FileVault Encryption paused

FileVault Encryption paused during setup of NEW Macbook Air. Says "Connect to power adapter to resume encryption". Kept connected to power adapter for 2 days, nothing has changed. Blue status line looks like it is complete but will not finish encryption. Why?

Filevault encryption paused, despite reset of PRAM and using terminal commands

I have been trying to partition my HDD but am unable to because file vault encryption is paused - and has been since October 2014.
I attempted making a new user to see if this would bypass it, but it didn't.
I have reset the PRAM and have repaired the HDD both in recovery and normal, neither work.
I have also used terminal command "sudo fdesetup disable" to attempt turning it off, but that doesn't work either.
Help please??

Has anyone found a solution to fixing the FileVault "encryption paused" error?

I got my Macbook Air in mid January 2015. When I set it up I decided to enable FileVault but after a few minutes the encryption failed and now it will not continue and complete, even when I have my computer on and plugged in. I have seen many different possible solutions, but none that really worked well. Has anyone found a good solution to the issue?

New Macbook Pro FileVault Encrpytion Paused "Connect power adapter to resume encryption"

Does anyone have information on what is causing the FileVault encryption error with OS X Yosemitie? I just purchased a new 15 inch 2.5 GHz (mid-2014) MacBook Pro and during the initial installation / setup I elected to use FileVault to encrypt my 250GB SSD. As the encryption process was completing, it gave me an error stating the encryption was paused and "Connect power adapter to resume encryption."
The MacBook Pro is connected to its power supply. I should note this is my second MBP, I had this same issue with the 1st MBP, which was returned to Apple and replaced with another new MBP. I just don't understand how Apple can release an OS with an option to encrypt the drive if it doesn't work.

So, after 30 minutes with a support person on chat I asked to be escalated. During the time I waited for the sr. tech to come online I decided the best course of action was to erase the disk and re-install Yosemite. The sr. tech came on and said they are very much aware of this issue and the solution is to erase the disk and re-install Yosemite. This was quite easy.
I followed these instructions which matched what the sr. tech provided: OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X
Just be sure to erase the correct disk. For me it was the 2nd Macintosh HD in the list.
Also be sure to choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format, not Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted).
You'll need to re-install the included apps (Pages, Garage Band, etc.) by going to the App Store and choosing Purchased.
Hope this helps!

FileVault stuck on "Encryption Paused"

After upgrading my MPB to Yosemite, I elected to turn on FileVault. In the Security & Privacy panel of System Preferences, the status shows "Encryption paused" and the text under the progress bar reads, "Connect power adapter to resume encryption." Trouble is, I am running from the power adapter!
I have rebooted and tried another power adapter. The battery icon in the menu bar correctly changes from battery to power adapter as I connect and disconnect. However, the encryption status never changes. I have left the machine running overnight with no change.
Any ideas?

My happened exactly the same thing. Stuck at Encryption Paused, and already tried all the recommendation in this post.
It's no longer moving anywhere now.

Filevault stuck on encryption paused, but not to plug in

Ok. So I got a Macbook Air and chose to enable FileVault. About 3 days later, i went back to see what it was doing because "reverting from FileVault" was using "significant energy". So it said encryption paused, please plug in AC adapter to continue or whatever. I was on battery. I plugged in the MagSafe adapter and the message saying "plug in to continue" was gone, but it was still stuck on encryption paused. The blue bar is full all the way and I have left it charging for a while, both when it was charging and when it was full, but it has been stuck on that. I looked at other people having problems and they had it stuck on encryption paused but also with the "plug in to continue". Mine doesn't say that part. Does anyone know what to do?

File vault stuck on encryption paused.

Hi all
Recently bought a Macbook Air and decided to use file vault, things seemed ok at first but when file vault was about to finish it became stuck on "encryption paused".
Even with the power adapter connected it still will not continue, also i have found that it will cause "system preferences" to stop responding requiring me to force quit the application.
I have spoke to a very helpful Apple support adviser who said it was a "cosmetic issue" and i should try a PRAM reset but this has not resolved the problem.
Is anybody else experiencing similar problems?
Thanks

FileVault Encryption Password - Yosemite

I enabled the FileVault encryption when upgrading my Mac to Yosemite. I was not given a passcode. Yosemite allows use of your login password as the method to access the encrypted drive.
However, I saw a posting on another site that has me confused. the poster on that site indicated that the encrypted drive's password is the password that was in place AT THE TIME of encryption. And that it is permanent and does not change if one changes the AppleID/iCloud password.
Is that the case?
If so, this could prove very problematic. I know my passwords, and very likely would be able to recall what I used when I did the encryption. But I also support several family members that certainly would not remember their password months or even years back. Nor would they be able to pinpoint what their password was on a specific date.
My assumption was that the current AppleID/iCloud password was the "master" that would always unlock the encrypted drive.

I think I am going to do that this w/e and re-enable FileVault manually this way I get the key. I want to be sure I have all of the recovery capabilities covered.
I do find Apple's implementation of FileVault to be lacking in the details. For instance, wen you turn it on via the Yosemite install, it should clearly say that you will not receive a recovery key. But the actual messaging implies you will get a key.
Also, here is a contributing factor to the confusion. My iCloud password is being used to unlock the Mac. The Mac PW is still what was being used when I encrypted the drive. Therefore, if I change the iCloud password, and keep it "synced" with the Mac password, then my FileVault password would in fact be different (and certainly easy to lose track of down the road.
I keep my PW info very organized in 1Password, so I don't fear losing track of my information. But the other computers I help to set up (wife's, son's, niece's, friend's) would be tougher to track as I would not know if/when they change passwords.

How to cancel filevault encryption process midway, since it is demanding 12 hours

After upgrading to OS-X Yosemite version 10.10, I enabled filevault encryption option. Since then whenever I connect to the electric power, the disk starts encrypting procedure. I try to turn it off, it says to wait until the file encryption completes. Moreover the estimated remaining time for encryption is displayed as 12 hours. I just don't want it. kindly guide.

Hi,
These documents talk about purgin WF_NOTIFICATIONS_OUT queue. But document i mentioned
says.
7. Try rebuilding the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue if necessary
The wfntfqup.sql script rebuilds the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue by dropping and recreating
that queue, removing pending notification messages from the WF_DEFERRED queue, and
repopulating the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue from the Oracle Workflow Notification System
tables.
Wfntfqup.sql Version >=115.9
If you have implemented Oracle Alert and the WFNOTIFICATION_OUT queue contains any pending_
alert e-mail messages, those messages must be processed before the queue can be rebuilt. The
wfntfqup.sql script checks the queue for any alert e-mail messages and, if it finds any, the
script returns an error message that specifies how many alert e-mail messages are pending
and indicates that these messages must be processed before the script can run.
Kindly suggest.

Automated Filevault encryption

Hi,
I want to deploy automated Filevault encryption using an installer in the same way that Mac OS enables it, but with my own recovery key.
So, what I need is a script or something to enable Filevault the same way as Lion does.
I know that I can do "diskutil cs convert /dev/disk0s2 -passphrase xyz" in the terminal - I will be asked this passphrase every time I boot my mac and can afterwards type in my personal password. In the security panel I can set-up other users for FileVault usage.
My question here is: What command is it, that I can use to give users access to my FileVault encrypted Volume without knowledge of the "real" passphrase?

Yes, we have been successful using a compiled binary (csfde), borrowed from the CauliflowerVest project(http://code.google.com/p/cauliflowervest/) and the Apple Recovery Key process (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5077).
We use a AppleScript setup script that we have manufactured for the purpose of deploying laptops to our students and faculty (4000 +).
We create a cached mobile account to allow intial login:
do shell script "/System/Library/CoreServices/ManagedClient.app/Contents/Resources/createmobile account -n " & UserID with administrator privileges
Then enable FileVault 2:
do shell script "cp " & POSIX path of (the path to me as string) & "/Contents/Resources/FileVaultMaster_noprivate.keychain /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain" with administrator privileges
do shell script POSIX path of (the path to me as string) & "/Contents/Resources/csfde disk0s2 " & UserID & " " & UserPWD
do shell script "rm -f /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain" with administrator privileges

Filevault encryption frozen

Hello, I have a 2011 macbook air 1.8 i7, 4 gigs ram, with 130 gb used of the 256 available on the ssd... I installed yosemite a week ago and the filevault encryption process hasn't moved since mid last week, it is stuck at around 70% with anywhere from 2 hours to 450 days left. I have seen others on the forums having the same issue but with no answers that work so I thought I would ask in case someone with an answer hasn't seen the question.
I have tried reseting the pram and smc, verified and repaired disc permissions, gone into recovery mode and verified and repaired the different discs but none of it works. And the encryption process keeps running even when its not plugged in so I am losing upwards of 30-40% of battery an hour depending on what else I am doing.
I have also left the machine to run for over 48 hours straight over the weekend, never going to sleep and never being shut off and the process didn't progress at all. Does anyone know how I can fix this without losing any of my data, my last back up was from a few weeks ago and would like to try and save what is on here since then, if possible.
Thank-you so much for your help!

Filevault encryption impossible

Filevault encryption impossible : message reports : impossible to create a filevault disk image.
Cloned to OSX volume to another one (i.e. bigger) to no luck.
But unfortunately (maybe the cause of it) remove a filevault certificate which reported as being out of date ???????

The first try the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
And double-check the size of your Home folder.
Why reward points?(Quoted from Discussions Terms of Use.)
The reward system helps to increase community participation. When a community member gives you (or another member) a reward for providing helpful advice or a solution to their question, your accumulated points will increase your status level within the community.
Members may reward you with 5 points if they deem that your reply is helpful and 10 points if you post a solution to their issue. Likewise, when you mark a reply as Helpful or Solved in your own created topic, you will be awarding the respondent with the same point values.

Does filevault encryption work with time machine?

Filevault under Snow Leopard would allow you to encrypt data on your Mac disk but was not compatible with Time Machine i.e. you could not back it up once encrypted or restore it.
Does anyone know if this has been addressed in Lion i.e. data encrypted in Filevault is capable of being backed up to a time capsule and is recoverable using Time Machine.
The release documentation does not make this clear, although a technician led me to believe it would be fixed in Lion.

According to my experience and to this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427, FileVault in Snow Leopard was compatible with Time Machine.
The thing was that, as FileVault encrypts your home folder as a disk image in 10.6, Time Machine was backing up that encrypted disk image. So
1. Time Machine could backup your home folder only when you were not logged in your user session and the computer was awake
2. with this system, you could not browse your home folder in the Time Machine incremental backups, but could only restore your complete home folder from that encrypted disk image.
In Lion, however, Filevault 2 encrypts your complete hard drive.
This means:
1. You can use Time Machine with FileVault 2 enabled in Lion (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4811)
2. Recovery HD must be present on your computer's startup volume to use FileVault 2 (not an external Recovery HD) (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718)
I guess Time Machine, like it used to do with the user's home folder in 10.6, will backup your encrypted hard drive in Lion, but you will not have the ability to browse your Time Machine backup to find specific files / folders in the backup. But this backup can be used to restore your system. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4811)
(May someone correct me if I'm mistaken there ?)
More info about FileVault 2 in Lion -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4790

Filevault stuck on encryption paused even with charger in. Any suggestions?

I just bought MacBook Air and going through the starting process it won't seem to finished encrypting the file vault.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
