I used the conversion utility to take a FTM 2009 PC file into a FTM 2010 Mac file. Will Mac 3 open that Mac 2010 .ftmd file? Will I lose any data?

I honestly don't know the answer to your question. I THINK you can do this, but I'm really not sure. You should call the Phone Help number: 1-800-262-3787. They've been good at answering my questions.

I use it to transfer data back and forth between Mac and PC. Because it's FAT32, which both can read and write to.

Can't help with any specific advice as I am using my drive with a Mac, but I can't see why there would be a problem. If you received a drive pre-formatted for a Macintosh, then doubtless, you need to use a Windows program to reformat it. Good Luck!

My daughter has a Mac and is using the hard drive normally, with no complaints. I don't think any fine names were changed, since the new mac OS lets me exchange files over a thumbrave with no problems. I hope this helps!

Yes, You may have to format to work. The one I bought was exFAT. exFAT is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.5 or newer, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Just to throw in my 2 cents here, the Disk Utility reformat mentioned above in Andrew's post is spot-on. The drive so far as been great to use. However, I'm running Mac 10.5.6 and it was immediately recognized when I first plugged it in: it mounted and Time Machine asked if I wanted to use it for backups... I did the reformatting anyway as the apps on board are no use to a Mac owner. BTW, the $99 price was unbelievable! Fingers crossed on reliability, Yikesboy

There is no reason why this drive would not work on any Mac running OSX 10.4 or higher. There are some OSX applications on the drive but I've never used them (I just deleted them) so I don't know if they'll run on 10.10. You don't need them to use the drive on your Mac.

You shouldn't have any problem. I have used FTM for years and generally upgrade about every two versions. It is generally seamless. I am using FTM12 now and had no problem upgrading.

The drive is supported, it comes formatted in fat32. You can reformat to mac only or exFat if you want. USB 3 is not supported on macs (yet, you'll need a new mac), but the drive works just fine.I have 2, use them both on mac's and pc's with no issues. Great drive, really fast even on usb2.

My recommendation would be to get the Windows version and leave it as a single NTFS partition. Just load the included utility on your Mac so that it will read/write to an NTFS disc and use the single large partition for both platforms. Makes it easy to share files cross-platform that way.

Yes, but accessing the data will depend on how the drive is formatted. I think (you'll have to check) the drive comes formatted in NTSF. For use with both PC and Mac, you'll have to re-format the drive in something like FAT 23. Both Mac and PC should recognize the drive, but FAT 23 has file size limitations.

It worked for me. I transferred files from an old PC laptop to my MacBook but it took some effort to figure it out. I have since found an easier (and free) way to do this. Your Mac has a built in application called Migration Assistant. It can be found by clicking on the Finder icon, then click on Applications. You'll then go to Utilities and that's where you'll find Migration Assistant. Very easy to follow steps and it walks you right through them. You gotta love the Apple geniuses.

I talked about this in my review, actually, as my hd didn't come with the driver.. You have to install the driver in order for it to work on the mac unless you want time machine to reformat it for you (but then it won't work on a PC). There's also this link.. http://blog.nolar.info/ntfs-3g-in-mac-os-x-lion-10-7-with-read-write-support/ Hope that helps..

If I understand your question, yes, and I am sure it was in my 2008 version, too. FTM 2010 is far superior to 2008. I suggest upgrading to the Essentials version. If I understand what you mean, in 2010 you go to the Publish tab, select Relationship Reports, and then OUtline Descendant Report. Presto...you are done.

PC and Mac use different file systems. It will work on one or the other but not both at the same time.
