Mac.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).
I recently installed my time capsule to back up 2 imacs and 2 macbook pros it was running fine until i restarted my imac and then i get a message.(Mac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).) and I would have to reset my time capsule and then go into my air port utility and set it up all over again I am getting really sick of having to redo my time capsule every time . does anyone have any solutions??
I'm having the exact same problem. As my iTunes library was getting too large, I needed to transfer these files to another hardrive. Since doing this, I'm getting the following error message. The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/MacBook.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). I've also recently updated the firmware to my Time Capsule and now having problems with accessing my wi-fi connection. My fix is having to reset my TC, then setup via AirPort to get the connection. Has anyone else in the community experienced this and know a solution? Thanks : )

Mac.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error 112).tion.
What does this mean? My time capsule gave this message. I got this after I updated today.
That's a common message (but the 112 isn't).
Try #C12 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. If that doesn't help, try #C17. -
Hi, I have backed up 2 IMACs and one Mac Book Pro but for some reason, the 3rd IMAC come up with this problem: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Anthony’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). Why? The computer system is up to date and I have had no issue with the other computers, just this one.
Many thanks

Hi,
Please help!
I set up my time capsule yesterday, and it worked perfectly initially. However, after I used the same time capsule HDD as network file sharing with my MacBook Pro and two other PCs, than the hourly backup failed and gave the following error message.
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/IP’s Mac mini.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).
Please help telling me what to do to restore the backup function.
ipmtFirst, 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. -
/Volumes/Data/my computer.sparsebundle could not be accessed (error-1)
Since upgrading to Lion I keep getting "Volumes/Data/my computer name.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1) message. I will go into the airport utility, delete the backup and start over. It will work ok for a couple weeks and the message comes back. I have the most recent firmware update in the timecapsule. Is there an issue with my timecapsule itself, or do I need to upgrade to a larger one. My current 1 is 1T, my mac's hard drive is roughly 75% full.
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! -
Hi,
I just started using Time Machine with Time Capsule to backup my computers. It seems to work fine with my MacBook but I have not been able to backup my iMac. They are both on the same network. As far as I can tell, the settings are the same on both machines. When I do the initial backup on the iMac, I get this error message:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/time capsule/bill’s iMac_0026080c21e8.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).
Any ideas about what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.
Thanks.I had the same problem and it appears that the advice 'rename your computer's name in system prefs -> sharing to something less than 25 chars and no special chars / no spaces did the trick ...
actually .. it did not .. it was trying to create a new sparsebundle ... and it came back with the same error ... the TC has been used by a different mac for 2.5 years by now, with no issue .. i should be able to back up a second mac there, right ? -
how to fix this error message The backup disk image “/Volumes/AirPort Disk/FARES DEL VALLE’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).
The troubleshooting C17 is the specific article.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
This is generally a Lion error.. and you will need 5.6 utility to get access to the disk area.
So download the real utility. Run it instead of v6 toy version.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Go to the manual setup, disk page and click on disconnect all users.. that will unmount all users connected to the disk and allow it to start working. But there are a number of other issues that are possible cause. Pondini lists some of them. -
For the past several days, I have been getting this message during backups:
Time Machine could not complete the back up. The backup disk image "Volumes/Data/bhoppy2's iMac.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error-1). When I click on the 'help' icon on the message, it reverts to a blank page, and I cannot find anything online regarding the term 'sparsebundle.' In addition, I cannot access previous backups any longer.

When trying to use Time Capsule on my passport I get this message
The backup disk image “/Volumes/My Passport/EDS MAC.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 1).That should be a C9 or C17 error.. see

Try rebooting everything.. as something has lost connection.. perhaps.
Make sure the disk is actually available in finder.. and try mounting it. -
I am unable to complete a backup and I get this message The backup disk image “/Volumes/Ana M. Hernandez, DO's Time/Ana M. Hernandez, DO.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). I have tried to find help but I can't find it in the apple site. I'm not very techy at troubleshooting and don;t want to dlo anything that will worsen the problem without advice. Thank you.
Reboot the Time Capsule.. Lion has terrible networking issues with the TC and has simply forgotten where it is.
Check C17 for some other issues.. there is some other things that cause it. And you can do a disconnect all users if you have the right utility.

"iMac.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error(null))
My time capsule backups of my iMac to the time capsule has not worked since Nov 11. I think I may have turned it off at that time because the frequent updates were slowing down my iMac. Since then I've upgraded the RAM. When I turned on the Time Capsule back-ups, however, I keep getting an error message:
"The backup disk image "/Volumes/My Time Capsule/My iMac.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error(null)).
I don't have a disk for my current Operating system, which is OS X 10.9.2. I have downloaded my last several upgrades thru the Apple Store.
I have gone thru some of the simple steps rebooting everything. I started the Terminal and gave the commands that Linc Davis suggested in Oct 2013, article with same message, but (error(-1)). I got the lines below:
I really don't know what to do during a safe mode restart.
Can anybody help me to get my Time machine working again?
Thanks for any help,

GrowlMenu, GrowlHelperApp, iTunesHelper, Stickies, AlfredFirst, if this is your only backup, you must make another full backup to a locally-attached external hard drive. One backup is never enough to be safe, and backing up over a network is less reliable than backing up locally. Then try each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
1. Restart the backup device. You can do that by disconnecting and reconnecting the power cord.
2. Hold down the option key and select Verify Backups from the TM menu in the menu bar (not the Dock icon.) This operation may take several hours. If the menu-bar icon (a clock that runs backwards) isn't showing, check Show Time Machine in menu bar in the preferences.
3. Erase the backup device. With a Time Capsule, you do that from within the AirPort Utility application; see its built-in help for details. All backups will be lost, so don't do this until you've backed up to another device. After erasing, select the TC again as a backup destination in the TM preference pane. The first backup should be made over a wired connection, if possible.
