2 log-in screens after turning filevault 2 on in Mac OSX Lion?

Hi -
I turned file-vault on in Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3 and now I am presented with log-in screens 2 times whenever I reboot my mac. First log-in screen comes immediately, is a light gray screen with filevault-enabled users, so I enter my password there and after some time I am presented with a second normal log-in screen, dark gray with all users. After entering my password in this second login screen, I am able to use my mac.
I am wondering if this 2 log-in screens is the normal behavior after turning on the filevault 2 on in Mac OSX Lion?

Hi Linc -
That is indeed what I am doing now, it is still decrypting. once it is done decrypting, I will start encryption again. I am not sure why the first screen is coming, just an FYI: I do not have firmware password set in my macbook as well.
I will post back the status when I get around this, thanks for your response.

  • Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import pdf?

    Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import single pdf or multiple pdfs? frequently happens(2/3 times)

    Can you provide any more information about the files that are causing the problems? Are these particularly large files? Many pages or images? Have you opened these files in Photoshop CS5, or other versions of Photoshop?
    What do you see when you try to import these PDFs? Do you get the PDF Import dialog, allowing you to select pages or images from the PDF? Is so, is it hanging when you click OK or at another time?
    Any more details about the problem or other info (as well as sample files) you can provide, the easier it will be for us to help identify the cause of your problems.

  • TS3926 Unable to reinstall Mac OSX Lion after internet recovery

    Sequence of Events on My Macbook Air
    1. I saw a flashing question mark in the morning on starting my macbook air
    2. I then tried the internet recovery of my Macbook air
    3. The system took me to a recovery partition where my only option was reinstall the OSX lion
    4. I tried following the system till the Mac OSX lion disk selection
    5. I do not see any disk to select and hence cannot proceed.
    Any pointers? Is my hard disk gone for good?
    Please advice Urgent!!!!

    It's possible that the flash storage is damaged, but first, see if it's working properly. After starting in Internet Recovery, open Disk Utility and tell me if you see Macintosh HD in the sidebar. If so, go to Macintosh HD, open Erase tab and erase the disk. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
    If you don't see it, see if the flash storage appears at the top of the sidebar. If so, choose it, go to Erase tab and erase it. Then, reinstall OS X.
    If you don't see the flash storage in Disk Utility or your Mac is in warranty, take it to an Apple Store or reseller

  • Black wallpaper on log-on screen after wakeup.

    Apols, but I can't find anything realting to this elsewhere. Am still a newbie with macs (though I'm loving it!). Have set my wallpaper to the MAc pictures within OSX, but every time I wake my MBP from sleep, the bakcground is black - note this isn't a crash or "black screen" as I still get my log-on ID boxes etc. When I start up from turned off the Aurora background appears at log-in, so I don't know what's gon on with the wake up log-in screen... Anyone with any ideas?
    Many thanks!

    Have a look here "Topic : Desktop Wallpaper Issues" (http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2132964). Of particular note is if you have EarthDesk installed.
    If nothing there works, may also want to look at "Topic : Desktop picture reset on startup (Missing com.apple.desktop.plist file)" (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2482650&tstart=2).
    Hope this helps.

  • I can't log into my main account with my password, always gets me back to the log-in screen after upgrading to 10.7.5

    After my routine software update to 10.7.5, I can't log into my main log-in id. Whenever I put my password in, it takes me back to the log-in screen. I'm sure of the password not being wrong because i can access my other admin accounts from which i changed the password. All my files and data is in that id. Please help. Thank you.

  • ASUS LAPTOP ,7PRO, IF NO ACTIVITY, GOES BACK TO LOG ON SCREEN AFTER 57 SECONDS WHERE I HAVE TO LOG IN AGAIN

    MODELB5SJ. IF I KEEP MOVING THE MOUSE IT DOES NOT OCCUR. IF I IMMEDIATELY MOVE THE MOUSE WHEN I GO BACK TO THE LOG IN SCREEN I CAN RETURN WITHOUT HAVING TO LOG IN. IF I WAIT MORE THAN 4 SECONDS I HAVE TO LOG IN AGAIN. UPGRADED TO LATEST F/F YESTERDAY

    You may have inadvertently changed your screensaver timeout, which is a Windows issue rather than a Firefox issue.
    Right-click on your desktop in Windows, then select Personalize...
    On the bottom right of that screen you will see a link for Screen Saver, click that. There you can set your options for your screensaver.
    Also, when posting, you'll want to use normal type rather than ALL CAPS, because all caps is considered shouting.
    If this resolves your issue, please mark it as "Solved". If not, please post back again.

  • Black screen after transferring data to new Mac

    I just migrated data to my new Mac from my old one using the Migration Assistant. The old Mac indicated the transfer was complete, but I can only see a black screen on the new Mac, even after turning it on and off.

    The way the link in my last reply said:
    Starting up in Safe Mode
    Follow these steps to start up into Safe Mode.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup, but not before the startup sound.
    Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
    After the Apple logo appears, it may take longer than usual to reach the login screen. This is because your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.

  • Mac osx lion screen texts and graphics jitter/flicker during scrolling

    Hello,
    I have recently upgrade my macbook (late 2008, the only aluminum Macbook model) to OSX Lion, and the screen scrolling is causing fatigue to my eyes as the texts and graphics jitter/flicker even at the slowest scrolling speed setting. This problem causes serious discomfort to reading long text on the screen that requires scrolling.
    Have anyone experienced this problem? Is there away to make the text scroll smoothly without jitters?
    Thanks

    HI PAT:
    HAPPENING to anyone that has the old Acrylic Cinema displays that use the ACD-DVI adapter.
    unplugging the adapter and replugging solves the issue bu it only last for one session if you reboot the flickering comes back so you have to unplug and replug again. is a Pain in the B.
    lot of people complaining about it. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16357859#16357859http://

  • After 10.5.4 update, mac osx system proxy client (HTTPS) does not work!!!

    after 10.5.4 update (some minutes ago) i can't go on https web pages with browser safari and the other applications that uses the system proxy client (for example google notifier). i'm connecting to internet trough my macbook pro cable lan adapter into a LAN with a proxy server (before the update the mac osx system proxy client does work right).
    Help me!!!

    Hello Robert:
    I am sorry to be simplistic, but Apple cannot possibly be responsible for Safari (or any other software product) working in every possible environment. In my business life I used several methods to seamlessly link with my corporate servers from home or on the road. In each case, it was possible, but not without the help of my excellent IT people.

  • Distorted Log In screen after waking from sleep

    Every time i wake my MacBook Pro (15" Early 2011), it's a black screen with the spinning rainbow for about 20-30 seconds and then i get a distorted screen at the log in. I am able to enter my password, and i can see it being typed, but i am worried about why the screen is distorted. Do note that i have had my logic board changed about 4-5 times this year. Anyone else facing this issue? I'm adding a photo to show you what it looks like.

    Well, hae you tried "quirks"?
    Maybe manpage of pm-suspend could help. There are severel "quirks" that solve these graphics-based problem when resuming from suspend.
