Time capsule crashing when working directly from it

I use time capsule as a hard drive and back up disk. When working on a file that is saved on the time capsule, especially Adobe Photoshop, it freezes on spinning wheel and I have to do a hard restart.
The whole point in using time capsule as a hard drive is to free up as much space on my mac hard drive. I don't want to keep dragging and dropping whole folders to the desktop just to do small amendments.
Why is it doing this? Please help!
Michelle.

I am afraid that you will not like the answer here, so maybe some other users will offer different opinions.
The Time Capsule is designed for your backups. It will not function well if you try to make it an everyday hard drive since it is a network drive. Access is much slower with this type of drive.
When working on a file that is saved on the time capsule, especially Adobe Photoshop, it freezes on spinning wheel and I have to do a hard restart.
Hopefully, these are not your "original" files. If so, can we ask how you are making backups of these files?
I don't know about Photoshop, but the experts in the iPhoto forum strongly warn against storing any "original" files on the Time Capsule disk because of the slow access and chances of corruption errors, which can damage the entire image library.
I do use Photoshop Elements, and would simply not consider locating the image library on my Time Capsule for the same reasons.
The whole point in using time capsule as a hard drive is to free up as much space on my mac hard drive.
Again, this unfortunately sounds like you have moved "original" files on your Mac over the Time Capsule drive.
When....not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem, you will lose all of these files unless you are making backups of them on yet another hard drive.
But, since you need to have another hard drive anyway, you might consider this plan:
Move all of the image files and other data that you need for "everyday" use to the hard drive that is connected directly to your Mac. Access will be much faster and the errors will go away.
Plus....you can configure Time Machine to backup both your Mac and the hard drive.....so you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another. That would be a safe backup strategy.

Time capsule crash when copying files from it

Hi, I'm trying to copy files from a time capsule to a windows 7 pc. When I do that the time capsule crashes. I can copy files from the windows 7 pc to the time capsule without problems. Has anybody got a clue? I just bought the time capsule, so it has the latest versions.

What do you see that you interpret as a Time Capsule crash? You can use AirPort Utility to look at the log file of the Time Capsule. Go into "Manual Setup", then invoke Base Station > Logs and Statistics. There might be a message in the log that helps explain the problem.

Time Capsule crashes when Time Machine starts a backup

I've not searched through the postings here to see if other people have seen a similar problem. I've not attempted to repeat the problem I've seen here so I'm not very clear about the cause.
I'm using a MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.4 connected via a network cabled directly to a Time Capsule which is connected to a DSL/Cable modem. The Time Capsule is updated with v 7.3.2 of the firmware. I've got Time Machine enabled but I'm also using the Time Capsule disk (1TB) to store photos that I've previously archived to CD. I'm in the process of copying all the data from CD to the Time Capsule.
Having copied some photo data to the Time Capsule I was trying out some photo cataloguing SW to see if it was any good (iPhoto is no good to me as I don't want to store photos on the local drive of my machine) - Kodak EasyShare v6.1. Having loaded some images into EasyShare I tried to use finder to search for the file names of some of the images to check that EasyShare was not copying images to my local drive. While I was doing this I think Time Machine tried to kick in and start doing a backup. I believe that Time Capsule crashed at this point. Finder froze and after I restarted it (via Force Quit not a re-boot) I discovered that I had no network connection and Mac OS couldn't see the Time Capsule under FInder or via AirPort Utility (the Time Machine backup also timed out and failed). Time Capsule just sat there with the disk spinning and a green light on the front as if all was OK. Actually - the disk just kept spinning (Time Capsule normally shuts down the drive after it is idle for a while). Because of this I'm pretty sure that Time Capsule had crashed.
I experimented with re-booting my Mac but still no network etc so I tried power cycling the Time Capsule and everything came back to life.
I'm guessing that my doing a search (or some other drive activity on Time Capsule) at the same time as Time Machine kicking in with a backup caused Time Capsule to crash.
Perhaps this is not a very interesting point if this problem is not repeatable but - well, I'd be interested to know if others have seen similar behavior...

I'm having a very similar problem and it is detrimental.
Here is the scenario: I have a 1TB Time Capsule as my primary router. I am able to perform backups on all but one of my machines. My iMac backs up via 1GB ethernet to the TC, my MacBookAir (60GB,SS) backs up via wireless N (270mb) and my other MacBookAir (80GB,IDE) also backs up via wireless N without any problems.
I used to use a 500mb external drive to backup my iMac but outgrew it, so I started backing up to the TC instead. No problems at all.
I also used to back up my Intel MacMini running Mac OS X Server 10.5.5 to a similar external hard-drive but haven't in a while.
I decided it finally made sense to backup ALL my Mac's to the same 1TB TimeCapsule but it's just not working out!
On the MacMini; I turn on TimeMachine, the TimeCapsule has been chosen as a backup location, it prepares backup for a moment, mounts the backup drive and then appears to begin backup up... No...! First I get a message the the TimeCapsule closed the connection, next I lose Internet connection across my entire network both wired and wireless and then the TimeCapsule light turns amber, flashes and essentially does a completel crash / reset and then comes back to life a few moments later. I can backup any other computer except the MacMini to the TimeCapsule without "crashing" it and it makes no sense! Every computer is completely up to date with all the latest patches and the TimeCapsule is running 7.3.2
I sure hope this gets resolved, seems like other people are pretty disgusted with the performance of the TimeCapsule with problems that have no resolution.

Time Capsule Crashing When Trying to Access External HDD

Hi, I have a MBP and an iMac backing up successfully to a 1TB Time Capsule. I recently bought a 1 TB WD My Book external HDD which I attached to the USB port of the Time Capsule to archive all my digital media so that the TC could be used exclusively for backups.
The external HDD showed up under Airport Utility as well as as a partition under Time Capsule in the finder. The problem is whenever I tried to access the HDD it would freeze and crash the Time capsule which needed to be rebooted and restarted to work again. The funny thing is that on occasion I actually got the disk to work and I copied a few files across but within like a couple of minutes the Time Capsule hung and I got messaged that the file server in the Time Capsule and the External HDD was disconnected. Reconnection was only possible by powering off and restarting.
Any suggestions? Much appreciated.

I have the same problem.
My Setup:
Time Capsule 500 GB
15" MBP 1.83 GHz
WD 250 GB USB Drive (Powered)
I run Time Machine backups to TC. This works without any problems and very quick I might add.
My problem is when I try to copy files to and from the External USB Drive to my MBP. The files will start to copy, then I lose the connection to the USB drive and the TC (no Internet connection as well).
To get the TC to work again, I need to power it down and power it back up.
Any help would be appreciated.

Time capsule crash when i add external drive

Hi all:
I have a time capsule that is running out of disk space. When I plug in a usb external drive, the time cap turns amber and all the wireless functions go off line.
Time capsule firm ware is up to date. Does anyone know what is wrong?

Is the drive 3 TB or less?
Is the external hard drive formatted correctly in Mac OS Exended (Journaled) or FAT32?
(Your Mac can read other formats, but the Time Capsule USB port will only read and write to the Mac format and FAT32).
If yes to both questions above, have you tried using a powered USB hub with the drive?

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data.

I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.
http://pondini.org/TM/17.html
But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

Time Capsule crashing; not appearing in AirPort Utility

Hi all
My Time Capsule keeps on crashing, and is currently not appearing in the AirPort Utility window. I restarting it by unplugging it and plugging it back in again, but it will randomly crash again, or the sessions will be interrupted on the TC drive and the additional HDD that's plugged into it. I'm not really sure what's going on here. It's not like I'm sitting too far away from the Time Capsule (less than 3m, in fact).
The only thing that's going on that could be causing this, as far as I can see, is my attempting to migrate my files and folders from my old PowerBook to my new MacBook Pro (a procedure that is not, in all honestly, going all that well).
Thanks in advance

Rob,
If you don't mind a few more suggestions...
*_Time Capsule Weak Signal Strength / Dropped Connections_*
Forgive the size of the post, but the suggestions below have helped others with similar issues. Try each topic individually and see if things improve, If not move on to the next one.
*Keep the Time Capsule Cool*
Some posters have observed that when they positioned the Time Capsule for better ventilation and cooling, their network connectivity issues resolved themselves. Also avoid locating the devise within poorly ventilated cabinets or piling items around or on top of it.
*Time Capsule Orientation*
While the location you chose to setup your Time Capsule may be acceptable, but the direction it is oriented can have an effect on signal strength. It appears that the signal of the Time Capsule does not radiate equally from all sides of the devise.
The antennas within the devise are positioned along the 3 smooth sides. That is, there is no antenna on the side bearing the ports and cables. As a result, position the devise with the ports and cables AWAY from the direction of most of the clients that will be connecting to it.
*Cordless Phones*
Some users have discovered that the cordless phones they have in the home occupy or are near the same bandwidth as their wireless network (2.4Ghz or 5Ghz). Try temporarily disabling the handsets and their bases and see if network connectivity improves. If so you may need to change the channel that the phone uses or purchase phones that occupy a different bandwidth.
*Proximity To Other Devices*
One poster observed: “Finally have full access, full speed, and full functionality. Initially I installed the Time Capsule at the location of my cable, cable modem... which of course was next to my HDTV, DVD, Apple TV, Amplifier, etc. Get the picture? After about 4 weeks of starts and stops, resets and repeated initial backups, I moved the unit to another location, closer to my Mac, and in an area where there are no other electronics. Now, it runs perfect.” [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1734818&tstart=0]
*Change Firewall Settings* #
Go to System Preferences --> Security.
Click the Firewall tab.
Change setting to “Set access for specific services and applications”.
The System will now ask you when each process wants to penetrate the firewall. Once you click “Allow” each time you are asked, it will be saved in the pane at the bottom of this window and it should never ask you again.
One poster observed, “Since I made this change, my wireless has been strong and Time Machine works like a champ and the impact on my network performance is minimal. I speculate that the change in performance is due to security protocols or services that run in the 'allow all incoming connections' and 'allow only essential services' modes. Whatever the reason this fix has worked for me for over 2 months without resetting my airport connection or time capsule.” [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8348496#8348496]
*Change Time Capsules’ Channel*
Launch Airport Utility.
Select the device on the left.
Click "Manual Setup."
Select “Airport” in the toolbar.
Click the "Wireless" tab.
If “Channel” is set to “Automatic” try changing to a different one. Holding the Option key down and clicking the drop-down menu should provide more channels to choose from. If you have another wireless router operating, ensure that each devices’ channels are as far apart as possible.
Click “Update”.
Close Airport Utility.
*Preferred Networks & Airport Services*
You may be experiencing interference from other networks in your neighborhood. When you click the Airport menu are there other networks listed other than your own?
If so, is your network at the top of the list? It should be.
Go to System Preferences --> Network --> Select Airport on the left.
Click "Advanced". In the “Airport” tab note the various local wireless networks that Airport detects. Is the network you prefer to connect to at the top of the list? If not drag it to the top. Are there other networks you never intend to connect to (an old work network, or a neighbors network)? Then highlight them and click the "-" button.
Make sure “Remember any network this computer has joined” is checked.
Click "OK".
For "Network Name" be sure your network is selected and then click "Apply".
Is Airport (wireless) your primary means of connecting to your network? If so, is Airport at the top of the list of services on the left? It should be.
Click the small “Gear” button at the bottom of the window and select “Set Service Order”.
Now drag Airport to the top of the list.
Click “OK”. Click “Apply”.
Now see if network connectivity has improved.
*Transmit Power & Wide Channels*
If you are using the 802.11n only (5GHz) radio mode, you can also select to use wide channels, which provide higher data throughput in your network.
Launch Airport Utility
Select your Time Capsule on the left.
Click “Manual Setup”.
Select “Airport” in the toolbar.
Click the “Wireless” tab.
Click “Wireless Options...” at the bottom of the window.
Adjust the “Transmit Power” to 100%.
Put a check mark in the box labeled “Use Wide Channels”. (If you are using a 802.11a/b/g (2.4GHz) radio mode then select “Interference Robustness”)
Click “Done”.
Click “Update” in the lower right hand corner.
Wait for the Time Capsule to restart and then see if your network speeds improve.
*Faulty Airport Card*
One poster reported: “I reckoned the fault must be with the Macbook’s hardware so took the plunge and got a new airport card fitted to my Macbook and now everything is working fine. At last I have a working Macbook!” [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1719326&tstart=0]
If you think this might be the case, follow the steps outlined in this KB article to determine if your Airport card is still being detected by your system:

My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
Apple AirPort Time Capsule
I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured, but then it works.
The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

I can deal with the last question first and easily.
I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
It can take several hours..
7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
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.
Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.

Time Capsule error when interrupting a regular hourly backup

Okay... So it's supposedly common knowledge that if you interrupt an hourly Time Capsule backup (not the big initial one) by putting your Macbook to sleep, the next time you wake your computer up Time Machine is supposed to just pick up where it left off. Right?
Not for me. I got Time Capsule right when it was released and it worked like a charm for a whole entire month... Until one day I made the mistake of interrupting one of its backups. When I got back to my computer I got an error saying the backup could not be completed. I thought it was no big deal until I actually tried to start a backup again. First it stayed on "Preparing" for a long time... Then a similar error message. I tried again and again and got nothing but error messages. Nothing I tried worked.
I decided to erase the Time Capsule disk and start over, essentially losing a month's worth of backups. Once again it worked for a few days until once again I put my Mac to sleep while it was doing a regular backup. Once again, coming back to my computer resulted in an error message. Once again it couldn't recover no matter what I did. I decided to try again from scratch, erased the drive, did the big backup.
Today, after three days of it working just fine, I had to leave my house in the middle of a backup. I paused for a moment wondering if I should do it, but then thought, what the ****, you're SUPPOSED to be able to interrupt it.
Um, no. Error message again. Except today I decided to run Disk Utility on it, which did work in reviving its backup abilities... HOWEVER something very strange happened. Spotlight started indexing the backup disk image-- something I'm pretty sure is not supposed to happen. It insisted on doing this every time I mounted the disk image, and only when it was finished indexing would it agree to dismount itself after backing up (like it's supposed to). Aside from that, Time Machine no longer asks for my password when I choose the Time Capsule disk... It just chooses it. It also doesn't alert me when I delete a file stored inside the Time Capsule disk (to tell me it will be permanently deleted) but instead sends it to the trash. And when recovering a file from Time Machine, the disk image doesn't dismount itself once it's done-- I have to do it manually.
In short, it's not acting normal, as far as I can tell.
So my question is twofold:
1) why the **** can't I interrupt the backup without getting an error? It's not supposed to work this way. Does this work for anyone else?
2) What the **** happened to the disk image now that I've got it to work again? It backs up fine and everything but it's acting weird.
Thanks... Hope someone has any clue what this all means!

I have a very similar issue. Spotlight is now indexing the backup volume on Time Capsule, and it is taking forever.
Nobody else using Time Machine / Time Capsule here? I can't believe that.

Time Capsule crashes my computer!

Hey, well, I've had a time capsule for a while now, and for the first couple of months it was working just fine... then one day my dad asks me if I could put the windows XP SP2 on the TC, and it stopped in the middle of the transferring process, and ever since then, every time I try to access it it completely crashes the computer.
Luckily, the most important files are also present on our computers.
Is there any way to reset the time capsule so that I can start from a clean disk again?

My time capsule has not worked since the May 1st update. A grey curtain comes down on the screen and a warning in several languages shows up and I have turn off my MBP. I am very frustrated with this problem and I can see I am not the only one:

Tima capsule stop to work

i've changed the name of my network and my time capsule stopped to work properly. actually time machine says "i cannot activate the image of back up disk"
i've tryed to initialize the disk with the disck utility and now from the disck utility TM is all free (no space allocated) but Time Machine continues to try to make incremental back up and doesn't work !!! i've tryed to cancel with zeros old backups space but is too long (it takes 7 days)
with the disk utility i've changed the name of the disk

That's right, I can't connect after a Hard reset. I get the same message.
" Connection Failed
The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
When I use a program to identify wireless networks the Time Capsule shows up.
Would the fact that I had a different name for Time Capsule before I Hard Reset create some sort of a problem?

Dreamweaver CC constantly crashing when working with BC

Hi,
Dreamweaver CC is constantly crashing when working with BC. I had lots of contact with the support, my issue is at tier2 already, I had telephone-support several times, we had lots of possible solutions. Nothing worked.
DW CC is crashing as often as CS6 did and it only happened when working with a BC-site. Whenever uploading to BC, there is a 30% chance that DW crashes. When having stopped working with DW for a few minutes (like doing something in PS) DW crashes in every case. 100%. As this must have something to do with BC, I urgently beg to check the integration of BC into DW or check the connection-mode.
Here are my Specs:
- iMac with latest OS
- Adobe CC (latest )
- German
-DSL 1500 b/sec-connection
I tried saving the sites root folder on a NAS and on local harddrive. I tried with or without german Umlaute , no difference.
Sometimes I can cancel the upload-message and redo, then its working (75%).
As I seem to be the only one having this problem, I completely reinstalled the system and CC, but the problem still exists.
I would really appreciate any help or support from Adobe, although I must say, they already did a lot, but unfortunately my problem is not solved.
By the way, several dialogs with "dont show message again"-ckeckboxes simply come again, no matter whether box is checked or not.
Writing uppercase I (shift-I) insert content of clipboard and writes an uppercase I. (weird?)

I have had the same problem.
Had Dreamweaver support on the phone yesterday, after receiving this email:
Please try resetting the preferences for Dreamweaver. Follow the steps given below.
/Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences/Adobe Dreamweaver CC Prefs
/Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Dreamweaver.13.0.plist
/Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC

Macintosh /Library/Preferences/ Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC Prefs (if any)
Macintosh /Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Dreamweaver.13.0.plist
Note: Follow the help doc to access user library.
If this does not help can you please send me details below to isolate the issue further.
1)      Step by step workflow to reproduce the issue.
2)      Is this happening with multiple files? Few sample files to test the issue at my end.
3)      Complete System Information file of the computer having issues.
4)      Were there any H/w or S/w changes applied on the computer having issues. Since when are you getting this issue?
5)      Is the user on domain account or local user? Do they have admin rights?
6)      You BC site details, including FTP address, Login credentials.
After our telephone conversation:
I deleted all sites.
I have completely deleted all versions of Dreamweaver, deleted all preference files and reinstalled Dreamweaver CC.
It's still happening, so I will be back to them tomorrow.
Sorta glad it's not just me!!

Time Capsule does not work and i can not not mount it anymore, even after follow all apples instructions at FAQs

My Time Capsule suddenly stopped working, and i can not even mount it anymore. When i ask for a backup, the time machine keeps looking for a disk with no success.
I tried all the FAQs suggestions:
1) I change the name of the disk using Airport Utility;
2) I updated it using Airport Utility.
Now i can not even try to erase the disk because after to update it, the disk in not listed anymore.
Now i can just read a "internal disk needs repair" message. that wasn't there before, having in mind that the first response was "there is no space at the disk for a backup".
What can i do?

The TC has a fault..
Power it down and let it cool off overnight. Power it on again the next morning and check if it works.. no luck factory reset.. do all the tests quickly as you have 10-20min before the Temp rises to kill it again.
No luck it is dead.. give us the actual model number.. A1xxx from the base.
How old is it?? Beyond 3years they do become dodgy.

My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

This can be caused by a number of issues.
Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

HT4522 I would like to delete some time capsule files that I erased from my mac. Please and thanks

Please help me deleting some files that are in my time capsule which I have erased from my computer
thank you

Since you deleted the files on your Mac, Time Machine will eventually delete them automatically from the Time Capsule, so you really need do nothing.
If you really do want to delete the files right now, open Time Machine, wait for it to load and use the timeline on the right side of the window to go back to a date when the files were still on your Mac.
Use the Finder like interface to navigate to the specific file that you want to delete and click on it to highlight it
Click the gear icon at the top of Time Machine window and click "Delete all backups of xxxxxxxx"
Do the same for other files that you want to delete.
Click Cancel at the lower left of the window to return to your normal desktop
