Time Machine on my wife’s MacBook Pro hasn’t backed up since March 12. When I tell Time Machine to back up I get this window:
When I click on details I get this window:
Time Machine backs up to a 1TB partition on a 4TB ssd
When I run disk utility on the Time Machine partition I get this message:
I can successfully run disk utility on the 3TB partition of the ssd.?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Re: Found some fun reading material
OMG[oodness], Bill! What an awesome time machine! I had one of those 1st-gen 128K Macs that had all those people’s signatures written on the inside of the case. I used to pour over every periodical that the Mac community produced, but I never saw the first year MacWorlds. This is such a wonderful gift for you to share with us all. Thanks!

International Verify your Backups Day
Today (Friday the 13th) is the unofficial Verify your Backups Day. And my family has found three separate Time Machine backups that weren't working!

I meant terabytes.

DropBox is upgrading my plan (not my choice) and giving me 200tb of space and charging me $130 a year (up from $100 a year). that is my only option.
I only have about 105gb of data on dropbox and less than 50gb of data on iCloud so I am going to up my iCloud storage to 200GB for $3.00 a month and move my data from Dropbox to iCloud.
Does anyone know of any reason why I shouldn’t do this?
Thanks.

Is there a way to look at the history to see when a page from the document was dragged to the desktop?? She doesn't need "legal" proof but does need to have enough info to confront the person who might have done this.? She was also the most recent person to open the document so having that info isn't enough.

Yay, John! Good idea! Jonathan On Mar 6, 2020, at 10:30 AM, John Robinson via Groups.Io <profilecovenant@...> wrote:
Jeff,
The only way I can think of would be the TimeMachine backups, you can see from below that there are several backups for each day…
Inside the Documents portion all her items would be listed, as you see on mine.
Then clicking on the Mac HD you can see what’s on the Desktop. (Second screenshot).
So, if the document in question was inside a folder in Documents on 3/5/20 but one of the backups on 3/6/20 showed it on the desktop, she knows when it was moved.
I hope this helps, and hopefully she used TimeMachine.

I used to pay for the extra DropBox space, but dropped it after iCloud became more reliable. I now pay for the iCloud 200 GB space increase because it’s cheaper than DropBox and easier to get at from an iPad. I actually still use both for a couple of reasons. I keep current projects on DropBox periodically backed up to iCloud with a Keyboard Maestro script. This way the current working version of a project and a backup are both accessible from anywhere I happen to be. Also, DropBox works from Linux and iCloud doesn’t. With my ongoing projects I have backups on iCloud and on my NAS at home because I don’t really trust any of the online places. L^2 PS/ My daughter uses DropBox and pays for lots of storage. She still won’t touch iCloud for serious work because she got really burned a couple of years ago with mangled files. ---- Lee Larson leelarson@... ?The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided. — ?Casey Stengel ??

Harry, I’ve never used Wanderlust, I’m clueless about it’s features.
To organize my mess I use all Apple products, (I imagine that surprises you).
All of them sync between every devise, updates are provided by Apple and not a third party to add features and plug holes are completed on the entire stable of products all at once.
Calendar, Notes, and Reminders are all I need to keep myself upright. On the last screenshot you can see that Reminders allows you to attach items to the reminder.
You are right, this Wanderlust is now in the stable of Microsoft, and like you I would now not have anything to do with it.

It is a todo list that syncs on my two macs and my iPhone and my iPad. Today I received a message from the Wunderlist team. They are ceasing support for Wanderlust and have created a new product called Microsoft ToDo.
I use Wunderlist daily and hate to lose it and I am not sure I want to migrate to a product with Microsoft in its name.
Do any of you use a todo list on your computer - one that syncs across platforms?
What do you recommend?
