My Time Machine will not perform a back up!!! Can someone help?

I have recently bought a ne IMAc 27inch have been able to transfer all my data from the old iMac24", which is a lot and now my new Time Capsule with 2T of HD will not perform backup. Every time i try to set up TM I get the following message:User uploaded file

I have reserched on Apple forums and have found soluions such as restart the TC, turn it on and off several times, erasing the TC though AirPort Utility (which, by the way has taken over 8 hours), so I am desperate now!

Can someone help?

My new computer has two HD one SSD and one Analog, it's a brand new iMac.

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 27-inch, Mid 2011

The "Analog" disk; it is mechanical with platters which are entirely digital.


Did you name both disks the same?


If so rename a disk.. that is what the error message says.. you cannot have two identically named disks.
