Open Disk Utility - click ‘First Aid’ (if it is not already selected) 2. If your “computername.sparsebundle” is not showing in Disk Utility’s Sidebar 3. In Finder's Sidebar click once (to Select) your Time Capsule > then ‘Connect’ > then select Data > “ComputerName.sparsebundle” (having Column view makes it easier) 4. Then Drag “computername.sparsebundle” into the lower part of Disk Utility’s sidebar. It will take some time before the “computername.sparsebundle” appears in the sidebar of Disk Utility 5. Then Select the computername.sparsebundle in the sidebar (Disk Utility) 6. Make sure “First Aid” is selected 7. Click “Repair Disk” As it could take a long time to Repair the sparsebundle, you might be best to start it early in the morning (unless you are prepared to stay up late) I’ll send you “Offlist” (as WAMUG does not accept attachments) a screenshot of my Time Capsule in Finder Sidebar-computer.sparsebundle in Disk Utility for you to see what I mean. Reply back to WAMUG list though as I only give free support to WAMUG, offlist is for my clients.
