Carol, I cannot answer your questions but Tony is correct, FTM requires an OS whether it be for Windows or MAC. Perhaps you are confused with the Ancestry APP? In reference to your comment regarding FTM 2012, while the sync feature is the main new feature for this upgrade, I would like to make it clear that ONLY the user elects to Sync a tree so you can certainly use FTM 2012 without syncing to Ancestry and benefit from the other new features and any performance enhancements.

To purchase FTM Mac thru iTunes is $109.00. I already own a copy of FTM Mac but.. 1. How does one use the FTM Mac product on the iPad without it impacting Win7 FTM 2. Does the version of FTM Mac thru iTunes have a special app built in that allows transfer thru to iPad as I don't run a Mac at home. 3. What footprint is needed on the iPad 4. Will the migration tool for FTM windows work well enough to get my data and media on the iPad if I can use the Mac FTM on iPad 5. Does anyone know if FTM are going to bring out an app that will bring the data from a Win pc to iPad without re-purchasing full version of software. 6. I do NOT want to move to 2012 to synch to Ancestry as I do not keep my tree on Ancestry! Hoping someone can answer some of these questions. Regards Carol
