Jul 18, 2012 12:18 AM in response to marie184by BDAqua,AFP = Apple File Protocol, no idea why it reports that, unless maybe the drive you're trying to use for TM is maybe APM Partition Scheme instead of GUID???

Jul 18, 2012 5:03 PM in response to marie184by Pondini,Please clarify your setup, especially the destination for your backups, and what it's connected to; and exactly when you're getting the message (a screenshot would be good, too).
It sounds like you're trying to back up over a network that's not set up for the AFP protocol.

Jul 18, 2012 7:47 PM in response to BDAquaby Pondini,That's what I'm thinking.
Or, if using File Sharing, SMB was specified, not AFP.

Jul 18, 2012 10:56 PM in response to marie184by marie184,Thanks guys for all your help. Late last night the Time Machine started up and backed up..so I was happy. I meant to say that I have a GoFlex Home external drive and also Seagate Internet back-up...also as I was retraching my moves I had MacKeeper doing a scan..that could have done something.
Anyway renewed Thanks
M.

Yes, absolutely. See this User Tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3027

Jul 19, 2012 9:28 AM in response to Pondiniby marie184,Thanks Pondini..and Klaus1..I've uninstalled MacKeeper..Do you know anything about Sophos Anti-Virus! Perhaps I should delete that too! What's a good protection to stop intruders, theft and so on.
Thanks

OSX is pretty secure; many (perhaps most) Mac users don't have anything else.
See Thomas Reed's Mac Malware Guide for more detail and recommendations.
(If you're running Windoze on your Mac, that's the same as running it on a PC, so that needs all the same anti-everything stuff you'd use on a PC, but not the OSX side.)

You don't need any antivirus or "clean up" software on a Mac. Just keep updated.
