Time Machine help
Having this issue with Time Machine:
  Is there a way to get Time Machine to delete older backups to make room for new ones? I thought that it did this automatically, but apparently not.

it doesnt delete old ones until it gets to a certain time, the only way i could see is that you could maybe make an image of the current backup drive, put that somewhere then delete everything on the backup drive and then start a new backup, and if you every need to go really far back you can just restore the images of the backup disks you previously made, tedious i know but i guess thats what you have to do. Or you could just buy a bigger hard drive, they are fairly cheap these days

But if I let it keep going, even with the errors, when it reaches the amount of time needed, it will start to delete the old backups when attempting to make a new backup?
