My time capsule is full. How can I delete older info?

You can enter the Time Machine restore interface and find files that can be removed from the backup disk itself to conserve space. To do this, select the file(s) and from the Action pop-up menu (gear icon) in the Time Machine Finder window choose "Delete All Backups of...". Be sure to only delete files you are sure you won't need or want to restore later.

itunes shows 1800 pictures but my phone only shows 548 and my icloud is full how can i delete pictures i cant see

i saw this under the summary tab in itunes. when you hover over photos at the bottom it shows how many pictures. i don't have it set to sync pics off of my computer files to the phone which is over 6,000 which it said when i clicked on sync photos from but i didn't sync. My phone shows 1.4GB on my camera roll while itunes, under the summary tab of my iphone shows 2.89GB.
i just read this morning to delete photos from the stream which removes them from the cloud and all synced devices. this is why i get confused because i read that on apple.com as well.

External HD connected to Time Capsule via USB, how can I back up this drive to Time Capsule?

I have my itunes media all on an external drive connected directly to Time Capsule via USB.
I plan to share this external drive over the network to share my media, but how can I back up this drive to the Time Capsule?

how can I back up this drive to the Time Capsule?
You will have to do this manually using the Finder, or try a commercial application like Chronosync or Carbon Copy Cloner which might be able to backup a network drive to another network drive. Check with their support folks first before you buy.
If you could connect the external drive directly to a Mac, Time Machine would backup both the Mac and the external hard drive (assuming that the external is formatted correcly to work with Time Machine).

My time capsule is full, how do i backup to an external drive

My backups cannot be completed to time capsule because there is no longer enough available free space. How can I use my USB external HD to move stuff off of time capsule and start fresh?

You could use attach a larger USB drive to the Time Capsule and use AirPort Utility's "archive" function to copy the contents of the disk. But there are a few more important things to consider. First, under normal conditions Time Machine should delete old backups to make room for newer backups. If that's not happening in your case, it could be that for some reason Time Machine is wanting to back up your entire drive. See items C4, D3, and D4 if this Web page. Second, are you putting anything else on the Time Capsule disk besides Time Machine backups? If so, that's not a good idea.

My macbook memory is nearly full, how can I export older photos to an external hard drive, and then delete to free up some memory?

I do not want to move whole iphoto library to an external hard drive as this will be a bit of a pain. I just want to moves older photos out of my iphoto library, and save them on an external hard drive to save for the future. I have heard that if you copy and move/paste from iphoto then it only copies a small version of the file, not the original full sized version. I would not want to lose any quality of the pictures I have currenty saved.
I would appreciate if anyone could advise what is the best possible way of doing this. I am very nervous about not being able to use my photos in the future due to file size, or even worse, losing them.
many thanks,

In iPhoto, Select All the Photos you want to move... Then goto > File > Export >
Choose the settings as seen here
Click Export and select your External Drive
Best to create a Folder to put them in... and away you go...

Time Machine Disk Full but won't delete older backups?

My Time Machine has worked since day one. And when my 1TB disk gets full, it deletes the older backups and makes room for new ones.
However, since last week, it tells me there is an error, the disk is full, and I need to make room for XXXX amount of gigs before the back up can be completed.
Why is this happening now?

How can I delete older apple ID on app store?

I have bought a second-hand macbook pro, the old owner removed his account and created a new one for me. I did a clean new install of OS and added my appl ID, but app store doesn' allow to update apps. when it asks to insert my ID the space for the username is already filled with older owner's ID and there's no way to modify it.
this is the situation
thanks for helpers, sorry for my bad english!

iWork has never come preinstalled on Macs. New Macs bought after 1 OCT 2013 qualify for a free download of the iWork apps.
Macs have come with iLife for free for years. The iLife apps that came on that Mac were on a DVD if it is an older Mac that came with OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard and the original owner was supposed to give you the Install DVDs that came with the Mac. Or if it is a newer Mac that came with OS X Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks, they iLife apps were Mac App Store versions and they are registered to the original owner, so you can't update them.

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

On your Mac.......
Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
Click Erase Disk
On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
The operation will only take a few minutes.
Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs. Back up one Mac first, then back up the other. Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

My ATV is full, how can I move the contents to my Time Capsule?

My Apple TV is full (although some of its contents appear as other and I cannot see them). I have a MacBookPro and a Time Capsule. I back up my mac everyday, but what I want to do is to erase content from my ATV so I can download more in it. Is it possible to sync the content of the ATV directly to the time capsule? So I can have my library in the time capsule and don't get my mac's hard disk full either?
Thanks!
C.

You could use custom syncing to sync only unwatched videos, that would delete them from the ATV once they've been watched through to the end, but they would remain in the iTunes library. You could also move your iTunes library to your Time Capsule if you want to free up space on your MBP hard drive.
You would need to copy your library folder to the Time Capsule, then change the library location in iTunes preferences. Once you've confirmed everything is working properly, you can delete the files from your MBP. Regardless of where your library is located, it's a good idea to keep your files backed up to DVDs.

If you open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup, are you able to access the settings for the Time Capsule?
Or, does AirPort Utility scan for the Time Capsule and then not find it?

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 delete everything from my Time Capsule? Disk Utility only gives me the choices of First Aid and Restore.

How can I delete everything from my Time Capsule?
Disk Utility would be used for an internal hard drive on your Mac, or for a drive that was attached directly using USB or FireWire.
The Time Capsule is a network drive. Disk Utility cannot be used for this type of drive.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon
Click the Disks tab below the icon
Click Erase
The "Quick Erase" option will only take a minute or so. This would be fine if you plan to keep the Time Capsule yourself.
If you plan to sell the Time Capsule, you would want to use a more secure erase, like "Zero Out", which will likely take 4-6 hours or so since everything on the drive will be replaced with zeros.
