Nice meeting you Hanna
Could you tell me more about your issue?
I need to transfer data fom my family site into my family tree builder without having my family site overwritten by the obsolete data in the tree builder during synchronisation.
We are Howly - an online expert question and answer website that connects users with verified technical experts that can assist with any tech-related issue.
So can you explain to me how to do this
Could you tell me, what service are you using?
I am using My Heritage
I see.
What troubleshooting have you done so far?
I have done the instructions in the questions area. When I open the family tree it immediately starts to synchronise an d overwrite my data in the family site with the obsolete data in the family tree builder.
Please tell me where the constructor synchronizes the information from?
I have some old data in the family tree builder which I would like to replace with my new data in the family site
Did you try to change the data on site?
No I need the data in the family site
I see. You need renew your family data on this site. Am I right?
No I am happy with the data in the site. I want to transfer all these data to the family tree builder.
I see.
Let us follow the simple thing:
Open up Family Tree Builder and on the main toolbar click on the 'Sync' button to synchronize your tree with your family site. You can also click on 'Sync
Look Hanna. I have tried the sync thing before. What happened is that it overwrote all my good data in the site with the garbage data in the tree builder.
I see.
I need an answer to how to move the good data in the site to overwrite the garbage data in the tree builder
I understand.
You may not be able to edit your tree online because the tree was created in an older version of Family Tree Builder software
Ok do I need to upgrade the tree?
Of course. Please check if it is updated, if no, do it.
Do you need a help?
Lets try to upgrade the family tree builder.
So nice!:)
Now, as of version 8.0, Family Tree Builder syncs the tree with your family site and vice versa.
To download Family Tree Builder 8.0, please click here: https://www.myheritage.ro/family-tree-builder. Sync your tree with the site, and you will be able to edit it online. Changes made online will appear on your FTB software after the next sync.
I see I have version 8.0.0.8563
I see. Anyway, could you follow the link and try to update again?
For some reason it keeps on jumping back. Message it could not complete the download. I will try your link. Give me a few minutes.
Of course!:)
Keep me updated.
I have now removed the old version completely with all the garbage data and will download the one on the link.
Okay.
Thank you for helping me. I have removed the old version of family tree builder and installed the link you have sent to me. The new programme automatically retrieved the new data in my family site and both are now up to date! Your help is much appreciated.
I really glad to know, that it helped to you!:)
