-24T04:06:36Z2021-01-24T04:06:36ZOpening file on new computer<div><p>It is a bug in the Welcome screen in build 2006, fixed in the preview builds, but can be worked around by first creating a new data set then importing the file.</p>
<p>However a QIF file is NOT a backup, a QIF file only contains raw transactions nothing more.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489894702021-01-24T13:37:47Z2021-01-24T13:37:47ZOpening file on new computer<div><p>That worked fine, thanks. Unfortunately MD still in demo mode and would not let me register with previously purchased license key!</p></div>jhoward162tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489894702021-01-24T19:51:09Z2021-01-24T19:51:09ZOpening file on new computer<div><p>License keys are version specific. When you purchase directly from The Infinite Kind your key will be valid for the version it was purchased for and the next major release, beyond that you can purchase an upgrade at a 50% discount.</p>
