Since I upgrade to Mavericks, I am unable to back to Time Machine. I receive this error message -The disk image "computer name.sparsebundle" is in use. Try ejecting the disk image

Help Upgrade to Maverick fails - now unable to restore from time machine as well
Hello,
I have an iMac (2008) which was running snow leopard. The App store reminders to upgrade for free to Mavericks got me today and I decided to go with the upgrade. After the down load of the s/w and while rebooting, it prompts for user id and password.
My iMac has always had an user id and a password. But strangely it would not accept the valid password for the user id. I have retried it several times and it will not accept the password. Not knowing how to proceed, I wanted to revert back.
So I pop in the Snow Leopard bootup DVD and when it starts, I connect to my wifi and choose utilities to perform a time machine restore. The backup was done just prior to my upgrade to mavericks. I am able to mount my external network storage and locate the time machine backup and choose the disk to restore to and the process starts and after a few minutes it aborts.
There is a log file that is shown - but the contents are not easily understood.
Now I have and iMac that is not functional. I am looking for some help.
I would be open to installing Mavericks from scratch - but I do not have the bootable USB. I would like to use my network drive and use that to start my computer with Mavericks and then possibly extract the data from my time machine backup. I am hoping that the restore of my data files / pictures / documents etc can be restored from time machine.
Any ideas how I can proceed from here? Thanks in advance.
ifmx4everMichelPM,
Have been offline all along. I resorted to your advice and went with installing Snow Leopard on the external hard drive booting the system on that.
I first tried recovering my Time machine backup - but did not work. So I ended up installing Mavericks on the internal hard drive on my iMac first. Then I was able to connect to my Time machine backup and restored all my data and documents. I chose not to recover the applications. The only useful app that I used was office for mac 2011. I went to microsoft's website to do a fresh install of office for mac 2011 and I am back in business.
Overall a painful way to get an upgrade done. On to my next task - preparing a bootable drive with Mavericks and to back up on Time machine.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Since upgrading my Macbook to Lion, the time machine backups are failing - error message: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Jackie Scanlon's Time Caps/Jacqueline Drabczynska’s MacBook.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1)." I have rebooted the TIme Capsule and it worked OK, but don't want to do that every time. Any suggestions? Thanks
Any new info on this?
I had the exact same problem and went crazy and spent a hecka lot of time trying to deal with my brand new 2TB Time Capsule and almost brand new MacBook Pro. Then I thought I fixed it...and I tried SO MANY things, I don't really know what did it...except taking out any apostrophe's in names of stuff that Apple puts in there...BUT...now it's back.

Recently upgraded PC with latest edition of iTunes (1/30/2014), afterwards, received this error message while attempting to sync iphone with PC: Unable to load, resource not found, SyncUICoreLocalized.dll
THIS HAS EVERY APPEARANCE OF A SOFTWARE GLITCH BY APPLE ... So first suggestion is NOT to begin reinstalling various software but to await some answer & fix from Apple. Too many have same problem on various systems, in my view (I am not an Apple rep but have certainly faced many glitches over the years).
PS - LOTS of Apple software problems these days, including many people having their Contacts shredded. What's going on with Apple? -

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.Hi I'd like to jump in here. Your app showed me this:
Time Machine:
Skip System Files: NO
Mobile backups: OFF
Auto backup: YES
Volumes being backed up:
Macintosh HD: Disk size: 749.3 GB Disk used: 453.81 GB
Destinations:
Plastic Wrapper [Local] (Last used)
Total size: 999.86 GB
Total number of backups: 64
Oldest backup: 2013-07-24 23:25:11 +0000
Last backup: 2013-11-17 01:40:47 +0000
Size of backup disk: Too small
Backup size 999.86 GB < (Disk used 453.81 GB X 3)
Time Machine details may not be accurate.
All volumes being backed up may not be listed.
/sbin excluded from backup!
/usr excluded from backup!
/System excluded from backup!
/bin excluded from backup!
/private excluded from backup!
/Library excluded from backup!
/Applications excluded from backup!
Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?
Thanks,

I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?
I figured that was the case, but I've used the same passcode for years and I can't seem to figure out how I managed to screw it up when I set up my phone. Without being able to access my phone for a restore, how would I accomplish this? iTunes? Thank you very much for you help!

In attempting to upgrade CS6 CC I received this error message: U44M1P7. What does it mean
In upgrading CS6 CC I received the following error message: U44M1P7. What does it mean and how do I correct it?
It means that Adobe need to pull their act together and fix their awful application manager. Well, whatever. Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall the programs, try again.

The OS does not detect the drive when I start the system, but Disk Utility shows the disk as an external drive. I seem to be going around in circles. Please take a look at the following screen grabs for the errors I am getting.
But When I verify The sub-partition in the Disk (disk4s2), it asks me to repair disk. When I try to repair disk, it gives me this error.
