What's the right way to delete an entire backup ?

I've had two Macs doing wireless Time Machine backups to one Time Capsule.
Question: I got rid of one Mac, and want to delete its backup entirely (but leave the other computer's backups untouched). What's the right way to do it?

Jespes, welcome to the discussions!
Open your hard drive. Your Time Capsule icon should appear under the SHARED heading.
Click on the Time Capsule and a folder will appear to the right.
Double click the folder and you should see a xxxxxx.sparsebundle file for each computer that has been backing up.
Click on the xxxxx.sparsebundle file that you want to delete to highlight it and then click the gear shaped icon just above. Select Move to Trash. (Do not drag the file to the Trash as this will not work).
Be careful, as the file will be deleted instantly and you will not be able to retrieve it.
many thanks!

    What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

    To completely remove an app and all of its data, do this: First delete the app on your phone, then in iTunes, under Library, click on Apps, right-click the app you want to delete & select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Connect your phone and sync. The app and all of its data will be gone.

  • What is the right way to move a directory to another drive?

    When I move a directory to another location using drag and drop in the Elements 11 Organizer folder tree most, if not all, of the images become unlinked. What is the right way to move a directory and have the image paths updated in the Organizer database? Thanks.

    That's something I just did successfully one hour ago...
    I suppose your are in the 'folder' view with full folder tree, not in the 'My folder' view which only shows the lower subfolder level recorded in the database.
    Do you try to move a folder with its subfolders ?

  • What's the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?

    H All:
    What’s the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?
    (Target = Android, AIR using Flash IDE)
    Adding a handler to the DataGrid works; but (as expected) it only works on  the datagrid itself. Like if you swipe on the background before rows are fully  added. Adding columns over the datagrid, prevents the datagrids’ swipe handler  from firing.
    Trying to add a swipe hander to the columns themselves, results in the  below error.
    //  Below code fails with
    //  1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type
    //   fl.controls.dataGridClasses:DataGridColumn.  So ... DataGridColumn doesn’t support addEventListener...
    There must be a better way(?).
    Thanks
                import fl.controls.DataGrid;
                import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
               // Works, but only on the grid itself; as when the rows do not  fill the space tor the datagrid.
                myDataGrid.addEventListener  (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, swipeGridHandler);
                var c1:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Notes"); 
                c1.width = 90;
                c1.cellRenderer = CenterAlignCell;
                c1.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE,  swipeGridHandler);

  • What is the right  way to display a table in Java web dynpro using a node.

    Hi experts,
      I am trying to show a node of cardinality 0...n as a table in an adobe form in Java web dynpro. But its not showing it properly. Can anybody please tell me what is the right way to display a table on adobe form using a node of cardinality 0...n or 1...n in Java Webdynpro.  In ABAP webdynpro, we can drag and drop a node of cardianlity 0...n or 1...n to  show as a table and it works fine. Is the same possible in Java webdynpro also. Please help.
    Thanks and Regards.

    Please refer to my post.. you will get the answer
    Dynamic Table -  same data repeating in all rows
    Special care should be taken in designing the context for table attribute.
    The attribute type singletone also plays a important role. I have this doubt from the beginning when you have reported this problem for the first time but finally you marked it as solved so i thought there might be some other issues but again when you reported that again i did some analysis.
    Now coming to final solution :
    For designing a table in adobe interactive form you have consider following
    You have to design the view context upto three level, I am explaining you the properties
    PDFDataSource (Parent Level1) - Cardinality 1:1 - Signetone -True - This is assigned to datasource
    TableList (Parent Level2) - Cardinality (1:1) - Signetone -True
    TableWrapper(Parent Level3) - Cardinality (0:n) - Signetone -True
    TableData (Parent Level4) - Cardinality (0:1) - Signetone - false (This is the main point)
    Then under TableData value node, you have to put all your table attributes.
    This Value Node name can be anything but hierarchy should be same as I have mentioned above.
    Please try out these steps and get back to me if you have any doubt.

  • What is the right way to connect the adapter to my macbook when charging?

    what is the right way to connect the adapter to my macbook when charging.
    is it connect the magsafe connector first before plugging the adapter to the outlet? or the way around? or both ways will do?
    what if i'm using a surge protection with a on/off button, can I just turn the surge protector extension on and off without disconnecting the magsafe connector and adapter plug from my laptop when i'm not using it?
    thank you very much

    If there is any arcing it may be because the adapter is dirty. It is best to plug in the wall wart then attach the magsafe to the MacBook. As GfulDedFan mentioned this reduces the chance of power surging the MacBook. I have done mine this way since he day I bought it and have never had an arc. I keep it clean to reduce the chance of this happening. The following will help in the care of your supply.

  • HT1417 What's the quickest way to delete duplicates without going song by song?

    What is the quickest way to delete duplicates from i tunes library without going song by song?  I just transferred my music from my ipod classic to my computer and now I have a lot of duplicate music.  Most is from CD's I reburned or music I was able to get back on my new computer through I tunes.  It is from my personal i pod (one of 4).  I finally figured out how to get it off the ipod and back onto my newer computer. I made sure to go to advanced setting and check "keep i tunes folder organized" but it still saved all duplicates.

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • What is the best way to delete MacKeeper?

    I installed MacKeeper last year in an attempt to free up some hard drive space on my former hard drive. I now have a new SSD and have no need for MacKeeper. In addition, I see that this programme attracts a lot of negative press.
    What is the best way to delete MacKeeper from my hard drive and Time machine?

    Remove the "MacKeeper" crapware as follows. First, back up all data.
    "MacKeeper" has only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
    Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
    IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Applications from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Then a dialog will pop up asking why you want to uninstall it. You don't have to provide that information. Enter anything you like in the text box, then click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Reboot.
    Do not try to uninstall by dragging the MacKeeper icon in the Dock or the LaunchPad to the Trash.
    Here are some general suggestions. If you want your computer to be usable, don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” "tune-ups," “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

  • What is the best way to delete applications?

    I am told that my Mac came with everything I need in the way of programs for basic functions.  What is the best way to delete applications making sure there are no threads left in Library and other places?

    Yes, but not always. An example of what I call "System" files/folders would be Quicktime or things like pre-installed print and scanner drivers. You have to be pretty confident to go rummaging through files in either /System or /Library. Most of the time there is no reason to be in there.
    An example of a file that is in those system folders, that does not come pre-installed as of Lion, is Flash plug-ins. That gets installed in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    But your average App downloaded from the MAS, most of it's files will be in the User Folder   ~/username

  • What is the quickest way to delete personal info prior to recycling?

    We are downsizing and my trusty iMac (10 years old I think) has to go, what is the best way to delete personal stuff?

    The preferred and/or fastest method to ensure removal of all personal data depends on whether the computer is going to the recycling heap for safe disposal or whether it will be given/sold to a future user.  In the former case, removing and keeping the hard drive can  be the fastest way to do so, but that depends on the design of the computer in question.  Since you have a 10 year-old iMac, I'll assume it's an iMac G4.  Hard drive removal is more involved for that model, than it is for other Macs that can be opened quickly.  The other method is to boot the computer from the installer disk, run Disk Utility and select the hard drive to erase and reformat as a Mac OS Extended volume.  Choose the option to "write zeros" to the drive, as this will overwrite the existing data.  It takes longer, but you indicated that you wanted to remove personal info.  If you're donating the computer to an organization for future use, re-install the OS and include the original disks.
