I Have added nearly 150 pictures over the last three months. I was lucky enough to have pictures for most of my ancestors. Today when I went to work on the program, all pictures were gone. If you click on photos where the pictures were, there is a drawing of an old camera, in place of my picture. All the pictures were obtained from Picasa. I did note that if I click on Publish and go to my web site the pictures are still showing there. I tried backing up to an older version but still the pictures were gone. Does any one have any idea what could have happened? If I try to add pictures again and then publish, won't I have duplicate pictures on my web site?
Open Family Tree Builder, then the File > Manage Projects menu.
can you find your project with the photos in there?
If you can, delete the other project, and remove the relevant tree from your Family Site (the site currently has two trees, you can see that in the Family Tree > Manage Trees page)
If you can't find your project with the photos in Family Tree Builder,
I also don't want to publish current contact information for family members and am getting round this by entering the contact information in a Note for the person then checking the 'Private note (do not publish to site)' check box.
I have created a huge tree without any LastName. Now I have learned the correct LastName and need to apply a mass change and provide everyone in tree the same LastName information. How can I do that ?
Although there is no formal way to change many profiles at once, what you can do is the following:
You can go into your tree in Family Tree Builder and into Edit > Export To Excel and choose to export a list of people. You can then edit the list, and then re-import it.
Firstly, regarding the screen saver, there is no option to install Family Tree Builder without it. You can turn it off in Family Tree Builder by going into Family Tree Builder, and into Options > Screen Saver. There you will have the option to turn it off.
Regarding the toolbar, can you please send me a screenshot of it installing even after you unclick the option?

I'm running Windows Vista and I can't get the software to run on my PC, since it stops in the middle of installation bringing this message: Error0 installating book report. Any idea if Vista is supported, if so, what can I do to proceed with installation?
Thanks! I'm now using my user, the other is my dad's.
Listen I'm still having trouble installing the program because the link you gave me is not working, it says page not found. I tryied installing it again and I confirm that I tried installing it in c:\myheritage but is still not working.
Let me know if there is an other way/link to download the software for me to try again.
Dear Noam - I have the same problem with a Vista machine but I can't see any difference between the two links you gave in this email chain.
I have deleted the "old" version but the computer still thinks it is installed. When I try to install again it always stops at the "error 0 installing book report" point. On another Vista machine the program installed perfectly.
Presumably I have a registry entry that is flagging-up that the program install was attempted but I have asked everyone and no-one seems to know why this machine in particular is failing to load the program properly.
how can I enter children from a married woman and a different father, so that the child appears under the married parents name but still shows the other father as the biological father....if you follow..
Create the natural family (mother, father and child)
now add another spouse to the mother.
go back to the child, right click on his card, and choose Parents > Attach parents
choose: Existing parents are natural, new parents are adopting
and choose the mother and husband from the list.
Keep in mind, that even though the child will be displayed under both parents in Family Tree Builder, it will not be displayed under both parents online.
We will add this option to the Family Site as well soon.
But "adopting" is not always appropriate and you don't give any other choices. My sister did not "adopt" her husbands children they just became her step children. Adoption means the names would have changed etc.
this does still not solve the problem, when I go to "attach parents" in step 3 I only get an option of attaching two parents that are listed under "marriages",which is not right, I just want to attach one male as the bio father to a married female not his wife
, human nature does not follow good moral paths always and an option of attaching any one person to another, married or not and then selecting them as partners, other, friends, divorced, or whatever,to specify the connection, in my tree the child was not formally adopted by the married parents but took their name and just became part of their family, and everyone accepted it, the bio father takes no furthur part in the story, but for the future Id like to show the bio father as having some thing to do with his birth.
