BigLenW Level 1 (0 points) Q: sparsebundle could not be created (error 45) I just bought my first sparsebundle could not be created (error (null)) ever Mac a little over 30 days ago and also purchased a 1TB time machine sparsebundle could not be created error null Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Home network storage system. I immediately installed the GoFlex software that included a full integration into Time Machine. time machine (error (null)) This worked perfectly until about 4 days ago when all of a sudden it stopped backing up. I'm getting an error that reads: Time Machine could not complete the backup "...sparsebundle could not be created (error 45)". I can still access the drive outside of the TM program (although not the ATM folder), so the drive itself perfectly installed and connected. I tried rebooting computer and hard drive; that didn't work. I tried re-selecting the drive from within TM; that didn't work either. I'm not really sure what to do...and am pretty pi$$ed at all those "I'm a Mac vs. I'm a PC" commercials right now because this is the same kinda stuff that got me to leave the Windows based systems in the first place. UGH...so WHY is my $4,000 Mac supposed to be any better that an equivelent $2,500 PC?????? Any suggestions on a fix would be greatly appreciated. 2.8 GHz Mac i5, Mac OS X (10.6.7) Posted on Apr 3, 2011 5:03 AM I have this question too Close Q: sparsebundle could not be created (error 45) All replies Helpful answers by Linc Davis, Linc Davis Apr 3, 2011 5:58 AM in response to BigLenW Level 10 (207,995 points) Applications Apr 3, 2011 5:58 AM in response to BigLenW +UGH...so WHY is my $4,000 Mac supposed to be any better that an equivelent $2,500 PC?????? Any suggestions on a fix would be greatly appreciated.+You're using Time Machine in a configuration unsupported by Apple, and then blaming Apple for the results. When backing up over a network, the server must be either a Time Capsule or a Mac running 10.5.6 or later:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427Many people have posted here after ignoring those guidelines and experiencing data loss. There is no fix that I know of. Since Seagate is claiming to support Time Machine, I suggest you contact Seag

That way it at least gives me a single place to look. Maybe https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2804616?tstart=0 it will help others too. Much of the specifcs, especially the hdiutil command line and the ifconfig trick, I sourced from this thread in the ReadyNAS forums. Note that the advice is by no means specific to ReadyNAS drives (I have a Thecus NAS myself). Many thanks to btaroli in that thread for the insight. Time Machine Time Machine is Apple's easy-to-use backup system, baked into OS http://www.levelofindirection.com/journal/2009/10/10/using-a-networked-drive-for-time-machine-backups-on-a-mac.html X (as of Leopard). Unfortunately it doesn't allow you to back-up to a networked drive out of the box. Enabling this ability is pretty easy. Early on there were some reliability issues - which were largely due to the fact that Time Machine created a disk image (more specifically, a sparse bundle) on the network drive, and this was prone to corruption if the network connection was disrupted during a backup. I don't know if all the issues here have been entirely resolved now, but it does seem more reliable. Apple's own Time Capsule, which has been specifically designed to work with Time Machine, uses this same method, so it is no longer an entirely unsupported technique. Enabling Time Machine for network drives So how do you enable backing up to network drives? Open a terminal window and paste the following in (then hit return, of course): defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1 Mounted network drives will then show up in the list of destinations available for storing backups. Getting a working disk image Unfortunately this is not always enough. Often, after doing this, Time Machine will appear to start preparing a backup then fail with a crypt
