Family Historian User Group

Hi, I am running v5.9 on windows 8.1, I now wish to change and use my Mac computer which runs Mavericks, will Family Historian load onto the Mac? do I need to install Parameters? I guess there still is no version released for Mac?

Many thanks for any reply

I have managed to find one file which shows 6921 individuals in my tree (this is on a baby computer (7inch) I know I had...

Hi Jane,

Just saying I made it with the new password etc.

Hi Tatewise,
Many thanks for the information and concern re my problem. It has now been fixed, the fault being through the anti virus/security program I have.

Many thanks I'm now back on track and happy.

Hello Jane,
I have just tried to enter again the key registration but can't get into program as message still shows as :entered key is not valid. I copied & pasted the key. So I am locked out of fh now. I was using an administrator account too.

I did this 5 times fed up then the 6th time says key is not valid!!!! tired of doing this wasted full day can I just uninstall the damn upgrade and go b...

Many thanks for quick replies Jane, PWE and Latewise.

Using FH v 4 have saved on a flash drive and want to take it with me interstate and use on my small notebook while on holiday, which does not have FH installed, FH won't open from flash drive would this be correct? or have I done something wrong?[frown]

Thank you Jane and Tatewise, just followed the steps as you said now back with FH, (always easy when you know how). Many thanks for the help.[smile]

Suddenly about 6 months ago when I opened Family Historian it was all taken over and only shown as MY HERITAGE, I know they alway notify us with smart matches we have in FH but how come they make your FH disappear? My son in law deleted it and got FH back but now as I needed to publish my tree again...

Many thanks once again Jane, I was in families tab BUT not sure what happened but all okay now.
