macOS Tahoe Compatibility for Family Tree Maker

On September 15, 2025, Apple released the macOS Tahoe upgrade (version 26).  We've outlined below the different editions of Family Tree Maker and their compatibility status:

  • FTM 2024 (25.0) - Compatible with issues
    You’re all set if FTM 2024 is already installed.  A new free update, compatible with macOS 26, is currently being prepared.
     
  • FTM 2019 (24.2.3) - Compatible with issues
    You’re all set if FTM 2019 is already installed.  A new free update, compatible with macOS 26, is currently being prepared.
     
  • FTM 2017 (23.3) - Compatible with issues
    The installation cannot be completed successfully.  Export to FTM 3.1 format doesn't work, and only trees in FTM Mac 23.3 format can be opened.  Evaluation is currently underway for a possible patch.
     
  • FTM Mac 3.1 - Compatible with Issues
    The installation cannot be completed successfully.  Export doesn't work, and only trees in FTM Mac 3.1 format can be opened.  No patches are planned.
