Broderbunds Family Tree Maker

Would someone be as kind as to help me convert a file?
I used to have Broderbunds Family tree maker. I made an extensive family tree.
I then exported the family tree as a Gedcom file (i think that is what it was called.)
I purchased Reunion for OS X.
I imported the GedCom file and saved as a Reunion 8 family tree file.
I then threw away my Broderbund Family Tree Marker install disc.
BUT THEN my hard disc crashed.
The last back up of my family tree was in the Classic broderbund Family tree application NOT in Reunion 8 for OS x.
Is there any one out there who would be willing to
a, except my email and attachment.
b. open it in Broderbund Classic Family tree maker.
c. export it as a GenCom
d. email it back to me.
so I can import it into Reunion and not have to start from scratch?
That would be a hugely appreciated favor.
Thanks

was able to import after creating new family tree file

What has caused an app I purchased (Family Tree Maker for Mac) and currently have installed, to disappear from the Mac Store. Does this mean it is no longer sold? If so, how will I get update notices or re-download if needed?

I purchased and installed Family Tree Maker for Mac from the App Store about 6 months ago. I heard that possibly a new version was coming, though I had not received any update notice. I went to the App Store and it no longer shows the app, either as available for purchase or as an app I have previously purchased. So I can't get any information on the app, support, etc.. How can an app I have purchased disappear from the purchased list??? How can I get update information or support links? (contacted FTM website and phone support and they said if I bought my program from App store, I have to get update information there).....the Update Info button in my program is actually greyed out!! So the program I bought doesn't even have the normal update link!! I thought one of the advantages of App Store purchase was being able to redownload the program in the unlikely event it was lost....ie: no need to worry about having the install CD. So now I only have my installed, operating copy and no way to reinstall if it crashes due to corrupt data, etc.!! Not a happy result from an App Store purchase! And I must say the circular references in the support link are frustarting...apparently there is NO live support for the App Store itself!

Thanks for THAT tip: iTunes acct. history DOES show my (few) Mac app purchases, buried in with my MANY iPhone and iPad apps! So I CAN prove I bought it (7 months ago, not 6), but you wouldn't know it from the App Store app on my Mac! But that does leave a few other ?'s hanging: like how could I download it again, or check for updates (as I said, the version installed has the "update" button greyed out! Ancestry.com (who sells it online and support it for other buyers said update info for App Store purchasers comes through the App Store.
I may just be out of luck with this because after 7 months of ownership, they (Ancestry) just replaced FTM with a new version (Family Tree Maker for Mac2) that is NOT an upgrade (though prior owners get $4.00 off on a $52.00 purchase!!). I'll probably just plump for that....direct from Ancestry.com...and give up on the Mac App Store, because the new version reportedly has major enhancements in sync-ing your family history record between your computer and the cloud program available online. Genealogy software, like everything else is migrating to the cloud, but one really does need a resident program on their device because you're often collecting data "in the field" in libraries, historical archives, cemeteries, etc. where you really can't get online in many cases. Fortunately, more and more of the source data is coming online, so more and more can be done from home!

Migrate family tree maker from xp to Macbook Air

I am a heavy user of Family Tree Maker, Ancestry and other geneological SW. Can I migrate my FTM DB from XP to Macbook Air? Does anyone have an idea of equivalence of function. I don't want ot use Boot Camp.
I am planning to buy a Macbook Air to replace my old xp laptop but don't want to lose my FTM data.
Thanks

Here is the Mac version of Family Tree Maker.
Contact Ancestry.com to ensure that the PC and Mac versions are compatible and that you can migrate your data.
Alternatively, you can run the PC verision under XP using Parallels or VMware Fusion virtualisation software.

Family Tree Maker compatibility with MacBook Pro upgrades

Blessings to those who are able to reply with possible answers. I am sorry....but I have spent days working on getting my two USB ports to work also. I basically use the USB ports for a wireless mouse and various flashdrives/memory sticks. I have a MacBook Pro 2011 Snow Leopard 10.6.8 I have tried software update, SMC and PRAM resets, battery reset, hardware test, creating a new user account....and browsing and reading numerous discussion boards.....awgh! I have stopped short of using my install DVD (fear of loosing data), upgrading to Lion or Mountain Lion (some fear of loosing an application that might not be compatible FAMILY TREE MAKER 2010 19.2.1.241), contacting an Apple Store (AppleCare or whatever--live 2 hours away + fear of expense), and of course, trashing the laptop. Does anyone out there have any possible solutions? I see I am not alone. --A frustrated first-time Apple products owner.

Quote below from the Family Tree site:
System Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.5 or later, including OS X Lion (10.7)
Intel-based Mac
DVD Drive
All online features require Internet access.
Since Mountain Lion has not been released, there is no mention of compatibility.

my cds have stopped playing and I have been unable to install my family tree maker software. The CD player appears to work, but the CD doesn't appear

None of my cds play, and don't show on finder, or as an icon on the desk top, EXCEPT for a free CD that came with a mag that I have just tried, which is weird

Hi i am i have any ipad and i am trying to download family tree maker that i purchased online, but all that keeps co ing up is safari cannot download file can anyone help me .....bebe

I think you are trying to install a computer application to use on an iPad. You can't. They are incompatible pieces of hardware. If you want Family Tree Maker for your iPad, then you need to get that version, if it exists, from the iTunes Store. That download can't be done via Safari.

Developer Adobe Flash Player 10.1 r52 embedded in Family Tree Maker 2012 & 2014 - Vulnerability

Here is the issue.
I have Windows 8.0. Flash runs fine on the Internet Explorer - no problem.
But I have a third party software company (Family Tree Maker v. 2014) which has a flash .exe file that is outdated and causes a vulnerability (per Kaspersky).
The version of flash embedded in the program is Adobe Flash Player 10.1 r52. The file name is "Tutorial_PC.exe" and is 6,311 KB. Under file properties under the Details it states the file version as 10.1.52.14 (also it is the same for Product version). I also see the original file name as "SAFlashPlayer.exe".
A Date Modified is 8/5/2011.
Is there not an updated developer version of flash that is secure and doesn't produce vulnerability flags which either I can exchange with this version or Family Tree Maker can rebuild their new software with?
Thank you

Could it be the standalone Flash Player (Projector)? Does it play local .swf files?
If so, you can download the latest version from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
If indeed your SAFlashPlayer.exe is associated with .swf files, then you need to change the file association to the newly downloaded standalone player.

I am trying to crop faces from old family group photos and paste them on to records in Family Tree Maker. When I do this, the pasted cropped image reverts to the original of the entire family. Is there a way of unlinking the original version from the crop

I am trying to crop faces from old family group photos and paste them on to records in Family Tree Maker. When I do this, the pasted cropped image reverts to the original of the entire family. Is there a way of unlinking the original version from the cropped image?

Are you copying the cropped images directly from Aperture's Browser window and then pasting into your family tree?
It would be safer to export the cropped faces as new image files to a folder on your disk, and then drag them from there to the "Family Tree" window.
To export select the cropped image versions in Aperture's browser and use the command "File > Export > Version". Select a suitable export preset from the pop-up menu, for example "Jpeg fit into ..." and select a folder to export to.

Adobe Flash Player 9 and Family Tree Maker 2011

I currently have Adobe Flash Player 11 with Windows 7 O/S. Kaspersky is telling me that I have a vulnerability with Family Tree Maker 2011 on their tutorial.exe file. For example, when I go to FTM tutorial, it comes up on Adobe Flash Player 9. Family Tree Maker does not know how to resolve this and neither do I. Can someone assist me on this. Thank you.

I do not understand what this means; you wrote that you have Flash Player 11? If you cannot describe it, please post a screenshot.

Why I can not run the mac software purchased from Ancestry for Family Tree Maker 2 or 4

The software would not sync with ancestry family tree macker with out crashing when trying to sync.. This was both the FTM for Mac 2 and FTM for Mac 4.

According to RoaringApps, FTM is not known to be compatible with Mavericks. I would contact the developer.

I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

Firefox 4.0 is my default browser, and I am receiving a script error message when I try to view online images in Family Tree Maker 2011, a genealogy program. Have not had problems until Firefox 4.0. Can't seem to find a setting in Firefox to fix this.

Error is as follows: Line: 63 Char: 4344 Error: Unable to get value of the property 'offsetHeight': object is null or undefined Code: 0 URL: http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?2.8.0/build/yuiloader-dom- event/yuiloader-dom-event.js&2.8.0/build/dragdrop/dragdrop- min.js&2.8.0/build/stylesheet/stylesheet- Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Y/N buttons."

I see. Well, I just tried to make IE my default browser, but it did not solve the problem. I receive the same script error when I view the image. (I may not have explained this thoroughly enough at first - I do get to view the image after answering the error message, but the print button embedded in the window doesn't work. Before, I never had a problem with viewing or printing.)
I imagine that at this point I will either need to communicate this to the IE people, or possibly revert to an older version of IE.

Problems Installing Family Tree Maker for MAC (2010)

I am new to MAC so don't know too much yet. I just installed a new geneology program "FTW for MAC" and it appears to have installed correctly. When I open it, I see a box stating that I am not connected to the internet, or a firewall is blocking it. However, the software updates download and so I am clearly on the internet. Once I download the update it says "install and relaunch" but when I do, it doesn't re-open the program and gives me an error report. I called the makers of the software "ancestry.com" but they can't seem to solve the problem.

The developer is trying to "pass the buck." IMHO, your problem has nothing to do with Apple software - the software developer needs to make changes. Besides, you have reinstalled OS X 10.9 (which is almost always unnecessary). I would not accept an "its Apple's problem" from your software developer.

I have just installed Family Tree Maker 2012. It recommends use of Firefox 3.6, but that doesn't seem to be available from the download page. Is there any way to get this version?

I currently use Chrome as my web browser and am not able to access the Ancestry.com website using it. Every attempt to sync my records fails and the manual suggests use of Internet Explorer or Firefox 3.6 However, the current download available is not 3.6 but appears to be Version 8...? (based on the first question on the Contact Us screen, which relates to having upgraded from 3.6)

You are welcome :)

I purchased an updated version of Family Tree Maker and had it downloaded. Now I am unable to install the update. What do I do?

I am unable to install a dowloaded program. What do I do?

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.
