FTM is the only program that directly links to the trees on Ancestry.com. You can upload any Gedcom to Ancestry.com but the only one that will synch with your database is FTM. There is a version of FTM for the Mac.

Although the collection on Ancestry.com is indisputably the best, its companion software, FTM, is also one of the most unintuitive and bug-ridden genealogy software available. They are releasing the new 2014 version for pre-order...only in the US at this time. Hopefully, it will fix some of the problems. The FTM version for the Mac will lag behind in time and features, as had always been the case. I have about a half dozen genealogy programs on my computer. Each has a feature that I like. The only feature that I like for FTM is that it syncs with Ancestry.com. There is no happy solution to this conundrum.
