Hi folks - I didn't see my issue answered here, so I thought I would just toss it out there in case anyone had advice.
My error message is: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Michael's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use.
Thoughts?Look on the right hand side .. more like this.. I am surprised you can have missed it.. we get about 10 requests a day now to fix it.. especially since Mountain Lion has made it 10x worse.

Time Machine fails with this error: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Barbara’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use."
Can anyone assist me in correcting the problem causing this? Thanks.Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.

I have been using this time machine successfully for exactly one year and just now am having an issue.
Thanks,This error involves a complex procedure to remedy the problem:
Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to ten
Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
Wait a few minutes and try a backup -
What does this mean and How do I correct it? Kelly
It means that there are bugs in Lion and Mountain Lion.
Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to 10
Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
This simple reset will fix the issue about 98% of the time. If you are in the 2% category, you will need more "fixes"

Why would my computer start only printing "blurred images" of my documents.... And now I get this message about my Time Machine backups?
You have two different issues. One is a problem with your printer and one is a Time Machine problem. You'll need to contact your printer support to find out why your printer is not working.
You should be posting your Time Machine issue in the Time Machine section but straight from the linked articles to the right side of this page:

I'm on Mountain Lion and have version 6.1 of AirPort utility so there is no button to "Disconnect All Users"and the only other option of "removing and re-selecting the drive via Time Machine Prefs" doesn't work either. So this will work.
Launch Airport Utility and select the TC "Edit" button, then select the Disks tab. Deselect "Enable File Sharing" and click "Update". The TC will reboot then follow the same procedure and reselect "Enable File Sharing" and click "Update". After TC reboots again you'll be up and running. Not the neatest way to do it but saves having to unplug the TC which risks disk damage and the whole procedure takes less than a minute.The "Enable File Sharing" button seems to have replaced the "Disconnect All Users" button but with the slight disadvantage that it reboots the TC which takes up additional time. -
I recently bought a new Time Capsule and the following message has started to show:-

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.. -
