How do I transfer a Family Tree Maker file from one computer to another?
In order to successfully transfer your files from one computer to another, you will first need to have Family Tree Maker installed on both computers. Family Tree Maker has two basic versions – PC and Mac. These are purchased separately, so if you have both a PC and a Mac you will need to buy both versions in order to transfer files between your computers. You will also need a removable storage device (such as a burnable CD/DVD, a thumb or flash drive, or an external hard drive) to move your files.
