How can I delete a sparse bundle for an old machine from a Time Capsule?

I have multiple Macs backed up to a Time Capsule. I have given away one and want to delete the backup for the old system completely. Trying to move the sparse bundle for the named system to the trash seems to hang with the barber pole forever. Do I need to wait several hours for the delete to happen?

  • HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT  HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?

    I have a big problem.
    I want to delete an entire event from my library because everytime I select it imovie freezes and then close itself up. So I have to re-open imovie again. And when I want to select that particular event again the same problem occures. So I can not select that particular event. Therefore I can take NO action on this event.
    HOW CAN I DELETE AN EVENT WITHOUT HAVING TO SELECTING IT FROM THE LIBRARY?
    (Everytime I select it imovie closes itself up)
    All other events work fine. I believe The footage had a problem from capturing. but now it's in my computer and i can't open it.
    Please help me, I don't need this event, I can't open it therefore I can't use it and it takes place on my hardrive for nothing.
    Thank you

    One can delete it from one's computer. In the finder go to homeuser, movies, imovie events, delete the footage.
    Then reopen iMovie and see if that helps.

    How can I find my Mac Adress for the Ethernet Port from a Apple Airport Express Device ?

    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

    Each app server provides their own jndi factory class. For ex for weblogic it is weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory. SInce you are using sun app server, check if there are any examples to find out or the docs.
    private static String url="http://localhost:4848
    Since the client is in a different machine the localhost is not going to work here. provide the url or the machine name of the system in which ur sunapp server is running. In addition u will need to have the stubs of the remote interfaces in ur client machine.

  • Moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine

    moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine?

    You didn't really clarify much, just repeated the same question. First of all, Adobe is a company with many products.
    Are you talking about Adobe Acrobat? If so you need to deactivate it on the old machine and then use enter the serial-number (as described) when installing it on the new machine. It will then activate itself automatically over the internet. Just keep in mind that Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 8 and to make it compatible with Windows 7 you have to update it to at least version 9.2 after the installation.

  • I keep getting a 'Looking for backup disc' message from my  Time Capsule.

    I keep getting a 'Looking for backup disc' message from my  Time Capsule. I have set it up several times without any apparent problems (I have even done a Hard and Factory reset). Everything seems fine until I ask Timemachine to 'back up', and then the problems start.
    Any ideas?

    I had the exact same problem. I bought the Time Capsule this past July and it worked fine for about a month then it told me it hadn't backed up in 10 days and was stuck looking for the backup drive. I called Apple and they said the reason was that the Time Capsule was in Bridge mode. I launched Airport Utility and sure enough, it was. I changed it to DCHP and NAT (Airport Utility -> Network tab -> Router Mode). After updating the Time Capsule, I couldn't even get on the Internet, let alone do a backup. A logged into the software for my cable modem and discovered that it too was in Bridge mode.
    It turned out (for me) that neither should be in Bridge mode (which is for connecting two networks). Your cable modem only has one IP address. Your Time Capsule should be doing the NAT (Network Address Translation) which translates the internal IP addresses on your network to the one IP address your cable modem has. When I switched my Time Capsule to DHCP and NAT, it conflicted with the fact that the cable modem was also trying to do this. The answer was to turn this off on the modem (allowing all the packets to just go through the modem to the Time Capsule and let IT do the NAT). I did that last week and since then, my Time Capsule has been working perfectly.
    1) Go to your cable modem (via a browser, enter "http://192.168.100.1"). Log-in and find the setting that indicates NAT. If you're uncomfortable doing this or can't find it, call your cable company and ask Tech Support to do it for you. They can do it remotely.
    2) Launch Airport Utilty. Go to the Network Tab and change the router mode to "DHCP and NAT".
    3) You may need to restart your modem and Time Capsule. I can't remember if I had to or not.
    I hope this helps. I tried many things but this is the only solution that fixed it for me. And it makes sense. Only one device, the cable modem or the Time Capsule, can be doing the NAT.

  • How do I delete a sparse bundle in Time Machine?

    I backup two computers over a home wireless network to a Time Capsule. But there are three TM sparsebundles on the TC; one is from a computer that is long gone. I need to create space on the TC as I got an error message stating that; I have a new disk and TM is trying to create a new backup for that.
    I read the TM FAQs that are often cited in Discussions but I don't know what vintage those recommendations are; can someone give me an up-to-date proceedure for deleting the uneeded sparsebundle? It is 123 GB and my TC is 500 GB.
    Thansk;
    Bruce

    I tried this:
    If a sparse bundle is very large, and OSX says it will take many hours to delete it, there is a faster, but more tedious, way:
    •Cancel the deletion. 
    •Right-click the sparse bundle in the Finder and select Show Package Contents. 
    •Open the bands folder (it may take a while to show the contents).
    •Select a large number of bands (up to about 8000 at a time), and delete (trash) them.
    •When they’re all deleted, delete the sparse bundle.
    I got an error message:
    "This operation cannot be completed because df4 [one of the bands] is in use."
    Next step?

  • How can I delete a purchase (Mavericks) that has not downloaded from my account?

    How can I delete a purchse that has not yet downloaded (Mavericks) from my account? I contacted App Store support and my responder claims to have deleted Mavericks from myaccoount. He didn't; it is still there, under the purchases tab-in the cloud. Thank you.

    Hi Dah-veed
    Thanks for your response. But it doesn't make sense. Mavericks wouldn't download, and although I decided that I wasn't ready for it yet (incompatibility issues), I would like to be ale to get it (OSX) in the future, and if it shows as 'purchased', I won't be able to 'start over' fresh.

  • HT3275 How can I delete a backup of one of my computers from a shared time capsule?

    Hello,
    I have a Time Capsule which is used for backup with Time Capsule by two Macs.
    One of the Macs is currently offline and I want to delete it's backup manually from the Time Capsule.
    This operation takes very long and my impression is, it can not be completed.
    How can I delete the backup which is obsolete to free disk space on the Time Capsule?
    Kind Regards
    Ralph

    The fastest, simplest, and most reliable solution would be to erase the Time Capsule disk. That will only take a few minutes, but you will erase the backups of both Macs when you do this. If you don't mind starting over again on the "other" Mac, that would be the way to go.
    Few of us ever need the backups, especially backups from months and maybe years back, but I understand that it is not easy to think about erasing them and starting over with new backups.
    Deleting an individual backup will take a long time ....that is the way that it is.
    Things will go 4-5 times faster on average, and there will be much less of a chance of an error occurring if you connect the Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the process.
    Once the sparsebundle file has been deleted, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    I've done this a number of times with no problems. Basically, I setup the file to delete overnight and check the progress in the morning. In every case, the file has been completely deleted when I check.

  • How can I manually verify autodiscovery configuration for on premise environment from Lync 2013 desktop client?

    I have very limited access to an environment (basically just user access). I am documenting the Lync 2013 cilent for this environment. I was provisioned a limited SIP enabled account for testing. Autodiscovery from the Lync 2010 client works, but not from
    the 2013 client. I can connect (with some issues) from either 2010 client (autodiscovery) and 2013 client (manually configuring the server). So I want to verify if the Autodiscover is configured correctly to work with the 2013 client or not and if the reason
    it fails for me is due to something wrong with my account or if this will happen with other users?
    I have checked the lyncdiscoverinternal.domain.com and it resolves and is reachable. I can navigate to https :// lyncdiscoverinternal.domain.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root/domain and it returns the information I would think it should
    including hrefs to Internal/Autodiscover, Internal/AuthBroker, External/Autodiscover, External/AuthBroker, Internal/Mcx & External/Mcx as well as fqdns for SipClientExternalAccess, SipClientInternalAccess, SipServerExternalAccess & SipServerInternalAccess.
    The AuthBrokers urls return what I believe is the expected RemoteService Service pages. The Mcx urls return what I believe is the expected McxService2 Service pages. The SipClientInternalAccess & SipServerInternalAccess fqdns are both resolvable and
    reachable. The Autodiscover urls return hrefs for Domain and User. Those Domain urls return the same information as the initial root/domain url and the user url (which I believe is the one that is actually opened by lync during the autodiscover process) returns
    what I believe is an expected 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials page.
    If I explicitly configure the Lync 2013 client to use the fqdn listed for SipClientInternalAccess, the client will log me in. However on Automatic configuration, it fails to log me in.
    One other note is that when I watch with Wireshark, I observed that it is getting another internal server fqdn from somewhere. We'll just say that the SipClientInternalAccess fqdn is lyncABC.domain.internal. When looking at Wireshark and the DNS requests,
    I'm also seeing a lync2013ABC.domain.internal that does resolve and is reachable and can also be used as the explicitly listed server in the Lync 2013 client and it will log in. However, that fqdn is not listed in any of the root or domain url replies. So
    I'm not sure where it is coming from or how to check that.
    Is there any additional information anywhere that can tell me exactly what the behavior of the 2013 client is when trying to find the server to authenticate to and how I can reproduce any missing steps manually to determine what it is identifying as the
    login server (if any) since it is obviously not the trying the one listed as SipClientInternalAccess?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Hi Richard,
    To narrow down the issue, you could refer to the following steps first.
    1. Delete the Lync client 2013 user profile and registry key.
    User profile:
    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
    Registry Key:
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
    Certificate:
    a. Open Windows Certificate Manager. To do this, press Windows + R, type certmgr.msc, and then click OK.
    b. Expand Personal, and then expand Certificates.
    c. Look for a certificate that's issued by Communications Server and delete it.
    2. Upgrade Lync client to the latest update.
    3. Check the DNS records(A records and SRV records) again.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • How can i delete the icloud account on my old phone without deleting it on my new one.

    I now have an 5s and gave my mum my old 4s but when she deleted contact she didn't want,  it removed them off my phone.When I logged into my icloud on the PC the contacts had all gone from there too. Luckily they are on my daughters mac.
