HT3275 What is a sparsebundle and how do I get it doing whatever it is meant to be doing?

Backups using Time Capsule were fine until my husband backed his notebook up to the TC. Since then I have been receiving an error message as follows... The backup disk image “/Volumes/MYNAME's Time /MYNAME MacBook Air.sparsebundle is already in use."  Help?
Looking at the TimeCapsule files in finder I can see three sparsebundle files - one for my Mac Air, one for our iMac, adn the last for my husbands Macbook.  Mine says that it was last modified today (though it wasnt) and the other two say they were last modified in July 2014
Ok - I find this TimeCapsule stuff pretty confusing - obviously it wasnt set up right .... what should i do next?  If it makes any difference, I am using Mac OS X version 10.6.8

Try just rebooting the TC.. or restart of the whole network, in correct order.. modem.. router/TC.. clients.
