After update to Maverics, one can't delete older backups (on older OS) throu Time Machine

After i updated one of my three macs to Maverics, i've stumbeled apon a "problem".
One can' delete older backups, throu time mascine, that have been backuped using an elder OS (like Snow Leopard).
You can see its's there on the timeline, but you can't do anything with it.
There is of course a solution, and that is to format the time capsule. And do a whole new back up.But thats where my problem is.
As i mention, i do have thre macs. And the other two are still on Snow Leopard. But thats not the issue here.
The issue is that i dont want to start the prossess of backing up all three mascines... Again.
All i want to do is delete and older backup. Since i have 2 TB, use almost all space on the Time capsule, when i backup three macs. Aand thats why i need to delete older bacups manually every time on each indidual mac i have.
So i hope anyone maybe have a easier solution, then to formate the time capsule.
Anyone?

Update:
The "problem" is now solved. I went into Time machine again, and all of a sudden i could delete the old Snow Leopard backup.
I think maybe i was to eager and didn't wait long enough. This time i waitet for the backups to "load" up, and it did.
And then i could delete the old back up.
I feel a bit silly, but the "problem" is now solved. And thats the most important thing, is it?

  • Can I delete a whole disk folder from my Time Machine backup drive?

    I temporarily mounted a drive (let's call it "Mumble"), forgetting to exclude it from Time Machine's list of disks to ignore. I caught this oversight after Time Machine had done just one hourly backup, and Time Machine is no longer backing it up, i.e., there's no "Mumble" folder in Time Machine's recent time-stamped folders on the backup HD.
    I'd like to recover space on the backup HD by deleting the unwanted backup of "Mumble" files.
    Can I simply delete the "Mumble" folder from yesterday's Time Machine "2009-01-31-155458" folder on the backup HD?

    don't delete anything o the TM drive using finder. you can do this from TM interface. start TM. select your "Mumble" drive in the sidebar. click on the "gears' action button in finder's toolbar and choose 'delete all backups of..".

  • Why do i have more than one "Sites" cert after updateing and expired cert.Can i delete the expired cert?????

    Hi After getting the below message i updated my cert but now have 3 of the same certs? Can i delete the expired cert?????
    There is no valid SMTP Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate for the FQDN of SERVER.domainname.local. The existing certificate for that FQDN has expired. The continued use of that FQDN will cause mail flow problems. A new certificate that contains the
    FQDN of SERVER.domainname.local should be installed on this server as soon as possible. You can create a new certificate by using the New-ExchangeCertificate task.
    I used "Get-ExchangeCertificate | Select CertificateDomains,Thumbprint,Status,Services | fl"
    to see which cert was expired
    I used "Get-ExchangeCertificate –Thumbprint 91D4C277BE4DF5FA15FC76D936375B7766ABCC23 | New-ExchangeCertificate" to replace the expired cert
    I re-ran "Get-ExchangeCertificate | Select CertificateDomains,Thumbprint,Status,Services | fl"
    to see if it had worked
    but now i have two certs one expired the other not. Can i delete the expired cert?????

    Hi 
    Yes you can delete the expired certificate which are showing  as it is not functional anymore and they remain as stale entries 
    You can use  below command
    Remove-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint "specify the value "

  • Can't find "Delete all backups of this file " in Time Machine Actions

    I want to free up some space from Time Machine backups, but when I select the folders and go to "actions" the "Delete all backups of <this file>” command that others posters (here) refer to isn't in the Actions drop-down menu. I don't want to just drag them to Trash, but that's the only deletion option. Am I missing something?
    Brian

    Are you doing this via Time Machine, as detailed in #12 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions?
    If so, what options do you see?
    You might want to try the things in #E4 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.  

  • How do i delete iPhone backups on my Mac and Time Machine?

    I used to back my iPhone to a Mac which was then backed up to my time machine…..I have decided to start using iCloud to back up my iPhone 5 and have purchased a monthly data plan to compensate.

    navigate to iTunes > Preferences > Devices, and select your backup and click on the Delete Backup button. This will remove the backup files from your computer.

    Hi tania184,
    Have you contacted your email provider to make sure there are no problems on their end? If they say their email servers are working properly, check the outgoing and incoming mail servers entries on your iPhone to make sure both are entered correctly. Enter the outgoing mail server even if the account setup indicates that is optional.

  • I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?

    I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?

    Nope
    One needs to press the home and sleep / wake keys together for the phone to reset
    The other thing I could recommend
    Let the battery run out and the phone completely "die"
    It may take a day or two with it not being used
    Then plug it in to charge and see if there is any change in behavior
    If you cannot get this to work - you may need to bring it to an Apple store

    After updating my iPad I can't print or log onto iTunes    I was able to before

    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
    Or try this ...
    Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off.
    Or this ...
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I don't have very much space left on my iCloud backup. I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone?

    I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone? or does it just delete from iCloud? or does it just delete from the phone? Someone please help!

    You can delete the backup without any problem. Only the backup will be deleted from iCloud and nothing else will be deleted, so you can do it without worrying about losing data on iCloud or your devices

  • After updating IOS 7 i can't open Itunes Store on my Iphone anymore

    After updating IOS 7 i can't open Itunes Store anymore.

    Same issue here on iPhone 4 after upgrade to IOS7. When launching iTunes store the iPhone loads data for a few secs, but then the screen is completely empty: No movies, no music, no genius.... The all page is completely white ( orblack for movies).
    Tried all these tricks w/o success:
    - Log off and on again on iTunes account
    - Change system language
    - Disable all iCloud syncs
    - Disable all automated downloads from app store and iTunes store
    Interestingly, iTunes store works perfectly with same account on iPad 2 after updateto IOS 7
    Next I will try is to sync with MacBook.
    Anyone solved it already pls post !
