RootsMagic 7 Now Runs on macOS11 (Big Sur)

 RootsMagic 7 Now Available for macOS 11 (Big Sur)

• Posted by Michael Booth
• December 18, 2020

We are pleased to announce that RootsMagic 7 is now available for Apple computers running macOS 11 Big Sur. When Big Sur was released last month, it made some changes that broke the wrapper that allowed RootsMagic to run on macOS. While users with previous version of macOS could still use RootsMagic, users who had upgraded to Big Sur found that RootsMagic (and many other software applications) stopped working.

After much work and testing, the wrapper for RootsMagic 7 has been updated to run on Big Sur, as well as prior versions of macOS.

Users who installed a previous version of RootsMagic 7 on their Mac should uninstall RootsMagic before installing the new wrapper. Full instructions are found here.

Those users that are installing RootsMagic 7 on their Mac for the first time may download it here.

RootsMagic 8

In addition to the updated wrapper for RootsMagic 7, we are hard at work finishing up RootsMagic 8.  Version 8 is a fully-native, 64-bit macOS application and runs great on macOS Big Sur. Keep watching for more news about RootsMagic 8.

RootsMagic for the Mac Catalina OS is Available

From the RootsMagic Blog post.

We are pleased to announce that RootsMagic 7 is now available for Apple computers running macOS 10.15 Catalina. When Catalina was released last October, it required all applications to be 64-bit applications. This, unfortunately, broke the wrapper that allowed RootsMagic to run on macOS. While users with previous version of macOS could still use RootsMagic, users who had upgraded to Catalina found that RootsMagic (and many other software applications) stopped working.

After much work and testing, the wrapper for RootsMagic 7 has been updated to 64-bit that allows it to run on Catalina, as well as prior versions of macOS.

Users who installed a previous version of RootsMagic 7 on their Mac should uninstall RootsMagic before installing the new wrapper. Full instructions are found here.

Those users that are installing RootsMagic 7 on their Mac for the first time may download it here.

RootsMagic 8

In addition to the updated wrapper for RootsMagic 7, we are hard at work finishing up RootsMagic 8.  Version 8 is a fully-native, 64-bit macOS application and runs great on macOS Catalina. Keep watching for more news about RootsMagic 8.

Limited Time: RootsMagic users save 50% off MyHeritage

If you've ever clicked one of the little light bulbs next to the name of someone in your RootsMagic file, you are familiar with the wonderful world of WebHints.  With WebHints, RootsMagic can automatically search your favorite genealogy record sites including MyHeritage, Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Findmypast. Get 50% off the MyHeritage Data subscription If you aren't already familiar with MyHeritage, they offer some amazing tools and record collections which can help you overcome genealogical brick walls. And MyHeritage is currently offering RootsMagic users a 50% discount on their data subscription*. But this limited-time offer expires Sunday, September 22, 2019. People ask me all the time if a particular site is worth it. MyHeritage has billions of historical records, vital records from 48 countries, millions of newspapers going back to 1803, and much more!  They even have a huge collection of US yearbooks that I found my mom's 7th grade picture in (from 75 years ago)!  But since everyone's ancestors are different, I always say that the only way to decide if a site is worth it is to see if it has information that is useful to you personally. If you are using RootsMagic 7 but haven't tried the WebHints, click the little light bulb on some of your family members that you might not have done as much research on, and check out the MyHeritage hints.  If they look useful, you can click here to take advantage of the discount. Remember, this special offer expires on September 22, 2019. The Data plan gives you full access to all historical records on MyHeritage, including: 10 billion international historical records: birth, marriage, death, military, immigration, and census records Automatic Record Matches to your family tree Record Detective™ finds new records that are related to the records you are viewing Photo Discoveries™ reveal photos of your ancestors automatically Vital records from 48 countries Millions of historical newspapers dating back to 1803 New yearbook collections from the U.S. Exclusive collections available only on MyHeritage One billion records added on average every year Priority customer support via phone and email 24/7
