The disk image "Name Macbook Pro.sparsebundle" is in use Try ejecting the disk image

I upgraded my Mountain Lion two weeks ago and I've experienced number of issues since then.
Now I have problem with the Time Machine.
When I try to create backup I'm keep getting following message:
"The disk image "MyName Macbook Pro.sparsebundle" is in use
Try ejecting the disk image"
The problem is that Time Machine seem to be ejected, I checked this both in Finder and Disk Utility.
Please could you possibly help me with the issue?
I work on 2010 Macbook Pro

Try the following:
Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to ten
Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
Wait a few minutes, then try another backup

My hard drive failed. I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive. I have my bookmarks saved but am not able to import them into Firefox as the only option is to import them from another browser. Any suggestions?

-My hard drive failed.
-I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive.
-My bookmarks are saved to a folder on my new hard drive.
-I am not able to import them from this folder on my hard drive into Firefox.
- the only option Firefox offers for importing bookmarks is to import them from another browser...is there another way?

In Firefox the bookmarks are saved in a database file called places.sqlite in the profile folder. If you have got this file from the external hard drive you can restore the bookmarks by copying this file to your current profile folder. For details of the location of the profile folder see either https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from icloud and all the synced devices. I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync

After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from iCloud and all the synced devices.
I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync.
Now I have an iPhone with the contacts and iCloud deactivated, but I lost all the contacts on the Mac and the iPad.
There is a way to tell iCloud "restart using the contacts I have on this device"?

An iCloud backup will save the state of your Camera Roll at the time of the backup but, if you delete photos from the Camera Roll, they will not be in the next backup taken.
If you are using the iCloud Photo Library (beta) read this FAQ which will tell you what happens when you delete photos from one of the devices sharing the Photo Library.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
The relevant section is:
How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support.

Hi my name is rachell and im trying to set my brother's new ipod to my computer and it says that im not able to restore from backup because his ipod is to all what can i do? thanks for your help

I do not understand you question/problem.
What does "not able to restore from backup because his iPod is all" means.
Also, there is no viewable photo in your post.

TS2518 I recently had to get a new hard drive on my MacBook Pro because of a crash. I was able to restore to my latest backup, but now when I need to upload to an application like DropBox, iMovie, and such, it won't acknowledge Aperture. I have Lion OS.

I recently had my hard drive crash on my MacBook Pro (OS Lion 10.7.5). I was able to restore my new hard drive from my latest backup, but since then have been unable to access Aperture Library from another application. When I 'request' an upload --- like to Drop Box, iMovie, or anything --- and it drops down the window for you to choose which library you want to choose from, Aperture is not acknowledged. It will show my iPhoto Library and Photo Booth.
I can export from Aperture to Facebook and Flicker, but not from the other direction. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Brenda

Brenda,
Do you mean, the Media Browser is not showing the Aperture Library? What version of Aperture 3 do you have, and where is your Aperture library stored, on your system drive or an external drive?
For the Aperture Library to be visible in the Media Browser you need to have enabled the generation of previews in the Aperture "Previews" preferences. Do you have the option enabled "Share Previews with iLife and iWorks"? And have you the generation of previews enabled?
One other reason for Aperture not showing in the Media Browser could be a corrupted Aperture library. I suggest you try the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" and repair your Aperture Library. Start with reapairing permissions, then try the other options, if necessary. See:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Another reason may be a corrupted preferences file; remove your Aperture preferences from your User Library, see Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics, the paragraph on removing preferences.
Regards
Léonie

When restored. But the 4 does not. AT&T insists its unlocked but they are only going off
Of the request and IMEI number. Is there a way from the phone i can verify it was unlocked?
If AT&T e-mail says it is unlocked, then believe it is so. Insert non-AT&T SIM inside and after backing up restore in iTunes again. Unlock gets attached.
You can check the status of the unlock request on AT&T web-site.

When I upgraded my MAC to Yosemite OS I lost my lightroom. I was able to restore elements because I had the old cd. Contacting Adobe is impossible, how do I find out if they can restore it?? Thanks! Pat

when I upgraded my MAC to Yosemite OS I lost lightroom. I was able to restore elements because I still had the CD. Light room came as a bonus when I bought it at COSTCO last year. How can I contact Adobe people to see if they will restore it? I tried my 'finder' nothing..thanks! Pat

If you took the time to register Lightroom with Adobe after you installed it, you can retrieve your serial number from your account information that is available to you online. Serial numbers are crucial to have available in the event of a computer upgrade or change of computers. It's hard to understand why people don't take care to store those serial numbers where they know they can get them if needed.

"... iMac Computer.sparsebundle" is in use. Try ejecting the disk.

Since 2/4 my backup won't complete. When I open my time capsule I get the message: "The disk image "Stephanie's IMAC Computer.sparsebundle" is in use. Try ejecting the disk image.
What does this mean and how do I eject the disk image?

This is a very complicated and difficult "fix"
Step 1.....Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Step 2.....Count to ten
Step 3.....Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule
Wait a few minutes, and try a backup
