Then FTM decided to introduce their latest program that was compatible with WIN 7 and that made my FTM 16 slightly incompatible, but usable. I actually wrote to the folks at FTM and said that they had a real nice product, and I would continue to support them by buying the entire set of data they had for sale. As the versions were updated, I found that version 16 with WIN XP did just about everything that one could ask for a genealogy program. I purchased my first FTM program before 2005, and thought that it handled family data quite well. I have advised them of the several hundred dissatisfied customers who have posted one star ratings and as they are now aware of the issues ( may or may not have been before but am sure I am not the only person to lodge a complaint with them), unless they can feed back to me within the week will be taking this. response is all they can do is pass on sentiments and provide hollow apologies. and suggestions to uninstall and re-install, even a request to access my laptop remotely? ( I DONT THINK SO?) Request a refund. On contacting ancestry, buck passing at the best. No choice it seems but to lose the tree! After years of work am less than impressed.
Wouldn't load properly, screen resolution issues, missing font and on accessing back up file from 2012 indicated there was a corrupt file. On purchasing new laptop a few months later, purchased Treemaker 2014. computer crashes, media files which don't load but provide some fancy icon which when clicked brings up an endless list of censuses not identifiable.
#BUY FAMILY TREE MAKER 2014 SOFTWARE UPGRADE#
Having started with 2009, then 2012 I purchased an upgrade for 2012. Web Integration is discounted because 2 relatives in different cities can NOT make changes on their FTM and have it appear of the other person's FTM. It sometimes loses notes for random people and the note portion of sources, so it does not keeping the info I have entered. It often generates a second unknown spouse married on the same date with the same ID number as the real spouse.Ī year ago when I last merged files, it lost all notes in the source file. However, I am very disappointed with its losing connections to data, and its impossible to tell when and where these errors occur.
#BUY FAMILY TREE MAKER 2014 SOFTWARE PDF#
You simply create an outline of the charts, reports and photo albums you want, and the program automatically includes changes and generates a PDF file of the book contents. I have been using Family Tree Maker for years up to the 2014, and I love the ease of writing books because it generates the table of contents, the place usage and the index, and it automatically resizes photos for 1 to 25 per page and multiple pages if necessary.
