Hello,

I have problem with Time Machines dates older than 2018.

My time line has dates from now (2021) to 2016.
And everything work perfect for me only to 2018 year (include 01.01.2018).
But any older dates (include 31.12.2017) don't work.
They are there on the time line but clicking on them just does nothing.

As I know Time Machine automaticaly removes older dates if there is lack of space on Time Machine drive.
I think it's not my case, but I am not sure. So it's possible.

But the main question is:
Does Time Machine automaticly remove data for older dates, but the dates itself are still on the time line? But it makes no sense. For what I can see those dates while I can't use them anymore?

On the other hand maybe I just do something wrong. But what?

About two weeks ago I changed my Macbook Pro (early 2013) to new M1 Apple Silicon with built in OS Big Sure.
Maybe it has something to do with my problem?

By Time Machine I recovered my old Mac to my new one M1. It seemed everything was perfectly fine until now while I need to find something form 2016, but suddenly I found out I can't.

Of course I got all Big Sure updates.

For any help great thanks in advance.

Best Regards
