HT3275 I keep getting a message that says, The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/iMac.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 60).
I keep getting a message when trying to back up my main computer = 'The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/CMN iMac.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 60).'
The error message changes sometimes to other numbers but it is not able to back anything up. I have deleted any previous back ups and rechosen the destination disk (Time Capsule). My other computers are doing the same thing periodically but this is the most important back up that I need.
Any ideas anyone?

The Time Machine is not completing thte backup to my Time Capsule. I am receiving a message which reads "The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Mac Jet's iMAC.sparsebundle" is already in use." I cannot locate the source of the problem or what steps need to be taken to get the Time Capsule operating.
Hi, see if it shows here...
In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...

I'm receiving this error message about my Time Capsule:
"The backup disk image '/Volumes/Data/my name's iMAC.sparesebundle" is already in use. The time capsule is not backing up any files.1. Open the Sharing preference pane and check that the computer name hasn't changed without your knowledge. For example, if the name was "X's iMac," it might now be "X's iMac (2)". In that case, restore the original name. You may have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane to unlock the settings. Test. If there's no improvement, or if the name had not been changed, continue.
2. If you're backing up to a Time Capsule, or an AirDisk attached to a 2013 or later model AirPort Extreme base station, restart it in either of the following ways:
☞ Disconnect and reconnect the power adapter.
☞ Select the device in the AirPort Utility application and then select
Base Station ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
If AirPort Utility notifies you of a firmware update, install it. -

My time machine will not back up. I get a Time Machine Error message that reads: "The backup disk image "/Volumes/Backup/(myname)'sMacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use.
I have not been able to back up for two weeks, I think this occurred after an update to the operating system, but I am unsure.
How do I correct this problem?Have you tried restarting the computer? Also, see Time Machine Error from this pages sidebar under More Like This.

My Apple Time Capsule stopped backing up a few weeks ago and after upgrading to Mavericks on my IMac I keep getting the message:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/karen’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.
I have no idea what to do and am new to having a Mac -
Also a friend had orginally set my wifi up to be called "Karen's wifi" and it has also stopped connecting to the wi fi also so am using ethernet connect.
Can someone please give me an idiot's step by step guide please so my back will work again?
Thank youLocate the Time Capsule
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, then try another backup
If you are having WiFi connection problems, you should start another separate post for that issue. -
I constantly get the following error message: The backup disk image "/volumes/data/jameskehoe.sparsebundle" is already in use. This Time Machine/Time Capsul worked perfectly before I left on a four month trip. Upon returning to my domicle it will not backup and I get the mentioned error message. My wife's Mac Book Pro continues to backup normally but she did not accompany me on this trip so her computer has always remained in contact with the Time Machine. My computer is a MacBook running 10.7.5
Any help solving this problem and letting me once again backup my computer would be greatly appreciated.This question is asked several times every day.. it is a bug.
Look at the more like this column to the right..
Solution is pretty simple..
With the TC hard disk not running.. you can feel the vibration ..
pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug in the power cord.
If you still have the problem report back.. mostly 98% of cases that will fix it. -

The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Shirley’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use.
How do I fix it?Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Wait 60 seconds
Plug the power cord back in
This simple reset will fix this error 98% of the time. If you need more help, see this troubleshooting information:

I've been having the same problem that my Time Machine can't be back up to my iMac for last few months. It said," The backup disk image... sparsebundle" cannot be acessed -(error 1) . When i looked into my TC, it does connected to my iMac; but not in devices and when i clicked into imac.sparsebundle and it is no mounted file system.
I tried several changes such as new password, new device names, checked Keychain Acess, repaired the disk, got a latest air utilily... But it still couldn't help alot. my iMac software now is OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4. However, it having the problem since i update the software... I'm not sure if it related but i'm clueless now!!!

Report on your results -
What does that mean and how do I correct it so it will back up?
Restart your MacBook and your Time Capsule (or disconnect your Time Machine external drive). Finally, you will be able to make backups of your files again.
If you have got a Time Capsule, Apple released a firmware update that fixes this issue. Open AirPort Utility (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps. See > http://pondini.org/TM/C12.html
