I had this problem, and found that changing the name of my Time Capsule's hard drive fixed it.
You'll need to use Airport Utility to connect to your Time Capsule.  My Time Capsule drive was named "Time Capsule HD." I renamed it to "Data," and that fixed the problem.

  • I get an error mess when trying to complete backup "The backup disk image "/Volumes Time Capsul MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).

    When trying to use my time machine got an error message "Time Machine could not complete the backup. 
    The backup disk image “/Volumes/ Time Capsul/ MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).
    Any ideas?

    I have not found a long-term solution (fix), but in my case the volume where the Time Machine backup should occur usually is mounted on the desktop but not as a shared volume (incidated as a drive with the people holding hands superimposed over the drive icon). If I drag the drive to the trash (unmount it), the next time Time Machine is scheduled to run, it completes successfully.

  • HT3275 Time Capsule error message: "Time machine error-The backup disk image /Volumes/Data/Zeb's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle could not be accessed (error -1)".

    Please help! Got myself a timecapsule a few months back. I just use it to back up my mac, and also have a wireless printer connected. I have a Macbook Pro (Mac OS X 10.7.3). When I first got my Time Capsule it backed up flawlessly, but in the last few months has started showing the message above. So now it wont back up at all.
    Have done probably 2 system updates during this time, and even a firmware update a few days ago for the timecapsule. This recent firmware update seem to fix it for a day, but now the problem is back!!! Even Mac support wasnt able to help last time I called.
    HELP HELP HELP!!!
    Cheers

    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 Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Time Capsule. The backup disk image /Volumes/Data/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle could not be created (error 60)"

    We are Mountain Lion using Time Machine to backup to Time Capsule. When the backup tries to run, an error appears after a couple of minutes saying "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." Then an error shows up saying "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to "Time Capsule.The backup disk image /Volumes/Data/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle could not be created (error 60)"
    I low level reformatted the Time Capsule and that didn't fix it. I then tried using Time Machine on another computer to back up to that same Time Capsule and it worked- so I'm doubting it's the Time Capsule.
    I've noticed that when Time Machine runs, that a  folder called Data  at /Volumes/ appears while Time Machine is trying to back up. I think it's making the sparsebundle to transfer to the Time Capsule.
    However, after a couple of minutes- it comes back saying that the disk is unreadable.
    I think it's something wrong with either creating the sparsebundle or opening the disk image that seems to be a part of the Time Machine backup process on the local drive. 
    I am able to create a disk image with Disk Utilitiy without any problem on that system. I've repaired the disk and disk permissions with Disk Utility and replaced the directory with Disk Warrior. I've trashed what preference files I could find and restarted. I've completely removed the backup destination from the computer and added it back again.
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Neil

    Yes, exactly.  It makes one sparse bundle per Mac.
    It's possible the TC's disk is too full for a new sparse bundle, or there may be some other problem.
    Via the Finder, locate the existing sparse bundle (see the pink box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17 if you're not sure how to do that).  See how large it is (plus how large anything else that may be there).  If the total is very near the size of the TC, that may be the problem.
    If not, a clue may be lurking in your logs.  Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs.  Locate the backup in question (probably the first one displayed), then copy and post all the messages here.

    i don't see a sparse bundle file by name per se anywhere.
    Also what is new: as soon as time machine auto kicks off or I manual kick it of, it opens a new window which contains one folder (my backup fies from other days)  the files are "there", but I cannot successfully back up now?

  • HT3275 TIME MACHINE ERROR: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Sean McGuire's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 1).

    I can select a disk (Time Capsule) and initiate the backup.  It only "waits to back up" then "making backup disk available" and remains frozen there.  I tried to update the software a while back and was unsuccessful, I think that may be the issue.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  This is the error message I receive.

  • MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22).

    The full error message says:
    The backup disk image “/Volumes/Charles Pelham's Time Caps/Charles Pelham’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 22).
    I downloaded the widget and can highlight the full log, but can't copy it.

    The following procedure may or may not help, but it's worth a try.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Click on the name of your hard drive that has the exact same name as the drive on your desktop. If you have not changed the name, it will be Macintosh HD.
    Click Verify Disk Permissions and wait for the message. If you need to Repair Disk Permissions, go ahead and do this. Depending on how much data you have on your drive, it may take 30-45 minutes or more for this to complete.
    Then try to setup the backup again.

  • The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/MacBook Air.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error (null)).

    just brought a new macbook air and time capsule. time machine keep returning the above msg.
    can somebody help?

    First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click Renew DHCP lease.
    Try again to back up.
    If you still can't, open the Time Machine preference pane and delete the TC from the list of backup destinations. You may have to unlock the settings by clicking the lock icon in order to do this. Then add it back.
