Deleting "Backups" and stopping snapshots
about mac in mavericks is showing me that i have a 75 GB "Backup" on my computer which has basically caused me to have to move all my data off the laptop to my desktop machine.
i would like to get rid of this file and was told this would happen when i connect it physically to the Time Machine backup device (i have a time capsule). i was not able to get this to work.
1. does anyone know how to get rid of this file?
2. does anyone know if the terminal command listed at the bottom of this technical article is safe to use to stop these backups from being created?
i have a mid-2009 MBP running mavericks and i backup to a Time Capsule as well as to two external drives.
TIA
hi tony.
i know i have a tech article here somewhere that i am going to read on snapshots but what is the function here? if i travel i can get into terminal and turn this feature on - assuming i have a lot of hard drive space or if i won't be gone for an extremely long time - and it will, well i guess it basically will store a Time Machine set of backups on my hard drive?
i mean, the purpose is so that i can somehow access these backups when i plug back into my Time Capsule again or if i wanted to i could access these while traveling away from my Time Capsule?
i mean, i travel with a HD backup of my computer and keep it in a separate bag and presumably this gives me incremental backups whereas using my HD to backup to only happens when i decide to do it manually...?

The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:

Using iTunes on your computer, open Preferences (under the leftmost item in iTunes menu). Choose "Devices" on top. Find your backup listed there, highlight it, and select "Delete Backup".

I have 3 songs that will not download and the volume of error messages from Itunes about these "3" is annoying. I know my way around Itunes but cannot find a way to delete them and stop these Itunes download error messages.
Thank you.Thanks Mohammad - much appreciated.
I also got a response from Apple who said that there was a problem related to fonts and the encryption.xml file
Once we'd removed this we were able to upload the epub no problem.
It's odd that the system seems to say that all is okay when it isn't. We have to rely on guesswork rather a lot using iBook Producer.
Anyway, all sorted now and thank you again for your contribution.
Best wishes and a Happy New Year!

How do I delete the current backup file of iphone in itunes?
(This is a really old thread, but I'm answering anyhow because I see 11 "I have this question too!" )
If you go to the iTunes Preferences menu, there should be a "Devices" tab. In the Devices section, you'll see a list of all of your devices' backups and you can delete the problematic one.
If you don't see the backup, see the section "Where Your Backups Are Stored" on this support page: Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support -
Every time a box pops up in any kind of site where I have to fill in a user name or password, Firefox tries to prompt me w/ old email address and emails. I don't want that to happen and don't want those email shown...how do I delete those and keep that from happening?
Hi Irene,
You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this adware. Be very careful what you agree to install.<br>
Adware gets on your computer after you have installed a freeware software (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators) that had bundled into their installation this browser hijacker.
You can use the below steps to revert back to adware-less Firefox.
1) <u>Reset Prefs</u>
*Navigate to '''about:config''' in your Address Bar
*Press the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button to proceed
*Search for <b>trovi</b> and reset all prefs that pull up by right clicking > Reset
2) Remove any programs that you don't recognize or remember installing from your Control Panel (Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program)
3) Remove any extensions that you don't recognize or remember installing from Firefox.
*<b>Firefox 29 and above:</b>(Press the menu button ([[Image:new fx menu]] > Add-ons > Extensions)
*<b>Firefox 28 and below:</b>[[Image:Firefox Button]]> Add-ons > Extensions)
4) Download ADW Cleaner to wipe out any remnants of the adware.

Time machine - possible to recover deleted backup files that have yet to be overwritten?
I recently had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall my OS after my MacBook Pro failed to start. I managed to restore all my files from a Time Machine backup on an external HD after installing OS Yosemite.
After my computer is up and running again, I switched on Time Machine again, which started deleting my older backup files to make room for a new backup. Before I know it, it has deleted all my backup files except for the latest one, the one which I used to restore my computer.
Then Time Machine discovered that it still would not have enough room for the new backup and stopped. So I don't think anything new has been written to my external HD yet. Given that Time Machine may not have overwritten the old backup images (fingers-crossed), is there any possibility that I could recover those? If so, how do I do it?
The old data backup is extremely important for me. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.I recently had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall my OS after my MacBook Pro failed to start.

The drive died and it was replaced in my macbook. They put Tiger on it which was what came with it. I then installed Snow Leopard so that I could get to my time machine backups. It upgraded the system and created my user account. I plugged in my time machine drive and was asked if I wanted to use this as my time machine backup. I answered yes. All the old backups that I wanted to restore from were deleted! I assume there is no way to get them back. I have all of my data backed up (thanks to Carbonite) I know when I have gone from a computer that already had Leopard or Snow Leopard when you first start up it asks about retrieving a back up from Time Machine. Doing the upgrade this way didn't. Maybe a suggestion to Apple would be to prompt the user that the drive has existing time machine backups on them would be a good idea? So I assume I can't recover those deleted backups and have to install all the apps from scratch.

No, it didn't. Not then, anyway, unless the drive was corrupted and the message included a warning about +*Reformat required.+*
You have a new internal HD, and Time Machine knows that (even if it's name is the same as the old one). Use the procedure in #E3 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum, to see if the backups from before the internal HD failed are still there.
If they are, start over. As Thomas says, restore your entire system, per #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum. -

I keep getting a MSG that my device has not been backed up. Going thru manage iCloud I see ther are two backs (one for cell and iPad). They both say "incomplete ". If I delete them cloud backups will stop and I assume I will need to go back to the control.
Has anyone else experienced this?After deleting the backups, go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure iCloud Backup is set to On (if not, turn it on).
-
I want to reinstall an app fresh install from iTunes not from my iCloud, I go to manage storage I stop backup and delete app by turning green button off, but when I ask to download it again from iTunes it is only downloading it from my iCloud.
Please assist
ThxYou don't really delete app that way, that way to stop backup for that app in icloud.
You need to delete it from your home screen and then while it still will look like download from icloud - app will start fresh.
However if app uses any account sign in the stuff that is attached to sign in will come back, so if you do not want to you need to use
fresh account as well. -
I have moved old Back Up files from my external hard drive to the trash and as the Trash previews the files, i.e. counts them (over 850,000 files) it then begins to delete but then stops. Is it possible to move the files out of the Trash file and then only delete a small amount at one time?
See
Deleting backups via the Finder on Lion 10.7.x or later:
http://pondini.org/TM/12.html
Hold option (alt) while emptying the Trash.

Time Machine deleted my old backups and crapped out midstream
I had just gotten my failing hard drive replaced, and restored from Time Machine backup. So far so good.
So a week later, I wanted to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but figured I should be responsible and run Time Machine backup again before doing the upgrade just in case something goes wrong.
The Mac has a 4TB drive, which has 2TB free. The backup drive is a 4TB external drive, which has (or had) Time Machine backups going back two years or so. It still had over a TB of space left. I clicked on Backup Now and let it run overnight. I noticed it said "Deleting old backup to make room" or something like that, which I thought was normal.
I woke up in the morning to find that Time Machine had crapped out in the middle, and said that it couldn't complete. I realized that it had deleted all my old backups. It didn't need to do that, since the only files that had changed would have been less than a GB, and it had over a TB of space to work with.
It must have thought that everything on the drive had changed since the last backup, and it wanted to backup the entire drive. As such it tried deleting all my old backups! But it failed, and stopped in the middle.
Now I have a drive that still says there is only 1.2 TB of space on the drive, but I can't see the files! Even with Tinkertool, I can't see anything beyond the one most recent backup.
Can these files be recovered? I am totally ticked that there isn't some kind of confirmation like "Are you sure you want to delete X?"
I actually need to have some of these older backups, as they include files that had been deleted before the latest backup that I may need to retrieve. Any hard drive experts out there? Any terminal commands that can make these files accessible, even if I have to retrieve them manually?To clarify, this all happened under Snow Leopard as I had said. My profile lists Tiger, since I haven't cared to update my personal profile since using that OS, and in fact I still use Tiger among other versions. I manage a lot of users. And I never got to upgrade to Mountain Lion on this system, as explained in the post above. So I don't see the confusion.
I don't think the model of Mac makes a difference for this type of problem, but in case it does, the incident was on a 2010 Intel iMac with a 4TB hard drive and 8GB of RAM. I would have mentioned that if this was a problem with hardware specific to the model of Mac. But this is more of a universal issue.
But to stay on topic, I'm guessing my old backups are toast. But if anybody has any experience with recovering from Time Machine deleting their old backups, I would be happy to hear from them. In the meantime, I am going to try to do some old fashioned file recovery, and see what I can salvage. -
Can't delete obsolete and expired backups.
Every Sundays I create 0 level backup.
Every Thuesdays I create 1 level comulative backup.
Every other days I create 1 level incremental backup.
Sometimes I need a free space for new backups and I try clean old backups.
As I can understand, rman remove backups from 'list backup', but doens't delete physically from disk storage.

Edited by: 848540 on 31.10.2011 23:15I try to ask one more time.
I make all backups in the folder \u06\backup.
I make full backups every week.
After command "crosscheck backup" all backups older 2 weeks must be mark as "OBSOLETE". This operation works correctly, becouse in "list backup" i look all backups for last two weeks and no older (for today they all made earlyer then 06/11/2011)!
After crosscheck operation i try to delete old backups from HDD.
RMAN> delete expired backup;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=2 device type=DISK
specification does not match any backup in the repository
RMAN> delete obsolete;
RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to recovery window of 3 days
using channel ORA_DISK_1
no obsolete backups found
But after this operation I look in my backup folder files since 02/10/2011. How to sync backups (delete obsolete backups from HDD) in rman list (command 'list backup') and in operation system list (command 'ls' in sun10)?

My phone some how deleted not all but most of my contacts and then backup to the iCloud can I go back to a previous backup and retrieve the contacts. If so how.
Hi Shero89,
Thanks for the answer. I am not new to IOS software but I don't really ever bother with it, have discovered how little I take advantage of the i-phones capability, in reality I still only really use it to phone, text, check emails, listen to music and look on internet. I'm not keen on jailbreaking it as I don't trust it to work so normally just update and leave it at that. Only reason I wanted to downgrade was because the update had stopped my bluetooth working but Kilted Tim solved that problem for me so am now not interested in downgrading software. I quite liked the things that IOS 5.1 gave me but wasn't happy with fact that bluetooth stopped working in car as it caused me problems. One day I might try and work out exactly what I-phones can do but on the basis that it's a phone all I really want it to do is phone, if that bit works I'm happy.
