HT3275 The backup disk image "/Volumes/X's Time Capsu/X's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use.
Just received this message after losing power for a couple of days. I checked a number of discussion sites but could not find an answer.
I have the same issue every week or so. I use the advice here to fix it.

For the past couple weeks, my Time Machine has not been backing up file from my MacBook Pro. I've had the Time Capsule for a couple years now. Entering the Time Machine I discovered that there are no files before "yesterday" yet there are only 161.0 GB of 998.06 GB available. A "Failed" message apprears with a popup message: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/ELBs Time Ca/ELB’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use." How can it be in use when Time Machine takes hours looking for the device?
Another error code message also pops up from time to time: Finder error code -6584. What is that? And how is it fixed?
All software is up to date on this computer and Time Capsule.Further to my earlier response (system re-start and firmware update resulted in full Time Machine backup) I waited until the next scheduled backup to determine success.
As it has turned out, the Time Machine's next backup was for 48 kb and ran for eight hours! The progress bar was complete (solid blue) and I therefore stopped the backup. It has been "stopping backup" for the past hour.
What is wrong with this process? -

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, restart the computer and your Time Capsule. In most of cases, this should solve the problem. If it doesn't work, see > http://pondini.org/TM/C12.html
That's caused by a bug in Lion and Mountain Lion, but it can be caused also because another Mac is using the file -

Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
Select the System keychain in the list of keychains in the sidebar of the window. If you don't see the list, click the down-arrow icon below the sidebar.
Then select Passwords in the Category list at lower left. Click the Kind heading in the list of keychain items to arrange it by Kind.
Locate the AirPort Disk Password with the name of your Time Capsule. Double-click the item and check the box marked Show Password in the inspector window that opens. You'll be prompted for the administrator login password. Make a note of the AirPort password, then close the inspector window and delete the item.
Also delete any other AirPort DIsk Password items for that same Time Capsule, which may have had a different name in the past.
Quit Keychain Access and try again to back up. -
Time could not backup message said the back up disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/......iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.( the ..... is my name on the message)
Can anyone please help me, with what to do?
Thanks SueOk.. read C12 and C17 is also relevant in Pondini troubleshooting.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Try the above.
No luck then you should do
A1 .. Load the widget so you know what TM is doing.
A4 .. Reset of TM.
A5.. Verify the backup.
First thing.. though.. do a full network reboot..
Turn off everything.. restart the modem.. wait 2min.
Restart the TC.. wait 2min
Restart the computer. See if it now functions.
You might have to reset or do more severe stuff.. but try with that.
I am offline for 8 hours..
Pondini or one of the others here might be able to help further. -

I am unable to complete a backup and I get this message The backup disk image “/Volumes/Ana M. Hernandez, DO's Time/Ana M. Hernandez, DO.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). I have tried to find help but I can't find it in the apple site. I'm not very techy at troubleshooting and don;t want to dlo anything that will worsen the problem without advice. Thank you.
Reboot the Time Capsule.. Lion has terrible networking issues with the TC and has simply forgotten where it is.
Check C17 for some other issues.. there is some other things that cause it. And you can do a disconnect all users if you have the right utility.
