Time Machine attempted to start it's backup on my TC and came up with the following error:

Where's the green-starred "answered" post in this thread?

It is not answered. Look at the number of people viewing this thread, and all of the other similar posts. Obviously this has become a massive problem.

Like my iPhone 3g, another piece of Apple hardware that sits unused because of bugs. Apple is crapping away its reputation with one blunder after another.

The "Disconnect All Users" trick worked perfectly for me, thanks!

I've tried doing the "Disconnect All Users", as well as all the other suggestions by everyone else on here but... no, it's still not working.

This isn't very satisfactory. It's a simple thing, surely, to make this work. Come on Apple! I'm about to put this back in the box and take it back to the Apple Store.
