Can't load disk image when doing first backup

Hi
I've had to erase my Time Capsule's Time Machine sparesebundle as it had a corruption. And now I am trying to do a first backup again.
Unfortunately, I keep getting an error message telling me the machine can't create a disk image; I have no idea why. I have tried changing my computer name in case that makes a difference (but I don't see why as the previous name worked fine for a year or more).
Since trying to start this new process, I have noticed that sometimes in the TM preference pane that the TC name is given a Time Capsule-1 as opposed to its normal name of Time Capsule.
Below is the log captured from the TM widget.

Any help is of course so very welcome.
Thanks in advance
Graeme

I tried to start the backup again, after logging out and back in again (as I had done several times before), but this time the sparsebundle loaded ok and the backup started properly.
So there's no need for anyone to spend any time on me.

  • When doing catalog backup get message " your system is low on disk space, and elements organizer can

    When doing catalog backup get message " your system is low on disk space, and elements organizer cannot perform the operation.  If create a catalog with 20 pictures backup works OK.  backing up to a 1TB external drive.  Have 16705 pictures in catalog.  Total disk space for pictures is 192 MB.  Why am I getting message?

    kdrozzen a écrit:
    Total disk space for pictures is 192 MB. 
    Do you really mean MB (megabytes) or GB (gigabytes) ?
    Even if its GB, the free space may be enough, depending on your files size, especially with videos or raw files.
    When you start the backup process, it first shows you the total size of the catalog.

  • Why You Can't Load Some Images On Your 5th Generation ipod

    Why You Can't Load some images on your 5th Gen ipod.
    - OK here is the scoop: I could not load some images on my 5th gen ipod and yet other images would load no problemo. Images were JPEG, jpg, PSD (all approved image types for the 5th gen ipod)
    - After doing several tests like restoring the software on the ipod, reinstalling itunes I still could not find the problem, then I noticed as soon as I would open an image in Photoshop CS2/CS3 that was otherwise loading on the ipod no problemo, when I would save that same image in Photoshop the image would not load in my ipod.
    - So after playing with several settings in Photoshop I found the problem:
    -In Photoshop go to File handling:
    -Image Previews:
    - And click on:Never Save
    You do not want to save a photo with a "Image Preview" when saving any file type that you want to load on your 5th gen ipod. it would seem the ipod will not accept any images with a "Image Preview" embedded into the file, JPEG, PSD, jpg etc.
    I hope this will help some of you because I just waisted a whole day to find this out the hard way.
    Cheers,
    Mac Fans
    BTW I use a Mac Pro/Intel OSX Tiger 10.4.9

    Also I just found out when you are saving an image in Photoshop uncheck the " Embed Color Profile" box.
    So do not embed your images with a "Preview" and DO NOT embed a "Color Profile" when saving images in Photoshop or the images MAY not load on your ipod.
    Have Fun

  • FileVault can't copy disk image?

    Hi Folks,
    I wanted to enable FileVault on my computer but it keeps failing when I try to initiate it. I get a message saying that it can't copy disk image. What can I do about that?
    I won't be back online until Friday so if you have any more questions please be patient!
    Thanks,
    Lizzy

    Hi Lizzy Scott;
    No programming, Linux or other funky stuff required.
    If you go to Lock Your Data with Disk Image, you will find the directions on how to do it.

  • Time Machine creates new disk image when backing up but files not visible

    When I back up my files (daily) to tan external drive TM creates a new disk image (named laptop) on my desktop (in addition to the image for the external drive named TIme Machine Backups). When I click on the new disk image while it's backing up I see a list of recent backups. However the disk image disappears after completing the back up and the files do not appear in the Star Wars screen - only old back-ups from 2009. How can I access the newest backups?

    A disk image labeled Time Machine Backups resides permanently on the desktop
    Right-click it, and select +Get Info.+ See what the path is (after +Disk image+ near the top of the General section).
    Also the amounts for Capacity and Used.
    as a consequence of the repair a sparse bundle (Zero KB) folder was created.
    No. That may have been created by the new backup, though.
    Also a new "lost +found" folder was created containing several ".emix" files.
    Those are email files.
    Net, net - same basic problem, can't see the newest backups in the Star Wars screen.
    I suspect they're in the disk image.
    Do you have any external HDs connected?
    Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • Why do I get a grid over my image when I first open it up?

    Why do I get a grid over my image when I first open it up?  I've looked in my preferences and can't find a way to have this issue stop.

    Are you saying that if you turn off the Grid, it reappears the next time you open an image?  That is obviously wrong, and tjhe setting is in Preferences as you surmised, so if that is what is happening, I'd try deleteing the preferences file to reset it.  (Shift Alt Ctrl while you lauch Photoshop)

  • Can't mount disk image error message for TC

    After a couple of frustrating days trying to get a back-up to my TC to work (time wasted waiting for the process to fail each time - Can't mount disk image error type messages etc) I finally got onto this forum and find quite a few people sharing my problem! I wont wait as long next time I have a problem to enter the discussions, tho I must admit I don't get many problems with my Apple gear.
    There doesn't appear to be a solution in the threads, but at least I am not alone!
    How long before and will Apple fix this?

    DiskImageMounter.app is in /System/Library/CoreServices/.

  • Can I load photos stored on a pc backup hardrive onto my Mac IPhoto?

    Can I load photos stored on a pc backup hardrive onto my Mac IPhoto?

    You can indeed.  Simply drag the folder containing the images (or the images themselves) from the hard drive to the iPhoto icon in the dock (same one you click on to open iPhoto.  This will cause iPhoto to start importing whatever you drag in.
    Two suggestions:
    Have a backup of your current library before you do the import just in case iPhoto encounters a corrupt file during import which might damage your existing library of images:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    Import the images in small batches if there are many of them.  That way if there is an error with one of the images during import you can easily identify where the bad image is coming from.
    Cheers.

  • What can I do to create a disk image when I continue to get the prompt "permission denied"?  I have run the permission repair, restarted the computer and nothing changes.

    I want to create a disk image for important information.  I continue to get "Permission Denied" even though I have run the disk utility for repair and verify disk permissions.  Is there a solution for this?

    I had same problem as I was trying to build a windows iso following the bootcamp instructions (last evening).  I learned you cannot create a disk image at root due to changes in the operating system made by apple.  As a user (even an admin user) you can only create a disk image below root (such as in your desktop).  Any attempt to creat an image at root will return permission denied.
    The Apple Disk Utility (on three macs I have tried so far) defaults to creating an iso image at the root.  If you tell it to create the image - you immediately get a permission denied error.
    None of the iso creation instructions I have found on apple site so far speak to this. 

  • IWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 can't load iPhoto images in media browser

    Ever since yesterday, my iWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 have been experiencing problems loading iPhoto 09 images in the media browser. I have no problems loading my audio files, movie files, and widgets, but when it comes to iPhoto picture files, the system just hangs. Luckily, it doesn't crash; it just says "Loading iPhoto images" forever.
    I'm guessing that the problem is with iPhoto 09, because the media browser has no problems loading my Aperture picture files.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I can get iWeb, Pages, and Keynote to load my iPhoto pics in the media browser?
    Thanks!

    1. Quit iPhoto.
    2. Go to your Pictures Folder (or where ever you have your Library) and find the iPhoto Library there (Your Donor Library).
    3. Right Click on it, and from the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder window will open and the Library will be exposed.
    4. Find the following files
    AlbumData.xml
    AlbumData2.xml
    and move them to the desktop.
    5. Close up the Library and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild those files which are key to sharing.
    Then restart the other apps and see does that help.
    By the way: where is your Library? On the Start Up Disk? On an external?
    Regards
    TD

  • Can't burn disk image

    Hello there. I made a disk image with iDVD 6 and when I try to burn it with Disk Utility it just seems to hang and go nonwhere. How do I burn the image in Toast or in any other program? Thanks.

    Ok...
    I've seen many people post that link to "how to burn a DVD from a disc image" using disk utility. I must be doing something wrong because it's not working for me. I know the image is good, because I've transferred it to a PC and it burns just fine. I also know my Super Drive is OK because a burn directly from iDVD works fine, too.
    Here's what I notice about burning from Disk Utility:
    Sometimes, the burn completes but fails in the Verify stage. Other times I get a message to the effect "cannot retry." Which it is doesn't seem to matter much, although I have even seen the "cannot retry" message even on a burn that looks "visually" to be the right length. I realize I should have written this message down but it slipped my mind at the time and I am reluctant to create any more "guaranteed" coasters.
    All of the coasters have one thing in common: there is an inner ring that is burned on my iDVD burns and not burned on my Disk Utility burns. The coasters with the "complete" burns mount and play on my Macs. Even the incomplete burns mount and play, as far as they were burned. They do not mount (i.e. show up as blank) on PCs and will not play in DVD players.
    So, there must be something about the procedure I am following to burn these disks in Disk Utility that is just not right. For the life of me, I can't figure it out. I've stared at these links quite a bit and just not been able to see what I'm doing wrong.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93006
    I saw a post about this, specifically about how a guy spent a bunch of time on the phone with Apple, and all they could tell him was to contact the DVD player manufacturer. Then he found some magical step that nobody mentions that makes it all work. Unfortunately, I closed Safari before printing it, and can't find it now. The subject, I think, was "Apple Support Hung Up on Me."

  • Can't open Disk Images

    For the past couple of weeks, I've noticed that I'm no longer able to mount Disk Images on my iBook. When I try, I get this message. Of course the name of the image file changes to whatever image it is I'm using.
    Anyone know what may be causing this?

  • Can't create disk image with Disk Utility

    I just upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion and i can no longer create disk images with Disk Utility in order to store encrypted data.
    The operation fails and ends with the post :
    Failed to create disk image, error:
    hdiutil: create failed - Resource busy
    I use three Macs with Mountain Lion, and this problem occurs only on one of the three.
    I check the disk, repair permissions and did a reset of the PRAM. I even did a reinstall of Mountain Lion, without success.
    But curiously, using a new user account, I was able to create a first disk image. But no one after.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
