HT3275 I've 1.85TB empty space on my time Machine, but it only backs up to the beginning of the previous month. it should have weekly back-ups for every month before that. Any ideas why it deletes stuff older than a month?
I've 1.85TB empty space on my Time Machine, but it only retains back-ups to the beginning of the previous month. I should be able to access weekly back-ups for every month before that until the disk is full. Any ideas why it deletes stuff older than a month?
Thanks, Rigby.
If you are using Ethernet to connect your Mac to the Time Capsule, are you allowing at least 2-3 minutes for Time Machine to fully load when you open the application to see your backups?
If you are using wireless to connect, you may need to allow 8-10 minutes or longer for everything to fully load, depending on the speed of your wireless connection.
If you see only white time "bars" on the timeline at the right of the screen, you are seeing temporary backups. Permanent backups are displayed with purple "bars".

Since I got the last update of itunes, my 3rd gen will sync new pieces of music but it won't sync a new playlist I created and it has "lost" one I had before. Any ideas why and what I can do to cure the problem?
if you have done restores then possibly it is a firmware issue... i would take it to the apple store if you can to get it looked at...

When I opened my email (ymail) there were over 30 failure notices for I never sent. Any ideas why?
Spammers have probably hacked your mail account. Change the password, to something much harder than it was before and see if it happens again. If it does then you may need to talk to the provider or take more aggressive action.
Usually they hack, send spam and move on. -
I ran out of space on my time machine because I bought a new I MAC to replace the old one. So I copied the old one on the new one and in addition to that I own a macbook. So what should I do erase the old IMAC on my Time capsule ? Shall I reset it?
Go to the airport utility and erase the TC disk.. a quick erase is fine and takes less than 1min usually.
A one pass erase takes several hours depending on how big the hard disk is.. but is somewhat safer in that it tests the drive condition. I normally don't bother for a TM backup.
When you start over you should be able to fit both backups on the TC.. assuming the disk is 2x larger at least than the space used on both the MB and the iMac.
If not you can also add a USB drive to the TC, and use that for one of the computers.
The slowest one is best.. as USB is slow.. but fast enough for wireless you won't notice much. -
I bought an external hard drive for backups to use with Time Machine, but however when I try to connect it with the other windows laptop it doesn't work ? intact it doesn't work on any other device except my MAC ?
Do not worry about it.
Time Machine needs that your external drive is formatted in HFS+, or better known as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". This filesystem is used by Apple on Macs and Windows cannot read or write drives formatted with this filesystem, being this the reason why all your devices do not read the external drive except your Mac.
You can only use your external drive to make Time Machine drives. If you store anything different, you may damage the Time Machine structure, so it is better not to use it as a drive to store other data. Instead, get another external drive to do it or create a second partition on the external drive formatted in FAT32 by using Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html FAT32 can be read by Windows PCs -
Whenever i click the link for a great app i found, to go to the app-store, the app store reply is " could not complete your request" this happen for every app link that i persue! Need help
Try signing out of your account and then sign back in and see if that helps.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try again. -
Deleting backups older than a month
Hi all,
I'm trying to delete backups that are older than a month. I've performed the following steps.
1. Click on time machine
2. Navigate to a month ago
3. Navigate to "Macintosh HD" and select all items
4. Click on the gears the "Delete all backups .."
This delete all backups, even my current ones. How can I delete just "old" versions from a snapshot in time (say x) back to the beginning of backups and keep everything with time > x?
Thanks,
Todd+That won't screw up the database will it?+
Probably. Time Machine uses hard links to keep track of its previously backed up files. You can read how Time Machine uses hard links in this Ars Technica review.
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14
To make sure you keep the hard links intact launch the Time Machine browser from the dock. Click on your hard drive in the sidebar. Don't select any folders or files in the window. Use the white ladder lines on the right to navigate to the backup you wish to delete. Click on the button with the gear and select Delete Backup. -
I have erased and restored my 24 inch Intel iMac. I have upgraded to the last version of X os. My system is running WAY slower than it was before. Even opening windows seems to lag and the spinning wheel come up for everything. Every task is slow, even typing this! lol
Here are my specs:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac8,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: IM81.00C1.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.30f1
Any ideas would be helpful. Is this a hardware issue?
Thanks!Matt:
Thanks for the update. It is good to know that the maintenance procedures helped. Regular maintenance and a good backup are key to computer security. Gulliver's article has a suggested schedule. Dr. Smoke's FAQ on Backup and Recovery has excellent information and advice. I part company with him on his insistence on Retrospect, which I have found to be difficult to use. SuperDuper has been shown the best backup software in these tests.
If you usually leave your computer on or asleep, it is good practice to shut down and start up in Safe Mode occausionally. I do it about once weekly.
Good luck.

Any ideas what may have caused it?
Thank you again....Not having a clue what WEP is, I've done a little research. I have a BT Home Hub 3 which apparently by default uses WPA. BT have suggested I turn my hub off for 24 hours for them to monitor. However on returning home my February usage has gone back down again to it's average usage, so I think it's unlikely we'll learn a great deal. I am convinced the huge peak was caused somehow by my limited use of the ipad whilst we were abroad. I've been trying to get to the bottom of it, so that it doesn't happen again next time we go abroad.
For interest the ipad doesn't have we fi plus cellular.
The new BT Home Hub uses WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption by default to protect the data that moves across the radio waves from it to other wireless devices. Many wireless devices sold today offer this more secure method of protection. WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy) is an older, less secure way of protecting such data. The BT Home Hub and BT Home Hub 1.5 both use WEP encryption by default since some older wireless devices are not compatible with stronger encryption types, such as WPA. -

Mac Mail deleting mail older than 1 month old
Mac Mail is deleting mail, from my Inbox, after 1 month old. I can't find the settings for deletion or archiving. I have not selected archiving either. Any ideas?
ThanksHello Steve:
I think you misunderstood my post. I was not talking about the delete trash setting in Apple's Mail application. Many (most?) E-mail providers have settings in their applications to automatically delete mail. This has nothing to do with Apple's mail application. I know nothing about Mobile Me or Mac mail, but what I was suggesting was that those might have a setting someplace.
Apple's mail application did not, on its own, to delete mail. There is no setting in that application that I am aware of that would cause that to happen.

Delete emails older than 3 months sent to a distribution group
Hi,
Have a strange request hopefully someone can help me with.
We have Exchange 2010 on site. There are a large number of casual staff who are only at work for a few months of the years, then are away for a long period. These staff are still receiving all of the Everybody emails that are sent out, causing their mailboxes
to fill up and stop receiving emails.
I have tried the usual searches and have found solutions for deleting email with specific titles and for specific dates; but I cannot find any information on being able to delete based on the 'To' field of an email.
My query is -
Is there a way to delete emails from all mailboxes in an organisation that have been sent to a specific distribution group that are over three months old?
All help is always gratefully received.
Thanks,
Peter D.Hi,
I have found a solution to this issue.
Am posting it for when i need it later, or if it helps anyone else.
Using Powershell, i use the following code to be able to search using the To field, which in this case is the name of the distribution group.
#Add Exchange 2010 snapin if not already loaded
if (!(Get-PSSnapin | where {$_.Name -eq "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010"}))
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
get-Mailbox | search-mailbox -searchquery to:"DistributionGroup" -DeleteContent
Now just to add the date variable... -
The email adresse that I used to create my Apple ID isn't good anymore. When I tried to use my new email, I have a message in my iphone saying that this apple id can't be use for Mobile Me. I use this email for some Apple training at my job.

I found the above link helpful! Apparently the @me.com is a separate "apple id" ...pretty stupid - the whole reason I got the @me.com e-mail is I thought I would streamline everything into one....

Richtextbox tools bar menu is not display for Firefox and chrome. Any idea why this is happening?
Hello,
I have added RichTextField in custom webpart. I have added tag like below
<SharePoint:InputFormTextBox ID="RichTextField1" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" RichTextMode="FullHtml" Columns="20" Rows="10" RichText="true" />
We are able to see Richtextbox tools bar menu in IE browser but it's not working for other browser like chrome and Firefox.
Can anyone suggest us why this is happening?
Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks,
Lovkesh PatelHi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the richtextbox tool bar menu not display in non_IE browser.
The richtext box not supported in Non-IE browser, it leads to the issue.
Here are some similar thread for your reference:
