Re: Result of deleting the time machine of my old Mac Pro
Thanks, Dan. I did shut off Time machine, as I saw when I first started, That if it went on, all deleting stopped.
Now after I take a breather and go about my computer stuff for a few days, I will upgrade to Catalina .
BTW, I sure saw that I was addicted to my computer, but I sure did get a lot of other stuff on my to do list done in the past 3 snowy days.

Jeannie, Time Machine backups don't backup every file every time. If
you have a file that hasn't changed in weeks, and with Time Machine
doing a backup about every 60 minutes, there aren't dozens of version
of that unchanged file in the backups. TM uses some called a link
(also a hard link) to link each backup with this tiny little link to
the unchanged file.
A hard link is a little bit like an alias but different. There is also
a symbolic link in the Unix system but most folks just use an alias for
convenience.
It's all these links that can take a lot of time to delete.
For future reference, shutting off Time Machine, then deleting a backup
folder, is probably a faster way to do it.
Good luck.

Re: Result of deleting the time machine of my old Mac Pro
For future reference, shutting off Time Machine, then deleting a backup
folder, is probably a faster way to do it.
And the best way for that may be using Terminal, and ¡° tmutil¡±:
How to remove Time Machine backups Be careful with sudo and making sure you pick the correct Mac's files since there is no undo or confirmation of the following command: sudo tmutil delete /Volumes/drive_name/Backups.backupdb/old_mac_name The sudo command needs your password (and it won't echo to the screen, so just type it and pause to be sure you're deleting the correct files before pressing enter). If you want to be safer, you can pick one snapshot to delete first to be sure the command works as intended. This is nice since it could take hours to clean up some larger backup sets and you want to leave the Mac confident it's deleting the correct information store. You can use the tmutil tool to delete backups one by one. sudo tmutil delete /Volumes/drive_name/Backups.backupdb/mac_name/YYYY-MM-DD-hhmmss
What I have done in the past is open the backup drive in Finder, drill down to the level with the actual backup files I want to delete, then open Terminal and enter <sudo tmutil delete ?>, then drag-and-drop the files, 1 by 1, from the Finder window into the terminal window.

Re: Need 2 Folders Open on Desktop
Howdy. Beadnik! Open a Finder window for the external HD. Move it and resize it so there is room for a 2nd folder next to it or under it or above it. Then open the other folder and move and resize it so both appear side-by-side or over and under. Mac will remember the positions of these windows. The trick for it to remember is to open a window, change it, immediately close it, then reopen. Trick. Open a Finder window using the Finder icon on the Dock. Change it to a location and size you like and immediately close it. Then open it again. The trick is that you can then press the Command key (?) and click the mouse arrow on a different drive in the Sidebar and that drive window will open as a 2nd window. Arrange/move/resize it, close it, do the Command click again and you have a fast way to have to windows open, in separate Desktop locations, at the same time. You can also determine which window opens when you click the Finder icon on the Dock. Go to Finder then choose Preferences. The Finder Preferences dialog opens. Click General icon and in the New Finder windows show: popup, pick what you want. Denver Dan p.s. Bead-nik??? As in beads????

Re: Need 2 Folders Open on Desktop
If you are attempting to copy and/or transfer files from one place to another, then have you tried Finder? You can do a right click and open a second Finder and then drag/drop between different folders/drives/volumes etc. I use it all the time and it works well.

Re: Need 2 Folders Open on Desktop
In Finder, you should be able to press ¡°command-n¡± to open as many Finder windows as necessary. I do this all the time, with both windows set to the ¡°panel¡± view so it¡¯s very easy to navigate to the appropriate folder for each window.

Howdy.
A bunch of Bug fixes, as usual with updates.
A very visible Siri Opt In screen during first access after update.
Apple was criticized for recording users' Siri requests then using the
recordings to improve Siri but not telling users of this.
You can open the Siri panel in System Preferences and in Siri History
you can Delete Siri & Dictation History from Apple servers as your
option.
New Emojis.
AirPod Pro support.
New things in Photos app including a new Metadata feature (in Photos
under the View menu).

Catalina Search, Find, Spotlight Oddness
Howdy.
I'm on macOS X 10.15.1 Catalina. Yesterday evening I updated from
macOS X 10.15 to 10.15.1.
This morning I tried some searches using Command f (Find).
The Spotlight indexing was suddenly including in search results a slew
of files in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. Search
had not done that ever before.
For Mac newbies, the tilde (~/Library) character represents your Home
Account Library folder and not the other two Library folders.
The MobileSync/Backups folder is where the Mac keeps Backups of mobile
devices like iPhone and iPad. The subfolder names are gobbledegook and
no help in manually locating something.
Questions.
Is this something new?
Is it a Bug ?
Should MobileSync be added to the Exclude list in Time Machine panel?
