TS1550 Error message for time capsule

I keep getting this message when my time capsule tries to backup my computer.
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Patty Beardslee's Time Caps/Macintosh.sparsebundle” is already in use.
What does this mean and what can I do to fix it?

  • Error Message in Time Capsule

    Does anyone know why I would get this message from a Time Capsule:The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/John Tozzi’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use?  One minute it works fine and then I get this error message with no change in any settings, etc.  Thanks.

  • Error Message Resetting Time Capsule

    I have been trying to reset my time capsule and keep getting the following message after I do a factory reset. "an unexpected error occurred. Try again." I am using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5  and airport utility version  6.3. I have tried a soft reset, a hard seset and both factory resets. I keep getting the same error message. It finds the time capsule, finds the wireless router, but then I get the above error message. Any suggestions?

    Ok, got you..
    This is a poor setup since you have no ethernet connection. And setting up join a wireless network can be a pain in the latest version of the utility.
    What computer are you using.. it is possible to do a dual network setup.. where the computer gets internet via wireless but backs up over ethernet. This is easy on a desktop and perhaps also ok if you have a laptop with an ethernet port.. unlike some of the new ones.. and don't carry it around much.
    Or you need to join the TC to the existing wireless network.. this will give super slow response to the TC and backups going through the whole system so that it exposes the TC to the whole network. Not really a good idea.
    To set that up though you can do it using the v5.6 utility.
    Download and install it into your Lion computer.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Go to manual setup.
    Go to the airport and wireless page.
    Hold down the option key when you select wireless.
    This will reveal other modes that are hidden including "join a wireless network"
    It can be done also in the 6.3 utility.. but it is rather less clear what you are doing.
    You need to reset the TC.. and then wait until it show up in the wireless listing under airport icon.. you can then select it and it will open airport utility.. and it should offer you to join the existing wireless network.

  • Are there any firmaware updates for time capsule?

    Are there any firmware updates for Time Capsule/Time machine?
    I just had a new hybrid (SSD and spinning disk) drive (750 GB) installed on my MacBook Pro and used Boot Kamp to partition it and run Windows xp. Now, my previously working Time Machine won't function. It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use)  preventing the back-up from working properly. When I try and remove and re-install Time Capsule as the disk to back-up to, it still doesn't work. My plan "B" is get a second Time Capsule and dedicate it to the MacBook. But, I fear I'll face the same problem.
    When I open to reconfigure Time Machine, the Time Capsule disk is identified as the back-up, but it's also seen in the "available disks to use for back-up" along with with Boot Kamp disk which is part of the new SSD hybrid hard drive just installed. (Remember it's the partitioned part running Windows xp.)
    I've unplugged/plugged-in the ethernet internet connection and the power cord many times to no avail. The message still says the sparsebundle is in the way.
    Do you think deleting Boot Kamp disk from the list of available hard drives might solve the problem?

    TM can only use AFP and only on disks formatted HFS+ (ie Mac Extended Journaled) so it should not bring up a boot camp partition as a possible destination at all .. but I have not done that seutp.
    It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use)
    That error is well known. It should simply required the TC to be restarted..
    That sometimes gets things working where the simple restart won't.
    I would recommend using short names, with no spaces and pure alphanumeric. 
    That is C9
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    If you have a more complicated setup.. I would recommend firstly doing a TM reset in the computer.
    See A4 in the same reference.
    Do a verify then of the sparsebundle on the TC.. A5 but you might need to inherit the old backup if you want to continue an old backup.. A new hard disk will make the TM consider the old backup no longer belongs to the computer.. there is a UUID connection to the actual hard disk used in the backup.
    Again read the info in pondini. B5 and B6.
    The sparsebundle in use is C12 but there are a number of sparsebundle issues in section C.. C17 is another common issue.
    Some of what you have done is not adequate.. eg disconnecting ethernet is not enough.. you need to reboot the TC.

  • I can't connect to the drive on my airport time machine and am receiving the message: "AirPort Time Capsule" can't be opened because the original item can't be found.

    Time capsule has been working perfectly for months.
    Suddenly I can't connect to the drive on my airport time capsule and am receiving the message: “AirPort Time Capsule” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.
    Time machine appears to be still backing up (last backup within the last hour), but drive is not visible and I have files stored on it.
    I have tried rebooting everything in order as suggested for other issues, anyone got any ideas how to see the drive again??

    What OS are you running??
    It is very typical Yosemite issue.
    1. In airport utility does the TC show up.. if so click it.. and see the summary page which will include its IP address. That is what you are after.
    From my screenshot you can see the TC address is 192.168.2.57
    It might well show up briefly after a reboot or in ipad / iphone version utility. Yosemite is hopeless. The airport utility hardly works.
    2. In Finder use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in SMB://192.168.2.57 (replace with IP you discover).
    If it is possible it will request a password.. type that in and DO NOT FORGET.. to store it in your keychain.
    This will work until the TC changes IP which won't happen if it is main router.. but will happen if it is bridged.. so you need to tell me the whole network setup.
    Mavericks is nearly as bad and the above instructions should be universal except I would use AFP instead of SMB. Apparently Yosemite is now totally Windows oriented.
