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

    As soon as I try to open the installer I get the following message:

    Anyone have an answer to this problem?
    I'm running on OS X 10.7.5
    Thanks

  • While installing itunes i am getting error "this installation package could not be opened.verify that the package exists and that you can access it,or contact the appliacation vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"

    While installing itunes i am getting error "this installation package could not be opened.verify that the package exists and that you can access it,or contact the appliacation vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • After upgrading to 10.3.1 I get error -50 on startup and 1008 when I try to sign in to the store

    After upgrading to iTunes 10.3.1 I get error -50 on startup and 1008 when I try to sign in to the Store. How do I fix this?

    I got the solution from another post...
    use the Finder to navigate to /library/preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete NetworkInterfaces.plist ( you will be prompted for username and password), then reboot. You will get a message about new network interface found--just reset the network info.
    That did it for me.

    Hmmm, what Format is the Thumb drive?
    In the Mac/AFP world...
      errFSNotAFolder               = -1407, /* Expected a folder, got a file */
    Is there perhaps a colon or Backslash, or slash in the filename?
