My Apple Time Capsule stopped backing up a few weeks ago and after upgrading to Mavericks on my IMac I keep getting the message:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/karen’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.
I have no idea what to do and am new to having a Mac -
Also a friend had orginally set my wifi up to be called "Karen's wifi" and it has also stopped connecting to the wi fi also so am using ethernet connect.
Can someone please give me an idiot's step by step guide please so my back will work again?
Thank youLocate the Time Capsule
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 another backup
If you are having WiFi connection problems, you should start another separate post for that issue. -
I have gone through the inital installation and it completed the Back Up however, I continue to get the following error.....The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/Larrys iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.
This is just ML being its usual networking pitbull self..
The phrase "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" never occured to a pitbull.
Reboot the whole network.. shut down everything.. start up in order.. modem.. TC.. clients with a couple of minutes gap..
Welcome to new Lion and ML networking.. !!
And thank apple for dropping the airport utility that works.

My time machine is not able to complete a backup, giving me this error message: the backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Linda’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use. How do I fix this?
Stock standard issue.. asked 5-10 times per day here.. look at "more like this" on the right.
Simply reboot the TC ie pull out the power. .count to 10.. plug the power back in.
Maybe need to restart the network.. in order modem.. router .. TC.. clients. 2min gap.

in Time Machine what if it says The backup disk image “/Volumes/TimeMachine/Kevin’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.
First, restart your iMac and Time Capsule. In most of the cases, this should solve that problem.
If it doesn't work, see > http://pondini.org/TM/C12.html -

Time Machine could not complete the backup.
The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Name's iMacsparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1 )I checked the pondini fixes and ended up doing the following - in case this could help someone else with OSX Lion and Time Capsule... http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
First, I downloaded and used Airport Utility 5.6 instead of 6.1 - BTW, I had to attempt download and installation THREE times before the program actually installed. Be persistant.
Pondini #5: It's possible some names (of all things!) may be a problem. See item C9. I had to re-name my Mac, Time Capsule, network, etc... to remove all apostrophes and spaces.
Pondini #7: If you have WD SmartWare installed on Lion, it's not compatible, per RoaringApps, and there are reports it can cause this problem as well. Use Western Digital's uninstaller, or delete the app from /Applications and the files com.wdc.WDDMservice.plist and com.wdc.WDSmartWareServer.plist from /Library/LaunchDaemons. There may also be a file in Library/Application Support.
I then had to shut down computer, unplug Time Capsule, unplug modem; plug everything in again, then reboot computer; then had to go to Apple- System Preferences- Network- and reselect my Time Capsule to connect to WiFi again.
Then opened Time Machine preferences again and attempted back up - it worked! -
While backing up to Time Machine, I receive this message: time machine error says: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Apple ’s iMac G5.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).

That message is caused by several reasons. Read the Pondini's site to fix the problem > http://pondini.org/TM/C17.html -

Why is my iPhone 5 / iOS7 not connecting to hidden network?
It's a 2,4/5GHz Mixed network where iOS6 and older iPhones are connecting to the network but iOS7 / iPhone 5 not. I can't change the SSID or 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz settings because it's a corporate WiFi network.
