Re: iFamily for Mac V2.12.0 - 23 Nov 2020

Thanks Warwick For the last few years when I open iFamily I get the following error message: The File NEAL.FtkSql couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format." However, when I click on the "OK" button on the error mess...

Re: iFamily for Mac V2.12.0 - 23 Nov 2020

Hi Warwick

I'm currently running v 2.9.8 on a Mac running High Sierra (10.13.6).

Will everything work if I just download the update. Thought I'd ask as I wouldn't like to see many years of work disappear!

Re: NotesAdvice Error

I have to say it's not just a matter of fixing the wording that comes up for the pop-up message. The current problem means I can't edit for eg the Death Notes field at all, even when opening the whole Death Notes box.

I'm running 0SX 10.11.6 El Capitan on an early 2015 Macbook Air.

Re: NotesAdvice Error

Thanks Warwick. When is the next release due, and will it allow data to be input into the boxes?

NotesAdvice Error

Hi

Just recently when I try and add data to the Birth or Death notes boxes I get a pop-up message which just says "NotesAdvice". It prevents any data being put in those boxes. Can someone tell me how to get around this?

Re: Update for El Capitan

I'm having the same problem. Can't see or open my family tree file since I've upgraded to El Capitan, even though I have the latest release of iFamily. Many years work at stake here, getting in a bit of a panic too!

Re: How do I upgrade to the latest release?

I've just had to get a new Macbook Air running El Capitan, and now iFamily is not loading the data that I had on iFamily for Leopard on the old machine, even after updating to the latest version. I do however have two Royal family trees, but not 10 years of my own work.

Re: File is Missing!

OK, crisis averted. It looks like the files are still there, but have to be accessed first through Finder. After that, they appear automatically when you open iFamily app. Whew!

File is Missing!

I just cleared the Safari cache to try and get rid of some freezing problems I was having, and now my family tree has disappeared! Given it represents about 10 years work, I'd like to get it back. The only file that is available is the "Royal" tree. I did do a backup a few months ago but I'd like to...

I'm trying to connect two existing people as father and son, but when I do I get an error message saying that there is a Recursion between the two parties. Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?

Re: Different colour font?

Thanks Nigel, I'll probably go with that too. iFamily does tend to like things definitive (no question marks allowed, or approximate dates allowed!)

Different colour font?

Hi

Is it possible to have a different coloured font for people who MAY be part of your family tree but whose bona fides need more careful examination?

Re: Problem opening iFamily Database

Hi Warwick

Just wondered if you had any thoughts about this problem, which still persists after many OSX upgrades, new laptops and the passing of over two years!

I forgot to ad that I backed up the file but even with the new file name I still get the error message, although both original and backed up file then go on to open as normal- it just gives me a heart attack every time I see that error message!

Thanks Phil, I'll try that but to me it looks like Snow Leopard is having a problem initially identifying the file extension, which won't change with a change of file name.

Problem opening iFamily Database

In the last couple of days I have started to get the following error message when opening iFamily: "The File "NEAL.FtkSql" couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format" iFamily then goes on to open as normal, but I'm worried that something might be seriously amiss. It has only seemed to...
