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.

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.

HT3275 he backup disk image"/Volumes/Data/Sue's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use mean?
Can anyone tell me what "The backup disk image"/Volumes/Data/Sue's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle is in use mean when it comes to using my Time Machine. How do I solve this blip in the back-up process?
The TM backup has not properly dismounted the drive on the last backup or has lost connection in some way.
It is a common problem.. the most common in this discussion area.. look at the right hand "More Like This" column for multiple similar threads.
Solution is simple.. some sort of restart is needed of the TC.. you can do this via the airport utility or just pull the power, count to 10 and power it on again.
See C12 for more details.

HT3275 The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Kelly's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use.
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:

Hello,

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 keep getting this error when trying to backup time capsule with time machine. The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Dan’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.
Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time.
Pull the power cable from the back of the Time Capsule

time machine: I get the following message: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Clemens’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use - what to do? Where and how do I find that file and get rid of it?
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. -
