HT4413 what is a macbook pro.sparse bundle password?

I forgot my password for the encrypted backup on my time machine. What do I do to retrieve the information?

As to the externals you want to look at the Thunderbolt types/models as that is the fastest connection. USB 3 will be OK but thunderbolt is the way to go.
As for the Mac notebook you buy get the fastest CPU with the most RAM and the biggest flash storage you can afford.

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro backup to Time Machine (on my 1TB Time Capsule) when I'm running Lion OSX 10.7.5.? What does it mean when this error pops up: MacBook Pro.sparse bundle could not be assessed (error - 1).???? Please help me fix this!

    Apparently I am not the only person having this problem as I have seen many threads about it. If ANYONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME, I WOULD SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT.
    I try and run my backup as I always have, but it HAS NEVER COMPLETED SINCE I UPGRADED TO LION. As many mentions, I updated from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 hoping that would fix my issue and it didn't help at all. I also unistalled WD SmartWare to no avail. It's really starting to annoy me since I have as much money invested in my MacBook Pro and Time Capsule as I do in my car....
    I have more than enough space on the Time Capsule, but Time Machine is still failing and coming up with an error message: MacBook Pro.sparsebundle could not be assessed (error - 1).
    Someone, anyone, please help!

    . . . sparse bundle could not be accessed (error -1)

  • HT3275 I am received an error on my Time Capsule   which states the backup disk image  "Volumes/Data/MacBook Pro. sparse bundle? is already in use.  so time machine couldn't complete the backup to time capsule - any suggestion

    I've received an error message    Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to Time Capsule,   the backup disk image  /Volumes/Date/....MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use.  Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix it?

    I've got mine working again by deleting a partial backup that was on the Time Capsule.
    I mounted the backup sparsebundle, and then browsed the content and found a filestucture named <timstamp>.inProgress. I removed that and the followed the tip to disconnect described above. That did the trick for me.

    Can anyone help me clear this annoying message up?  Thanks for advance....

    The unplugging was of power, if you were unplugging ethernet .. that will not do anything.
    The issue is explained here.

    If a restart of the TC is not adequate you maybe in the 2% that has other issues.. please try a full network restart in correct order.. with everything off.. modem.. then TC.. then clients.. with 2min gap to allow modem and TC to finish boot process.

  • What is Pro.Sparse bundle?

    I am getting an erros message saying the time capsule back up failed becaise the pro.sparse bundle is already in sue.  What is this and how do I correct?

    The sparse bundle is the container your backups are stored in (when made over a network).
    See #C12 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.

  • Time couldn't back up my macbook as pro sparse bundle is already in use

    My Macbook Pro will not back up to Time Capsule as it says the Pro-Sparse bundle is already in use.

    Restart your MacBook Pro and the Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this should solve that problem.

  • I get this error message when I try to back up my laptop:  Time machine could not complete the backup.  The backup disc image "/Volumes/Data/Lou Ann Buesing's Mac Book Pro. sparse bundle is already in use.  Anyone know how to fix it?

    I get this error message when I try to back up my laptop:
    ' Time machine could not complete the backup.  The backup disc image "/Volumes/Data/Lou Ann Buesing's Mac Book Pro. sparse bundle' is already in use. "
    Anyone know how to fix it?

    Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
    This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.
    Read C12 in pondini.

    C17 can be related I think.

  • HT2397 How can I check what region my Macbook pro has been set at.

    How can I check what region my Macbook pro has been set at?

    It will have been set for the region in which it was purchased.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see tis also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25416?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • What versions of Macbook Pro do not support all trackpad gestures?

    What versions of Macbook Pro don't support gestures for left and right scrolling on the desktop in MIssion Control.
    I have several MBPs and to be honest, I can't remember what hardware supports these Lion features.
    Help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jim P.

    Additional info: there are a small subset of 4,1 MBPs that have the multitouch trackpad.  I have one, purchased in late March 2008, just after Apple announced the feature was added to the MBP.  I can scroll left/right in MC.

  • Metal Allergy, what is the MacBook Pro constructed of?

    I recently was required to buy the MacBook Pro for my art school. However, I'm allergic to metal, all metals. So, I'm wondering, what is the MacBook Pro constructed of? Are the keys also metal? If so, does anyone know of anything, such as skins, that I can buy to cover parts of my computer where my hands will be or to cover the keys?

    Ouch all metals? That stinks...I'm allergic to nickel...that's about it.
    To the point.
    No, the keys are not metal. Yes, there are definitely full body skins you can buy for the MBP.
    Just two examples:

  • What Makes the MacBook Pro better then MacBook Air?

    What Makes the MacBook Pro better then MacBook Air?
    I am considering getting a laptop of one of the 2.
    I think Macbook pro is what i want as just a secondary computer, need a laptop that performs same as my desktop IMac
    What are really the differences between the Pro and Air?
    What Pro is best?
    Anyone have problems? and am i best with paying for a brand new computer vs refurb?
    thanks

    It really depends what you use it for.
    I'm in my senior years in high school and I just bought my macbook pro (15 in - $1799 w/out tax). I'm willing to spend the extra money as I am planning to use it to continue my education in post secondary school. I think that the MBP is great for work, designing and for professionals. The MBA is great for portability and chicness. The graphics on the MBP is beyond my expectations and it's great. Its great for many things.
    It all comes to this. Are you willing to spend the extra money on a MBP. What will you be using your computer for? WIll you be using it for a very long time? Are you going to be careful with it? I heard that the MBA is flimsy and can easily break.
    I also recommend you ask a person at the Genius Bar at your local Apple store and they will be glad to assist you. I researched for a solid half of a year before i made a decision and bought my macbook pro.
    Hope this helps.
