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.
Hopefully this helps.
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
