Error message for a disk volume
Hi,
I have a terrible problem with the disc volume. I cannot open a volume. The mac thing it is alias file which it cannot find and I should "delete,...".
I thing, the Problem is:
I use the time machine with external firewire disc. Under OS 10.5.8 the external drive isn`t allways connect to the computer and in this case it choose this other internal drive, but didn`t any backup to this drive. I don`t know why.
Now under 10.6 I get get same Alias-message if I try to open the external time machine volume. What can I do, to find a solution for my internal drive?
I switch off the Time Machine, but it is the same problem.
Thanks
Uwe
I think too, that is a time machine problem.
I have 4 volume partions (3 hard disk) at this mac. I use only the time machine as backup system. Only one. Before I install Snow Leopard I use the latest MacOS X 10.5.8. Always the newest version of MacOS.
Perhaps I describe it: Under 10.5.8 I use the time machine backup volume at an external firewire drive, always the same. I switch off this firewire drive often. In this case (the drive isn`t connect) the icon of this partition"Pro10.4" was changed to the time machine volume icon, but the time machine does nothing at this partition.
After the installation of 10.6 I cannot access to this "Pro10.4" volume. I get the same error message if I want to open the external drive volume of my time machine backup. There is no problems with my other two partition. Of course my old V10.5.8 is at one of this partition. If I start my mac from a other partition (time machine is off), I have no problem with all partitions.
I change the name of "Pro10.4", but nothing is changing. The time machine protect the backup volume under V10.6. Unfortunately it choose an other partition, if it don`t find my external drive. How can I reset this state of my "Pro10.4"?
Thanks
Uwe

I am receiving the following error on my time machine, does anyone know what it means? Error message = The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Richard’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use.

how to fix this error message The backup disk image “/Volumes/AirPort Disk/FARES DEL VALLE’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).
The troubleshooting C17 is the specific article.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
This is generally a Lion error.. and you will need 5.6 utility to get access to the disk area.
So download the real utility. Run it instead of v6 toy version.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Go to the manual setup, disk page and click on disconnect all users.. that will unmount all users connected to the disk and allow it to start working. But there are a number of other issues that are possible cause. Pondini lists some of them. -
My time machine does not back up and giving me this error message: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Amiel’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use. Pls help.
Make sure that there are no other Macs backing up at the present time.
Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to ten
Plug the power cord back in
This will "fix" things about 98% of the time. Post back if you are in the unlucky 2% category. -
When I try to backup I get the error message.The backup disk image"/Volumes/Data/iMac.sparsebundle" could not be accessed(error-1) Any Ideas? it was working fine and i can't think of any changes I made to the system to affect this?

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... -
I constantly get the following error message: The backup disk image "/volumes/data/jameskehoe.sparsebundle" is already in use. This Time Machine/Time Capsul worked perfectly before I left on a four month trip. Upon returning to my domicle it will not backup and I get the mentioned error message. My wife's Mac Book Pro continues to backup normally but she did not accompany me on this trip so her computer has always remained in contact with the Time Machine. My computer is a MacBook running 10.7.5
Any help solving this problem and letting me once again backup my computer would be greatly appreciated.This question is asked several times every day.. it is a bug.
Look at the more like this column to the right..
Solution is pretty simple..
With the TC hard disk not running.. you can feel the vibration ..
pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug in the power cord.
If you still have the problem report back.. mostly 98% of cases that will fix it. -
My time machine is not able to complete a backup, giving me this error message: the backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Linda’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use. How do I fix this?
Stock standard issue.. asked 5-10 times per day here.. look at "more like this" on the right.
Simply reboot the TC ie pull out the power. .count to 10.. plug the power back in.
Maybe need to restart the network.. in order modem.. router .. TC.. clients. 2min gap.
See C12 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html -
My normally reliable Time Machine is giving following error message;-
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/JOE OTOOLE’s Computer.sparsebundle” is already in use.
What does it mean and how do I deal with it?I have loaded it into ML using a great and free utility unpkg.. it probably works much the same as Pacifist.
Locate your downloaded 5.6 dmg file.. click it so you can see the pkg but don't bother opening it.
Download, install and run unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Drag the airport utility 5.6 pkg over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory on the desktop.. named AirPortUtility56.. drill down to Applications, Utilities and you will find the unpackaged utiity.. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it where you are.. -
I am having issues with Time Machine. Error message "The backup disk image could not be created.
Error message "The backup disk image could not be created." I have tried everything I have found online in the community from TM full reset to changing my computers name. Anything else I can try? I am using a Seagate external HD with a connection through my router. I spent an hour on the phone with seagate and everything is ok on the HD end.
TM sees it and it is mounted but cannot go any further. HELP?!!!!
Thanks
-AHow should it be connected? It has a usb port and ethernet. The USB on the ExHD looks like the port on the back of my computer, so I would need one wth the same ends? Do they make those?
I can usually fix most my comp problems myself, but this new ExHD has stumped me.
Thanks for your help.

I have recently purchased Toshiba 1TB hard drive and I set it up and I was able to transfer all my files onto it such as my music, photos, documents. I had correctly ejected and used it again and all these files were safely stored and accessible afterwards. However after I rebooted my computer as it had been going slow and I had too much clogging it up once I reconnected the external hard drive I have error message saying 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' Three options are Initialize, Ignore or Eject. How do I access all my files? I set it up to work on both mac and windows. I have tried both another mac and windows computer and same issue occurs?? I am worried that all my personal files are gone but am confused as the drive has had absolutely no damage to it as it was in a very short time frame and its never left the same spot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Thanks for your quick response. I had a look at your discussion... I tried it on a Windows machine and I thought that was compatible with ExFAT?
Therefore I need to attempt to use my external hard drive with a machine that boasts OS X 10.6.5 or above and then it should work?
Thanks -
Unsupported black in use error message for laserjet p2055
Receiving "unsupported black in use" error message for laserjet p2055. I replace the cartridge with a new one and the same message appears. Any suggestions how to resolve this issue?
Hi,
Does it become active if you go to System Preferences > Accounts and Click on the current Account Pic and attempt to take a Pic ? (you do not have to Set it as the Pic)
Go to System Preferences > Accounts
Click on Your Account (in the list on the Left)
The Right hand side will now show some options.
Clicking the current Pic will give you access to Edit Pic
One of the Options then is to take a Snapshot.
Take a Snap Shot but you do not have to "Set" the Pic.
This process will invoke VDCAssistant.
Explain further about the PRAM Reset please.
You should shut down the computer (Rather than trying to catch the Restart)
You should then Start the Computer holding down the AppleALT+PR keys and keep holding them until you hear three Start Up0 Bongs (Chimes)
This deletes some settings such as System Preferences Settings for the Volume (Sound) and Date and Time that may need resetting afterwards. (Others may also be effected such as Screen Saver)
On Spotlight.
This does not look or report on certain Folders.
At the Hard Drive Level this is Library and Syatem
In your Home Folder (Little House icon) it will not look in your Library.
com.ecam.iusbcam.plist and com.apple.ichat.plist
Are in your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
The Others are in the /Library at Hard Drive Level

Getting download error message for video on iPad
Purchased a "Rambo" set of three videos and can't download. Keep getting a "download error" message. What to do. Think it has something to do with the fact that there are more than one movie t,o download.
Hi Gail,
You have a number of separate questions here.
+The G3 has AW 6.04 installed on it but I can't burn a CD to move it to the G4. It will no longer be used on the G3.+
AW 6.0.4 will run only on OS 9 and earlier. You will need to update it before or after moving it to the G4. If your G3 has a firewire port, you should be able to connect it to the G4 with a Firewire cable, startup the G3 in Target mode (hold down the T key from the startup chime to the appearance of the Firewire smbol on the display). Then startup the G4 and the G3 will show up as an external Firewire drive on the G4's desktop. Copy the AppleWorks 6 folder to the Applications folder on the G4.
+I downloaded the update AW 6.2.9 to the G4 but got this error message. " The disk image you are opening may be damaged and could damage your system." I have not opened it to install it. Why did I get that message, what are the odds that it will damage my system?+
The message could simply mean what it says, and that would be the cautious interpretation. Delete the file and repeat the download. There's not much point in opening/mounting the disk image until you have a copy of the AW 6 folder and its contents in the Applications folder on the G4. The update installer won't do anything if it doesn't find the application there to update.
+Some of the data was converted from Microsoft office to AW. Will it convert back to office?+
There should be no problem, provided you have an AW to MS translator for the appropriate MS application. ("No problem" other than the usual ones concerning embedded frames—graphics, spreadsheets or tables—these tend to not translate well in either direction.

I have just moved data from a G3 iMac to a G4 iMac with 10.4.9 installed. Much of what I moved was written in AW. The G3 has AW 6.04 installed on it but I can't burn a CD to move it to the G4. It will no longer be used on the G3. I downloaded the update AW 6.2.9 to the G4 but got this error message. " The disk image you are opening may be damaged and could damage your system." I have not opened it to install it. Why did I get that message, what are the odds that it will damage my system? Some of the data was converted from Microsoft office to AW.
