After installing Lion 10.7.2, user login can't identify password with Filevault 2 activeted

Hello. I used Filevault 2 until last update of Lion, 10.7.2, because it don't let me logging in...as if unaware the password, but password recovery fortunatly!
Ok, then I've changed password and the suggestion. After reboot the problem persists and it seems the changes have not been applied, suggestion sentence was the same...
I think very much that this issue is a bug of Lion updating.
Can anybody help me? Or do I (we) wait an other update?

Thanks a lot for this hint: it helped me solve the same problem, but there is a prerequisite in order to have that small menu appear on the the upper right corner of the (very) grey login screen I get after installing Filevault 2:
See this discussion :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16826273#16826273
-> you have to enable that menu on the login screen: go to System Preferences -> Users and Groups -> Options -> Check the 2nd option "Display the Input Menu on the login screen " (that's a translation of the French "Afficher le menu Saisie dans la fenêtre d'ouverture de session")
This grey screen isn't the normal one with a background image I had after a normal boot.
Problem description:
My setup: Mac Pro 2008, French numerical keyboard, Mac OS 10.7.3.
The problem appeared after switching from Filevault 1 (user environment encrypted) to Filevault 2 Full Disk Encryption.
My keyboard wasn't recognized properly: it defaulted to a US all caps layout. I had to use the recovery key to log in.
Hope this helps other,
Paul-Henri

  • Although I am new to mac, I am not new to computers and purchasing online.  I can't sign into the App store after installing Lion.  I have had to change my password 4 times in 2 days .  I am so sick of this.  I am trying to buy a tutorial for Lion.

    I recently downloaded Lion and since have had nothing but problems with my new i-Mac.  My problem with the App store is only one issue.  Has anyone out there had any trouble with their components after installing Lion 10.7???????   After several hours on the phone with a tech my situation isn't any better.  I think the tech is sick of talking with me.  He was supposed to call me today and the phone never rang.   He told me he was working on something to repair my problems and needed to talk with engineers.  How long could that take????   If it wouldn't hurt the person who gifted me this i-Mac, I would give it back.

    I am having a similar issue, but in my situation, my users cannot log in.  All of my users are network users on Mini's.  I am running 10.6.8 on my server.  I have created users before with no issues, but have not done so in months.  When I try to log the new user in, I get the following error:
    xpchelper: Could not get path of user account (uid:1029) home directory:/Network/Servers/server.xxx.net/Volumes/Data/Users/username; error; The operation couldn't be completed. No such file or directory. Using home directory.
    CFPreferences: user home directory at file://localhost/Network/Servers/server.xxx.net/Volumes/Data/Users/username/ is currently unavailable. User domains will be volatile.

    I have no idea of what to do.  I have verified that the user looks the same as my other users in WGM. The user's folder was created on the server.  The user has access to the folder.  I'm not sure what else could be wrong here.

  • I have been having issues with my computer lagging after installing lion.

    I have been having issues with my computer lagging after installing lion. Can anyone please help me get the issue resolved? I need it in easy to follow language.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My system preference, powner off, restart disappeared after installing lion twice! Anybody can help?

    After installing Lion on my Imac, the System Preference option in the apple menu (Apple sign on top left side of desktop) has disappeared. In addition, the power off, restart options are gone too. I have reinstalled the Lion twice but the problem hasn't been resolved yet. This is happening when I am logged into adm. user. In other users account, the menu seems to be ok. Any suggestions or recommendation to help me fix this issue?

    Let me clarify the issue again:
    A number of items have gone missing from my apple menu: Software Update, System Preference, Dock, Recent, Restart, and Shut Down are gone.
    All that's left are About, Location, Force Quit, Sleep, and Log Out. Can anybody help?

  • After Installing Lion how do i get the windows partition back?

    The Windows Partition is not showing up after installing Lion.
    I only get the option of booting Mac or Recovery
    How do I get it back.

    Hi!
    I had the similar problem, where my windows option went missing after installing Lion. I gave up trying to resolve it and did a clean installation on windows again by re-configuring my Windows partition & install Windows 7 on it. It seems to work well for now...
    Apple should have warned us that the Windows partition will be unreadable when u install Lion. Hence, allowing users to back their files up on Windows environment before installing Lion.
    Thank god I did not have any important files save in Windows.

  • After installing lion my macpro is very slow

    After installing lion my Macv pro became very slow. takes long time to start ad to shoot down. Is there any fix for this?

    Lion does best when you do a clean install on a new drive, then use Setup or Migration Assistants.
    You're going to have to show / ask what old stuff you carried over from before most likely.
    Then again, people complained when Snow Leopard came out. And before that there was...
    To say it starts and shutdown more slowly is the surface superficial and doesn't say how installed, what, even the model Mac Pro and how it is configured.
    You are going to want to use Safe Mode and Lion Recovery and backups for starters most likely.

  • How to update PowerPC apps after installing Lion OS X?

    I need to update my PowerPC apps after installing Lion OS X, and if not find a way to run them on Lion using a patch, emulator, converter or otherwise? All help appreciated, thanks for reading. Please note, I do not curretny have a hard-copy of Lion or Snow Leopard.
    I feel Apple has really let its users down by creating all these compatiblity problems. Myself along ith many other Mac users have to spend valuable time and money, which we won't get back just trying tto find solutions to these problems. It really does lower my opinion of Apple.

    Use your System Discs you got with your computer and return your system to it's previous state with your last Time Machine Backup. If you were on Snow Leopard and have lost your discs then ring Apple and you can probably get a replacement set for a nominal fee.
    Good Luck

  • My mac has become very slow and crashes frequently after installing Lion

    My mac has become very slow and crashes frequently after installing Lion. I have a 4 GB DDR3 ram and 2.4 GHz Processor. The Mac was running just fine on Snow Leopard. Has anyone else faced this issue?
    Any suggestions on how to solve it?
    Thank you
    Kimberly M. Noronha

    I refer you to the TM expert
    http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/14.html
    As a extra precaution I would copy the user file folders of Music, Documents, Pictures etc to another external drive and disconnect, just in case.
    Always maintain TWO backups of your data at all times, since your messing with one, you need another until your back at two again.

  • I am having start up issues after installing lion

    after installing lion on my mac mini it is having major start up issues, sometimes it will not start up at all. Is anyone having the same issues?

    After I used MIgration Assistant on my new Mac Mini, Lion would have kernel panics shortly after startup every time. I am pretty sure it was some virus software or network filterting software that ran background tasks that was causing the problem.
    Can you startup in single user mode or safe mode?

  • My Macbook pro 13" is locking up after installing Lion

    Anyone else suffering the same problem?
    By locking up I mean is unresponsive, mouse does not move. It became unresponsive while moving the mouse, not making a specific action. The keyboard is not responsive either.
    Not sure if its a deadlock/livelock.

    I have a 2008 MacBook 13" and I frequently suffer from locking up usually right after logging into my desktop (there is one other user configured). This behavior started almost immediately after installing Lion. I have to hold the power button to shut it down in order to start it up again. Annoying.

  • Magic: After installing Lion on a clean HD, all accounts and programs are back

    After I've erased my iMac, I did a clean install through an external USB with Lion 10.7.4. MAGIC: All former user-accounts and programs (include office) are back again.
    What was happened?
    I'm using iCloud and Time Mashine. A few days before, my iMac (10.7.5) had some errors, and than suddenly, it didn't start again. I've tried to reinstall from Time Mashine, but after about 60%, it had quit with an error. It might been an HD error, so I did an secure erase (with Disc Utility). After that, I booted from my USB with 10.7.4 installer and have installed Lion, restarted, and than there it was: All former user accounts and programs are back! I've thought, I has got crazy. But now, I hope, someone can explain me, what has happend.
    Thanks for answers,

    Well we are on the same page my friend haha.
    Good to hear.
    I completed a fresh install of Lion on my HDD and migrated my data over with the migration assitant and all has worked well. Not flawlessly however all problems I encountered I could get past with a little thinking.
    I must say the computer is running so much better now (touch wood, I dont want to post this and have my computer crash xD). No more spinning beach ball, no more waiting excessively for apps to launch. In terms of speed it appears it is now close to the way SL used to be (of course I dont expect it to be on par as Lion is a new OS which is yet to be refined).
    Excellent!
    In terms of battery life I cannot comment, I am yet to use the computer for a period of time on battery. I will report back when I do so, most likely in a day or so (if that).
    I must recommend that if anyone is experiancing slow downs of their Mac after installing Lion, and it is obviously not Spotlight indexing to blame, that they try this. It does appear to improve general speed.
    That is good for many people to know, so thank you.
    I do hope Apple release updates and patches for Lion quite soon, it still has bugs in my mind.
    I have no information on it, but I would bet on it.
    Thanks for all of your help tjk, your a star!
    Wow, those are kind words. Thank you, and you are quite welcome.

  • Is there a way to darken the dates (numbers) on ical. After installing Lion I can barely read the dates of the month in ICal

    Is there a way to darken the dates (numbers) on the ICal calender. I can barely read mine after installing Lion.

    I should note that the time stays on the left of the event name when I re-enter the text (which I had to do all the time before I found the "show event times" button) so I feel like there's a way.

  • Unable to load many web based games after installing lion

    After installing Lion, I am unable to launch several online games (Pogo e.g.). What compatibility issues are being addressed?

    I didn't think reinstalling was gonna do me any good except for getting rid of every single thing I have ever installed since getting this MBP.  I'm thinking it has to be something that is on my computer causing this, especially since it only affects my ability to get to this one site and I only started seeing this problem yesterday.
    So, I went ahead and disabled all my Chrome extensions and I don't have any Safari extensions at all.  That didn't fix my issue.
    I've been trying to run Sophos on here, thinking that maybe I've got a Trojan or some kind of malware, but it never seems to finish a full scan of my hard drive.  That "Plugin" that I mentioned above has me very suspicious, except that whatever that is, it's been on my computer since basically when I first got it.  Maybe it's malicious, or maybe it's just a poorly named piece of software.  In any case, it got updated last night around 11pm, about the same time I noticed my problem.  After trying everything I have, it's hard for me to overlook that as coincidence.
    But, where do I go to gain more information about what that could be?  I should mention that this MBP is basically my first Apple computer.  I've been a PC guy (still am mostly) forever, but I finally dove in and got a Mac to start iOS development.  So I'm sure there are ways to get more information than I am currently aware of.
    Also, apologies if I posted this in the wrong forum.
