HT3275 I have this message how do I resolve this? The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Dwight's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.
I am trying to back up but get this message:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Dwight’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.
The link above is a good resource to use if the simple fix does not help.
Make sure that no other Macs are backing up the Time Capsule at the time
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

Simply reboot the TC ie pull out the power. .count to 10.. plug the power back in.

in Time Machine what if it says The backup disk image “/Volumes/TimeMachine/Kevin’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.
First, restart your iMac and Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this should solve that problem.

Hi, I have backed up 2 IMACs and one Mac Book Pro but for some reason, the 3rd IMAC come up with this problem: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Anthony’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). Why? The computer system is up to date and I have had no issue with the other computers, just this one.
Many thanks

I recently obtained the 3 TB time capsule and after setting it up I have backed up using time machine and after a few days it gives this error. I erased the drive and started over but the same thing happened. I do not see the error message that I get listed in the articles. Any ideas?
Error message - The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Ence’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).The best "articles" by far are those provided by Time Capsule and Time Machine guru Pondini.
He's the guy that Apple calls when they can't figure things out.
