FileVault can't be turned on for the disk Macintosh HD

Friends,
I really need some help here. I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on a MBP 17" late 2011 and I've ran into the following:
I've booted from an external HD (using CCC) and erased/reformated the SSD drive already. I've used Case-Sensitive, Journaled.
Same as above.
The SSD drive is Apple's own installation.
My computer is 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 + 500SSD and extra 1TB Internal.
What should I do? I really need FileVault to run!
Help please!!!
Thanks

  • Help! Some features of Mac OS X Mavericks are not supported for the disk "Macintosh HD"

    I'm on a MacBook 13" mid 2010, OS X 10.7.5, I want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. I have searched around for a few days, I find people with the same problem but can't really get the solution for it. I prefer not to reinstall OS X, I want to upgrade. I don't have boot camp or something just a 250 GB HD.
    Well, while I'm trying to upgrade from the download from Apps Store, I open the installer, press continue then accepts the Terms.. then select Macintosh HD and click install, then an warning message shows up "Some features of Mac OS X Mavericks are not supported for the disk "Macintosh HD"
    As I've read the article that is included in the waring message i did try to install anyway because it say that I would be fine, but when i did try to install the installer starts and after like 3 minutes a window appears, Install Failed.
    I've even try to make a installer on USB, both with the command in terminal and with Diskmaker, but it does not help.
    It seems impossible to upgrade. Please Help me.

    First, see the heading "What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery System can be created" in this support article. If you use Boot Camp, back up and delete the Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant. Try the installation again.

  • Can't turn on FileVault, get message "an error occured during encryption (An error occurred during copying). FileVault won't be turned on for this account"

    Every time I try to turn on FileVault I get a message "an error occured during encryption (An error occurred during copying). FileVault won't be turned on for this account".
    The file is only 96GB and I have 800GB free space

    I had this issue with my Mac Pro. I needed to turn off Filevault because it was causing performance issues with my Adobe video editing software. I got the same message you did. It took some time, but I finally figured out how to solve the problem!! If you look in the console (Finder/Go/Utilities/Console) and go to the system log, you will be able to pinpoint what happened when the filevault failed to turn off. In my case, it was a few Firefox profile cahe files that were an issue (so I copied the profile folder to another disk, trashed the folder on my system drive, then emptied the trash). Then I tried again, and this time it was because of a few photos that were "locked". I unlocked the offending images and then tried once again and SUCCESS! I then replaced the Firefox profile folder to it's original location and everything is working like a charm. But most definately if people have "locked" folders or photos, Filevault will not be able to copy them and delete the encrypted version. I wish I had found a thread like this when I was going through my Filevault nightmare! Would have saved me a lot of trouble, worry and aggravation.
    If you really need to keep files encrypted or protected, simply create an encrypted disk image and keep only the files you want to protect in that image. It's extremely easy to do if you have Carbon Copy Cloner (An amazing and highly recommended  FREE system backup and hard drive cloning app. It will create a backup of whatever files or folders you chose and create a 128bit or 256bit password protected encrypted disk image that you can very easily access at any time.
    Hope this helps!!!!! Good luck!

  • Can I return my iPad2 for the new iPad

    My parents bought me the new ipad2 in January and they also pay for the one year guarantee. The iPad 2 is brand new in good condition. Now, can I return my ipad2 for the new iPad without paying?

    No, unless the store you bought it from has a very generous return policy - the Apple Store official policy is 14 days. The one year warranty is on defects in the product, not for upgrading. You can sell your iPad and use the funds to buy a new one, but you will likely sell for less than you paid.

  • Can I use a substitute for the Sample Clock?

    I have three different analog inputs coming from one device (PCI-6221).  Two inputs are running at the same sample rate while the third needs a faster sample rate and a trigger.  I have these seperated as two seperate tasks but my problem is they both use the sample clock.  Can I use a substitute for the sample clock on the third channel?
    I am running LabVIEW 8.2 on Windows XP.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Ron Deavers, CLD

    Hi programmindragon,
    I understand you are trying to
    configure your PCI-6221 to sample on multiple channels, while having
    different rates and triggers for the channels. Unfortunately, you can
    only configure one analog input task to run at once and all the channels in
    the task must share the same configurations, including the sample clock
    and trigger. This is due to the fact that all the channels are
    multiplexed to a single amplifier and ADC on the device. Thus, you will
    not be able to configure the two inputs at one rate and use a different
    clock rate and trigger for the third input. Is it possible to sample at the
    maximum rate on all channels and decimate the data that you don't need on the certain
    channels, as well as share the same type of triggering? Hopefully you will be able to run your application with the same configuration across multiple channels, otherwise you may need multiple DAQ devices. Please let me know if you have any further questions related to this issue.

  • Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order?

    Hi MM experts,
    Issue: Can we create two POs for the same 3rd party Sales Order
    In Third party purchase process, first sales order created with a spl. item category  and it creates the PR automatically with the Sales order material and Qty and this PR converted PO.
    They got a pur.req. for sale order on same item for same delevery date. They did not get any warning msg. saying that a PO was prviously placed against this sale order.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    If anyone face the same issue, please let me know if you have any answer to this questions.
    Thanks in advance.
    Suresh.

    Suresh,
    It is hard for me to give you a definitive answer since you have created a customized solution.
    How it is possible that we were able to place another PO? concern is that second PO was palced against SO which was already used & completed. they were able to place 2 POs for the same customer same delevery date. How it is possible?
    Normally, the system will not do this.  A third party PR or PO will be 'account assigned' to the Sales order.  SAP standard 3rd party will not create additional purchase reqs unless there has been manual intervention.  Try searching for changes in the Sales order and changes in the original purchase order.  They may give you a clue.
    I believe the normal Item category for third party SO is TAS (I am working from memory here, I am not in front of a system).  I don't know what ZTAG does.  I confess I am not an SD expert.  You might also want to post your question in an SD forum.
    You mention two custom applications, ZMMPLAN and ZSTPMP.  These somehow have functionality that is used to help you convert your PRs to POs.  If I were in your position, I believe I would also look at these applications for clues to how they might be contributing to your problem.  And please don't send me details about these apps.  I will not comment on custom code in this forum.
    Sorry I can't be of more help.
