I have an older version. If I buy this will it automatically transfer all my personally input recipes?

Yes! Here's a link that explains how. There's even a video. http://support.mastercook.com/entries/22017556-Transferring-Recipes-and-Files-from-a-Previous-Version If for some reason the link won't post here, go to Mastercook (dot com) and look under support. Also, while there, check out the new web import so you can download recipes right off the web.

The support via email has been great..usually a 1day response time. The synch seems to work quite well and I have the app on my android phone with all of my recipes (which is great when shopping!)

No. You can make up your own recipes. In face, the item comes with recipes you can use.

Hi Ele The downloadable recipe ebook is automatically sent by email the day after purchase. I apologize for the late reply. Dez Cuzzina

You have to convert the old format to the new one. The reason I upgraded is because I wanted more features, but you need to re learn several of the commands, and some of the old does not work quite as before.

Yes, but if you ever want to go back to the earlier version you won't be able to reverse the process. I hope that helps.

We may not be on the same page. The device doesn't actually store recipes. It provides measurement conversions and allows you to scale up a recipe, but it's really quantity-by-quantity. So for example, if you had a recipe that said it was 8 people, and used 3 lb. of chicken, 2 cups chicken stock, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 2 TBS of garlic, and you wanted to scale it up for 15 people, you'd store the conversion factor, but would then have to perform 4 separate calculations, one for each ingredient, and write each one down as you went. That's really what it does best. It will also convert, e.g. TBS's to cups, etc. Hope that helps. We may not be on the same page. The device doesn't actually store recipes.

Yes it should work automatically. Mine did, you may have gotten the wrong version or gotten a faulty one.

No it does not. Also you much add all recipes from an actual computer. it does not have the technology to search the internet for new recipes, even though it requires wireless internet.

No it doesn't. You have to manually log in and select the files to transfer/download. It can be somewhat cumbersome if you have many files.

I would back-up before. MasterCcook is so unreliable. I actually transferred my MC recipes to Cook'n which is now V11.3.8. Transfer was a bitch, not gonna lie to you. I have written MC many times and never received a response from any of the emails. Good luck but always back up

It is my understanding that upgrades are only for previous versions. I am fairly sure you can get an answer about this from the Filemaker site.

I don't know if it will automatically do that. I do it as a backup manually

I had the worst time doing just you want to do with Master Cook until I had to make a file of my own and start all over again in WORD. Was a sad day as I had so many but it forced me to weed out things I didn't need anymore. This website might help you but I really don't know - good luck!!! http://www.mycookbook.com/index.asp?UserName=

Yes. The app just has a few more features, like making the food, and a translator. You do NOT need the app.

If I understand your question, the answer is yes. It transfers everything on the original exactly as it is. I hope this helps.

No, it works independently. It has been a couple of years since I used it, but it worked fine to copy off all the patterns.
