Problems with disk image in Time Capsule

I've created a disk image on my timecapsule to use as extra storage. Since the disk image won't automatically mount on my desktop, I have created an alias to a folder saved inside that disk image. When I open the alias, this mounts the disk image and I can view or write files as I wish. So far so good.
When however I acces the timecapsule through finder, I can see the disk image file (.dmg), but when I click on it, it says "Connection Failed" and that it cannot acces my timecapsule.
I want to share acces to my timecapsule, but from the other computer I cannot use that alias, and I have to access the timecapsule conventionally through finder, but I also get the "Connection Failed" error. How is it possible that I get a message that the connection failed, while I am able to connect through my "alias trick" on my own computer? Moreover, all other functions such as wireless printing work fine through TC and the light is green. I have the impression it may have something to do with how a disk image works which I don't quite understand: Can you open a .dmg file to write in it?
Does anyone have any ideas how this might work? Thanks!

Real Player was the culprit.

I get an error mess when trying to complete backup "The backup disk image "/Volumes Time Capsul MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).

When trying to use my time machine got an error message "Time Machine could not complete the backup.
The backup disk image “/Volumes/ Time Capsul/ MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).
Any ideas?

I have not found a long-term solution (fix), but in my case the volume where the Time Machine backup should occur usually is mounted on the desktop but not as a shared volume (incidated as a drive with the people holding hands superimposed over the drive icon). If I drag the drive to the trash (unmount it), the next time Time Machine is scheduled to run, it completes successfully.

The unplugging was of power, if you were unplugging ethernet .. that will not do anything.
The issue is explained here.

If a restart of the TC is not adequate you maybe in the 2% that has other issues.. please try a full network restart in correct order.. with everything off.. modem.. then TC.. then clients.. with 2min gap to allow modem and TC to finish boot process.

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

HELP- what does this mean- time machine error- backup disk image "/Volumes/time Capsule/ cheryl lynott's MacBook.sparsebundle" is already in use?

The last date of my back up was 10/4- keeps saying The backup disk image "/backup disk image "/Volumes/time Capsule/ cheryl lynott's MacBook.sparsebundle" is already in use?

HELP -- what does this mean -- .......
Often, this error can be corrected by pulling the power on the Time Capsule, waiting a few minutes, and powering the Time Capsule back up.

Problems with Full restore using Time Capsule backup???

For some reason my MacBook Pro recently crapped out completely, and I am trying to do a complete restore of the OS via a full backup I made with using Time Machine onto my Time Capsule disk, but I am running into some problems doing so and I was hoping someone might have some insight as to how I should deal with things at this point...
Here's where things get messy...
- I insert my Mac OS X 10.5 Installation DVD into my Macbook and boot from the drive, and I immediately choose the menu option to 'Restore from Time Capsule Backup'...
- After logging into my Time Capsule and then choosing the proper .sparseimage file to restore from, I click 'continue' and it brings me to the screen where I choose where I want to restore to (which in my case, is the one and only internal HD inside my Macbook Pro)
- The bottom of this window tells me that it's "Calculating space required to restore data..." but it simply hangs at the point with a spinning wheel indicating its still doing the calculating, but never actually presents me with the space required, not does it allow me to click continue to perform the restore?? I've allowed it over an hour to calculate the space required and it still just spins its status wheel...
This is where I am stuck at this point, and I have no idea how to get it to proceed to the next step to allow me to perform the restore??
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I will have no choice but to do a complete reinstall (including all apps and data) if I can't get the backup restored... Thanks!

I had the same problem when installing a new HDD in my Macbook. The solution I found was to reinstall Leopard onto the new HDD from the install CD, then reboot off the install CD once I had done this. I was then able to choose the 'Restore from Time Capsule' option and get my HDD to show up in the window.
A word of warning, once you have reinstalled Leopard and it starts asking you for all you info, as if for the first time to set up your computer, there is an option at the end of that process to restore your data from a Time Capsule backup. While this did restore all my files and so forth, it did not update any of the 'Apple' apps, i.e. iTunes, iPhoto, Quicktime, or the operating system itself, suggesting a 500Mb download via 'Software Update' to update the system. It was faster for me to reboot of the install CD and restore via the process outlines above. That way you get all your system updates included.
Not sure if this is the 'approved' method but it worked for me! The restore process took about 75 minutes for about 100Gb of data from my external backup drive connected to my Macbook via a Firewire cable.
Hope this helps!

Problem with Epson Printer and Time Capsule

I have a new Time Capsule, already gone through first backup etc... I tried to connect my 2 month old Epson RX 680 to the TC via USB. I have tried everything and still cannot print wirelessly. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted both TC and printer, running out of ideas. Any suggestions why I can't print wirelessly?
BTW, works fine with USB from printer directly into macbook pro.

I attempted this routine with my Epson R380 and this did not help. I do have a working HO OfficeJet 6210xi working off Time Machine. I'm wondering if an expert with CUPS can help determine the problem from the logs?

Problem with importing images into time lapse

Hi
I am having problems with importing still images into a time lapse sequence in photoshop and would appreciate any suggestions!
I want to create a time lapse using a sequence of still photographs. All file names are sequentially name/numbered.
I am using the Motion workspace, and have followed all of the instructions available.
Create correct sized new document (film & video).
Create video timeline.
Set frame rate.
Choose 'create new video layer from file'.
Point to first image in the folder where the images are stored.
At this point, no matter what I have tried, I receive this error:
I have tried different sized new documents; tried jpegs and tiffs; tried different frame rates, tried different qualities and sizes of images; tried selecting the last image instead of the first (one recommendation).
If I use the 'Place' command from the file menu (and check the 'image sequence' box) instead of selecting 'Create new video layer' from the layers panel, it loads fine and I can still render the video.
It took me most of a day to discover this workaround, but every other reasonable 'how-to' that I can find says that I should be able to do it by opening files into a new video layer and it seems as though the new video layer option may give me more alternatives.
Anyone have any idea why I could be having these problems?
I have reset Photoshop, deleted the settings file, even reinstalled it. I use 64-bit on windows 7 and even installed the 32-bit to try that, but all with the same result.
Stuart

Unfortunately, yes--I've tried it that way over and over, and every other way I could think of. The files are all in one folder, and I've converted the raw files to both tiffs and jpegs. I even tried converting them to jpegs at the final pixel dimensions. Each folder that I have used only contains one type of file, and they are all part of the same sequence and sequentially numbered. I have even tried renumbering the files with numbers first, numbers last, numbers only, moving underscores. I moved the files from my external hard-drive to the desktop ... I have a lot less hair than I had only a few days ago!
I've looked at a few other tutorials that outline the same sequence of steps, and tried them over and over, and then changing one step at a time to make sure that it was not a single step that caused the problem.
The thing that is really bugging me is that it works fine if I use the different approach of using the place command instead.
Anyway, thanks for all of your time. It's going to be a lot simpler to just stick with 'place' command and I will likely do that, but I tend take things like this as a challenge. I like to know WHY it won't work for me. Sometimes it seems that there is just no logical explanation!

HT201514 The backup disk image "/Volumes/Time Capsule-1/Dullahan Mac mini.sparsebundle" is already in use.

My time capsule cant find its disk to back-up to..I have tryed everything.Need help.. Pinhead

Reboot the TC..
Read C12 and although different C17
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html

Error Message is The backup disk image "/Volumes/Time Capsule/Dave Kuhl's iMac.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).

I got the error message that my Time Capsule "iMac.sparsebundle could not be accessed (error - 1). It backed up fine yesterday. Anyone else have this problem?

If it helps I am getting the same message, I have reported it to Apple and they have someone working on it. Mine stopped backing up after having a new hard drive installed. I can however back up to the same time capsule from my laptop.

Time Machine gives error "The backup disk image '/Volumes/time capsule name/Macbook Pro.sparsebundle' could not be accessed (error -1)."

The backup disk image ... could not be accessed (error -1).

10.5.6: Problems with disk permissions after Time Machine restore

HELP!
This is the second time this is happening to me-- I restored my 10.5.6 system fully from a Time Machine backup, and now the disk permissions, as far as I can tell, are completely screwed up.
I have not turned off my system since the restore, for fear that it won't start up again (as was the case the last time I did this). When I try to repair disk permissions in the Disk Utility app, I get the error message "The underlying task reported failure on exit."
Generally, the system does not have access to certain folders (most, if not all of them, actually).
For example, Safari can't use plugins.
I'm not asking why this is happening, I just want to know what I should do to avoid having to reinstall 10.5.5, update it to 10.5.6, and put all of my files back, because all my settings would be deleted if I chose that option.
I'm not going to turn off my computer until I fix this, because I know it will never startup--
again.
DUN DUN DUN...
So please help me, and thank you kindly,
SeanDaBomb

I repaired permissions, updated prebindings, cleaned user caches and cleaned archived logs almost every single day before I restored my system. I was trying out this theme changer for Leopard that was unable to undo its (ugly) work. I think the problem might be that I restored the system from my 10.5.5 install disk (yes, in the Utilities menu, the Restore From Backup option).
Using a 10.5.5 install disc doesn't matter, as you didn't actually load anything from it, just used it's installer to do the restore from TM.
So you selected a previous backup, from before all the trouble started, right?
My backup drive's condition is alright, so I doubt that I restored corrupted files.
Everything now on your system came from your TM drive.
I'd suggest booting from your Leopard Install disk, and using it's copy of Disk Utility to do a +Repair Disk+ on your internal HD, then a +Repair Permissions.+

Problem with set up airport time capsule and ATT net gear 7550 router

how to set-up airport time capule to work with AT&T Netgear 7550 router. i keep getting an error

Since this is a full router.. simply set the TC to bridge mode..
Plug WAN TC into the LAN of the Netgear.
Highly recommend using ethernet to do setup as well.
Go to airport utility.. and select the TC. If it doesn't appear in the airport utility tell us.
When you click it a summary page will come up.. click edit on the summary.
Go to the network tab and select bridge mode..
Then go to the wireless tab.. you can choose here from a few options.. I recommend create a wireless network. And use a different name to the existing wireless of the Netgear.. use wireless names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. they just work better. Use it for whatever device is going to use the TC to backup.. for internet it doesn't matter if you connect to the netgear or the TC .. whichever is better connection.

Kernel panic with wifi backup to Time Capsule

I have had no problem with wireless backup to Time Capsule until recently when I would consistently get a kernel panic during the backup. Is it a corrupt file? How would I isolate it? Or could it be a directory problem that DiskWarrior would fix? I can mount the backup image on my desktop OK.
I suppose I could erase my backup image on the Time Capsule, but I dont want to lose all that data. And if I did, what is the best way to archive that TIme Capsule backup image?
Thanks for any help.

First, Repair your backups per #A5 in the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.
If that doesn't help, here's a bunch of kernel panic info:
Apple Support - About kernel panic messages
Mac OS X Kernel Panic FAQ
The X Lab - Resolving Kernel Panics
Apple Developer - Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics

If your backups are ok, erasing the drive probably won't help. But to "archive" the backups, see this Apple article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1281
