    How to transfer a 500GB Time Machine folder

    Hey all, first post! A few months ago I bought a 2TB RAID drive to be my new Time Machine home. I tried to transfer my Time Machine backups from my old drive and it kept stalling out.

    Protect 10.9.5 from CVE-2016-4631 & 4632?

    According to Apple's information (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206903), they patched ImageIO exploits CVE-2016-4629 and CVE-2016-4630 on Mavericks.

    So I'm using the Disk Utility to erase free space on my Macbook (running Mavericks). I had 77GB available on my 750GB drive before I started this.
