Are there any firmaware updates for time capsule?

Are there any firmware updates for Time Capsule/Time machine?
I just had a new hybrid (SSD and spinning disk) drive (750 GB) installed on my MacBook Pro and used Boot Kamp to partition it and run Windows xp. Now, my previously working Time Machine won't function. It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use)  preventing the back-up from working properly. When I try and remove and re-install Time Capsule as the disk to back-up to, it still doesn't work. My plan "B" is get a second Time Capsule and dedicate it to the MacBook. But, I fear I'll face the same problem.
When I open to reconfigure Time Machine, the Time Capsule disk is identified as the back-up, but it's also seen in the "available disks to use for back-up" along with with Boot Kamp disk which is part of the new SSD hybrid hard drive just installed. (Remember it's the partitioned part running Windows xp.)
I've unplugged/plugged-in the ethernet internet connection and the power cord many times to no avail. The message still says the sparsebundle is in the way.
Do you think deleting Boot Kamp disk from the list of available hard drives might solve the problem?

TM can only use AFP and only on disks formatted HFS+ (ie Mac Extended Journaled) so it should not bring up a boot camp partition as a possible destination at all .. but I have not done that seutp.
It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use)
That error is well known. It should simply required the TC to be restarted..
That sometimes gets things working where the simple restart won't.
I would recommend using short names, with no spaces and pure alphanumeric. 
That is C9

If you have a more complicated setup.. I would recommend firstly doing a TM reset in the computer.
See A4 in the same reference.
Do a verify then of the sparsebundle on the TC.. A5 but you might need to inherit the old backup if you want to continue an old backup.. A new hard disk will make the TM consider the old backup no longer belongs to the computer.. there is a UUID connection to the actual hard disk used in the backup.
Again read the info in pondini. B5 and B6.
The sparsebundle in use is C12 but there are a number of sparsebundle issues in section C.. C17 is another common issue.
Some of what you have done is not adequate.. eg disconnecting ethernet is not enough.. you need to reboot the TC.

  • Are there any signal boosters for Time capsule wifi?

    I'm getting no wifi reception on my older HP I'm setting up for my kids.

    The AirPort Express can "extend" the wireless signal provided by a Time Capsule.....but before you buy.....move the HP close to the Time Capsule to make sure that it will connect to the wireless network.
    If the HP won't connect correctly near the Time Capsule, it won't connect anywhere else.

    I am frequently unable to join the internet or, if I can, it is exceptionally slow. The ISP says nothing is wrong ontheir end.  Are there any compatibility issues with any ISPs when using Time Capsule and/or iMacs?

    Tried this several times to no avail.  I believe it is the ISP causing the problem...Time Warner.

  • Is there any wifi extender for time capsule?

    Is there any wifi extender compatible with time capsule ?

    You use Airport Utility and configure the Time Capsule's Wireless to allow the network to be extended. It's a checkbox. Configure the Airport Express to Extend an existing network and provide the name of your network and the password to sign into your network. These would have already been configured in the Time Capsule.

    Try to reset the iPod by  pressing the home and sleep button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.

  • Are there any Color Adjustments for Safari?  Printing with Magenta overlays.

    Are there any Color Adjustments for Safari?  When printing the iphone at www.apple.com/iphone/compare-iphones/ the phones have a Magenta Overlay on them.  Tried Firefox and Chrome with same computer, plus a PC to the same printer.  All else prints fine.  Have Intel based iMac, updated to 10.7.5, and using Safari 6.0.1.  I called Canon, and they said it is an issue with Safari.  Any Solutions?  Any way of replacing Safari?  (Recently updated to Lion via software downloads.  No disc.)

    Welcome to Apple....
    Kumusta Ka?  Ma init pa dyan?
    If you're browsing the web and you're internet connection is slow or sometimes dropping, it is normal for Safari to hang or freeze for a little bit until it connects to the site you're trying to view or visit.
    Try this - go to system preferences - network - advance - dns and change your dns server.
    see image below - let me know if na ayos mo na ang internet mo.

    I have updated my iphone 5 with IOS7. Now there is an update 7.0.2 on my cell and the size of update file is showing around 21.0 MB. I tried to update it ITunes but it seems it is downloading the entire IOS. Is there any separate update for the same or I have to download the entire IOS again?

    Well when you download the update with iTunes it will always download the whole new version (in your case 7.0.2) even if its just an bug fix. If you already have 7.0 download the update over-the-air.
    You already wrote that the update is only 21 MB, so its not the whole firmware package of 7.0.2 you get with iTunes.

  • HT1338 are there any more updates to OSX 10.5.8???

    are there any more updates to OSX 10.5.8???

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Apple isn't providing more updates to Mac OS X Snow Leopard because it's a discontinued Mac OS X version. Now, if you have to use plugins as Java or Flash, it's dangerous to continue using them with Leopard, so I recommend you to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard at least > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
