She was very happy with the performance of the software on that size of tree.These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“user” or “you”) and Family Tree Builder® (“we” or “us”), concerning your access to and use of Family Tree Builder®, as well as any other media form, media channel, website, mobile or desktop application. However, I quizzed one user with a large tree of over twenty thousand entries (well, that’s very large to me!). I don’t have one so I can’t give a personal recommendation. I’ve heard several FTM users praise the Mac mini range. If you’re thinking of purchasing an iPad because it’s so light, then you could check out some alternatives that let you run Family Tree Maker directly on the machine. So, I advise you to re-enable the power-saving features when you don’t need remote access. If you’re using a laptop and keep it running over a prolonged period (like a year), you may find that your battery degrades until it’s faulty. You have to go into your settings to turn this off. Most computers now are set up by default to go into sleeping mode if left unattended. And when I say “running”, it can’t be in sleeping or hibernation mode. ![]() Note that the home machine must be switched on even though you are away. Once you’ve connected, you can merrily work away on Family Tree Maker from your iPad. This lets you connect remotely from your iPad to your main machine. ![]() The easiest solution is to install the free TeamViewer app onto both your iPad and your home computer. But if you’re comfortable installing apps, you won’t have a problem setting it up. This method is a little more complicated than others. If you don’t mind leaving your standard Windows or Mac computer running at home, then this option could be good for you. Workaround: Use Your iPad To Dial Into Your Home Computer Then you would import this smaller tree into to show your family online. You can achieve this by exporting part of the tree in FTM as a GEDCOM file. However, if you’re going to visit a cousin or other family member, you could consider carving out a smaller section of your tree for their perusal. People with larger trees can experience delays and problems. I know that plenty of FTM users prefer not to use the sync feature frequently. Simple Workaround: Use On Your iPad Browser I describe this method in the next section. I must admit that I’m not a fan of the interface. MacKiev says that they released the app for people on the go who can whip out their iPad and show their trees to relatives. The relationship calculator is not available.You cannot make changes to your family tree.These are some of the features that people miss: There are plenty of limitations to FTM Connect that makes it unpopular with some users. If you don’t want to use Tree Vault, then FTM Connect won’t work for you. The app is free but you do need to pay for the Tree Vault features. It is a lightweight version that lets you view your current family tree if it has been uploaded to Tree Vault. FTM Connect Works On An iPadįTM Connect is a separate application from the full Family Tree Maker software. ![]() MacKiev has no current plans to develop a version of FTM for iPads. The iPadOS is a version of the operating system that is also an iPhone. MacKiev, the software company behind Family Tree Maker, states clearly that their software only runs on a Windows or a Mac operating system.Īpple’s iPads run on a different operating system known as iPadOS. ![]()
