Attention: Media file import
Media files are images, audio recordings or videos connected to persons, families or events in your family tree.
Not every version of Family Tree Maker allows you to export links to your media files. You can see if your version of Family Tree Maker allows you to do so, please check the export dialogue for „include media files“.
Unfortunately the developers of Family Tree Maker made the very poor choice of not importing media files but just linking them. Just Family Tree Maker knows where these files are and there are just links to those media files. Therefore, your media files might be distributed to multiple locations on your computer.
It’s mandatory for MacFamilyTree to import these files from a folder containing all media files like pictures, videos and audio files- and without any sub-folders. Create such a folder by:
1. Create a new folder called media folder on your desktop
2. Open your family tree in Family Tree Maker
3. Go to Media
4. Select all media items by clicking into the Media Window, then hit Command-A (or CTRL-A on Windows keyboards)
6. Open your new media folder and paste all media items into this folder (Command-V or CTRL-V on Windows keyboards)
7. All your media items are now stored in your new media folder. Choose this media folder when you import your GEDCOM file or copy this folder onto your iPhone or iPad using the iTunes file transfer.
