You have three options

If you don't have media in your FTM 2011 file,simply make a GEDCOM and then open it in FTM3

OR

If you have media then you will have to download the File Migration Utility http://help.ancestry.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5313/kw/fil...

and convert the file

OR

get someone to convert your file from 2011 with FTM 2014 and then do a File>Backup

The .FTMB file produced from FTM 2014 can be directly opened (restored) in FTM3
