R&R 4 Does Not Delete Prior Back-Ups

TP T61p 6459 GTO, Win XP SP3 Fully, Fully Patched TV System Update computer
My R&R does not delete prior back-ups, I just get the hour glass over and over and over....
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

Hi,
just try to use the rrcmd.exe utility to delete the backups, that you want to.
In the Admin manual you can find the description, on how to do it.
Cheers

I recovered my back up via a wired connection. now Time Machine does not recognise older back ups wirelessly and wants to do a first back up

I recovered a back up from my time machine via a wired connection after getting the 'white screen of death'. Now Time Machine does not recognise any back ups on the time machine when connected wirelessly and wants to do a first back up of the whole machine. How do I get my mac to recognise these older back ups? It connects to the wifi network the time machine creates fine, with the same name and password.

I recommend the following.
1. Reset the TC to factory.
Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
Note..
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
2. Rename the TC to SMB standard.
That means short names.. 2-20 characters but less than 10 is excellent. eg TCGenx (use number for x that is actual generation of the TC)
No spaces.
Pure alphanumeric. No apostrophe.
3. Ensure IPv6 is set to link-local..
Do the same thing for ethernet if that is used.
4. Manually mount the TC disk in Finder.
Use Go in the top menu.. connect to server.
Type in
AFP://TCname.local (where TCname is your new short name for the TC and local is default domain .. it helps using the domain I found).
You will then find the computer either can or cannot find the network resource.. if it fails something else is wrong with the actual network and you will need to fix that.
It will request the password if it is found.. password is public by default unless you changed it.. type in the password and check to keep it in your keychain.
5. Delete current TM setup and redo it with the newly named TC.
See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
If your backups cannot be found, try B6 again, now that you actually know that the disk has been properly discovered.

Time Machine not deleting old back ups?

I keep getting the error
"This backup is too large for the backup volume. The backup requires...."
I use the same 500GB volume for backups all day, every day. I thought the program was supposed to automatically delete old back ups to make room? I do not see any additional settings to confirm this but if you manually delete back up files, it really kind of screws things up. I see back ups that are 4-6 weeks old on the back up volume so there are plenty it could delete. Has anyone else seen this and how do you resolve this problem?
TIA

Do you mean via the Finder? If so, yes, it does.
If you have deleted any this way, do the following:
1. Turn TM Off.
2. Use Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to do a +Repair Disk+ (not permissions) on your TM drive. If it finds errors that it can't fix, try again until it does or you get the exact same results. If they can't be fixed, stop here and post back with the results.
Download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/timemachinebuddy.html. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).
Also, is there other data on your TM drive? If so, is it in the same partition as TM's backups?

Time capsule full - will not delete old back ups

When a back up is attempted on time capsule, I get this message:
Time Machine Error
This backup is too large for the backup disk. The backup requires 2.52 GB but only 1.53 GB are available.
Latest successful backup: 10-01-20 at 3:09 PM
The option to delete old back ups is checked.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Ok, update. It would seem that I cant access the backups. I can see the disk image of the back up on my desktop, but cant seem to select it as the back up disk. The only one that I can select is "Time Capsule". There is only one Mac that is being backed up. It says that 784.38 GB of 998.06 GB is available.
So there's about 214 GB used on your internal HD?
Again, please: How large is the Time Capsule? Is there other data on it, besides backups? If so, how much?

Disk image /Volumes/Time Capsule/Computer Name’s Computer_001b6392bd73.sparsebundle mounted at: /Volumes/Backup of Computer Name’s Computer
Time Machine, for some odd reason, sometimes gets cranky about some particular names. Change yours per #C9 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
Network destination already mounted at: /Volumes/Time Capsule-2
Are there two (or more) +sparse bundles+ on your Time Capsule's internal disk? It looks like Time Machine has started a whole new set of backups (thus the "-2" in the name). If so, it won't delete any backups in the first set to make room for new backups in the second one.
Since you started backing-up to this Time Capsule, have you had any hardware repairs done to your Mac? If so, what?

PX4-300D does not recognize APC Back-UPS GS 500 (BG500)

I have one of APC's newer Lithium battery based UPS (BG500) - when connected to my Win7 PC via the included USB cable it is instantly recgonized as an UPS by Windows but when I plug the USB cable into my PX4-300D it is not detected.
Older APC UPS models are detected fine by the PX4-300D so there is nothing wrong with the PX4-300D
Are there any plans to support this APC UPS model?
Here is a link to the production information

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello TheOtherPete
All Iomega / LenovoEMC LifeLine devices use the USBHID-UPS driver. From what I have been able to locate so far, as APC does not seem to have released documentation on the unit in question yet, it seems the BG500 works with the snmp-ups driver.
There seems to be similar reports from other Linux NAS and computer users regarding this APC model. At this time I recommend contacting APC to confirm what the unit's supported driver actually is and if USBHID-UPS driver support could be added.
At this time I have not heard of any changes being made to add other ups driver support.
I recommend checking here to locate a UPS that uses the USBHID-UPS driver.

TM not deleting oldest back ups

I now get an error saying TM backup failed because there is not enough space on the back up disk ( back disk says that there is 24.76 gig avail ). My macbk has a 100 gig HD ( which has 18 gig free on it at the moment ) and the ext disk I use is 120 gig. I thought that TM was supposed to delete the oldest backup when space ran out on the backup disk...am I missing something?
thanks,

If the files TM has to delete are basic files, then it cannot delete them. Usually TM will delete small older files, but never the main initial backup from which all other backups are based.
Your TM drive is way too small. It should be at least 2 preferably 3 times as large as your internal drive. It needs room to work, just as does your internal drive, which is also dangerously full.
Backups and other operations need temporary space as they run and you are very low on both drives.

When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

Moving mail to the trash icon does not delete the mail.

I am using an iPad with OS Ver 7.0.2. Moving mail to the "Trash" icon does not delete the mail from the Inbox. This is not a problem on my iPhone. Settings are the same on both devices

First thing to try is a reset: hold the on/off button and the hold button at the same time until the iPad completely shuts down, then turn back on.
May not work, but often resolves simple app issues.

Deleting OU in OIM does not delete OU in OID

I have only one Resource that is OID which I am managing from OIM. When I delete a user in OIM from the User Edit Form, it deletes the user from OIM and also from OID.
But when I delete the OU from OIM, it does not delete the OU from OID. When I delete it from the Process Form of this resource, the OU gets deleted from OID fine, but I want to avoid 2 steps process and delete it directly from the OU Edit Form.
Will appreciate quick help on this.

The task is already created for Delete OID OU but that does not execute with(just after) the "Delete" button of OU from OIM. I have to do the two step process of first deleting the OU from OID using "Resource Profile" and "Delete OID OU" Process Task and then come back to the OIM and delet the OU. I am looking for one step "Delete" process for OU from OIM and OID.

My new iphone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete it on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

My new iPhone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete the email on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

POP does not support synchronization between the server and clients. You will need to use IMAP or Exchange Active Sync if your email provider supports it.

HELP! Does anyone know a "Data Recovery Expert" for I-Phone? - My calender disappeared during transfer of data from my old I-Phone 4 to my new I-Phone 5s. It was on both I-Phones then vanished. (It was evidently not syncing during back-ups on the laptop)

What calendar were you syning to? Outlook? Google? Something else? The directions on how to resync vary a bit.

The Apple techs are looking. But they can't find it. Nor can they find a back up on my laptop, Evidently when I backed up my Iphone to computer the calendar wasn't syncing. Since I only use the calander on my phone - I never noticed.
The Apple store rep that sold me the I-Phone 5 on Monday, was transferring my contacts and calendar thru I-Cloud (I never used I-Cloud before that moment - and always had it turned off). He successfully transferred the contacts - which are still on my phone), but the Calendar weirdly split into 6 calendars (2 of which were linked to my G-Mail which only had a few entries) (4 were linked to my MSN / Hotmail email and contained all the major events/data). I never created calendars that were separate or liked them to 2 different emails. I just typed entries into the I-Phone calendar. However, the calendar did exist on the new I-Phone for 24 hours. Something happened during transfer. When the Apple Genius Bar tech was attempting to back up my Calendar & merge the 6 calendars, everything disappeared in his hand while he was looking at it.
I am hoping that some really good data recovery expert exists that can restore the calendar that was in both I-Phones yesterday. It is completely devastating if I can't recover it.
Any help, or referrals, is great appreciated!!!!
Thanks!

My win8 pc hard drive failed. After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used). ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help! The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection. I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that. Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes? Thanks!!

This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.

Before removing iPhoto (latest update crashed the app), I accidently removed it from my purchased Apps from the App Store. I accept iPhoto when I search for it, but does not put it back in my list. How do I get this back so that I can reinstall iPhoto?

Thank you.

I found the answer just after posted this. Thanks to a user named CloudWalker. Solution is to go in AppStore, View Account under "Store" Menu and unhide any purchases.
