Ok, here's my problem, recently I haven't been able to backup. Why this is? Not too sure...I don't remember changing any settings or anything recently but within the last 2 weeks or so I haven't been able to backup at all. When I start backing up it says "preparing backup" then an error message pops up that says "The backup disk image could not be mounted". I have no idea what to do or how to fix this? ANY ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Got a tip for us?

The only thing I can think of is to reinstall your leopard with 10.5.4 update. But that mightn't be the best solution. It will most likely resolve your problem though.
It sounds like something happened to the internal drive on the Time Capsule itself.
Use the Airport Admin tool and connect to the TC. See if you can see the disk.
The error is indicating that the internal drive in the TC is not mounting on your Mac. This is why Time Machine is crapping out.
Ya when i open airpot utility and go to the disks heading, it finds the disk just fine? Like it says its there and all?
When i open CONSOLE, there isnt much info there, all that is there is

then when i type in 'backupd' (without the inverted commas) like you said, nothing comes up?

Hmmm..... you have a Time Capsule!
You'll need to repair both your HDD and TC!
Report back after this!
Seems like the problem is with the sparsebundle image of your TM's backup in TC! The sparsebundle is a kind of DMG in which TM stores all the backup info! Mostly, a repair should fix this problem!

I had the same problem as you. The backup was working great for a few months, and then all of a sudden it stopped working. I tried all kinds of things, and nothing worked. Finally, I erased the TC hard drive through the Airport Utility (Quick Erase), and now it works fine (for the time being). I think the disk image file was somehow corrupted.
same problem
i came home this week to find a love note on my imac computer screen saying "backup disk image could not be mounted". i had a busy week and finally got around to doing something about it. i opened time machine preferences, selected change disk, selected my time capsule (what i use for backup), entered my password for it, and voila! i am backing up again on schedule. hope this helps someone.

I figured it out!!
they might have already addressed this...but I figured out a solution to this problem without having to delete anything or do disk utility...go to the Finder on the left under "shared" your back up drive should be there...eject it...once it is ejected go to time machine and hit backup now...it will then back up without a problem...seems that when the backup drive is mounted on it's own it causes a problem...but if you allow time machine to mount the drive there's no problem...I hope I was clear on this...this *hit drove me crazy!!!! I've tried it many times and the system backs up without a problem...just make sure your backup drive shows up under shared in Finder but is ejected...time machine will work without a problem in this set up

Can you try to DELETE the last backup file which you see in console and then try to back up again.
In your case that is Core services/,,,,"and try again

"Backup volume could not be mounted"
This is my first time posting anything on any forum so hopefully I do this right and it helps someone. I should mention this is using an AirPort Extreme Base Station.
I recently replaced my macbook with an iMac.
The macbook was set up to backup wireless and once setup never messed with the TC. So when I got the iMac I thought I'd do the same but could not get the time machine to backup with the new iMac.
Every time the Time Machine would start I would get this error,"The backup volume could not be mounted." I search on the net and could not find an answer that solved my problem.
Some suggested the TC HD was going bad but I thought it was too much of a coincidence. Others to select the time machine icon, open TM preference and select change disk. And I tried changing disks but would only clear my error, but once backup was attempted again the error would come back.
After all of that what finally fixed my problem was the password was different. I do not remember changing it but I must have because it was similar but only one digit off. This was weird though because I could access the TC look at the HD and surf the net with no problem. But when TM would try to access TC or perform the backup it would error out.
The easiest way to check the password is to go to spotlight type in keychain access and select it from the list that appears.
Look on the top left for system with a lock next to it and select it.
There should be a file name with the name of your (TC.local) double click it.
Now select show password. This is were my problem was I had a different password here and that was why TM could not access TC to start the backup.
Once the password was corrected TM started saving to my TC and it's been working since.
Hopefully this helps.

I have just encountered this problem too.
We have had TC since August and today it decided to start playing up.
Each hour it would give us the message "The backup disk image could not be mounted" and we weren't sure why.
A MacBook and other iMac are both connected to TC and are backing up fine, but my iMac here doesn't feel like connecting.
We have tried reselecting the backup disk, making sure the password is okay, turning TM off and on, but nothing has happened.
After the most recent attempt to connect, it came up with the username/password window to connect, then I went to TM preferences and hit "Back Up Now".
It then gave me a status bar (the continuous one, not the loading bar) and has been rolling over for almost 20 minutes (EDIT: over an hour)
Does it need to be repaired, as in actually repaired? I dont know what the problem is, as the other 2 computers are both happy.
By the way, in Disk Utility, it doesn't show up either.
Anyone with solutions/ideas?
Thanks in advance, mickbab.

Solution: Thanks 480Luis
I just followed the suggestion by 480Luis:
I had the same "The backup disk image could not be mounted" error, and after these steps my Time Machine picked up where it left off (only needed 19Mb for next backup!)
All the best
I just followed the suggestion by 480Luis:
- Open Time Machine Preferences
- Select Change Disk...
- Select your Time Capsule Volume
- Enter Password (if you have one )
- Then Backup Now to confirm it is working

This worked for me
Except that when I went to change disk, i said "No Disk" first, and then went back to change disk and picked my TC and then hit back up now. It's working again =)
Hello.
This is also my first "contribution" to this useful site.
I have had these same problems with my TC. And I tried Luis's tips. Did not work. Sorry.
When trying to backup, after a while (5 mins?) it says:
"Disk repair - The disk "Time Capsule" was not repairable by this computer. It is being made availeable to you with limited functionality. You must back up your data and reformat your disk a.s.a.p."
And.
"Time machine error - the backup volume is read only. To select a different volume, open System Preferences and choose Time machine"
I haven't been able to backup for some while now. And initially my mac told me something about TC image not being mounted or smthng.
However, this is not my biggest problem in everyday life. I have my music on the TC, and I play it from there via iPort express. When I start iTunes, it does not automatically connect TC, hence the music is not availeable, unless I try to start Time Machine.
Sometimes this works, sometimes not. Have not seen any pattern.
Nevertheless TC occationally appears and I almost everytime at least can reach my music, even if TC does not show any backups.
Weird I would say. We got this fixed once. Don't really remember how, but now the problems are back. I run Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I am not that into computing science that I would really be able to fix this
Perhaps the Snow Leopard would be of assistance
How to repair a corrupted Time Machine Backup (Sparsebundle)
You need to run fsck_hfs from the Terminal window. See the link below. It worked for me. It will probably work for you, too.

Best of luck.

I get this and there are a couple of things that work. either in airport utility go to disc and disconnect all users. or eject the time machine drive on your desktop. it is usually white for me when it will not connect.
