Hi ~ Are you still looking for a Mac version? I've been on MyHeritage for a year and I love it! I was on Windows, but now I need to use a Mac computer. At the bottom of your home page in the green area go to Support, then Help. I entered Apple in the question box and it replies to ask MyHeritage to "flip a switch" so you can do your updates directly on the internet site. At the bottom it says "Ask an agent by email" - click on it and ask them to "flip the switch" for Mac. You'll get an email confirming your work order, then another when it's done.
To maintain a person profile, find that person in your tree. Click on the person you want to update. The left column shows the current Profile information. The blue button View profile allows you to add information about Education, Work, Favorites, Biography, Web Content, and share your memories of this person. You can also add photos here. Edit Details gives you a small window for name and birth info. The Options drop box lets you Add relatives, View this person's branch, Connect to existing person, Remove connection, Delete this Person. In the left column you can add photos. The main area for updates will be Facts. You can click Add to add the basic information about a fact. Click on an existing fact to add or change information.
Hi Robert, I have the same problem. Now running on a new mac but is still not possible use MyHeritage. Furthermore I didn't find any program with the same features at moment. I'm just thinking to build my own family tree by iweb.
OS X is the fastest growing operating system (by market-share %). It is quite honestly ridiculous that a site such as myHeritage does not have a solution of any kind for Mac users (such as myself).
Perhaps they could release at least a limited version of the software to judge how many people would use this version of the program, which I for one would.
To other Mac users out there, at the moment your only options are to load your FTB family tree into a virtual Windows installation or use bootcamp to dual-boot your mac, neither is ideal!
Hi Adam, I totally agree with your opinion! Don't know if could be a good idea write few rows to My Heritage about the missing software for Macintosh. If others My Heritage's users could follow our request I think we could receive a faster solution.
I am attempting to run the Family Tree Builder on my Mac through VMware Fusion, but I have some problems.
My problem is that I had to do a fresh install of windows under Fusion and then download my family tree from the site - and I can't find a way to import the .ZED file into the new installation.
A native Mac OS X version would be great though! Is this being planned?
With regards to Esthers comment about no plans for MAC well it is just a little daft and I think that there shoul be a law. I have Windows so not a problem for me but I am not biased by windows / mac or linux but I know people who can only use Mac/Linux or Windows. Get with the program guys.
Perhaps it is time to implement a Mac version including iphone/ipod app. There is a huge growing market out there and you are missing out. It will really differentiate FTB from all other PC programs.
The idea of a fully functional iphone app that you take with you everywhere rather than a laptop or netbook is the way of the future.
There are 2 mac versions now but they don't have your capabilities.
dont need a native software though just all features in online/web version. Especially the link smart matches feature. Can see the matches but can only contact them for now. Why not create the features in online version first and then migrate to offline version?
a 99c iphone/ipad version would fill your pockets with nice $$ though.
The merge smart matches feature is a feature that is only available in Family Tree Builder and is not available in the online site. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We are looking into adding an iphone app in the future.
Hello, I would be also interested in either a Mac version of the family tree builder or the possibility to merge smart matches online. I just learned that neither is possible at the moment. Stupid me. Because merging smart matches was the reason why I upgraded to Premium member. Since I just upgraded yesterday, I will withdraw the membership again because as a Mac User I do not have any incentive for using a paid version.
