Any chance the first disk image was still mounted on your desktop when you put its .img file into the trash?
Thanks! I think you nailed it!
I had tried playing from the disk image with DVD player first and it played fine, but then I decided to do more edits so I trashed the .img file. I forgot that I had mounted it. When I tried to burn the second disk image, Disk Utility must have still used the first image, even though it had been trashed, because it was still mounted.
However, the icon showing when something is mounted was not there.....until after I had made the final image and then I could eject the mounted disk whose path on DU showed that the .img file was indeed in the trash.
Do you think that would have made its name change to 'disk 5' and would that have caused the burn to stop just 3min short of the end?

Media errors - disk image

Cracked open a brand new package of dvds. tried to burn from dvd SP twice now, getting errors, basically trashed two dvds.
As I recall, you can burn a disk image to hard drive then burn that to dvd so tried dumping everything in a burn folder, Audio and Video TS folders and the disk image as well, tried burning that and got this error code 0x8002006E.
is there not some way to check the disk before burning and creating coasters? I forgot how to do that.
btw, the coaster disks are Verbatim DVD -R 16x

If you can save and play a good disk image, then iMovie and iDVD have done their job. The problem isn't there.
Burn errors can be cause by a number of things: not enough boot drive free disk space (should have about 20GB-25GB), poor disk media (many on this forum recommend Verbatim, HP, Maxell), too high burn speed (4x is about right), conflicting plug-ins, defective burner, etc. Sometimes if your menu buttons are outside the TV safe viewing zone, that can cause problems. Chapter markers less than 2 seconds away from the beginning or end of your movie, or within a transition, have been known to cause problems. Check also to make sure that your menu content does not exceed 15 minutes duration.
The easiest thing to start with would first be to make sure that you have sufficient disk space. Next would be to change disk brands and see if that solves it. Doesn't matter if your current brand worked once before. If that doesn't work, try burning a different project or a test project to rule out this being a project related issue, and also burner issues. I would try burning "the long way" as you say, and with disk utility. You could also open your project in a new user account, as sometimes that will work. Then check out some of the things that I mentioned at the outset of this response.

Getting error "disk image....pro.sparsebundle is in use.....try ejecting the disk

when trying to have my time machine backup my MAC harddrive I am getting an error message "disk image....pro.sparsebundle is in use. try ejecting the disk....I don't know where to find this disk image to eject it.

Try the following:
Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to ten
Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
Wait a few minutes, then try another backup

Time Machine error: Disk image could not be mounted

I had two macs 1 and 2.
1 was stolen. I bought a new one (New 1) and it took the place of mac 2.
Mac 2 was reformated and restored from the TimeCapsule with the backup from the old 1.
The new 1 succeeded in continuing the back-up from 2.
But the mac 2 can't get used to backing up on another sparseimage on the Time Capsule. The result is, that both of the computers now makes back-up to the same sparseimage as if they were two users on the same computer. But the TimeCapsule doesn't accept that they can be using the sparseimage at the same time and claims that the backup is used by another.

I was encountering the same problem. I would navigate to my external drive and I would see the folder for the sparceimage and it would have a circled minus sign icon on the folder and it was not possible to mount it using DiskImageMounter. I would get a window stating the "operation not supported on socket". When I looked at the Time Machine preferences, the disk image was not available so I could confirm that it was chosen as the backup disk. However, when it became the scheduled time for Time Machine to do its scheduled backup according to the information in the Time Machine preferences pane, the disk image mounted and the backup seemed to commence. Similarly, when I went to Time Machine and asked it to "Backup Now", the disk image mounted, and the backup proceeded. However, the disk image then dismounted and again it was no longer available to Time Machine. When I ran Time Machine, I could not choose the disk image and restore files from it because it was no longer mounted.

Disk image successful; burn error due to 'ghost' image

I have burned 100s of DVDs successfully. I always burn them from their disk images. My last project took longer because I ran into what I think is an unusual problem.
I created a disk image and burned a DVD, but then decided there were a couple of places where more edits would make a better movie. I went back to my iMovie, made the edits, and opened up iDVD and created another disk image. Both disk images had had the same name, but that shouldn't have been a problem since the first one had been trashed before the second one was created. When I opened Disk Utility to burn the disk, the disk image (which was on my desktop) appeared in DUs window.
However, when I tried to burn from the disk image, the burn failed at the end....so that the DVD played up to the last 3 min of the movie. The message during the burn was something like 'burning disk 5' but that was not the name of my project. The message at the end was that the burn had failed due to error 00000000500--(not sure of the exact number of 0s). The disk was ejected with the burn almost complete.
I had not had this occur before, and I don't know why it happened. I have no idea what or where 'disk 5' is. That is not how I name my projects and have never seen that. The disk image I was burning from had the name of '1995 Part 2' and, after the disk was ejected, that disk image could not be deleted from Disk Utility. It seemed to be referencing some 'disk 5' file.
I subsequently had a successful burn by creating another disk image (found more edits to tweak) and naming it something different so I could be sure to burn the correct one since the other image was still in DU.
This time it all worked, but the first disk image in Disk Utility's window would not delete. I finally got it out by deleting the other one, closing DU, reopening it and finally it could be deleted.
That 'ghost' file for disk 5 still is a puzzle to me. I would like to know if I did anything to cause it so that I can avoid the problem in the future.

How do I save an imovie as a disk image to improve playability?

I have been advised that if I save my movies as disk images then burn them onto DVDs I have a better chance of having them work.
Problem: I can't work out how to save as disk image - there seems to be no way to do it, as in the applications-utilities there is no provision for it.
Help please.
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

It's not clear exactly what your goal is, so I'll try to cover a couple bases.
Creating a disk image that contains your iMovie project will not help you burn a DVD in either iDVD or Toast. When these programs burn a DVD, they encode (convert and compress) the iMovie project movie to a format that can be played in a DVD player. They do NOT burn the iMovie project onto the DVD. They make their own version of the movie and format the DVD so a DVD player can play it. So if the goal is to burn a DVD, creating a disk image of the iMovie project won't help.
If your goal is to move the iMovie HD project to another computer, that can be done by connecting the two computers with an Ethernet cable. Or if you have a FireWire drive, you could use it move the project from one computer to another.
If none of that is possible, you could use the Finder to burn the iMovie project onto a DVD, as a file, if the project will fit. (The Finder copies it to the DVD as a data file, NOT a TV-playable DVD.) The Finder lets you copy files to a DVD just like copying them to a hard disk. Your project has to to small enough to fit, however, and many projects are too large.
Note that unlike the Finder, Toast lets you burn a large data file across multiple DVDs.
If I've misunderstood everything, please say more.

Can you move events and projects to disk images in iMovie 11?

iMovie 08 allowed you to move events to disk images and keep them there. In other words iMovie 08 saw disk images the same as a hard disk. iMovie 09 lost this and could not recognize disk images. Can an iMovie 11 owner tell me if this functionality has been restored. I liked being able to keep projects in progress in encrypted disk images and away from prying eyes. Thanks!

Yes you can do it with Finder.
I move projects and Events into and out of temporary folders with Finder nearly every day.
Problems arise when you have Events and Projects with identical names on more than one drive. If you're going to do that, put the files on one of the drives into another folder somthat FCP X doesn't recognise them - or eject one of the drives.

Disk images failed to mount - codec overrun

Hi,
So after searching through the related posts I have been unable to correct my probelm, which is:
I am unable to open some .dmg files. I have tried to open three different .dmg files from a variety of sources and they all return the same error:
disk images failed to mount - codec overrun
However, I was able to update my system to 10.4.7 using the updater. This did not solve the problem. I then tried load the combo version of 10.4.7 as suggested in a different post and while it didn't load (I accidentally grabbed the powerPC version) it was able to open the .dmg and look in them.
Disk Utility is unable to attach the three that won't open. The first two Disk Utility was unable to verify or repair. The last (a cars game demo) was successfully verified but still came up with the codec overrun error when I tried to attach it. Finally I have tried removing the following two files and then restarting, to no effect.
/System/Library/Extension.kextcache
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches/
I'd appreciate any help offered. A search on codec overrun was of no use. I searched for "mount failed disk images" and variations of that to find what I have already tried.
Thanks
Pete

I am havin the same problems. codec overrun
I am trying to download stuffit from their site so I can open a program for school.
I tried to download the dmg file from the apple site but was given the same error. Codec overrun
Also I attempted to get the updates from the Apple site.......same error.
So far this computer will not download much of anything without some kind of an error. Essentially this Imac is a $2000 jukebox. It does play music wonderfully.
My roommate was able to downlad easily from the same internet connection with no problem the windows version of the program from te same site.
This is a brand new out of the box iMac. 20" 1 gig 250 GB machine. First Mac for me and it is turning into a real headache.
Any help with the codec overrun would be appreciated.

Can't get free space after deleting a file-sparse bundle disk image

I have a 150 GB Sparse bundle Disk image with a 256 AES enc. I just deleted about 30 GB worth of tv shows to free up some space but the Disk Image is still the same size with no more free space on the virtual disk either. I know that with Filevault the user has to log out in order to recover free disk space but how does this work with a normal Sparse disk image? Thanks in advance!
-Macguy3000

IIRC, sparse images only grow as things are added, but do not shrink. Create a new one, mount the original, transfer your stuff from the original into the new one, and delete the original one.

Encrypted disk image sometimes mounts without password

I have an encrypted sparsebundle disk image containing sensitive information. On occasion (maybe one time out of ten), I'm able to mount it without being prompted for the password.
The password for the image is not stored in my keychain. Can anyone offer advice on this issue?

I was having exactly this same problem!
I keep a small encrypted disk image storing sensitive banking information. I do NOT have the option to store passwords in Keychain checked, and I verified that the password is not being stored in Keychain.
Yet, when I double-clicked the supposedly encrypted sparsebundle disk image, it opened right up and mounted - no password required! Unbelievable, right? So I started to investigate.
I first noticed this behaviour in Mountain Lion, I'm running 10.8.4 on a 2.7 GHz 15" MBPr.
In past versions of OS X I would mount the volume to work on it by double-clicking on the disk image, enter my passowrd, and then Eject the volume either by dragging to the trash or clicking the Eject button on the Sidebar. The next time I would try to access the disk image by double-clicking it, it would again prompt for a password. All good.
What seems to be happening in ML is, using the same workflow, even though the volume is disappearing from Finder, the disk image is not actually being unmounted!
When I go to Disk Utility, the disk image is still mounted, but the volume is grayed out. When I Eject the disk image in Disk Utility, it then reverts to the expected bahaviour, and double-clicking on the disk prompts for a password.
So the workaround seems to be when finished working on the volume, go to Disk Utility and manually Eject the disk image (as opposed to just the volume it mounts) to ensure it has unmounted and is thus again encrypted. The reason for it sometimes requiring a password, sometimes not is probably because after a restart of the computer it would unmount all disks, and then be unable to re-mount it until the password is entered. But in between, unless you were aware of this behaviour anyone with access to the disk image can view its contents.
What a terrible security flaw IMO, as there is no visual indication in Finder that the disk image is still unprotected after you unmount its volume and that icon disappears! I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more attention.
Incidentally brian_c, I tried to look at your linked videos but it returns the message that the videos violated the TOS of the site...?

Using Encrypted Disk Images

When I create an encrypted sparse bundle disk image it starts small an grows when I add files. When I create a sparse disk image it starts at the size I set and never grows. I understand all this however, what I don't understand is gaining FREE space again. When I delete a file I don't get back the free space on the mounted virtual drive but the disk image is still the same size! I know that filevault (which basically just places your home folder in an encrypted Sparse bundle image) some how recovers space, is this possible with other ENCRYPTED disk images as well?
Thanks in advance,
Macguy3000

A sparse image file can expand but it does not automatically contract as data is removed. I believe I remember reading a hint at MacOSXHints.com about how to resize a sparse image file.

Disk Images Failing to Mount: Reason - Broken Pipe

Ever since the recent 10.4.9 patch, I have been unable to install .dmg files onto my MacBook. Everytime I try to execute a .dmg file, I get the following error:
Disk Images failed to mount:
Program: Messenger602.dmg
Reason: Broken Pipe
I have absolutely no clue as to what it means. I've used the Disk Utility in order to repair the disks and permissions without any luck. I've restarted my computer a couple of times and that failed. I've also checked the forums on the subject and there were some topics on the subject but none of them were able to fix my problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers

It turns out that the 10.4.9 patch didn't install fully and corrupted some system files which is why I was unable to open .dmg files.
I just ran and Archive and Install and everything works fine now!
Hope this helps to anyone who has the same problem

Multiplexer Error on a 8GB disk burn or Disk image, iDVD

Burning 4.5GB DVDs burns fine.
While trying to burn a 8GB DVD or creating a disk image on iDVD I receive a "Multiplexer Error".
Another time, it burned and with about 3 minutes left the disk popped out of the computer although on the computer it appeared to still be burning. When I put this disk in a DVD player the chapter titles are mixed up with the actual video that plays and the same video is played over various chapters.
I tried changing the burning speed to 2X and tried using an external DVD burner.
Would appreciate any ideas!
Thanks

Sorry that I can not make a shorter answer !
Hi
Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
LONG LONG LONG LIST
Multiplexing Error
PART One.
Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
I only use.
Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
Chapters !
A. Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
as described by Donnyboy69. Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
B. Location of Chapters
Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
PART Two.
from Robert Modero.
"Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
Once I did that, I was back in business.
from Boise Jim
Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
I use only - Verbatim DVDs
I use only - DVD-R
I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
This gives good DVDs
PART Three.
Multiplex Error
Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.
3 Chapter marks in transitions - minimum 2 sec from
FROM Bev. (Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.
From. Boise, Idaho
I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
Hopefully this can help other people.
by dheb0422
Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.
One user more writes
To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
One project worked fine in creating disk image file
The other gave Multiplex Errors
I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
This time multiplex errors gone
So had something to do with chapters
So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
Russ One - suggest this
Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
Summary - What to try
1. Chapters
Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
3. Safe re-boot
4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
SDMacuser adds to this
On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
7. Trash iDVD pref. file
8. Make a new iDVD project
9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

I've made literally hundreds of DVD's using iDVD and I occasionally get the dreaded "Multiplex Error". In the past changing the position of chapter markers has worked, but sometimes the only way I can get the DVD to burn is to remove all the chapter markers (not a great solution).
Recently, I've discovered a bug in iDVD that creates the "Muliplex Error" message and it may be the cause of some of my previous problems. Sometimes when you export a movie to iDVD with chapters, it will create chapter menus with incredibly long playing times. My most recent "Multiplex Error" project had two chapter menus. I have a 38 second audio clip that I use for my DVD menus and the first menu showed the correct time of 38 seconds (select View>Show Inspector). The second menu with the same audio clip showed 13 minutes and 42 seconds! When I went to the Project Info window (select Project>Project Info) it now showed the total size of my DVD as 4.8 GB, too big for iDVD to encode. So, I manually adjusted the time of the second menu to 38 seconds. This time without changing anything else, iDVD burned the disk perfectly.
The interesting thing is that when I began the burn, the project info showed under 4GB for my disk. So, from now on I'll check the playing times of each menu before I burn.

Source Material error when burning disk image

Well, I've been haunting these forums for 10 days, finding answers to every darn problem under the sun I've encountered! (thanks folks, I've been near hysteria) Now I have yet another problem, and I cannot find an answer in the forums (sorry if it's there.)
I have built my movie in iMovie, imported to iDVD, created my disk image, played my disk image (worked perfectly), connected my brand new LaCie external burner, loaded Toast 6 Lite, dragged my mounted disk image icon into the window, popped in my Verbatim DVD+R and let 'er rip.
And, poo, I'm informed that 4 files are in an unsupported format and cannot be imported. EH? I thought the disk image kept all self-contained? I press onward, and hit burn. Churning, churning... and then this message:
"Could not record disc because there is a problem with the source material. Result code= -18774"
Trying to burn via Disk Utility doesn't work either. My mounted disk shows up, but when highlighted the burn button is grayed out. Only when I click on the .img file is the burn option lit.
Am I supposed to drag the .img file rather than the mounted little disc icon? PLEASE HELP. These movies were SUPPOSED to be Xmas presents... now I'm praying for Michaelmas gifts!
TIA

ohmygosh. Lightbulb! I've been trying to burn the file_name one and not the file_name.img one. I assumed the point of mounting the file was to burn it, but it's only to preview it, yes?? So, I did that via Disk Utility, and it worked!! Only thing I can't figure is how to set the burn speed. I know slower is better, but can't find the place to tell it the speed. It never asks.
Toast still gives me the source material error. I do have the 'video' tab selected, and I've done the drag-n-drop method AND the 'add' method ('copy' is only for transferring data from one CD/DVD to another in my version, evidently). Toast doesn't allow me to grab the .img file, so I'm assuming IT wants the mounted file_name one? I'd still like to be able to use Toast to burn, so a solution to this would be appreciated. I'm using Toast 6 Lite, BTW.

Note: I originally named my MBA hard drive MacBeth, but at some point months ago, it said backup already existed and system automatically created MacBeth (2), worked for a while, then stopped again, despite trying nearly daily.
I gave up and started using Carbon Copy Clone daily for just the 128gb on internal SSD of my late 2011 11" MacBook Air, but need to get past these time capsule errors to back up the external disk! Due to lack of space in MBA, I had long ago transferred both itunes and iphoto and all imovie/fcpx files to a 1tb external disk (WD Passport) that I keep in my bag with MBA. It is partitioned with 150gb for cloning the MBA, and over 750gb for media/itunes/iphoto/etc.
Also, I have endured months of "your hard drive is full" messages and system lockups, applying the solution given to me by genious bar (deleting all aol.com outboxes/recovered messages/spam/trash under library/mail/V2/Mailboxes folders, empty trash, restart....watch recovered hard drive space mysteriously shrink next couple days to zero.....repeat)
Due to lack of space, I had not been able to do javascript and other system updates. Yesterday, I noticed even safari bookmark bar had mysteriously emptied (not disappeared, I can hide and show the space where the bar used to be - it is just blank area with no data except for eyelass-book-topsites icons), so I transferred a few large quicktime movie files recorded with isight camera to the external disk, and freed up 20 gbs for the first time!
This got my hopes up yesterday because after I completed all system/software updates, suddenly the bookmark bar showed up and I was able to start the time capsule backup! It took overnight preparing for backup, but finally started and progressed to 12gb of the 100gb+ needed (i guess the update where it left off months ago for the estimated 750gb for the full backup?), then I put system to sleep and took it with me (thus leaving the wireless time capsule network as I do daily fully expecting it to continue when I returned home in the evening.) But alas, upon return, back to the "Time Machine could not complete backup, The backup disk image ".....sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22)" Ugh! More reboots, unplugs, 5min gaps....still Ugh!
So the problem continues...please help! Here are my settings:
About this mac:
Mac OS X V. 10.7.5
processor 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo, memory 4 4g 1067 MHz DDR3
software up to date!
Airport Utility:
V 6.2 (620.33)
both internet globe and TC show green dots in graphic, however internet occasionally shows yellow then goes to green, but still gets error 22. Suddenly TC showed explanation mark and says lost connection and asked if I wanted to 'forget', gave same errors, then mysteriously went back to green, but still got error 22!.
Internet:
connection: connected, displays router address, 2 dns server, and domain name: charter.com
Time Capsule:
shows network, ip address, serial number, version 7.6.3, status: (green dot) Setup over WAN,
wireless clients: phones, macbooks (including this MBA), printers, wii
If you need other settings to help me, just ask! I have read a few of the other solutions in forums, but trying not to erase disks, especially since it worked for a minute yesterday!

To step sideways.. why not just use CCC to backup the 750GB of the hard disk to the TC.
You need to understand this is going to be a super slow process and each time you stop it.. it is going to give issues. CCC will at least do a more reliable job of it than TM.
I would also say.. this is going to be tough without ethernet. You need to understand the backup speed over wireless can be 10GB per hour.. that makes 75hrs to backup the disk. The air needs to run non-stop doing that.. without you touching it.
I would get another external drive.. plug that into the MBA and if you really want to use TM.. make a backup one to the other.. but CCC will again do a better job and work faster. It will be much faster than over wireless.
I am trying to think of ways around the issue of just speed.. but plainly you have lots of other issues.. being the simple unreliablity of the TM to identify the TC.
If you want to make this work.. give yourself a weekend.
Load 5.6 utility into the MBA..

Take the TC back to 7.5.2 firmware. It is a really old version and latest firmware does it no good at all.
Wipe its hard disk using erase and start over.. give it new names for everything.
So call it TC
Set the wireless to 5ghz and name it TC5ghz
Use WPA2 Personal security. Use a 10 character passkey non dictionary.
At 5ghz you should get 2x the speed as at 2.4ghz but the air will need to be right next to the TC..
(alternatively buy the USB to ethernet cord apple have available.. it is $30 in the apple store and do it over pseudoethernet. http://store.apple.com/au/product/MC704ZM/A/apple-usb-ethernet-adapter That is the wrong store but you get the idea. )
WIth a fully clean system.. now do a full reset of TM.
See A4 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Direct the TM to back to the TC.. and make sure the external hard disk is not excluded.
Of course the TC has to be 1TB version to fit that much data.. goes without saying right.
Even over pseudo - ethernet this will take many hours.. and you basically have to leave it to work.. do not touch it.. make sure the MBA cannot sleep though.. turn off sleep.. beforehand.
