HT3275 what about the red i error of "The backup disk image "/Volumes/USERNAME's Time Capsul/USERNAME's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.
The red i error message I am getting is not mentioned in this article. This time capsule backed up fine for months before yesterday.
That is due to the rather embarassing nature of the fix.
Pull out the power cord from the TC.. count to 10.. plug in the power cord.
That fixes it in 98% of cases.
If not use Pondini troubleshooting

And C12.

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. -

What do I do to get backups to resume, when getting this message: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Joyce's Time Capsule/Macintosh.sparsebundle” is already in use." ?
Make sure that no other Macs are backing up 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
Wait a few minutes, then try a backup again -

My time machine is sending me a message; "The backup disk image "/Volume/Data/Dave's Macbook Pro "sparse bundle" is already in use". As a result, the time machine cannot complete a backup. Any suggestions?
Look at the more like this column on the right.. this is the most common problem reported here.
You need to restart the TC.. that is all..
Pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug in power cord.
There are a few occasions where this fails.. see C12 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html -
HT3275 Time Capsul/Charles's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.
I get the above message when I try to back up to my Time Capsule.
Something and it could be TM has opened but not released the connection to the sparsebundle.. it is still in use.
The normal trick is to reboot the TC.. that is the fastest solution.. pull power.. count to 10.. restore power.
But you might need to do full network restart in order.. modem.. router/TC... client 2min gap.
On Lion download a real utility.

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.

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 -
