Could that read " . . . could not access . . ."?  If so, try repairing your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If not, or if that doesn't help, see #A1 there. Use the TM Buddy widget it details to copy and post the messages here.

  • From Nabil Houlika Germany. Please help me by answering the following questions. The Time Capsule suddenly went dead. What should I do? Is there a way to put it "ON" again??

    Yesterday the time capsule light went off. All efforts to put it on again failed. All electric connections are in good order and working perfectly. Please help me.

    Hi again,
    I called them this morning. Admits my allergies and sneezing I was able to talk to them.
    They will replace it with basically no questions asked.
    I guess also having a MBP under AppleCare also helped too as the case is registered under that.
    They gave me a few options.
    The could take my credit card number as insurance and send me a new one and them I send them my dead one back, or I could take it into an Apple Store for a replacement there. The problem is that I have data on there that I want to maintain, so they said take it to the Apple Store or an Apple Service provider and they would handle the transfer.
    I don't have an Apple Store in my city, but have a Service Provider that I know that could do the transfer for me, but I kinda want to do it at the Apple Store because maybe then they would give me a new one instead of another w year tombstone.
    So I need to weigh my options.
    I'll let you know further what happens.
    P.S. my serial number was not in the range listed, but that didn't seem to make a difference. I think the key is to be courteous, respectful and friendly.

  • I am trying to update Mac software. but each time I download Compressor, I get a message that the update cannot be saved because it may have been corrupted. What should I do?

    When I download software updates, I continually get the message "The update “Compressor 1.2.1” can’t be saved.The update could not be expanded and verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."  What do I need to do? This seems to be blocking other software updates.

    By twice, I mean is there at least two copies of the same Time Machine data?  Backing up several times a day with Time Machine does not yield two distinct separate restorable sources.  Only one is made.

  • HT203390 when I try and sync my ipad 2 with my new XPS laptop i get a message that says "attempting to copy to the disk os failed." what should I do to sync my ipad?

    when I try synching my ipad 2 with my xps laptop i get the following message. "Attempting to copy to the disk os failed." How do I resolve the problem?

    It would be useful to you if they had a different name, but the computer knows they are different. Create separate sync playlists for each device and go to the Music tab when it is connected and specify which playlist should be used for the sync.

  • Sometimes my phone does not make its usual noise when I wake it or put it to sleep what should I do?

    When I wake the iphone 4 up it makes the wake up click noise and then other times it doesn't and then when I touch the button to make it go to sleep it makes the turn off click noise and then other times it doesn't - how do I fix this? as it's only been doing it for the last 3 weeks or so and nothings happened to the phone so I have no idea whats going on.....

    How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.

  • Purchased a new Macbook Pro 13". I used migration assistant to transfer. I can't backup to time capsule.  I am getting on error The backup disk image "/Volumes/Herb's Time Capsul/Herb MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 17).  Help

    Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the page that opens.
    Select the System keychain in the list of keychains in the sidebar of the window. If you don't see the list, click the down-arrow icon below the sidebar.
    Then select Passwords in the Category list at lower left. Click the Kind heading in the list of keychain items to arrange it by Kind.
    Locate the AirPort Disk Password with the name of your Time Capsule. Double-click the item and check the box marked Show Password in the inspector window that opens. You'll be prompted for the administrator login password. Make a note of the AirPort password, then close the inspector window and delete the item.
    Also delete any other AirPort DIsk Password items for that same Time Capsule, which may have had a different name in the past.
    Quit Keychain Access and try again to back up.

  • HT3275 What if my error message is the following:  The backup disk image "/Volumes/********'s Time Capsul/****'s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use. (I have redacted the name of the computer with asterixes)

    What if my error message is the following:  The backup disk image “/Volumes/********'s Time Capsul/****’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use. (I have redacted the name of the computer with asterixes)

    This is a complex procedure.  
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a minute or two
    Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
    This will fix the issue 98% of the time. If you are in the unlucky 2% category, more help is here from Pondini, the Time Machine guru:
    The Backup disk image ... sparsebundle ... is already in use.

    SeoulTom (Coyner)

    Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time
    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Count to ten
    Plug the power cord back into the Time Capsule
    Wait a few minutes, then try a backup again
    Check to make sure that you are running firmware 7.6.4 on the Time Capsule

  • I received this error message when trying to use my time capsule.  MacBook Air.sparsebundle is already in use.  What does this mean?

    I received this error message when trying to use my time capsule.  Macbook Air.sparsebundle already is use.  What does this mean?

    First, restart the MacBook Air and the Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this solves the problem.

  • Just installed new Time Capsule, wifi now very slow, what amI doing wrong?

    Just installed new Time Capsule, wifi now very slow, what am I doing wrong?

    It's possible the reason it seems so slow, is that a backup might be in progress - and since it's the first backup everything on the disk is something that Time Machine is backing up and is being transferred across the WiFi at the same time as you're trying to use your Internet. So you're competing with Time Machine data flying across your WiFi along with your internet stuff. So if this is indeed what is happening (look at Time Machine to see if a backup is in progress), either pause the backup to a more convienent time or live with the slowness till the backup is done this first time, and after that you probably will not notice the "competition" on your WiFi. I like to schedule the Time Machine backups to late at night rather than once an hour (the default), but that schedule should be whatever you feel most comfortable with.
    There is a handy free utility called "TimeMachine Editor" that you can get from http://timesoftware.free.fr/timemachineeditor/ that lets you create your own customized backup schedule. You can create several schedules to fit your working conditions. I've used it for several years with never a problem. I don't have anything to do with the company - just a happy user.
    Good luck...

  • IMac 10.5.8 ... Time machine died. Bought new Time Capsule2TB. Ordered 10.6 ... Not recommended to install 10.6 w/o prebackup ... Current utility for airport won't do with the new Time Capsule. ... What to do?

    iMac 10.5.8 ... Time machine died. Bought new Time Capsule2TB. Ordered 10.6 ... Not recommended to install 10.6 w/o prebackup ... Current utility for airport won't do with the new Time Capsule. ... What to do?

    You are in the typical catch22.. you cannot use the TC without setting it up.. you cannot set it up without Lion.. so you can install the latest utility.
    Do you have any reasonably current iOS devices.. they can run the iOS version of the utility.. that will allow you to set up the TC.
    Or invite a friend with a laptop running at least Lion
    Or take the TC back and get a plain USB hard drive and backup to that.

  • 2146827284Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space

    Hi Experts,
    I am getting below error when Exporting data from my one web application to the Excel 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 ,

    • To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
    • To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to.
    The disk space is 30 GB free, I have cleared all the temp files, increased the virtual memory & internet temp files size to max but no luck

    You want to use this one here - MMC
    comexp.msc /32
    THAT will launch the MMC process
    as 32 bit then you'll the Microsoft Excel Application.
    Right Click -> Properties.
    What I did at this point was to select the Identity tab and then select "The Interactive User" (the default was "The launching user").  My app pool was already running as "LocalSystem".  I believe by running it as the Interactive User now that it
    has the right permissions to save workbooks.
    Everything worked after this.
    This was a tough one!

  • I want to save and load the swf-file to a local disk of any user. Possible?

    Hi, It's good to see you.
    I am a developer in Web Flash Game.( I use AS3.0 )
    I want to save and load the swf-file to a local disk of any user,
    Because I want to decrease the time for loading a flash movie from site.
    Is it possible?
    If it is possible, I hope the swf-file has only one loading from site and
    it will be loaded from a local disk of any user after that.
    (I know a concept of Internet temporary file.
    I want to know the other techniques of only using AS3.0.)

    Hi,
    I have similar problem. We are producing a 70 meg browser based game and would like the user to be able to cache the game to avoid reloading the game the next time. Can this be done if the user authorise the save? If, so how? We don't care where the game is cached .
    Can we prompt the user to download the file by providing a link from within the SWF application?
