I have some very old files/pre 2007/FBC.FTW. Will I be able to load this onto this software and see all my info such as pics Ive saved and such?

As long as your files are not from the original Family Tree maker you should be alright. The only thing is is that you can not go back to the older version of FTM unless you make a copy. Also it is recommended that you use the backup file if you have lots of pictures and documents because a GED does not save them but will reference them as a source.

As luck would have it, I found "Dore.exe" on an old backup. It's a 982 Kb file, with no other files associated, and when I click it, it says that it's going to unZip some files, so this could be what you're looking for. Understand, I make no promises, guarantees or warranties, but I'm happy to send it if you want to try it... Question is, how would I get it to you?

I believe it could, WITH the proper software. Such software is not included, but I would imagine it exists. This creates standard files that should be viewable in any number of ways.

It is my understanding that upgrades are only for previous versions. I am fairly sure you can get an answer about this from the Filemaker site.

You can download your files to it, and it will convert them to the new format. Be sure to do a back-up file of what you have on 2003 before you download 2011. Then on 2011 you'll do an "import" of your back-up files.

For me it was a great improvement since I upgraded from 2009. I especially like the fact that my information is only one file now. I did the Amazon download. Hope this helps.

Yes, you just stick in in the usb slot it will show up as a drive, you open that drive and you'll be able to see all the recordings. You can then save them to your computer and name them so you'll remember what was on them.

I was able to save all pics and some of my desktop items. But your best to move everything to a flash stick, or a disk of some sort just to be safe.

Yes, it should open any old Corel files...I've been using Corel Draw since 1989...(v1.0!), and still have almost all of my disks, and sometimes dig then out to access old clip art. IF the OPEN COMMAND doesn't work, you may be able to get to it by using the IMPORT option. We are teaching my youngest the basics of Corel now.

What is new in this version ? Can we see the files as dvd covers ?(If we dowload them and rename same as the video file name)

Not an expert on this, but after my own recent unbacked-up-data-loss fiasco, I *believe* Time Machine (part of Apple OS X) not only backs up each item---text file, photo, song, movie, etc.---on your computer, but creates a whole copy ("image") of the complete contents of your computer---including apps. In the event of data-loss disaster, you can simply restore your complete computer the way it was.This drive's features list describes it "Time Machine ready"

I am using an ever older version of FTM -- 3.02 -- and I have the same concern. Will I be able to import my data to FTM 2009? Hope someone will have the answer to this. Thank you.

Kind of, I bought one to read old files from the 80's - 90's. It took some time for Windows 7 to recognize the device. I can't remember how but I know I had to load the drivers manually from a web site that a private owner had, not Iomega. They use to say that those files would last for 30-35 years if stored correctly. I think they were stretching the truth a little. I stored them in a dark, dry and cool space. I had a number of labeled disc where nothing showed up when I tried to download them. Hundreds of photos lost forever. Very disappointing. Good luck.

You should be able to. Just save it to your computer and burn to a CD as you would normally.

Me too! I'm not going to seriously consider purchasing anything computer related unless I see the manual that goes with it. Is it (i.e., Canvio) truly plug and play? Can you selectively choose individual files to back up? I'm not at all interested in wasting time and space backing up files that I really don't wish to back up. (I only wish to back up photographs.) Filtering through all the comments, while helpful writ large, takes a lot of time when looking for particular information. A manual please.

You should be able to recover just the files that you want, assuming you can locate them (meaning that they haven't been overwritten yet) and you can identify the names of the files. (In the case of a really bad disc crash, you might only find hundreds of now un-named files that need to be opened individually to figure out which is which. This is rare, though, and doesn't sound like what you're dealing with.)
