How to fix the Ancestry Media Sync Issue of your Family Tree Maker?

Solution 1.

Suppose you have added your media directly to your Ancestry tree on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. And after you synced. It may have caused proxies in your FTM tree for the items.

However, this did not happen when you added media to your FTM tree. This only affected the user-contributed media, unlike the source media, such as census images.

Other Ancestry source images are downloaded through different procedures that Ancestry says are unaffected. So if you have added your media to an Ancestry tree between Thursday & Saturday (causing you to end up with proxies in your FTM for those elements).

Delete those elements from the Ancestry tree. After that, you need to reattach them and then sync them.

Solution 2.

You may get a media sync error if you have missing media in your tree. Please find all the lost media and attach them to the existing person. Once you reattach all the missing media, you should process the sync.
