Since upgrading to Lion, my time machine backups are failing - error message: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Jackie Scanlon's Time Caps/Jacqueline Drabczynska's MacBook.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1). Any ideas?
Since upgrading my Macbook to Lion, the time machine backups are failing - error message: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Jackie Scanlon's Time Caps/Jacqueline Drabczynska’s MacBook.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1)." I have rebooted the TIme Capsule and it worked OK, but don't want to do that every time. Any suggestions? Thanks
Any new info on this?
I had the exact same problem and went crazy and spent a hecka lot of time trying to deal with my brand new 2TB Time Capsule and almost brand new MacBook Pro. Then I thought I fixed it...and I tried SO MANY things, I don't really know what did it...except taking out any apostrophe's in names of stuff that Apple puts in there...BUT...now it's back.
Grrr...

For the past several days, I have been getting this message during backups:
Time Machine could not complete the back up. The backup disk image "Volumes/Data/bhoppy2's iMac.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error-1). When I click on the 'help' icon on the message, it reverts to a blank page, and I cannot find anything online regarding the term 'sparsebundle.' In addition, I cannot access previous backups any longer.

I am getting a Time Machine backup error "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Extreme.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1)."
Then a Finder window pops up with the backup directory in it. When I open it I see all the backups that were completed successfully and then the one there is simply always shows the data and .inProgress. I thought that maybe if I could delete the one that is perpetually in progress it would start a new one and run fine, but I won't let me delete it.Reboot the TC.. or go to the 5.6 utility.. and disconnect all users.. to force it to reconnect.

While backing up to Time Machine, I receive this message: time machine error says: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Apple ’s iMac G5.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).

That message is caused by several reasons. Read the Pondini's site to fix the problem > http://pondini.org/TM/C17.html -
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.

HELP! time machine error - sparsebundle could not be accessed (error -1)
my time machine cannot do backups anymore. Keep getting the same error message:
sparsebundle could not be accessed (error -1)
anyone out there know how to fix?Standard message and second most common error here.
Look at the "More Like This" on the right.
Simply power cycle the TC will usually fix it.
See C17 for more info.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
C12 is the most common problem.. btw.. and is fixed also with a power cycle.
Power Cycle means.
Make sure the disk is not spinning. You hand can feel the vibration of the disk.
Pull out the power cord.. (since there is no power switch).. count to 10 to allow capacitors to drain.. Plug in the power cord. -
I have been using Time Machine on a Time Capsule to back up my 2 MacBook Pros. Recently, the one running Lion started giving me this error: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/<computername>.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).

I am unable to complete a backup and I get this message The backup disk image “/Volumes/Ana M. Hernandez, DO's Time/Ana M. Hernandez, DO.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). I have tried to find help but I can't find it in the apple site. I'm not very techy at troubleshooting and don;t want to dlo anything that will worsen the problem without advice. Thank you.
Reboot the Time Capsule.. Lion has terrible networking issues with the TC and has simply forgotten where it is.
Check C17 for some other issues.. there is some other things that cause it. And you can do a disconnect all users if you have the right utility.

I keep getting the message "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Donald Baker's Time Capsul/Donald Baker’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). does anyone know what this means? My time capsule refuses to back up.

My time capsule hasn't been working for months now. Finally got around to looking into the problem. Have tried looking on forums -- most solutions point to Pondini.org. I've tried #17, which is related to my specific error with no avail (including using Airport Utility 5.6 to disconnect all users).
I have also tried moving (instead of deleting) my old sparsebundle into a temporary folder on the Time Capsule to "hide it" to attempt to create a new sparsebundle: while I have managed to get Time Machine to create a new one (albeit after many, many attempts), once it creates a new one, it doesn't seem to say that anything has been backed-up AND it cannot seem to access the "new" sparsebundle, giving me the error: "The backup disk image “XYZ.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1)."
