What does this mean......The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data-2/Brendan E. Kopacka's iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.
This is coming in off of my time capsule.....The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-2/My Name iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use. What does it mean?
Try rebooting your whole network
modem > Time Capsule > and then clients withing a couple of minutes in between and see if that fixes it.

This message keeps appearing and my time machine is not backing up. What is the reason and how can I fix this?
Maybe this will shed some light on the problem: The Backup disk image ... sparsebundle ... is already in use.

The red i error message I am getting is not mentioned in this article. This time capsule backed up fine for months before yesterday.
That is due to the rather embarassing nature of the fix.
Pull out the power cord from the TC.. count to 10.. plug in the power cord.
That fixes it in 98% of cases.

To go back, reinstall from your last Lion or Snow Leopard backup.

For the past couple weeks, my Time Machine has not been backing up file from my MacBook Pro. I've had the Time Capsule for a couple years now. Entering the Time Machine I discovered that there are no files before "yesterday" yet there are only 161.0 GB of 998.06 GB available. A "Failed" message apprears with a popup message: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/ELBs Time Ca/ELB’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use." How can it be in use when Time Machine takes hours looking for the device?
Another error code message also pops up from time to time: Finder error code -6584. What is that? And how is it fixed?
All software is up to date on this computer and Time Capsule.Further to my earlier response (system re-start and firmware update resulted in full Time Machine backup) I waited until the next scheduled backup to determine success.
As it has turned out, the Time Machine's next backup was for 48 kb and ran for eight hours! The progress bar was complete (solid blue) and I therefore stopped the backup. It has been "stopping backup" for the past hour.
What is wrong with this process? -
My time machine is sending me a message; "The backup disk image "/Volume/Data/Dave's Macbook Pro "sparse bundle" is already in use". As a result, the time machine cannot complete a backup. Any suggestions?
Look at the more like this column on the right.. this is the most common problem reported here.
You need to restart the TC.. that is all..
Pull out the power cord.. count to 10.. plug in power cord.
There are a few occasions where this fails.. see C12 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html -
I am trying to back up but get this message:
The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Dwight’s iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use.The link above is a good resource to use if the simple fix does not help.
Make sure that no other Macs are backing up the Time Capsule at the time
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 -
Hi, I have backed up 2 IMACs and one Mac Book Pro but for some reason, the 3rd IMAC come up with this problem: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Anthony’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). Why? The computer system is up to date and I have had no issue with the other computers, just this one.
Many thanks

Please can someone tell me what is going on when I get this message for the Time Capsule?
Yes, this is because Lion or ML which you are using have lousy networking.
The trick is simply reboot the TC..
Or on Lion use the 5.6 utility and disconnect all users.
For ML sorry.. Apple decided you don't need that function any more!!.

Time Machine fails with this error: "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Barbara’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use."
Can anyone assist me in correcting the problem causing this? Thanks.Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.

Windows 7 applications open with a random "always on top" attribute
On my Windows 7 Professional 64bit Machine, a newly opened window will have an "always on top" attribute. This seems to be independent of the application (In other words, it seems to affect all applications).
