Unfortunately that did not work. I transferred all 2300 media files from the FTM folder I have into ….\Legacy Family Tree\Media as you suggested. I then ran the Relinker tool but still get this message “There are no Media files in this family file.”
My FTM media is called “Latest Full Tree_Jul 15, 2008 Media” and it is off a folder called “Family Tree Maker” on my hard-drive. First I copied the “Latest Full Tree_Jul 15, 2008 Media” folder to Legacy Family Tree\Media and when that didn’t work I deleted the folder and copied just the 2300 media files. But I still get the message “There are no Media files in this family file.” This is the file structure I have after installing Legacy and importing my tree from FTM: You mentioned a more complicated method???

If you can copy your media files to that directory and then run Relinker -- Go to: 1. Tools > Media Relinker and run it. 2. After Media Linker has found all you media files, choose the Gather Tab and have it place a copy of the media files into that folder (this will insure that you have all your media files in the above folder). As a note, older versions of Family Tree Maker has their our database that they place the media files into. Unless you have kept copies of your picture files elsewhere, there may be a problem of finding those FTM picture files. Let me know if the Media Relinker worked. If not, a more complicated process may be necessary. ___ Leon Chapman chap...@gmail.com ----- On Wed, Jan 8, 2014 at 3:03 PM, Diane Marcotte <dianemarco...@bell.net> wrote: Hello, I just bought Legacy 8 and have found that my media files have not come across with the Gedcom file I made in FTM. Can someone explain how I can get the media files – I have over 2300 of them! Many thanks!!
