Q: Can't back up to Time Capsule

Trying to backup my computer but getting this message "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Lisa Liberman's Time Capsul/Stuart Liberman’s MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use."  It is not currently backing up my other computers.  How do I fix it?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule

     

    Wait a full minute

     

    Plug the power cord back in to the back of the Time Capsule

     

    This simple reset will solve the problem about 95% of the time. Expect it to occur again, so you will know what to do next time.

     

    If the simple "fix" does not work, there is more information about this issue here:
