How To Use Time Machine On Mac

[@maureentaphouse5206]

Thank you That is the simplest CLEAR step by step instructions I've seen and I've watched quite a few. It is exactly what a first time user needs to just take that first scary step and I include myself in there.

Do I need an external drive for Time Machine??? It's not on the cloud? I don't get it, what's the point? You might as well just plug in a memory stick and move all your folders over.

Thank you so much for all this hard work. I have a question, I had backed up by files using TM and after they were backed up, I decided to delete as much as I could from my computer because I wanted to regain some space on my computer, but after doing so and emptying my trash can, I went back to my external hard drive but I noticed that many of the folders I have deleted on my computer, became like "ghost" files, with a little thing to restore the files but it didn't work. My question is, can I delete files from my computer and after doing so, will I lose everything or will my files remain backed up on my external hard drive? And, are these files had, lost forever? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you very much. Really appreciate your work. I am relatively new to Apple. Just received a message that my latest Time Machine backup could not be completed, as my backup SSD drive is full. I was under the impression that older files would be automatically deleted from my external drive in order to make room for later ones. Is there a setting adjustment that I might have missed? I don't want to continuelly delete files myself to make room for updated ones.

Time machine does not allow me to add more RAM or upgrade my HDD...

[@daviddahl8562]

I got all the to the end step by step I have the newest version of the Mac mini 2020 Monterey just purchased it not to long ago My external hard drive is
WD 1TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive HDD, USB 3.0 WDBUZG0010BBK-WESN, Black. Got the three folder formated and backed up and that did take a long time. At the end of the video you said I should be able to click on the folder I named it time machine When I try to drag and drop from my desktop folder it doesn't work it just flies back to its orgin. How do I fix that

[@joimh941234]

[@Rekonised]

clicking on the arrows in time machine don't work is there anything I can do to fix this?

[@IsaiahManning-jw5uu]

Does This Work

[@josephingrassia9888]

Excellent

[@kathleenlynch6058]

I don't see the file you said would be created? I see an image of the drive. HOW can I tell if Time machine is working? I can see the white light flashing. I bought the drives at Apple couple of years ago never knew how to use them, So they would get "lost" but now I have found them again I want to upgrade my iOS so I need to back up, I did NOT see the controls shown at the top video.

[@nateboxer]

Go to system preferences, click Time Machine, then check "Show Time Machine in menu bar"

[@webrep2712]
