Unable to back up my MacBook since latest round of updates (although other MacBook in the house works!)

Since upgrading our Airport Express's (we have 2) and our Time Capsule my MacBook is no longer backing up via Time Machine.
My partners machine is connected in the same way but that works fine.
The error I recieve is "Time machine could not complete the backup. The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Keith’s MacBook (3).sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1)."
I have tried to Verify the disk and it tells me it must be repaired (my data sparse bundle) - the Repair fails though.
How can I get this working again?
I have tried to delete the sparse.bundle from the Time Capsule but that does not allow me to do it.
How can I get my backups working again?

You'd probably be better served to use a conventional external USB:

Easier to use, harder to lose and more dependable.

"generally speaking, a HDD (or SSD) is always going to be more reliable than a flash drive. USB flash drives are made to TRANSFER files, not to store them. Still, you get what you pay for, and I have had a few flash drives that have lasted a very long time"

    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

    I am trying to add a wireless printer to my MacBook Pro.  It was working properly until we had to get a new modem.  I have gone through the steps with the printer customer service rep, and it was working properly for one day.  When I booted up the next morning, the printer was no longer "connected".  It will work if I have the printer and computer connected, but I much prefer the wireless capability.  Suggestions? The printer is a Brother MFC7860DW.  The other laptop in the house (Dell) can print wirelessly so I don't think it's an issue with the modem or the printer.

  • HT3986 when i use windows 7 with macbook pro ,the fan work hardly,how do i fix it?

    when i use windows 7 with macbook pro ,the fan work hardly,how do i fix it?

    Use InputRemapper
    This is one or only utility I know, there are I am sure one or two others.
    And the weakest link in running Windows on Mac: lack of thermal/SMC fan control to manage air flow and heat!

  • Since latest Firefox automatic update, any downloaded jpg is saved as a firefox file and I cannot save as a jpg. Why?? Help please!!

    Since the latest FF automatic update - any jpg I send to myself I cannot save as a jpg. This is so frustrating. I use my camera phone to take shots of our library activities and then to make newsletters, website updates etc. Just started this week. Today is the first day I noticed this problem.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Today 7/28/10

    You can rename the files and give them a .jpg file extension.
    You can force that while saving the file if you add quotes around the name: "image.jpg"

  • Cannot send or recieve text messages through Ford Sync system since latest O.S. update 10.3.1.1779

    My Blackberry Classic easily connected to my Lincoln's Sync system. I was able to receive and send text messages through the Sync. Since the latest O.S. update, I can no longer connect sms services through Sync.
    Should I restore to previous O.S.?

    Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
    My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

  • Dropouts since latest pro application update

    AFter I installed the latest Pro Application Update yesterday, Sculpture and other plugins are having dropouts more than often. I already repaired disk permission etc.. The latency is at a safe 128 samples. The processing is equally divided between the 2 processors. Each running at around 20%. Before the update, everything was OK. Anything I should do?

    Also, if I switch Space Reverb presets, Logic just freezes, until I go out of the program or open expose

  • Our AirPort works fine with two MacBooks in the house, but not my iPhone or a PC laptap...why?

    Help. We live in a house with 3 people. Two of us have macs, the other PC. The girl with the PC has never been able to connect to the wi-fi. Her computer will show full bars, but will tell her that it is unable to connect. Then I got a new iPhone and same thing...strong network signal, correct password, but it tells me that it cannot connect. Why does this happen? Why won't airport let us connect?

    AT&T has not completely updated the MicroCell page and links. The new MicroCell is the black DPH-154 model which is replacing the white "Y" shaped models and you describe it. Functionally, they are currently the same. The only difference is that Cisco/AT&T has done away with the external antenna port and the Computer port. It's not a money making scam.
    You can have multiple phones connected to the MicroCell at any one time without issues. One of the iPhones I assume has the phone number that is associated with the AT&T mobile account. That should be the phone number used to register the MicroCell with (what we call the primary number). The other iPhone, which I will assume is on the same account, needs to be added to the Approved Users List. Once you add the "problem" phone, turn off the phone and then turn it back on so that it can add the MicroCell to its cellular neighborhood.

  • Since latest Thunderbolt Firmware update, most of my third party programs no longer work, is there a way I can fix this?

    Since the latest update, most of my third party apps no longer work, none of my photo software, torrent programs, open office, NOTHING!! It is most frustrating - is there a way to 'downgrade' and go back to a previous version of the firmware, or am I just stuck with no apps that work?

  • Docking iPhone to IMac Since Latest iPhone Software Update

    Since the latest iPhone software version(1.0.2) was downloaded, whenever I dock my iPhone into its charging/syncing dock connected to my iMac, I get the "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone' box, asking me to switch to Airplane Mode. I just select "no" and continue. When I got my iPhone, I had a Windows PC running XPPro, but the coolness of the iPhone converted me to Apple and the new iMac. Is anyone else having this problem, or is there a work around? It's kind of anoying. Thanks.

    Thanks Nathan C. I've also noticed that occasionally when I dock the iPhone for syncing and click on sync, that the iTunes message bar at the tope of the screen is working saying "syncing iPhone", but it just keeps working without anything happening. When this happens I either kill the sync with the slider on the iPhone, or try to eject the iPhone from iTunes, or I have to reboot the iPhone. Then I try syncing again, and it seems to work as it should. Is this happening to anyone else? I wonder if it could be related to the issue with my iPhone dock. Any ideas? If it gets "stuck" during syncing, what is the best way to stop the sync and try it again?

  • Strange Typing issue since latest OS X update

    I cannot type in any finder window since updating to 10.5.7
    I can copy and paste, but I can't type. I can type on the desktop and in spotlight, but once I open the spotlight window (view all results) or open a finder window, the keyboard keys stop functioning.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? What could be causing this. I've tried a wired white Pro Apple Keyboard (I use the wireless white Pro Apple Keyboard) but it didn't fix the issue either.

    Hi Sandy:
    Try trashing the preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restarting.

  • Airtunes icon has disappeared from iTunes since latest OS X update (10.6.7)

    I don't see the icon for choosing my Airport Express speakers anymore. I just updated to OS X 10.6.7 and iTunes 10.2.1 and it's gone!
    I tried to download iTunes again from a direct link - not via Software Update - but it didn't help. (I didn't uninstall the old version though because the app Clean My Mac warned against it)
    Anyone had this problem and found a solution?
    Thanks

    I see it but when I switch to it nothing happens - music keeps coming out of the computer.
