Any chance of getting FTM for MAC users?
Susan, this is why I used Virtual PC on my Mac – to run FTM v. 16. While the new version ran on XP, it was fairly slow. So I recently purchased a PC again for my Genealogy work.

What happened to 2009. It seems to have evaporated from FTM’s site.

I would like to see please some images of the new chart features in FTM 2009.
I have been advised by
Goulds Genealogy that you sent out an Email re 2009 free upgrade. Could you please re-send that to me.
Thanking you, regards Fred Dose.
I live in Australia and I have registered FTM 2008 with my purchase. As yet I have not received an email regarding an Upgrade to FTM 2009… Can you please advise.
Sincerely
Fay
Can I have some images of the new chart features?
The recent notice about Family Tree Maker 2009 did not indicate whether or not the new version is at last Mac OS X compatible. It puzzles me why Mac users cannot be accommodated – there are plenty of us out there and we have felt ignored and very left out. It may result in some frustrated users to transfer over to other more “friendly” genealogy websites. It just isn’t that difficult or unusual to produce software that is compatible with both systems. Having to use Virtual PC is not a good solution.
I have just upgraded from FTM 2005 to FTM 2009. I notice that the font size on the family pages ( when inputting the data) is very small. I have ppor eyesight and the previous large font on yellow background was very easy to see. How can I enlarge the font in 2009 ?
Thanks in anticiptaion!

Back when FTM first started, they had a mac version. They stopped providing updates for it and continued going with the Windoze version. I now run 2006 on my mac using VMWare. I am ready to upgrade to 2009 when I can move my book over.. right now it doesn’t have the book feature that 2006 does.
Good Morning
I also have a copy of FTM 2008, purchased in Nov 2007 from England, I live in Australia but wanted UK version.
I have had no notification about 2009.
would be grateful to learn how I can obtain upgrade.
Thank you
