My Time Capsule says disc Error

I bought my time Capsule over two years ago but did not use it except on two occasions. When I really got down to using it, it displays DISC ERROR. What are the possible causes and what is the best remedy?

Where is it displaying disk error?
Sometime TM will complain with disk access error but it is more network OS issues... a simple reboot gets it going again. .the disk in the TC is actually fine.
But it can be a faulty disk.. if the error is from airport utility there is very little you can do to fix it..
The only disk function you can try is erase.. a one pass erase is a low level disk function which might help.
Exactly what model TC is it .. A1xxx from the rubber foot??
And what size hard drive is in it.. also from the foot??

  • HT1218 Time Capsule is showing error code -6584)

    My Time Capsule is showing error code - "An unexpected error occurred (error code -6584)"; can someone tell me what this means? Correlated, Time Machine does not show any backed up data although it says that ~400 GB out of 1 TB is remaining.

    On the More Like This.. see the various very common complaints.. just to the right >>>
    First one is good.. anything Pondini responds to listen. https://discussions.apple.com/message/17748380#17748380
    A simple reboot of the whole network.. from off.. modem .. router/TC.. clients.. 2min gap will probably fix it.
    If it keeps happening, tell us your OS. (Most likely Mountain Lion.. which has networking ability of wet string and a pair of tin cans).

  • Time capsule says sparse bundle busy

    Time capsule says "sparsebundle busy" and cannot backup

    Already in use.. is that what you mean.. it is well known error. the most common here since Mountain Lion came out in all its glory.
    Pull out the power cord from the TC.
    Count to 10 (allows the caps to discharge)
    Plug the power cord into the TC.
    98% of the time the problem goes away.
    Tell us if you are part of the select 2%.

  • When I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

    when I try to burn my slideshow.mov to a dvd disc, it will burn but when i put it in the dvd player it says 'disc error'. I have burned it thru iDVD before but forgot how to do it and it won't do it now. The slide show is on my desktop

    Rather than burn directly to disk follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • When I tried to back up my computer, Time Machine says 'an error occurred while creating the backup folder.' When I check the side of the partition where I manually saved old files, the folders are there, but NONE of the files are.

    I haven't backed up my computer in over a year. When I tried to back it up today, Time Machine says 'an error occurred while creating the backup folder.' When I check the side of the partition where I manually saved old photos and documents (including all the pictures from the year I studied abroad/traveled a bunch), the folders are there, but NONE of the files are.
    Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be, or how I could fix it? I really don't want to lose all those photos

    So you were doing a time machine backup to another partition on the same hard drive? Just trying to gather some information so i can provide a helpful response.

    There is an issue with latest Lion update.. it is killing TM.

    Otherwise check via the airport utility if there is something else using space on the hard disk.

  • Time Capsule local snapshot error (MTM FS server)

    Hi
    I found an error in the console log which happens every second.
    It seems the Time Capsule causes this error:

    If I disable the local snapshot: sudo tmutil disablelocal
    The errors are gone..
    But I've no idea why I get these errors.
    I formatted my whole Time Capsule and startet from scratch but the same errors...
    I working with Yosemite and the 2nd or 3nd generation of Time Capsule.
    Any ideas on this?
    I appreciate any help...

    Yosemite is actually not just buggy it is broken. The DNS is broken. After you restart the TC for the next few minutes yosemite can find it.. after that it is lost again.
    Users have finally got so sick of the situation they have started hacking mDNSResponder back from 10.9.
    See http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/01/why-dns-in-os-x-10-10-is-broken-and-what-yo u-can-do-to-fix-it/
    You will get error after error because Yosemite cannot find the server..

  • HT3275 My time capsule reports an error The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-1/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use.

    Help !
    The last few days my time capsule reports an error       The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use.
    To make things worse I seem to be loosing my screen so need to make a back up ASAP

    Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time.
    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
    This will fix the issue about 98% of the time. If you are in the unlucky 2% category, please post back for more assistance

  • My time capsule says it has only 75gb free space but when i go through finder to it there is nothing there. trash is empty by the way.

    my time capsule says it has only 75gb free space but when i go through finder to it there is nothing there. trash is empty by the way. i had to delete some things of it as it didnt have enough room and i was backing up too much irrelevant stuff. now it wants to do a complete back up - about 300gb but there is only 75 free. WT

    Ok first what u have to do is remove the Time Capsule from the time machine software and make sure the computer does not back up to the time machine. Next go into disk Utility and find the time capsule. Once found, reformat the drive. Then start using it. If you cannot find the drive in Disk Utility, then open a finder window and find the drive in the sidebar. Right click it and find a button within the drop down menu that will allow you to reformat the drive. If you are forced to go to finder and you right-click the drive, you may have to explore all the options within the drop down menu to find the reformat option.

  • My Time Capsule says it is full

    My Time Capsule says it is full and cannot complete another backup. How do I delete files from Time Machine to allow room? Thanks!!

    You can delete individual backups. See item 12 in the +Frequently Asked Questions+ post at the top of this forum for instructions.
    This will not damage the integrity of the other backups; unless you delete them all, it will only delete copies of items that appear on no other remaining backups.
    BUT, first find out what's gone wrong, because under ordinary circumstances, TM should delete your oldest backups automatically, when it needs room for new ones.
    To find out just what's gone wrong, download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/timemachinebuddy.html. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).
    Also, answers to these questions may help:
    Do you have other data on your Time Capsule, besides TM Backups?
    Have you recently had any of the following: repairs to your Mac; a new internal HD; a full restore; gone more than about 10 days without a backup.

  • My os is 10.8.4. Airport Utility is 6.3. When I try to pull backups, time capsule says: 'The folder "Pictures" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents.'.

    My os is 10.8.4. Airport Utility is 6.3. When I try to pull backups, time capsule says: 'The folder “Pictures” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.'. So I cannot use Time capsule to back up so what gives?

    Did you use migration assistant when you set up the computer?
    TM will treat this as a different computer and permissions issues can arise from that.
    Pondini is the expert on that stuff.. hopefully he can drop in.
    But I recommend you read all the FAQ to do with restore.. Q14-17.
    And then look at the permissions issues he lists in troubleshooting.

  • My Time Machine / Time capsule gets the error:  The backup disk image could not be mounted

    My time machine / time capsule gets the error:  The backup disk image could not be mounted.

    Reboot the TC.
    If you normally have multiple computers backing up, under Lion there seems to be some issues.. you need to force other users off the system. You can do that through the Airport utility, manual setup, disks, disconnect all users. Note carefully if you use Lion you probably need to download the real airport utility.. 5.6 to accomplish anything useful.

  • What do I do when time capsule says it's full?

    What do I do when time capsule says it's full?

    Basically you have a decison to make about whether you want to keep all of your old backups on the Time Capsule and start new backups on a new Time Capsule (which Apple would prefer) or other hard drive.
    or
    Erase the Time Capsule that you have and start over again with new backups.
    In theory, Time Machine is supposed to delete old backup automatically to make room for new backups, but this does not always work correctly, so you should probably not rely on this over the long term.
