Sparsebundle in use, error codes, Mountain Lion problems!

Ok ,Apple has another bad experience on its list. So called" smooth upgrade" to Mountain Lion, clearly breaks automated back up on Time Machine. I have rebooted, and still no sustained back up. What a farce. Apple is becoming the old Microsoft.. upgrades and breaking stuff... I am VERY disappointed... what is a formal Apple answer on this. Anyone left in Cupertino , who is not working in iOs , and actually cares about Mountain Lion actually supporting stuff their store sold me ? Tim Cook, you should now be allowing this. Stock price high, customer sat with Mountain Lion- low ?

I have had the same issue.
Nothing on Pondini's C17 has worked for me.
Toggling the "enable file sharing" box and rebooting CPU & Time Capsule worked...for about 2-3 days. Then I get the same error. I gave been putting up with this for over a month. I have been to just about every forum that relates to the "sparsebundle already in use" error and no fix has worked for more than 48-72 hours.
Lion and Mt. Lion correlate with a lot of new issues for me. Getting desperate for some help.

  • When submitting a target survey I get back an error.... I think this may be a safari problem or mountain lion problem as I used to be able to submit surveys on their survey site.

    When submitting a target survey I get back an error.... I think this may be a safari problem or mountain lion problem as I used to be able to submit surveys on their survey site.  This problem occurs if I use my MacBook Pro or my iPad.  I want try  to win a 5000 gift card and can't win if I can't submit the survey.  It lets me fill out everything and only after I hit submit I receive an error.  Target says it's not their problem.  I curious to know if anyone else has tried and receive back an error after hitting the submit button.

    Thanks.....I'll try that the next time I get a new receipt from target.  My old receipts are older than 72 hours now so I can't try Firefox with them.  I appreciate the response and will certainly try this and post a reply if I was successful in submitting the target survey.

  • I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks on used Macbook Pro. When I log in to my Apple ID, it says it was not the same ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. I need to change user/admin as a lot of the folders and apps are in Chinese!

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.

  • Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

    Is there a way of using IE7 with Mountain Lion? There used to be this facility using Safari "Develop" with Lion, but this doesn't seem to work with ML

    Thank you for this, and to Caleb.
    I've tried using Caleb's approach (which is the same as I used with Lion), but the programme doesn't respond now that I have installed Mountain Lion.
    My problem is that I do not want to use IE7 but that a programme I need regular access to will only allow IE7 and I've been told by the developers that it is too expensive to upgrade this programme to allow it to be used by other browsers.
    So, my puzzle remains the same. I could access IE7 and use the programme using Caleb's solution with Lion. I can't do the same with Mountain Lion. I do (I think!) understand your point about the programme requiring IE7 specifically, but if it worked on Lion, why isn't it working on Mountain Lion? Or was I just lucky before?
    I'll try mende1's approach, though I doubt I'm technical enough to virtualise anything!
    Thanks again. Any further thoughts welcome.

  • Error code 8740 ( Internal Problem)

    I am a Mac Desktop G4 9.2 user and currently suffering for the error code 8740 whenever i download the file from internet such as fonts.
    Before getting this message, I had error message saying I need CarbonLib 1.6.0 or later so, I have reinstalled the carbonLib and then I had error message saying my suffit expander needs to be updated,.. so it is done. But, now I am able to download the file but can't expand the file and getting Error code 8740 ( Internal Problem)
    Also, my internetExplorer is viewing sort of unformatted fonts which hurts my eye to read it...
    If there is any tips for this problem... it will be greatly appreciated!

    There may be a problem with the Text Encoding
    Converter; verify that the following files are
    present in the Text Encodings folder inside the
    System Folder:
    Arabic Encodings
    Central European Encodings
    Chinese Encodings
    Chinese Encodings Supplement
    Cyrillic Encodings
    Greek Encodings
    Hebrew Encodings
    Indic Encodings
    Japanese Encodings
    Korean Encodings
    Symbol Encodings
    Thai Encodings
    Turkish Encodings
    Unicode Encodings
    Western Language Encodings
    All of these items should have a version number
    listed, and there should also be an item named Text
    Encoding Converter in the Extensions folder. You can
    extract all of the items listed here from the Mac OS
    9.21 updater with TomeVi
    ewer.
    (16102)
    Thank you for your respond.
    I took a look at text encoding folder in system folder, and there were all components you listed.
    I did dowload TomeViewer, but I am not sure what I should do with this program?? Please tell me in more detail.
    Also, I would like to find out how to install downloaded fonts from internet.
    Thanks

  • Why don't I get iRadio after installing iTunes 11.1.1 using OS X Mountain Lion in the US?

    After installing iTunes 11.1.1 using OS X Mountain Lion, I do not have iRadio (or I cannot find it) in iTunes. Would anyone know a solution? Thanks!

    At this point I recommend selling/returning your iPhone, and getting an older one that still has an older supported iOS.
    Or buying a used or refurbished Mac that will support the iPhone.   http://www.macsales.com/ and http://www.powermax.com/ are both good places to go, and the Apple Store has its own corner of older Macs to go to.   Recognize PowerPC applications are not supported at higher than Mac OS X 10.6.8, and that Macs newer than July 20, 2011 can't run 10.6.8 without serious finagling.   Migrating from old to new Mac also takes some work.
    Recognize you don't have to buy the latest and greatest.  Because if you do, you'll have to always try to make sure the software and hardware are running in sync.   This is the down side of having integrated products.   Eventually it does create older machines that can't run with newer devices.
