Hi Glenn,

Well this is weird. I turn on Disk Utility and I do not see Time Capsule in the list to work with. Even with an ethernet cable connected directly to Time Capssule from the MacBook. Hmmmm. I wonder if it might be a hardware problem now.

From what I can see regarding that error, you are likely correct that the Time Capsule hardware is a-ok. These tips seem to indicate a permissions or naming problem..

Gary,

Here is the error message.

MacBook_002500a7dbca.sparsebundle" could not be accessed (error -1).

It does not seem to be a hardware problem with the Time Capsule. I still think the file is corrupted or maybe the program itself. I will keep noodling with it.

Bill, have you tried to reconnect via System Preferences? If so, what happens when you select the disk and click on Use for Backup? I have had to occasionally connect manually but never had an issue reconnecting.

Hello to the Group.

Last week my Time Machine stopped connecting and backing up my MacBook. I am running OS 10.6.8.

I am using a Time Capsule for the backup harddrive. It seems to be working fine. I can transfer other files and erase them with no problems.

I think the backup file is corrupted. Should I erase it and start over?

Thanks in advance.

Have you added your mobile phone number as well?
And the email addresses under which you want to be reached??

If I try to send a Message to gill.gibbons7 at gmail.com this entry turns
red, because it is not yet registered as a valid iMessage delivery address.

Also, be aware that there's a difference between the phone App and
the MBA application. Your iPhone will switch to texting (SMS) when
an number (or accompanying address) is not reachable over the internet.
Your MacBook cannot do this; there it is sending internet-only.

Strange. Try s.menningh at mac.com ? I'm not yet in your contacts list
but it should work anyhow.

I thing you have not yet completed the set-up.

Sorry to be so helpless at this. I have the same Apple ID on both devices, but when I go to Messages on the MBA - new Message - it asks me to put a contact in the 'To' box but I don't have any obvious contacts. Usually if you start typing a name that is in your Contacts List it fills it in for you? Any ideas please? I must be doing something wrong still.

Thanks.

Hi, firstly to say I love my MacBook Air, but I really don't use it to its fullest capacity, I am still learning. I have downloaded Mountain Lion.

HI,

I recently downloaded the latest version of adobe reader. I can work on
PDFs from a file but I can't download a PDF from a website, they won't
open. Any suggestions.

Thanks

The option key is between the control and command keys, in UK it is marked ''alt''.
