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!

  • I get an error mess when trying to complete backup "The backup disk image "/Volumes Time Capsul MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).

    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.

    Try just rebooting the TC.. or a reboot of the network..
    Turn everything off and restart in correct order.. modem.. TC.. clients. 2min gap.
    Try C9 in pondini for that error.

    I generally make a nuisance of myself here by suggesting Apple names are more curse than help. Apple automatic naming conventions are causing havoc.. change everything to SMB compatible names.. ie windows networking which is the base common denominator of networking.. ie if it works with SMB it works on any OS.
    Short.. less than 20 characters. 10 is usually plenty. Why type more than you need to?
    No spaces.. spaces have to be removed even in apple names..
    Pure alphanumeric.. some characters cause issues.. again the apostrophe is a nasty item to all other OS.
    The -1 is stupid Mountain Lion.
    eg Jeffrey Brown's Time Capsule-1
    Change to JBTC

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro backup to Time Machine (on my 1TB Time Capsule) when I'm running Lion OSX 10.7.5.? What does it mean when this error pops up: MacBook Pro.sparse bundle could not be assessed (error - 1).???? Please help me fix this!

    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!

    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.

    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 ,,,,,sparse bundle could not be accessed (error -1)

    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.

  • 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.

    Has the backup been working ok??
    If that is the case simply reboot the TC.. or if that fails, reboot the whole network, restarting in correct order..
    modem.. wait 2min
    TC.. wait 2min

  • HT3275 how do i fix this error - The backup disk image "/Volumes/My Passport/EDS MAC.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 1).

    When trying to use Time Capsule on my passport I get this message
    The backup disk image “/Volumes/My Passport/EDS MAC.sparsebundle” could not be created (error 1).

    That should be a C9 or C17 error.. see
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Try rebooting everything.. as something has lost connection.. perhaps.
    Make sure the disk is actually available in finder.. and try mounting it.

    I recently obtained the 3 TB time capsule and after setting it up I have backed up using time machine and after a few days it gives this error.  I erased the drive and started over but the same thing happened.  I do not see the error message that I get listed in the articles.  Any ideas?
    Error message - The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Ence’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1).

    The best "articles" by far are those provided by Time Capsule and Time Machine guru Pondini.
    He's the guy that Apple calls when they can't figure things out.

    Time Machine could not complete the backup.
    The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Name's iMacsparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1 )

    I checked the pondini fixes and ended up doing the following - in case this could help someone else with OSX Lion and Time Capsule... http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    First, I downloaded and used Airport Utility 5.6 instead of 6.1 - BTW, I had to attempt download and installation THREE times before the program actually installed.  Be persistant.
    Pondini #5: It's possible some names (of all things!) may be a problem.    See item C9.  I had to re-name my Mac, Time Capsule, network, etc... to remove all apostrophes and spaces.
    Pondini #7:  If you have WD SmartWare installed on Lion, it's not compatible, per RoaringApps, and there are reports it can cause this problem as well.   Use Western Digital's uninstaller, or delete the app from /Applications and the files com.wdc.WDDMservice.plist and com.wdc.WDSmartWareServer.plist from /Library/LaunchDaemons.   There may also be a file in Library/Application Support.
    I then had to shut down computer, unplug Time Capsule, unplug modem; plug everything in again, then reboot computer; then had to go to Apple- System Preferences- Network- and reselect my Time Capsule to connect to WiFi again.
    Then opened Time Machine preferences again and attempted back up - it worked!

  • Time Capsule - "Backup disk image could not be created"

    Trying to set up time machine and consistently getting this error message. I can login in to the device and see the drive and space quantity with the airport utility. Airport wireless network is working fine - just can't get past this error message when I initiate the time machine backup process. Ideas? mike

    Mike,
    "The Backup Disk Image Could Not Be Created"
    Here are a couple possible reasons for the error message, “The Backup Disk Image Could Not Be Created”:
    *Missing Computer Name*
    First you might be missing a computer name in the Sharing Preference pane. Go into System Prefs. Then Sharing. In the box labeled “Computer Name” is it empty? If it is blank, you need to put in a name for your computer. Otherwise Time Machine won’t be able to link this Mac with the previous backups.
    *Reselect Time Machine Backup*
    Next, the link to the network drive “Backup” has been lost. Go into System Preferences --> Time Machine --> “Change Disk…” and select the the backup drive again from the list of available volumes. Do this:
    Go to System Preferences --> Time Machine.
    Click the "Change Disk..." button.
    Select "None" and click "Stop Backing Up".
    Now click "Choose Backup Disk" and reselect your drive again.
    Close System Preferences and try backing-up again.
    Let us know if any of the above resolved your issue.
    Cheers!
