Can you transfer a ged.com from Family Tree Maker (Windows program) to the Reunion Program for Mac?

Yes, it is very easy. Just export your ged com file to disk then import it into Reunion.

Yes. No problem. Just hook it up to your Mac, open up Time Machine and follow the simple instructions.

No one has responded. My tech expert son believes that we will be able to do it. We will try this afternoon. I will hopefully be able to update you on our progress. Only other issue is that I do not have sufficient memory on my MacBook Pro right now...so we will try to transfer "through" the Mac to an external hard drive.

You can create a "book" which would take some effort but it does allow you to add images. The book can then be saved as a pdf. You can export trees as Family Treemaker files with images/media, but the user would have to have FTM to open them. GEDCOM files, a universal file system, do not support images.

Since Mac and PC are different file structures and associations its not straight forward.you can go from PC(windows) to a Mac(running windows) or a Mac(windows programs) to a PC(windows).Anything else you'd need a 3rd party translation program. I don't know of any that are 100%.Even basic files like word documents don't always transfer properly from Mac to PC unless both do windows.

There is on Mac. I'm not sure about Windows. On Mac you go into your display settings and your old profile will be there.

No- sorry but its a windows based program. Good luck as you search for the program that will work for you.

Also, give BootCamp a shot. It's a free download on the Apple website. The only downside is that you would have to dual-boot the Mac, which means, if you want to use the Windows apps, you would have to reboot your Mac into the Windows OS. I would recommend Parallels, but if $80 is not in the budget, BootCamp is the best alternative.

You can transfer any document or photo from your old computer, just attaching a portable DVD writer to you new computer. Another way is using icloud.

Yes. Just need to format it in a format thats appropriate for Windows. Like exFAT. There are some formats that will be read/write for both Mac/Window. These will be most versatile

You can read your docs in SSD and create new docs also in offline too.It will work as the other computer.

You won't need to do a manual download, Ancestry.com will do that for you when you open your Family Tree Maker on your computer. The two data bases (Ancestry.com and FTM) will "sync" up with each other automatically. When you add data to FTM it will sync with Amcestry.com when you exit the program. When you go online and add data to Ancestry.com it will sync up the next time you open the FTM program on your computer. You can also download your family tree from Ancestory.com and FTM into a GEDCOM file that can be uploaded to other genealogy programs and websites.

Yes. Time Machine can automatically back up to this, and you can use the drive as a regular network share and store files on it that you no longer want on your mac. It works well with OSX, works horribly with Windows.

Yes. Using the migration assistant. http://www.ehow.com/how_8287570_clone-mac-computer.html

Yes but it has to be formatted. It won't work with data from both windows and Mac

No and that has caused us a great deal of pain. We had all of our addresses, anniversarys, etc on file. Tried a virtual machine thing but it would not transfer all the data We are still trying to work out a way If you have any ideas let us know irv8063@bellsouth.net

You can install the software on another computer, but don't forget to transfer the file you created for your tax return to that other computer as well.
