'sparsebundles' - are all my problems related?

I have already asked for help with regard to OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update download - error message every time stating 'the following disk images couldn't be opened - reason - illegal seek'
PLUS
Can't download Snow Leopard system updates - repeated error
NOW
My Time Machine backup - which has worked perfectly for many months has suddenly decided 'the back-up disk image /volumes......sparsebundles' could not be accessed!!
Are all these issues related?
Any advice most welcome.
Julie

No, never have run 10.7 - it was my mistake on the drop down menu!
Software update issues - security update, itunes, java update 14 - all these are not happening for me - it starts the download process and then reverts to an error message.
A previous response suggested I try Combo Update to iron out some glitches - but this I can't download either as once downloaded it tells me ' the following disk images couldn't be opened' reason - illegal seek.
In addition today, my Time Machine has been unable to do its hourly back-up stating 'Volumes/....sparse.bundle' could not be accessed.
I am curious to know if all these issues are related and if something sinister has occurred.
Everything else is working perfectly!

  • With all the problems related to firefox 4.o on this forum I want to know whether upgrading to 4.0 is advisable until bugs worked out???

    Can someone with more expertise who has used 4.o for awhile tell me weather upgrading now is advisable or should I wait until the bugs are worked out?????

    how do you figure whether the addons one uses is compatible with 4.0?
    Thanks

  • Okay here are all the problems that I have

    1. When I burn to DVD movie quality drops dramatically
    2. The button highlight is floating.
    3. The project does not play in widscreen.
    4. When I set the project to play in widscreen, it does not play in full widscreen on my TV
    5. There is no color and no sound.
    HELP!!!
    iDVD 05 didn't do this. I'm so ****** that I had to spend $80 dollars for this piece of crap program.

    Hi
    If You make a DVD to be played on a computer - it doesn't matter BUT
    if it is supposed to play OK on a stand alone DVD-player and TV-set
    Then it depends where in the World it's supposed to that (not ref. to region
    coding - something compleatly different)
    USA -> TVs plays NTSC
    Europe -> PAL
    In Europe most DVD-player can play-back NTSC to a PAL TV but the other
    way around usually doesn't work.
    So for US use. Use a NTSC miniDV Camera - set iMovie to NTSC (often done
    already) - so also iDVD.
    To EU - record as above but from iMovie - goto JES deinterlacer (free download
    on the net) - convert to PAL and set iDVD to PAL - start a new iDVD project
    In iMovie and iDVD is NTSC and PAL refered to as 29.97 resp 25 fps.

    HELP. ............Hi folks hope some one can help me please.Having a problem in Bridge I open my images in ACR,  as I open files in a folder and lets say they are labeled in yellow  they are all going back to  the camera raw default , in other words no matter what work I have done, inc cropping they  all go back to ,as they came out of camera. What on earth is happening? I am on PS CS6. I might point out everything was working normally up to  yesterday, when this first started.
    I recently changed computer to 64bit from 32bit, not sure if this causing  the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

  • Having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this

    having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this.
    I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

    May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
    M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
    When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
    To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

    Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
    After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
    I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
    So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
    I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
    I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
    This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
    I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
    Ideas anyone ?

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

    I have a serious contacts redundancy problem. 
    First I have multiple email account formats,e.g., 2011 MacOutlook, 2008 Entourage, 2007 Window Outlook, iPhone Exchange and these are all connected to the same account. The problem is I had up to 15 contacts for the same person. 
    I deleted the Entourage contacts as that seemed to be the program that was causing the problems.  When I synced this morning, now all my contacts are gone from every where. 
    How can I restore to my last back?  If I restore, it will ask to restore to the back that was just made… which has no contacts?  
    Help would be greatly appreciated !!

    You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

  • Some movie rentals i can transfer from ipad but most not! Whats the problem? They are all SD.

    Some movie rentals i can transfer from ipad but most not! Whats the problem? They are all SD. Some are watched others not. It just seems to be a fluke sometimes that they show up in the rented movies when i sync. And bought movies I always have to manually transfer to my computer!

    How did you rent them ? From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • On my iPad mini, my inbox number count is over 500 even though the inbox. Is empty. All accounts do this on my iPad but all my other device are fine. Problem showed up two weeks ago???

    On my iPad mini, my inbox number count is over 500 even though the inbox. Is empty. All accounts do this on my iPad but all my other device are fine. Problem showed up two weeks ago???

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the Mail app on your iPad mini is showing that you have over 500 unread email messages, but your inbox is actually empty.
    There are several steps I'd use to troubleshoot this situation.
    First, restart your iPad to see if it clears up the symtom:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    If this doesn't correct the behavior, try removing and re-adding the affected email accounts next:
    Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap the affected email account.
    Tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    If the same thing happens after re-adding the account, you may need to use the steps below to reinstall iOS. You may want to back up your iPad to iTunes before completing this step.
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    From:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • Color space-creating a book in My publisher-.when I look at the share book pre print the colors are all dulled out. I work in pro photo rgb in LR and PS -.My Pub is sRGB-.where is the problem?

    Color space…creating a book in My publisher….when I look at the share book pre print the colors are all dulled out. I work in pro photo rgb in LR and PS ….My Pub is sRGB….where is the problem?

    I finally got to my references. This had to do with "soft proofing" on screen in Photoshop.
    So this may not help you at all. Re: Strange sRGB soft-proofing behavior  So go ahead and leave that setting at Basic.
    However there is a Color Management forum that you also go to and see if anyone has answers for your particular problem.
    Here is the link: Color management
    I hope they can help you out.

    I have received notification that  the "Complete My Album", Music Speaks by Candice Glover is now available to download.  I have three devices that are all enabled to receive automatic downloads.  My problem is the same on all three devices.
    Only 0.05 minutes download on each song with the exception of the original song purchase: I Am Beautiful.  What needs to be done to solve this problem?

    It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
    Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.
