HT3275 "/Volumes/Alyssa McCulloch's Time Cap/Macintosh.sparsebundle" this is message I'm getting not sure what it means.

This is the message I"m getting and none of the trouble shooting help catagories seem to mention this specifically. , “/Volumes/Alyssa McCulloch's Time Cap/Macintosh.sparsebundle is already in use."

Are you really on Snow Leopard as per your profile.. the error really is rare on any OS before Lion and Most Common on ML.
Most common message in history of the TC.. something has failed to unmount.. Lion and esp. Mountain Lion are affected.
Simple way.. reboot the TC to lose the connections..
Might take a network reboot.
That means restart the whole network from off.. start in order, modem.. router/TC.. clients. 2min gap between them.
But from 5.6 utility you can disconnnect all users.

    What do I need to do when I get this Time Capsule error message: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Scott  Steffens' Time Caps/Macintosh.sparsebundle” is already in use.

    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

    Your email provider may have changed certain settings to do with deleting from server when deleting from client so that it no longer works. Are you using pop or imap? If pop then recreate the account using imap.

  • Getting an odd error from a powerpivot timer job, not sure what it means

    Hi Everyone,
    so I am getting this funky error from the PowerPivot Management Dashboard Processing Timer Job:
    The table with ID of '05fa319f-dd29-40d1-b359-417b4d285fa2', Name of
    'DataSources' referenced by the 'Sandbox' cube, does not exist. An error
    occurred when loading the Sandbox cube, from the file, '\\?\C:\Program
    Files\Microsoft SQL
    Server\MSAS10_50.POWERPIVOT\OLAP\Backup\Sandboxes\PowerPivotServiceApplication\8e750a98-850d-4915-bb13-7645fc53adef.11.db\Sandbox.88.cub.xml'.
    Anyone have any idea what this means or how to fix it?
    Best regards, Mike

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you got the funky error from the PowerPivot Management Dashboard Processing Timer Job.
    The error means that there is no such file which exists on that location. If the PowerPivot was removed but the target application remained, it was trying to refresh on schedule and was failing.
    In general we can disable the setting to disallow users to use their own credentials by following below steps:
    1. Central Admin->Application Management->Manage Service Applications
    2. Click the PowerPivot service application name. The PowerPivot Management Dashboard appears.
    3. In Actions click Configure service application settings to open the PowerPivot Service Application Settings
    4. In the Data Refresh section clear the “Allow users to enter custom Windows credentials” checkbox.
    For more information, you can refer to:
    PowerPivot – Error while loading sandbox cube

  • I'm trying to start the Ipod for the 1st time, it keeps telling me to plug into i tunes, not sure what the problem is, I'm trying to start the Ipod for the 1st time, it keeps telling me to plug into i tunes, not sure what the problem is

    I just purchased an additional ipod.  When I turn it on it tells me I have to plug into i tunes.  I can't get any other screen to display on the device.  I have plugged it into my computer and tried to sync but the sync button is not highlighted as a selection.  I can't figure out what to do.

    It's telling you to plug into a computer loaded with iTunes!  You must highlight the iPod on the left side to make the Sync button available.  This is because multiple devices can be simultaneously synced (wirelessly) from the same iTunes and you must decide which device you're syncing.
    Also, Please read Chapter 2.

    Your problem is repeated with the solution ad nauseam.
    But the solution is simple.. pull out the power cord from the TC.. count to 10.. Plug in the power cord again.
    This is just poor networking from Apple.
    Whenever you have TM issues.. this is the place to check.
