Can i delete documents on my computer after back up to time capsule
I have installed the Time Capsule (correctly I think) but now I want to delete some information on my computer so it runs faster. How can I ensure that my documents and pictures are backed up to the Time Capsule so I am able to retrieve them later?
You might want to remember that Time Machine....if that is what you used to backup your Mac.....backs up the changes on your Mac.
If you delete a file on your Mac, at some point....Time Machine will delete the file as well.....you just do not know when this may occur.
Even if you decide that you want to gamble and think that it may take some time for Time Machine to get around to deleting the file from your backup on the Time Capsule, the only copy of the file that you have is now on the Time Capsule.
If the Time Capsule drive has a problem, you have no other copy or backup of the file, so you will lose the file.
So, I would only do what you ask about with files that I could afford to lose.
The whole idea about backups is that you have a copy of a file on one disk and a backup on another. If one drive...either your computer or the Time Capsule has a problem, at least you have the other copy of the file on the other drive.

I have a program that was backed up using Time Machine and I was wondering if I could delete the program from my Back Up history with out having to start a band new back up of every thing.
If the program is a self-contained application that was installed by dragging and dropping it into your Applications folder, then you can go to your applications folder and invoke Time Machine. Then go back in time until you see the first backup of the application, right-click it, and then choose the option to delete all backups of the item.

Can't delete primary zone in DNS after moving the server
Woe is me!
Our MacMini was hosted at a Colo site and working fine. No firewall in front of the machine, so we turned on the server firewall and only allowed mail, web, ftp, and a couple of other services. This worked great using our external public DNS wired to our domain names and public fixed IP address. Later, we got VPN up a running (the trick was to create a second, local IP address for the ethernet port), but this also required us to turn on the server's DNS to create a split-brained DNS server.
Everything was working swimmingly... and then we had a hard drive crash. Since we were thinking about moving the server onsite anyway (our POS system was accessed through the VPN, but it could be slow and made our tasting room dependent on Internet access in order to run the POS), we ordered Comcast business class internet with a fixed IP address.
We updated the external public DNS to the new public fixed ip. Rather than plug the mini directly to the Comcast router (which is in pass-through mode), we elected to put a AirPort Extreme in front of it, mainly so we could get all of the POS computers on the same local network without using the mini as a DHCP/NAT router. We created a DHCP reservation on the Extreme so that the mini had a fixed local IP address. We port forwarded everything we wanted to expose to the Internet. Email started to work again. However, web services and VPN are nada.
This being Snow Leopard Server and having spent literally hours debugging DNS issues when we first got the server, I knew it wouldn't be straightforward. And it hasn't been. Even changing the IP address of the server has been a chore.
We ran "sudo changeip <old IP address> <new IP address>".
Then we ran "sudo changeip -checkhostname" and received:
"$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
Primary address = 10.0.8.2 <new static internal IP address>
Current HostName = <servername>.<domainname>.com
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
dirserv:success = "success""
Oh no, the black pit of death.
Even though I tried to modify the machine record in the local DNS to reflect the new internal static IP address, Nada.
So, looking back on my previous research from Mr Hoffman and others, I stopped the DNS service, and I deleted the primary zone and reverse lookups in order to rebuild them from scratch. Except that no matter what I do, I can't delete the primary zone - it comes back like Dracula (even though the reverse zone and all of the zone records are gone). I tried rebuilding everything using the undeletable zone, but after a few services (saved each one separately), they would suddenly disappear.
I am leery of messing with the DNS files on the server as I don't want to hose up Server Admin (my command line skills are rudimentary and slow). I have so much installed on the machine now that I am concerned about someone saying "reinstall".
Help!
Related to this is that it is not clear to me in web services which IP address you should use for the sites. The internal IP? The public IP? I thought Apache cared about the external IP address. And I think Apache is hosed at the moment due to my DNS troubles anyway.
Thanks in advance!Morris Zwick wrote:
And does anyone know which IP you enter for your sites in the web service? The public static IP or the internal private static IP?
For the external DNS server I am sure you have already deduced that it should be the static IP issued you by Comcast and this will be forwarded by your router to your server.
For your internal DNS server you could use either the internal LAN IP, or the external IP although the later might be affected by your firewall so this you will need to test.
For the Web Server service in Server admin, if your only running a single website you could avoid the issue by just using the wildcard entry which will respond to any IP address, so this would be an empty host name and an IP address of *
In fact you don't have to specify an IP address you could just use the hostname, so it will listen to traffic arriving at your server addressed to any IP address and as long as the URL that was requested includes the hostname you define for the site it will get responded to. So if as an example you have two websites you want to serve
www.example.com
site2.example.com
then as long as both have the IP address for the site as an * (asterisk) then both should work as separate sites for traffic addressed to either the LAN or WAN IP address of the server.
You will still need to use two IP addresses on the server to enable VPN, you could use a USB Ethernet adapter for the second one. Port forwarding for VPN is not as simple as other traffic as VPN requires traffic different to the standard IP and UDP packets. Routers that support 'VPN Passthrough' are specifically designed to accomodate this but I don't know if the AirPort Extreme does this. I have also found PPTP copes better with this sort of setup than L2TP although PPTP is generally regarded as less secure. -
If I download photos to icloud, can I delete them from my computer without deleting them from icloud?
If I download photos to icloud,
Which MacOS X version do you use?
How are you planning to store photos in iCloud? There are many ways to use iCloud with photos, but none will save space on your Mac:
iCloud Drive: Any photo you store on iCloud Drive will also have a shadow copy on your Mac, so you cannot save space, see: iCloud Drive FAQ
My Photo Stream: Photos you upload to My Photo Stream from your Mac, are also stored on your Mac. And My Photo Stream is only a temporary storage for a month. You cannot keep the photos permanently in My Photo Stream, see: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud Photo Sharing: Shared Photo albums are also stored locally, and reduce the resolution of the photos: seeiCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
iCloud Photo Library (Beta): This is not yet available on a mac, but will be available, when the new Photos.app will be released. Right now you can use it from mobile iOS8 devices, iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ.Photos you store in iCloud from mobile devices can be accessed on your mac using the icloud web portal. You can however upload to iCloud Photo Library Beta from your mac using the Photos.app (Beta) on web interface at https://www.icloud.com -

how can i delete photos from my iphone after uploading in Iphoto even if i say not to keep on phone
Hello paolo@spring,
Just as photos that were taken more than 30 days ago remain on your MacBook Air, so will photos that are deleted from your iPhone.
Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.

TS1253 Once I save my photos to the airport time capsule; can I delete them from the computer drive?
Once my photos have been saved by the airport time capsule can I delete them from my computer hard drive.
Please think about this for a moment.
If you move your images to the Time Capsule...and delete them from your computer's hard drive......then, the only copy of the images that you will have will be on the Time Capsule.
So, now your "originals" are on the Time Capsule....since you deleted them from the computer's hard drive to create more space.
When...not if....the Time Capsule has a problem and you cannot access your images.......where will your backups of your images be? -
How can I delete apps from my computer?
How can I delete apps from my computer and subsequently have this filter to my ipad, iphones?
If you are syncing through iTunes to manage content on your iPad and iPhones (not using iCloud), you can "filter" what goes on each device in iTunes.
To do this, select the device in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Over to the right, go to the Apps tab. On that screen, select the apps you want on the device. Apply the change.
So each device can have a different set of apps, from your overall library in iTunes that has everything. There is no need to delete the app from your iTunes library in order for it to be delete from a device.
But if you DO want to delete an app from your iTunes library, select Apps in the iTunes sidebar (under LIBRARY). Over to the right, find and select the app you want to delete. Right (or Control) click on the app and select Delete. -
How can i delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?
How can I delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?
acapetown is the one who really solved this for me: his suggestion to create an empty folder and sync to that was THE ONLY solution that actually worked for my iphone 4s. Everything else about uncheckign "sync" and unchecking events DID NOT WORK. I think there is more than one glitch in this system because I noticed a lot of other people struggling with the question. Now my phone is light as a feather again and I can actually benefit from backup to the Cloud. Thanks acapetown!

After setting up the time capsule, and completing a full back up, I noticed my iphotos and music was not backup. I have all my documents and .jpg files but no music from Itunes or photos from iphoto? Do I need to set something else up?
Can I ask you how you know your photos and music are not backed up?
Open a Finder window to your Pictures folder (you should see your current iPhoto Library file). Go to the Time Machine icon in the menubar, then click Enter Time Machine to use the TM interface, and go back in time to a random point. Is the iPhoto Library file still there? If so, it's being backed up.
If not, is there any chance you've excluded those folders from TM preferences? Click Options on the TM system preference panel and see if you have exclusions.

Actually I have 2 problems: I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it. I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore. My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems. I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions? Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6? (currently 7.0.3).
Thanks,Try here:
