Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to ten
Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule

My time machine is not able to complete a backup, giving me this error message: the backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Linda’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use. How do I fix this?
Stock standard issue.. asked 5-10 times per day here.. look at "more like this" on the right.
Simply reboot the TC ie pull out the power. .count to 10.. plug the power back in.
Maybe need to restart the network.. in order modem.. router .. TC.. clients. 2min gap.

Also a friend had orginally set my wifi up to be called "Karen's wifi" and it has also stopped connecting to the wi fi also so am using ethernet connect.
Can someone please give me an idiot's step by step guide please so my back will work again?

Reboot the whole network.. shut down everything.. start up in order.. modem.. TC.. clients with a couple of minutes gap..

HT3275 What does "The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/apple's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.
My back up is no longer working. The errors that come up are "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/apple’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use." Does anyone know what this means?
It means that there are bugs in the operating system.

I can select a disk (Time Capsule) and initiate the backup. It only "waits to back up" then "making backup disk available" and remains frozen there. I tried to update the software a while back and was unsuccessful, I think that may be the issue.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. This is the error message I receive.
