I used TM for years to back up my old '07 Macbook onto an external HD. When I tried to back up my "new to me" '11 Macbook Pro, it failed, saying there was no room.
I know I can unlock files and individually delete old backups, but I have the settings to purge old backups automatically when it runs out of room. I have read that TM will not recognize a new computer for it's automatic settings- how can I set it up so that this is the recognized, trusted computer now? I would like for it to delete old backups automatically like it used to. Thank you!
