The problem with the Hints has nothing to do with the server. MyHeritage had an API (programming code) change on their side which caused us to have to make a code change on our side. The Legacy download IS housed on the broken server so we parked a copy on the Amazon server that houses the Legacy

If the problem was just the Legacy Cloud backup, that would be understandable, but, from the many comments to the contrary, both from beta testers posting here and users, the whole Legacy program was affected, and version 9 could not be downloaded! We were advised that many of the problems with

Answered. On deleting (under Options) from the wrong person’s Story cache, Legacy helpfully presents this dialogue - [cid:image002.jpg@01D51AC4.4679B070] Choosing Remove Story from this person allows it to remain in the Story cache of others (in my case, just one). Perhaps the Legacy HELP

Ooooh! That sounds neat and usable. Did not know that you could drag and drop BETWEEN family files. This work around might be my best way until Legacy adds the feature. Many thanks Dave ! From: LegacyUserGroup On Behalf Of Dave Naylor Sent: Monday, June 3, 2019 2:03 PM To: Legacy

Apparently the sky is falling. Of course, the banks, doctor’s office, etc. store critical data on their server(s) - therefore they must have a fail safe system. A server that houses among other things FREE cloud back-up is far from being a critical system. Ronald Bernier Woonsocket, RI USA

You are 100% correct. Imagine if the servers at your bank, doctor's office, hospital, amazon, Google, ad infinitum, were out this long! Something else is going on here. Maintaining servers is a 24 hour duty. If MyHeritage had no total image backup, Legacy made a potentially lethal mistake.

[LegacyUG] Family File Freezing When Adding Photos

I've recently moved a family file, including the media files, to OneDrive for the ability to use both my laptops and share via email with other family members. Now when attempting to add additional jpg photos Legacy totally freezes. It works perfectly until I add new media. I have gone through

And also be aware that the current Legacy cloud backup system is broken, following a server failure about 3 weeks ago. Millennia (Legacy) and My Heritage have built a new server and currently configuring it. Don't ask me why it is taking so long. Most companies who lose a server will get it

Re: [LegacyUG] Anyone know of a quick way to duplicate an individual?

One trick I used many Legacy versions ago to duplicate a few different individuals probably still works but it may be more complicated than you wish. First, as with all experimentation, make sure you have a good backup of your files. Open a new *empty* Legacy file -- I named mine "empty.fdb" Then

Cloud Backup is free. Note that this is not a full service backup however, Only your data file is included and there is only one copy held. It is strongly recommended that you consider this an extra backup not your only one. If you have media linked to your file you will certainly need to back

[LegacyUG] Move a Story from one person to another

2019-06-03 Thread Ian Thomas
I mistakenly attached a Story to the mother, and have shared it with her daughter – which is where it should be. Can I delete the Story from the mother – or will that remove it from both people? It is easy enough to copy/paste and re-type the subject/date, etc – but I am interested if deleting
