How can I reduce the size of the security time machine file

Saving file of my macbook air is to get half of the capacity of the hard drive on my time capsule. I would rather not do it again, but I need to go back five years. I would be sufficient to return two or three years.

But how to delete a few years to free up space on my drive hard time capsule?

Time Machine is not designed to do what you want. It can be done, but it is a very long, tedious and frankly dangerous process relating to remove manually every old date backup and then using the Terminal for "compact" the Time Capsule disk commands so that it accurately displays the amount of free space available on the Time Capsule.

Not recommended for most users. If you want to try when even, have a look at this article to support just below... the box rose in particular.  Terminal is an extremely dangerous place unless you know exactly what you are doing and understand basic programming commands.

My advice would be to continue to use the time Capsule until he was 80 to 90 percent complete. At this time, add a USB to the Capsule and archive all backups on the Time Capsule on the USB... If you want to go back and pick up an old file.

Then, clear the Time Capsule disk and start over.

  • How can I reduce the first time lock GPS?

    I am building an app that takes your location and calculate the distance of a few specified benchmarks.

    The problem I have is that it takes on average about 5 minutes to get what he first lock. Even when I change the settings to use explicitly aided in GPS is still takes a long time. I know that there must be a better approach is because Google Maps takes less than a minute to get his lock. Here's the code I used to build criteria:

    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    criteria.setVerticalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);
    criteria.setHorizontalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);
    criteria.setSpeedAndCourseRequired(false);
    criteria.setAltitudeRequired(false);
    criteria.setAddressInfoRequired(false);
    criteria.setCostAllowed(true);
    criteria.setPreferredPowerConsumption(Criteria.POWER_USAGE_HIGH);
    

    Here is how I load the location:

    try {
                LocationProvider provider = LocationProvider.getInstance(criteria);
                Location location = provider.getLocation(-1);
                int method = location.getLocationMethod();
                if ((method & Location.MTA_ASSISTED) == Location.MTA_ASSISTED) {
                    System.out.println(" Assisted GPS");
                }
                if ((method & Location.MTA_UNASSISTED) ==
                Location.MTA_UNASSISTED) {
                    System.out.println(" Unassisted GPS");
                }
                if ((method & Location.MTE_CELLID) ==
                Location.MTE_CELLID) {
                    System.out.println(" Cell Site");
                }
                locationUpdated(provider, location);
    
            } catch (Exception e) {
                String msg = e.getMessage()+" ("+e.getClass().getName()+")";
                _mainScreen.reportError(msg);
                System.out.println(msg);
            }
    

    No idea where I am going wrong?

    Are you sure that the fix for Google Maps that you speak is obtained by using the location API at all? Maybe you talk about fix Cellsite-style own from Google that does not use the localization API: simply, he questions a web server with the ID of the current cell and gets an immediate response with a correction.

  • How can I reduce the size of a file of numbers?

    I have a file that is too big to 650 MB. It is mostly text. I found 1 sheet which is "inflated".  I tried to copy/paste the columns in a new file, but it ends with lines and additional columns that I copied! It seems to me that if I could have something in layers? How can I reduce the size of the file.

    If it's really just the text that seems really strange.  I repeat what you have already done, copy items to a tim in a new file, and then save after each copy and monitor the size of files.  When you see the file size jump exceptionally fast, do NOT save the new file, and focus on the issue.  What are the benefits?  You paste images into a table as a background fill?

    If you did and you want photos, try to reduce the size of the file by using the menu item "file > advanced > reduce file size...» » :

    How can I reduce the size of an e-mail signature because I am told that it is too large, truncated?

    original title: email signatures

    How did you compose the signature?  If you have used the word or some office products, its probably loaded with unnecessary code.  In Word save as html, but use the filtered HTML and which should reduce the size.

    All you really need is the basic HTML code such as:



    This is a signature.

    You can copy and paste that into Notepad and add some text, formatting, and images you want.

  • How can I reduce the size of a PSE11 catalog?

    How can I reduce the size and increase the efficiency of a PSE11 catalog by removing many of its elements?

    A catalogue with more than 10,000 photos works very slowly. But deleting the photos does not help. To take an extreme example, removing all but ten photos, remove all tags and identifications of persons and performs the repair and optimization changes size of the catalogue almost at all, from 516 MB to 493 MB. The properties of the two catalogs indicate the number of files to remain unchanged: 10 279 files. (It seems that each of these files is a photo in the original catalogue, great, all except that ten have allegedly been deleted).

    A whole new catalog created with these same ten pictures has less than 1 MB in size, with only 20 files. This tiny catalogue and the 493 MB each probably contain the same usable information.

    Starting with the large catalog with 10,000 photos, is it possible to delete all but ten of his photos, while reducing its size from 516 to 1 MB? (If so, I want to use the same method with a lot more pictures.)

    Thanks for the comments.
