Hi buddy, thanks for that, did you see my Edit on my previous post ?.
Sorry, no, I didn't.
It's almost certainly F/W 800; I don't think Apple's used F/W 400 ports for a couple of years. You can tell by the shape of the port or plug:

And the little booklet that came with your Mac should have a diagram and labels, too.
I don't find a good picture of a F/W 400 port, but if you look closely here (from OWC's "gallery" in the earlier link), it's on the extreme right, next to a pair of F/W 800 ports:

After reformatting my 1 Tb WD ext drive and tinkering with the "exclude these items" list, I now get the following error message from Time Machine:Are you sure you want to back up to the same device your original data is on? the WD disk has mounted??

After reformatting my 1 Tb WD ext drive and tinkering with the "exclude these items" list, I now get the following error message from Time Machine: "Are you sure you want to back up to the same device your original data is on?" I've reformatted in Disk Utilities...not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure what you mean by "booted" from it.
If the Mac OS is installed on the external drive, then it's possible to start up from it, just as you do from your internal drive. Please open the Startup Disk preference pane in System Preferences, and verify that your internal drive is selected as the startup disk.
Assuming that's the case, then it may be that your TM settings have been corrupted. Turn off TM, then move or delete the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist. Turn TM back on, recreate your settings, and try again.

I've recently received an error message from Time Machine that my Macbook Pro's sparsebundle is in use. What is this and what can I do about it?

I've recently received an error message from Time Machine that my Macbook Pro's sparsebundle is in use. What is this and what can I do about it?

This is asked at least 5-6 times a day here.
Look at the right hand column.. more like this.
It is a bug in Mountain Lion.
Read C12 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
But the fast solution.. unplug the TC.. count to 10.. plug it back in.

Im getting the following error message when Time Machine is trying to back up: backup disc image/volumes/data/my computer.sprasebundle is already in use. What does this mean? How do i correct? Thanks!

90% of the time, all you need to do is power off the Time Capsule, wait a few minutes, and power it back up.
If no luck, then go to the more sophisticated fixes in the link above.

Error message in time machine: "There was a problem with the user name or the password of the network

I have been unable to back up my macbook to my time capsule for some time now. I received the following error message (translated from Swedish) when trying to back up using time machine:
"The network's volume could not be placed on the desktop. There was a problem with the user name or the password for the network.
Open system preferences and go to Time Machine. Select the volume for security backup again and state the correct user name and password."
I have confirmed the network password, and also tried with resetting the password. I have not idea what else to do. Any help is much appreciated.

Error message from Time Machine : "Disk Image ... is already used"

Time Machine was working well till today. I receive an error message saying that the disk image «Volumes/Time Capsule/ ... sparsebundle» is already used.

It just means Mountain Lion is so stupid it cannot remember its own name.. let alone the TC or when it last connected..
Reboot the network to give it a swift kick.. restart in correct order.. modem .. router/TC... clients.. 2min gap.
See C12
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html

Where can I find what the error messages of Time Machine means?

Checking my System Log Queries I found the following:
Could not back up OS X Recovery to /Volumes/Backup2/Backups.backupdb: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10 "Could not create com.apple.Boot.plist for recovery set" (kCFURLUnknownError / dsMacsBugInstalled: ) UserInfo=0x7fed8b312100 {NSLocalizedDescription=Could not create com.apple.Boot.plist for recovery set}
Can anyone explain what this means, and is it "fatal" in such a way that the backup made is useless for restoring? Where can I find documentation for such messages?

I reinstalled OS X just as you recommended. It seems that the error message concerning the Recovery set changed:

Time Machine Error message and Time Machine

Hello,
I use my 1TB Time capsule to back up my MacBook Pro. Just recently, it wouldn't back up, giving the error message "back up failed, Time Capsule 1 is already in use." I renamed my Time Capsule storage, so it actually says "storage1". So, it obviously thinks I have 2 storage drives (I don't). And what is a sparsbundle? And, it seems to be backing up the same stuff over and over, instead just the new info. I say this because my space went from 566GB down to 399GB in a matter of days. Would this have anything to do with the fact that I just switched from Entourage and loaded Microsoft Outlook for email? Please advise and thanks in advance.

Do you mean the folder on your Time Capsule that is/was named "Data"? If so, that shouldn't be a problem.
But if you mean the Time Capsule itself, you should be able to re-select it via Time Machine Preferences.
It sounds more like you were using the +Star Wars+ display to look at your backups when a new backup was trying to start. If the backup disk image appears on your desktop, or Finder sidebar, just eject it and try another backup.
It's also not a problem to rename a drive that's being backed-up, since Time Machine keeps track of drives by their UUIDs (Universally Unique IDentifiers).
So, it obviously thinks I have 2 storage drives (I don't). And what is a sparsbundle?
It's actually a +sparse bundle disk image,+ an odd container that Time Machine uses for network backups.
And, it seems to be backing up the same stuff over and over, instead just the new info. I say this because my space went from 566GB down to 399GB in a matter of days. Would this have anything to do with the fact that I just switched from Entourage and loaded Microsoft Outlook for email?
Yes, quite possibly. See #D4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for some common culprits and ways to find out exactly what's getting backed-up.

"disk can not be erased" error message on Time Machine back up

I keep getting a "disk can not be erased" error message as I try to restore a recently repaired computer from Time Machine Backup. I did a Disk Verify and Permissions Verify. No help.
Help!

Use migrate rather than whatever it is you are doing.. TM has loads of limitations and I suspect you are trying to do something that is not allowed. like recover from an older to a more recent OS..
Read the info from Pondini about recovery and migrate here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
It is somewhat out of date but still useful.
No luck tell us what version OS is in the backup and what version is now on the computer.

I am using a Mac G5 with Leopard. My LaCie data drive failed and I replaced it with a WD MyPassport drive, at which time the failed backups began. The recent file updates do appear in Time Machine, but it appears to back up everything since the last completed backup.

Hi Norm,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
(Repair both Drives)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

I deleted my microsoft office:mac 2011 word from my toolbar. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I tried to reinstall but it won't work. This has never happened before. I get an error message each time. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have time machine.

By Toolbar, do you mean the Dock? The Translucent bar normally at the bottom of the screen, but sometimes at the right or left side?
If that's what you mean, the Dock is merely a shortcut to what is already inside the Applications folder's Microsoft Office 2011 folder. If you have Word inside your Microsoft Office 2011 folder, you can drag it back to the Dock.
If you deleted the Microsoft Office folder, or it is empty, you'll have to reinstall it.
If you don't have your registration code, you'll have to call Microsoft for a new one.
