Apparently I am not the only person having this problem as I have seen many threads about it. If ANYONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME, I WOULD SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT.
I try and run my backup as I always have, but it HAS NEVER COMPLETED SINCE I UPGRADED TO LION. As many mentions, I updated from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 hoping that would fix my issue and it didn't help at all. I also unistalled WD SmartWare to no avail. It's really starting to annoy me since I have as much money invested in my MacBook Pro and Time Capsule as I do in my car....
I have more than enough space on the Time Capsule, but Time Machine is still failing and coming up with an error message: MacBook Pro.sparsebundle could not be assessed (error - 1).
Someone, anyone, please help!. . . sparse bundle could not be accessed (error -1)

Time machine is giving me this error;sparse bundle could not be access (error-1)
The time machine is giving me this error; Disk Image"/Volumes/Data/adminstration Mac Book Pro (2).sparse bundle" could not be access (error-1)
Restart the TC.. ie pull out the power.. count to 10.. plug in power.
Still have issues restart the whole network in correct order.. modem.. TC.. clients. 2min gap. Any other network clutter.. restart in order it is connected..
See C17 for more info if you still have issues.

C12 is most popular problem.. but C17 is close second.
I would also read C9 as your naming is perhaps a cause of the problem. -
I keep receiving this message.
Time Machine could not complete the backup.
The backup disk image "/Volumes/Time Capsule/Karla Laura Smith's MacBookPro.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).
Can anyone help me clear this annoying message up? Thanks for advance....The unplugging was of power, if you were unplugging ethernet .. that will not do anything.
The issue is explained here.
C17 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
If a restart of the TC is not adequate you maybe in the 2% that has other issues.. please try a full network restart in correct order.. with everything off.. modem.. then TC.. then clients.. with 2min gap to allow modem and TC to finish boot process. -
Time Machine on my iMac (2.66 i5) is failing with the message:
Time Machine could not complete the backup. The backup image "/Volumes/Time Machine/Shaggylane iMac.sparsbundle" could not be accessed (error -1).
This error appears when the backup is started......it spends a bit of time "Looking for backup drive", then displays the message.
The directory "/Volumes/Time Machine" has the following permissions:
drwx------ 13 root wheel 398 24 Aug 13:15 Time Machine
I was able to login as root and go into that directory. I didn't see any broken links or anything that stood out.
I was also able to go into Time Machine from the desktop and flip through the backup history. It seemed to be responding normally.
Time Machine has been working fine for 2+ years. I suspect it got buggered-up when I accidentally rebooted while it was doing a backup October 12th. Lion was installed in the spring. On the 12th, I installed a Lion patch bringing it up to 10.7.2.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
DougI have not found a long-term solution (fix), but in my case the volume where the Time Machine backup should occur usually is mounted on the desktop but not as a shared volume (incidated as a drive with the people holding hands superimposed over the drive icon). If I drag the drive to the trash (unmount it), the next time Time Machine is scheduled to run, it completes successfully.

My time machine cannot complete my back up. The message I receive says the "sparse bundle cannot be accessed. (error -1) Help please.
GG,
Please read over Pondini's Time Machine Troubleshooting guide, specifically C17. -
I am unable to complete a backup and I get this message The backup disk image “/Volumes/Ana M. Hernandez, DO's Time/Ana M. Hernandez, DO.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). I have tried to find help but I can't find it in the apple site. I'm not very techy at troubleshooting and don;t want to dlo anything that will worsen the problem without advice. Thank you.
Reboot the Time Capsule.. Lion has terrible networking issues with the TC and has simply forgotten where it is.
Check C17 for some other issues.. there is some other things that cause it. And you can do a disconnect all users if you have the right utility.

Time Machine Error sparse bundle could not be accessed
Issue: Time Machine Error "the backup disk image "/volumes/data/.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).
Background: I have an '07 iMac with an external WD 1TB hard drive to store video, pictures and music as well as a 1TB Time Capsule to use for my Time Machine back ups. Once I converted to Lion, I started getting the "sparsebundle...counld not be accessed" error message. The Apple support line directed me to take the issue up with my local Apple store (or else they would have charged me $50). I went to the local Apple store and was directed to erase my sparsebundle and start over. My iMac apparently values the sparsebundle as it would not let me delete it...it would just hang up. I finally had to erase the file from the Time Capsule and start over (based upon some recommendations I found within the Apple Support Communities). I did that two days ago and it looked like I was in the clear. I have about a day's worth of backups and now just started getting the same error message as I did before. I am a casual computer user with limited trouble shooting skills. Does anyone have any ideas, tips or suggestions as to the source of the problem and how to properly trouble shoot the issue?Dirty of Apple.. this is a bug.. that is caused by your upgrade to Lion.
We see loads of issues. Did you upgrade install? I am not sure that that is some of the issue.
Anyway the solution is to restart the TC.. just pull out the plug and reboot it.
Like windows.. first support question. Did you turn it off and on again??

You need to use the 5.6 utility so download and install that.

Go to the disk page and disconnect all users.. same thing as pulling the plug really. -

Time Capsul/MacBookPro.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).
Good Day!
So, I have this problem: Time Capsule says MacBookPro.sparsebundle cannot be accessed (error -01). I have no idea why not, because I am able to access it. See, here are the contents:
Has anyone here dealt successfully with this error? If worse comes to worst, I have not qualms about resetting my Time Capsule.
Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.

" . . . sparse bundle could not be accessed (error -1)" -
Hi,
I just started using Time Machine with Time Capsule to backup my computers. It seems to work fine with my MacBook but I have not been able to backup my iMac. They are both on the same network. As far as I can tell, the settings are the same on both machines. When I do the initial backup on the iMac, I get this error message:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/time capsule/bill’s iMac_0026080c21e8.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).
Any ideas about what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.
Thanks.I had the same problem and it appears that the advice 'rename your computer's name in system prefs -> sharing to something less than 25 chars and no special chars / no spaces did the trick ...
actually .. it did not .. it was trying to create a new sparsebundle ... and it came back with the same error ... the TC has been used by a different mac for 2.5 years by now, with no issue .. i should be able to back up a second mac there, right ? -
Volumes/Time Capsule/Macintosh.sparce bundle could not be assessed error 1
Time Machine is working fine. Time Capsule starts out down loading but part way it quits
and the message shows, "volume/time capsule/macintosh.sparsebundle" could not be
assessed (error-1) .How do I correct this?I purchased a new iMac and Time Capsule and also have a power book, All on Lion latest 10.7.4. iMac works fine with Time Capsule but after the first back up of the power Book I also get the spares bundle could not be accessed error 1. I have tried all the suggestions (some were in error regarding the disk utility) And the disc image cannot be repaired just erased and then a new disk created. I have had to backup the powerbook using a 1TB portable hard drive. Come On Apple lets fix these bugs!
