Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

AFP - Apple Filing Protocol
The Network Attached Storage (NAS) that you are pointing Time Machine at does not have the features needed by Time Machine in order to do its Thing.  Time Machine needs some specific features that are not typically available on generic networked storage devices.
There are manufactures that support the Mac OS X HFS+ file system formats and implement all the needed AFP protocol packets necessary so that they can be used with Time Machine, but apparently yours does not.
If you are not using a networked mounted volume for Time Machine, then more information will be needed about your Time Machine setup.

  • HT3275 Time Machine gave me this message after updating to Mountion Lion "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."

    After upgrading to Mountain lion, I got this message when it tried to backup to "MybookLive" network disk.
    "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."
    What are AFP features and why can I now not back up to my network disk?

    I had a similar issue when I tried to do a network-share backup w Time machine when the share was on a Leopard OSX G5 Power PC.
    I think Time Machine looks for a minimum feature set support from the afp mounted drives so they can be used with Time Machine.
    Western Digital may have to update the firmware on your device to support the new afp features.
    Hope this helps.

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

"Do I need to erase disk and reformat or is this error message "The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features" indicating some other error?

    That means the NAS drive's OS isn't compatible with the version of OSX you're running.   See if the maker has an update.

    Can anyone tell me what to do my ipad 2 is frozen reset but will not come on seem the apple logo which disappeared and now is frozen

    I really can't tell from your post but did you try rebooting the iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    It's standard boilerplate javascript inserted by Dreamweaver when you add behaviors to your page. The block you posted contains three function definitions. The first covers preloading images (function MM_preloadImages), the second is what you need when an event in one place affects something in another (function MM_findOb) place on your page, and the third is for managing a group of checkboxes (function MM_nbGroup) I think!
    To say whether you could delete them or not, we would have to see the rest of your page to see if you are using any behaviors that might require those functions.

  • Can anyone tell me what this Error Code is??

    I just recently started having my computer go to sleep on me every so many seconds out of nowhere and i have tried everything i know of to fix it. I ran the apple hardware test and got this error..
    4mot/1/400000002: CPU-0
    can anybody tell me what this means?????

    Just FYI, a 4MOT error code indicates a problem with one of the fans. My guess is that the CPU fan has failed and the CPU is overheating. A trip to the Apple Store is definitely called for.
    Regards.

  • Can anyone tell me what this is?

    This primary storyline is expanded as big as it will go.
    If you look closely, there's a thin black line above the storyline, looking rather like a Connected Gap Clip - only it's not. The line is very thin - not even the thickness of one frame in the timeline when zoomed in this far.
    I can't click it or select it to delete it. Even Cmd+A doesn't select it.
    Curious . . ?

    It's not on any of my Macs. But I have Dashboard disabled also.
    Did you ever use what Niel linked to?
    Dashboard widgets are stored in one of two places: user widgets are stored in ~/Library/Widgets, while system widgets are stored in /Library/Widgets. Widgets are stored in widget packages, which are just directories with a .wdgt extension. Each widget package has to have at least three files:
    I wonder why yours is in a different location?
    DefaultImage: The name of the default PNG file that the widget will use when it is loaded. While web pages always have a background, Dashboard widgets do not. Dashboard widgets need to load an image that the HTML file will use as a background while it is loading. We will explore setting up the default image in the next section.

    Shutting down only returns a Mac to a certain default running state.
    If the beach balling problem is there, it can and, most probably, will return.
    Sometimes a shut down or restart can reset things, but if this was something that was nagging issue, it may return.
    It's better for a Mac to sleep or hibernate than to constantly shut it down.
    Shutting down and starting up a computer all the time puts more strain on electronic components than just letting the computer sleep and go into a reduced power mode.
    Sometimes Safari ( or any web browser) can be the culprit as Adobe Flash Player, running inside Safari, can eat up a lot of CPU and RAM resources when on a website that needs extensive use of Adobe Flash Player.  Also, animations and pop- up ads in a web browser can have the web browser using up more CPU and RAM cycles, too! Other web browser factors like having a lot of windows or tabs active can increase the amount of RAM that the web browser is using.
    Also, it a good idea not to have too many CPU and RAM intensive apps running concurrently in the background.
    Also, some unknown process can eat up system resources.
    From time to time if the beach balling returns, launch Activity Monitor app inside your Applications>Utilities folder a see if there are any processes that are eating up an excessive amount of RAM or CPU cycles.
    Any antivirus apps are known causes of OS X slowdowns and beach balling as well as a lot of " crapware" like MacKeeper. Keep software like that off of your system.

  • Struts - Can anyone tell me what this URL is doing??

    Hi
    In a Struts framework, we normally have a class being mapped in the action tag, for example, in the struts-config.xml, we can have the following
    <action-mappings>
    <action
    path="/mapping10"
    type="mypackage.MyMappingAction10"
    name="MappingForm10"
    scope="request"
    validate="false"
    input="/Error.jsp">
    <forward name="success" path="/MappingOut10.jsp" />
    </action>
    </action-mappings>
    that means, if we type something like
    http://...../mapping/maping10.do
    it would go to the MyMappingAction10 execute method and do whatever it's supposed to do.
    But the other day I come across a URL path which looks something like this....
    http://...../mypackage/route.logging.do
    I have been trying to figure out how/why it can get executed because normally, as you can see from the above example, it's only forward10.do (something.do) but in this case, it's route.logging.do (something.something.do) how can I actually find out what program (class) this actually maps to? How does this work??
    I understand that my information might not be sufficient, but I would still appreciate anyone could offer me some pointers to find out what's happening. Thx.
    Sheep

    From what you have given in the code, with struts the only place the requets to /mapping10.do can end up is MappingOut10.jsp.
    You are saying it ends up somewhere else?
    Easiest way to find it would be to do a global search through your code for the text "route.logging.do" It must be specified somewhere.
    It is possible your action is creating an ActionForward on the fly rather than using the one in the action mapping - so check the MyMappingAction10 class execute method to see what it returns, and where it gets that return value from.
    Is there a global actionForward defined for the route.logging maybe?
    Hope this helps,
