After upgrading to 10.12.2 I get the following error message when I try to open image files with a double-click on my Time Capsules: "The application "DiskImageMounter" can't be opened. -36"
The error does not occur when I open local images only with images on the Time Capsules. Same error with .dmg, .sparseimage or .sparsebundle files.
Your backup is locked. Did you lock it? If you look at my screen mine's not locked.
Nothing different. I unlock the file, restart the TC, tried via Disk Utility. I tried the Terminal as well. But he start thinking and stop without any response. It's driving me crazy. 724GB of data and I can't see! ****
If you tried an incorrect Terminal command I don't know what sort of state it may be in. I don't know what you mean by restart the Time Capsule. You should just be able to connect to it.
I think you may need to wait for someone with a bit more knowledge to help.
Sometimes when I use Disk Utility to mount a disk image that's on my Time Capsule (say "sam.dmg"), the folder of the mounted disk image (say "SamsMounted") appears empty. By opening Terminal.app (in the Utilities folder, which is in the Applications folder), I can see that SamsMounted is owned by another user (say "notsam"), rather than me ("sam"). That's why it's not showing me any files. In Terminal, I type:
ls -ld /Volumes/SamsMounted/
and it shows me:
drwx------ 123 notsam staff 45678 Jun 15 2012 /Volumes/SamsMounted/
You can see that SamsMounted is owned by "notsam", which I ("sam") can't read. This doesn't always happen. Sometimes it works properly and is owned by "sam", and I can see my files in the disk image. If it does happen, I seem to be able to fix it by ejecting SamsMounted, and then mounting it by typing into Terminal:
hdiutil attach /Volumes/Data/sam.dmg
instead of using Disk Utility.
As I said, I have no problem dbl-clicking image files stored on my Time Capsule. Which I tried to demonstrate.

Did you try to open movie, archive or something? No issues at all?
as near as I can tell you can't mount .dmg files by dbl-clicking them. Of course you can share them. I haven't tried a movie. Give me a bit.
FWIW, it was released Dec 21st and I updated then. Still doesn't change the sparsebundle or disk image mounting behavior.
Thanks a lot for this work around!! It worked for me to.
Newly released macOS 10.12.3 update has finally solved the problem.
Good New, new macOS 10.12.3 will correct this problem. Have fun, able to access to time capsules.
