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

  • Time machine couldn't complete the backup to "name" MacBook Pro.sparsebundle is already in use

    Can someone help me resolve this?  I am backing up a imac and bacbook pro.  I recently had to erease all and do the backup over becasue I was running paralles on my mbp and it was taking up to much space.  I excluded paralles and am now getting this error message. TIME MACHINE COULN'T COMPLETE THE BACKUP TO "NAME OF TIME CAPSULE.  The bacjup disk image "/volume/NAME pro.sparsebundle" is already in use

  • Time Machine error: The backup disk image "/Volumes/----/----MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use and resource unavailable?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" 2010 model running Mountain Lion. I have always been able to use Time Machine with my Time Capsule. Just today I have been receiving the same error message whenever I would back up my computer:
    I removed my name before "MacBook Pro". It takes a long time "Looking for backup disk..." first. The disk I put with the time capsule is called Huge Backup, and in Huge Backup there is my sparsebundle file called "----- MacBook Pro." When I open Finder, open my time capsule, and then open my sparse folder, it should mount a drive where I can see my computer's backups. That doesn't work. Then I get this message:
    I once again removed my name before "MacBook Pro" but I can open my sister's sparsebundle who is running Mountain Lion on the same network and her backups work fine. I have researched this topic and have tried to repair the disk in Disk Utility, remount all the drives, remove the drive and restart the backups, and even restart my computer and the Time Capsule. Nothing worked. It just was working yesterday, but now I get this in the settings along with a caution symbol in my menubar:
    Is there anything I could do to fix this? Reconnecting it in AirPort Utility (5 or 6) didn't work. Also, for some reason, the error renamed Huge Backup to Huge Backup-1 as you can see above and below in the messages. I downloaded the Time Machine Buddy widget and this is the error report I got. I replaced my names or private info with [-----]. By the way, the network is called NDR Network, and the Time Capsule is alled NDR Time Capsule. Here's the error I keep getting:

    My Time Machine won't back up. I keep getting: "The disk image “Mike’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is in use. Try ejecting the disk image."
    I've Googled and tried different suggestions from forums, but nothing works. Most of the suggestions are too old anyway. It's doing my head in!
    I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.2.

    So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
    I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
    I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
    Please help!

  • I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

    I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

    No, you should not.  There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

  • If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer?  also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard

    If i have Time Machine backed up on an external hard drive, do i just plug the drive into another macbook pro and all my stuff is in the new computer?  Also, does it matter if the new computer is running Lion when the backed up info came from Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

    No and Yes
    Don't use TM for this purpose, clone your drive to an external, plug the external into another MBP and reboot from it. Please note that booting a machine that came with Lion may not be possible from a drive with Snow Leopard.

  • HT3798 my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?

    my iPod was originally connect to an old HP. The HP has since died and now I own a Macbook pro. I want to transfer the music from my iPod (originally synced with the HP) to my Macbook Pro. Is this possible without losing the music on my iPod?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170) I am no longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro. I am using operation system OSX 10.6.8 and being presented with error message "You have been disconnected  - an internal error occurred.

    No longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170). The operating system is OSX 10.6.8. 

    My problem opening FaceTime after the upgrade is now solved. I didn't pay enough attention when prompted to decide where to store the application upgrade and as a consequence the computer created another "Applications" folder within the existing one. When I subsequently clicked on the icon on the dock to open the application the computer couldn't find the software.

  • Scratches on the back of my MacBook Pro, are these from where they machined the aluminium or was this a worker at the factory being careless?

    There are lots of uniform scratches that are evenly spaced on on the back of my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), are these from where they machined the aluminium or was this a worker at the factory being careless? They are pretty light scratches and sometimes not visible, has anyone got the same on their laptop?
    Thanks in advance!

    There's no way to know the reason why they are there, but it looks like a human mistake.
    You have 14 days to return your Mac if you bought it from Apple, so do it and get a new one. This is what you should do if you have any problem

  • I plan on buying the Early 2013 15inch Macbook Pro Retina and was wondering what's the difference between the Early 2013 and Mid 2012

    Really need a good laptop for editing, and don't get me wrong I love macs.

    Retina units cannot upgrade RAM after purchase (non-Retina units can upgrade storage and RAM after purchase).
    My humble opinion is to buy the 16 GB now while you can.  Unless 16 Gb pushes an already "too much" budget into impossible.  If the 16 Gb pushes too far, you can consider a non-Retina 15 in and buy the default RAM to upgrade later.

  • HT3275 he backup disk image"/Volumes/Data/Sue's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is already in use mean?

    Can anyone tell me what "The backup disk image"/Volumes/Data/Sue's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle is in use mean when it comes to using my Time Machine.   How do I solve this blip in the back-up process?

    The TM backup has not properly dismounted the drive on the last backup or has lost connection in some way.
    It is a common problem.. the most common in this discussion area.. look at the right hand "More Like This" column for multiple similar threads.
    Solution is simple.. some sort of restart is needed of the TC.. you can do this via the airport utility or just pull the power, count to 10 and power it on again.
    See C12 for more details.
