Does anyone know how to apply mass updates to the same reoccuring "past
history" transactions with same categories? vs. manually updating each
one-by-one?

Example: update-> apply the same category to all my past payments to Cable
Vision?

I would make an extra copy of your file in case you do not like the
result. Then go to Tools->FindAndReplace and choose the Advanced
Search. After you do the Find portion, it will present a Replace
portion. There you can make changes to the Payee or Category, etc
for selected transactions.
