Can not activate a older sparsebundle on my time capsule

I have a Time Capsule of the size of 1 TB. I used to be able to backup my 1 TB iMac to the Time Capsule. I tried to use a second disk as bacup for a while, so that I wouldn't have to overwrite what I had stored on my Time Capsule. When I now try to backup to my Time Capsule, I get a message that I can not activate Time Capsule. I tried to alter the name, of the sparsebundle, then I could backup, but since the old sparsebundle was of more than 500 GB, I did not have enough size free for a backup. I've tried to delete the sparsebundle, but because of a file that is in use (sic) that can't be done. I can not access the old sparsebundle, so I can not delete surtain parts of it. How can I delete the old sparsebundle. Thank you for any tips1

Thank you Bob!
I have tried to delete it a many times by just draging it to the trach. I always got the same answer: "can't be deleted because 'bands' is in use. As I used the tip you gave me, (the gear shaped icon), the same thing happend. But, the other option was to see the contecst of 'band'. Then I got more than 65000 parts (each 8MB in size). These could be deleted! I then chose to delete all of them. It took a while, but in about an hour all of it was gone, and I could finally delete the (by now) emty sparsebundle. So even though I couldn't do exactely as you said, it led the way, and now my problem is solved!

I can not activate my iPhone 4. All time "no service"

Hello, I can not activate my iPhone 4 (after oficial unlock) with any SIM card. All time "no service" (AT&T or MTS Ukraine SIM card). Update using iTunes does not help me. The iPhone IMEI 012846003093186. Can you activate my iPhone?

Restore using iTunes does not help, it may be because the iPhone first unlocked but not activated before. iTunes gives me the message "Your request couldn't be processed.
We're sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later "after recovery. How to activate after unlock?

Can not activate an older version of PS or get support for it

I reintalled photoshop 7 on my new win 7 computer and try to activate the software and i get the error message
Your serial number has already been registered. Products can only be registered once.
Tried to get help on chat and was told there is nothing she can do. I paid a lot of money for this
software even if it is OLD and this is the crap I get...IT IS A LEGAL purchase from my college class
10 yrs ago but the software if still good and viable software but NOT USELESS since i can not reactivate.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO BUY NEW SOFTWARE ??????
Disgusted with ADobe support

Photoshop 7 did not have any activation.
Now, the error you give is about registration - which is optional, and you only have to do once.
If that is not the correct wording for the error, please let us know the exact wording of the error you see.
Also Photoshop 7 is so old that it probably won't run on modern OSes, partly because it comes from the days before Terabyte drives (and thus hits limitations in the OS when reporting disk sizes).

Can I activate the ethernet ports (routing) of Time Capsule "joining" an existing non-Apple wireless network ?

Hello,
I have a DSL modem that is also a WIFI router as my main WIFI network from room A. In room B, I have a TC wirelessly joining the existing WIFI network (not creating a new one). That works fine, I have one SSID, and I can wirelessly access the TC disks and backup my Mac on my TC.
Now, I would like to connect a wired device (with on WIFI) to the ethernet port of my TC. Unfortunately, the ethernet ports of the TC don't seem to be "activated" as they do not have internet on them.
More precisely, I'd like to connect a GE Cordless Skype Phone Model# 31591 (http://www.gephones.com/products/skype/dect-6-0-expandable-digital-cordless-phon e-with-skypetm.html) that connects to a router via Ethernet. I'm aware that I could simply connect it to the DLS router, but that's not what I want... Is there any way to activate the ethernet ports of the TC while in "join" mode ? Or do I really have to buy a Airport Express to create my main network and then extend it ?!?

Thanks, the reason why I asked again, is because you told me to start another thread with the specifics of the device I want to connect, so I did
Not a big deal, and it is easy to become confused.....but to be clear about this
Your question.....
is there a way I can connect my Bluray player to the TC ?
My Answer.....
Please start a new post for that. Tell us the make and model number of the player and whether you plan to connect using wireless or Ethernet.
so I tried to creat the main WIFI network with a first-generation Airport Express M9470LL/A (802.11b/g, no "draft N" or "n" support) and the TC wouldn't extend it either, is it too old/not supported
Unfortunately, the "extend" setup will only work with "n" devices. The older Express does not have a setting to "Allow this network to be extended", so the Time Capsule cannot pick up the signal.
I'm not sure what else to suggest other than what I already have. I'm assuming that you do not want to buy another new Airport Express.

Can not activate FaceTime. Have tried several times with Apple ID and still won't activate. Using iPad 3.

I am trying to use FaceTime and the iPad won't let met activate with my Apple ID. I have reset the network connection and that did not help.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

I'm not that familiar with how FaceTime works. I know how to set It up but I don't use it. I just know that you can't activate in the UAE. I believe that you can activate in any country that permits it's use. Whether you will need a new ID or not, I can't confirm.
You can Google this and get all sorts of articles on workarounds. Apparently if you set up a VPN you can use it in the UAE. Here is one article that I found.

Tap and hold one of those apps until you get a red circle with white minus sign in it at top left.
Tap the red circle in every app on the bottom. This closes active apps.

I have recently bought iPhone 5. I am using a BSNL post paid 3G sim. I can not activate my BSNL 3G services in my new iPhone 5. Please Help.

I have recently bought iPhone 5. I am using a BSNL post paid 3G sim. I can not activate my BSNL 3G services in my new iPhone 5. Though they were perfectly fine previously in my old handset i.e. Nokia Lumia 800. Please Help. How do I activate BSNL 3G services in my iPhone 5.

Since BSNL is not a supported carrier, you need to input Correct APN settings for Cellular data and enable 3G
Settings >> General >> Network >> Cellular Data Network.
Check with BSNL website/Wireless Customer care/Engineering. You can use Google as well. Cheers
