    3. Unfortunately, you have no choice but to re upload your file to get it synced with your file on the new computer. FTM 2014 implemented a method which allows the user to relink to a AMT by restoring the file from a FTM 2014 backup. This feature is not available under FTM 2012. Here is what you need to do. 1. Go to the existing AMT online. 2. Next to the tree name in the upper left corner, you will see "Tree pages" Click the down arrow next to it. 3. Click on "Tree settings" 4. The "Tree Settings" window will open. 5. Look on the list of activities on the right side. 6. There you can Delete the online tree. 7. Click that and follow the directions. Now you can open FTM 2012 and upload your file using the same name. If you had anyone invited to your old tree, you will need to re invite them to the new tree.
