Tony,
Transferring your data from FTM to Legacy wouldn't change anything in FTM.
Transferring your data is straightforward or not depending on how you've
been using FTM and whether you've done a full sync with Ancestry which
includes your images.
From Legacy User Group on Facebook
Michele Simmons Lewis (Legacy Staff)
The last step includes a video :)
1) If you have a tree on Ancestry.com you will need to sync your FTM to
the tree and make sure that ALL of the media is downloaded to your hard
drive and that the media is linked and visible in FTM. You need FTM 2012
or 2014 to be able to do this.
2) Compact your file (TOOLS > COMPACT FILE, select Perform extended
analysis)
3) Create the gedcom. Leave the settings at the defaults.
4) Do not move or rename any media file or folder after you create the
gedcom. You can do that later but not now.
5) Make sure you are using the most current update to Legacy because
there are FTM fixes in it (FTM generates gedcoms that do not adhere to
the gedcom standards so Legacy has to compensate for that)
6) Import the gedcom into Legacy. Here is a step by step video that
Geoff made http://familytreewebinars.com/download.php?webinar_id=415

So you've got an FTM problem now?
Not using FTM I have no idea what you're talking about.

The other day I attempted the supposedly ‘piece-of-cake’ transfer FTM
to Legacy. I thought I did it right, but the next day I ran a search
on FTM and on the Results page,left side the Family Trees Category is
gone. Vanished ! Attempted a couple of things to no avail.
Any suggestions appreciated,
Tony M.
