Time Capsule "sparsebundle" error

Whenever my Time Capsule tries to back up via Time Machine I am getting the following error:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Michael Rowe's Time Capsule-2/Michael Rowe’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.
Any ideas why and how I might fix this issue?

This is the most common error since Mountain Lion.. TM backup has not correctly unmounted the backup the last time it finished .. you need to force the unmount..
ie Reboot the TC is the usual way. Sometimes a whole network reboot was in order.. restart in proper order too.. modem.. TC.. clients. 2min gap.
But the older utility has a disconnect all users. Left out of the useless toy utility that is v6.

Disk Utility hangs ("not responding") when attempting to Repair Disk on Time Capsule sparsebundle. Help.

I am trying to improve the performance of my Time Machine backup and retrievals via my 2nd Gen. Time Capsule from my iMac Core 2 Duo hard drive with SL 10.6.8. The incremental backups generally take 20 - 40 minutes each hour generally with fewer than 100 MB of data being backed up. I have read through numerous threads on these forums about Time Capsule and Time Machine issues as well as the very helpful Pondini site (http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Home.html) and have tried many other suggestions (listed below), but have been unable to attempt a Disk Utility repair disk on the Time Capsule sparsebundle file.
After locating the sparsebundle 'file' in the finder under Shared/TC/Data, I am only sometimes able to drag the sparsebundle into the Disk Utility volumes and disk window. About fifty percent of the time, Disk Utility hangs when attempting to drag in the sparsebundle. If I am able to get it listed and click on "repair disk", then the beach ball begins to spin and nothing happens. This occurs whether or not I first use AirPort Utility to "Disconnect All Users" from the Time Capsule. I have given it over one hour to attempt the repair disk, but nothing happens, i.e., not a single message shows up in the detail window. The beach ball just spins, and Disk Utility shows up in red as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu.
Also note that on my new Macbook Air, Time Machine runs quite quickly via this same Time Capsule from my new Macbook Air using OS X Lion (which seems to indicate that the Time Capsule drive itself is OK).
I would appreciate any tips on getting Disk Utility to run "repair disk" on my sparsebundle, as I seem to have exhausted most other options (see below) for improving Time Capsule performance -- aside of course, from wiping the Time Capsule clean and starting all over.... (which I really don't want to do, and from what I've read, has not helped some people who've tried this anyway).
Many thanks!
Although I would like to focus this thread on the Disk Utility / sparsebundle "Repair Disk" problem, I should mention that I have tried the following other things:
1. Repaired disk permissions on my hard drive
2. Used Disk Utility to run "repair disk" on my hard drive after starting up from a SuperDuper external backup
3. Run DiskWarrior on my hard drive, again, from a separate startup disk
4. Did the "full reset of Time Machine", a la Pondini Troubleshooting #A4
5. Changed my computer and Time Capsule names to simple short names with only alphanumeric characters and no spaces
6. Ensured that my Time Capsule is being accessed only via ethernet
7. Relaunched the finder
8. And finally, attempting to use Disk Utility to repair the sparsebundle - thus the nature of this post

OK, no takers out there, but I answered my own question (sort of).
The answer is that even though Disk Utility shows up as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu and appears to hang, it is actually still working. A bit of patience shows that after about an hour, my Disk Utility was able to show the 1.44 TB Time Machine sparsebundle from Time Capsule in the disk window on the left hand side. Once this appeared, I was able to click on "Repair Disk" (note that prior to doing this, I had to "Disconnect All Users" from my Time Capsule using the Airport Utility program; otherwise you will get a "could not unmount disk" error). Again, the Repair Disk function appeared to hang Disk Utility as it showed up as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu. However, after about 8 hours, Disk Utility did run the entire Repair Disk protocol on the sparsebundle. The results DO NOT show up in the Disk Utility details window - so even if you are patient enough to let it complete, you will not see anything and may think that nothing happened. However, you can find the familiar results of the Repair Disk function by looking on Console - find the "DiskUtility.log" under Files: ˜/Library/Logs.
Unfortunately, I was hoping to find a problem that would have been subsequently repaired which would result in dramatically increased Time Capsule speed, but this was not the case. Disk Utility showed everything to be "OK" and I am stuck with a very slow Time Capsule....
(And of note, my new Macbook Air (OS Lion) Time Machine functions blazingly fast on both backup and retrieval to and from the very same Time Capsule - even though, these are occuring wirelessly via AirPort -- granted the size of this sparsebundle is an order of magnitude smaller at this point, i.e., only 10 GB right now)
Would still be happy to hear of any similar experiences or tips on getting Time Capsule to work more quickly.

HT3275 Backup error w/ Time Capsule -- .sparsebundle could not be accessed (error -1)

I have been using Time Machine on a Time Capsule to back up my 2 MacBook Pros. Recently, the one running Lion started giving me this error: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/<computername>.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).

Suggest that you see # C17 in Pondini's excellent support document.....Time Machine -- Troubleshooting.....for all the steps.

Time Capsule sparsebundle corruption help please

Hi
I went away for a week and when I came back I found that the Time Capsule was not backing up. Apparently, my family tells me there was a power outage during my absence and, therefore, this might be the cause of the problems.
I have a Time Capsule acting as our Time Machine drive which is accessed wirelessly from a MacBook.
Double clicking on the sparsebundle got me a message that 'Resource not available' and some searching of this forum makes me think the bundle is corrupted. I followed some advice to use the Terminal to force a mount of the bundle into Disk Utility and this is what appeared in the Terminal window:

I am no Unix guru and I have no intention of using the Terminal except with explicit guidance as I really have no idea what I'm doing with it. As a result, I have no idea what the output means, but it doesn't look good. However I am generally technologically savvy.
As you may imagine, I would like to try to save the back ups contained in the bundle if at all possible before I hook up the laptop via ethernet to the TC and start everything again.
Right now, I have stopped further TM backups. I have already tried switching off TM, rebooting and then reselecting the TC but to no avail.
Any/all help will be so gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
Graeme

Please don't post messages this way. They are difficult to read. For problems with Time Machine I would suggest
you start here: User Tips for Time Machine.
Note that if you cannot mount the sparsebundle in order to repair it using Disk Utility, then the sparsebundle is beyond
help. Erase the backup drive and start over. For a Time Capsule open Airport Utility, click on the Manual Update button.
Select Airport Utility Help from the Help menu and search for "erase." This will get you the help file on how to erase a
TC drive.

Time Capsule backup error

Ive been able to backup to my time capsule with no problem for several months.
Now when I try to back up I get an error that says
"The backup volume is read only."
When I do a Verify Disk in Disk Utility on the sparsebundle I get an error that says
Invalid sibling link
Volume check failed
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
Thanks

I had a similar experience last month in August. Started the TC/TM routine in May 2008 until it just broke down without any warning and/or indication. When I tried reset/restart, I can sometimes mount the TC drive but it says the volume is read-only.
Tried to google for information and also look up Apple Support. Found a few potential links but the suggestions didn't work for me. The time I spent surfing for help in Google was about the amount of time it took for me to start a fresh backup (i.e. 3-4 hours with ethernet cable connected to TC).
So, my advice for you is to move along, reformat and start again. In any case, the backups can die on you anytime, so make sure to have at least 2 copies of every backup. I have 1 external HDD, 1 on TC and 1 on my old WinXP machine. You never know which one of them will crap on you at any point in time, but I figured that the chances of all 3 failing is pretty slim.

Time Capsule Finishing error

When my time capsule gets to the Finishing part of the backup, sometimes I get an error saying that the backup cannot be completed. This has been happening for about a week.
Also, the time machine tab at the top bar doesn't show when the last backup was. It just shows this "Last Backup: -- " This has been happening for the past week as well. It even happens when backups are successful.
Any ideas to why this is happening?
Thanks in advance

HT3275 Time Capsule backup error

I am getting an error while backing up with Time Capsule.
The message: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/XXXXXXXX’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use."
What does it mean?

It means you are more than likely running Mountain Lion (or Lion).
And your Networking has now reached the limits of ML.. ie wet string.
Reboot the whole network.. start in order modem.. tc.. clients. With 2min gap between.

Time Capsule sparsebundle

I can't use time machine anymore!!!
the image of the backup disk “/Volumes/Time Capsule de Gustavo Mor/MacBook Gustavo Moraes.sparsebundle” cannot be accessed(error -1).
this message appears after I tried to do a normal backup in my mac using my time capsule gen 2
the time capsule iso only for 1 macbookpro, and i can't undestand wath's going on...
can someone help me!?

I 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.

3TB Time Capsule Disk Error

Just bought a new 3TB 4th Gen Time Capsule. Have managed to get the wireless network up but cannot find the disk for time machine back up. It comes up with an disk error message. Am I missing something or is the Disk damaged? I thought is was supposed to be straight out the box.

What is the exact error message? Have you used the Time Machine panel in System Preferences to select that drive? Have you configured the internal drive using AirPort Utility?

Blinking orange light - time capsule - icpw error

my time capsule 2 has a blinking orange light and when I right click and hit assist me the error reads icpw check for software update. I follow the instructions to update the software and all software is current. How can I fix this error? my wireless network is down Thanks

Hi - I saw that no one answered your question and although I don't have a TC, I like to learn - so I did some research (the search box on this forum and Google) and iCPW seems to mean "incorrect password" - it may be that the TC or AU is picking up a password problem somewhere in your system - it could be a changed Apple ID or iCloud issue or ????? - so you have to do some detective work and track it down - other posts have referred to these things - the common thread was that if the firmware was updated and the latest AU was used, the error was indentified more accurately - in one case the person changed their Apple ID and the error went away - anyway, I hope some of this is helpful.

Trying to use Airport Extree in Time Capsule nned error code help

I am a log time apple supporter but I have been messing with this since last night trying to get the @^#&# thing to work. I got conencted erlier to the internet now when i come back from dinner i can;t connect and and i get error code 6765. Earlier i got a message somethinga bout a bios but i did nto write it downa nd now can;t get it to produce it.
Can;t they ever make anything that works the first time out of box for us older non techy guys.
HELP
Dan

Thank you for your quick answer, smorkerz. However, I did it and it doesn't work.
I tried to check separately the time capsule and the airport extreme, switching one off when using the other one. The result is that each one works alone but when I use them both, just time capsule appears, works well, and I can't use the airport to print for instance.
Do you understand anything ?

Time Capsule (OSStatus error -6602.) Cannot choose backup disk

I have no idea what to do next. The wireless connection on my 500 GB Time Capsule works fine. However, a few days ago, I noticed that it was no longer backing up. I tried the usual things (resetting Time Capsule, unplugging Time Capsule, changing my disk name) and even did a full erase. Every single time I try to turn on my Time Machine and select the backup disk, it gives me this error when I enter my password:
Operation could not be completed
(OSStatus error -6602.)
I know I am entering the correct password. I tried to run disk utility but even though I can see my Time Capsule, I cannot verify it. Any thoughts?

I've had this problem since August. Every once in a while I do searches and try different things, but so far nothing has worked. Would love to find the answer to this. I can no longer backup anything even though I've reset the capsule and even wiped out my data and tried to start from scratch.
I finally sprung the $9.99/month for drop box just to have backups. It's ridiculous.
This is about the 5th time I've had issues with the time capsule and had to wipe out my backups.

Time Capsule Permissions Error with Torrent Client

Hi all.. i'm having a problem with using my torrent client with Time capsule and i'm wondering if anyone can help me at all?
I am using time caspsule as a wireless external hard drive with my macbook pro. And i'm using it to store my torrent files and as a download foler for my torrents. Lately my torrent client(i've used both transmission and Utorrent) has been giving me permission/data missing errors.
What hapens when i start downloading a torrent is that it will start downloading for about 30 seconds and then gives an error saying either permission denied or data missing.
I'm assuming this is happening because somewhere there are permissions on the time capsule that prevents the torrent client from reading and writing to it.
However when i bring up the info on any folders in the time capsule it clearly startes that i have read/write permissions for all user types.
That being said, i notice that when i bring up the information window of the time capsule as a whole(similair to viewing an external hard drive info) and view the permissions, i notice that permissions for 'unkown' users are 'read/write', however permissions for 'everyone' are 'no access'. i'm not sure if this is contributing to the torrent client error. When i try to change the permission for 'everyone' a messafe comes up saying that i don't have priveledges to change the setting! and i can't figure out how to change this setting. i'm not even sure if this is what i need to change tho.
I am the only user for this time capsule and my macbook pro is the only computer connected to it. i am using airport to connecr to it and i ccess internet through it. I can still transfer files and open up files on the time capsule through my macbook pro. i can access everything on it, it's just that both transmission and utorrent seem to be having trouble accessing the files on it due to some permissions settings which i must need to chang to allow access. however tranmission / utorrent have no issues with dealing with torrent files on my hard drive on my macbook pro, so i;m sure its not an issue with te torrrent client itself.
Any help would be much appreciated!
thanks!

Just go to the disk file sharing page, turn on guest access and give it full permissions for read and write.
But let me say this is probably a poor way to do things.. All the files you collect are actually being loaded into temporary files on the MBP and then copied across to the TC.. in the end you may as well just use the MBP to do your torrenting.. and once you have the files, move them across the TC.
We have also had issues with the TC dropping off the network on the latest firmware. So what you might be seeing is issues with afp connection to the TC.. open the log and see if you get loads of connection and disconnections from the IP of the MBP.. if so you are seeing the issue we are having.

Can't connect to Time Capsule. Error: Could not connect to the disk. Make sure NetBIOS is enabled and try again (53).

I have a Time Capsule that I've been using for a while now. I've got a Windows 8 PC and a few MacBooks that I use with it.
Recently, I had to hard-reset my Windows 8 PC (with the reset button while everything was locked up). When it came back, I couldn't connect to my Time Capsule anymore. I get the error message: "Could not connect to the disk. Make sure NetBIOS is enabled and try again (53)."
I've tried:
Checking on the NetBIOS service to ensure that it's running
Explicitly enabling NetBIOS on the Internet connection
Renaming my Time Capusle to have no spaces or disallowed characters
Pinging both the Time Capsule's name and IP address (both respond)
Any suggestions?

Do you have bonjour installed? If not I recommend you install the full apple airport utilities for windows.. although only win7 is available.. it does install in win8. Apple btw need to do some work on making windows access current.
In windows explorer, simply type the address to the TC in the address bar.
\\TCname or \\TCipaddress
If it fails.. turn off firewall and ensure the PC is located at home..as opposed to work or public. A windows PC can go stupid and think it is suddenly in a new environment for no apparent reason. Your reset might do exactly such a thing.
If you still have issues.. are you getting full internet access ok?
Can you open the airport utility in windows and find the TC? If so go to the file sharing page and turn on the guest account to read and write access. This helps loads.. and make sure the workgroup is set to WORKGROUP.
