Help, just bought MacBook pro stuck on filevault disk encryption just spinning how do you reboot a Mac?

Need help rebooting Mac!

Back up all data before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. When prompted, enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
Then, from the menu bar, select
          File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
Enter the password again.
You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.
If you can't turn off encryption in Disk Utility because the menu item is grayed out, you'll have to erase the volume and then restore the data from a backup. Select the Erase tab, and then select
          Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
from the Format menu.
You can then quit to be returned to the main Recovery screen. Follow these instructions if you back up with Time Machine. If you use other backup software, follow its developer's instructions.
Don't erase the volume unless you have at least two complete, independent backups. One is not enough to be safe.

  • My MacBook is stuck on "FileVault Disk Encryption"

    Hello,
    So yesterday I decided to upgrade to Yosemite on my 2013 13' MacBook pro 500gb 2.5GHz. And everything went well except when it got to the screen for filevault. Before i got to the filevault stage, everything went well and the computer successfully instaled Yosemite and rebooted. I logged into my icloud when it asked me to, then it went to the screen of the terms of conditions, and I agreed to it. But then it went to the FileVault stage, and I knew a little bit about what it was --to encrypt your data(whole hard drive)-- but I went with it and clicked enable Filevault. So after 30 minutes, it was still the same screen, and I checked afree 3 hours, and the sceeen was still the same. Now, after 15 hours, the screen is still the same. There isn't really anything on the Computer except for Microsoft office applications, and a few word documents. So nothing more than ~110gb of data used. What should I do? Should I turn my computer off?

    Hi there. I'm having the same problem here on may 2010 17" inch Macbook Pro. I did the diagnistic test you mentioned, the information is below. Thanks in advance if you can help.

  • Please help me! MacBook Pro stuck on apple logo and spinning wheel

    Hi I'm really desperate and need help! My MacBook just stopped loading and would stay on the gray screen with the apple logo and spinning wheel.
    I have tried safe mode and it would load a little and stop and then the loading bar would be blank and it would stay like that forever!!
    I also have tried doing the single user mode and when I type the fsck - fy it will do a couple more lines then it will say error like a hundred times :(
    I did verbose mode and it would just give me stuff that I have no idea what it saying I left on verbose mode for like 5 hours and it would just give me lines of stuff I have no idea what it's saying!
    I downloaded lion through apple store so I don't have the disk I only have my snow leopard disk
    Please please someone tell me a solution it's my moms laptop and I don't want to get in trouble!

    Reboot in recovery mode an possibly repair over the internet.
    Command-R to the rescue.
    Just hold down Command-R during startup and OS X Recovery springs into action. It lets you choose from common utilities: You can run Disk Utility to check or repair your hard drive, erase your hard drive and reinstall a fresh copy of OS X, or restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup. You can even use Safari to get help from Apple Support online. And if OS X Recovery encounters problems, it will automatically connect to Apple over the Internet.

  • Brand new macbook pro, stuck by FileVault!

    trying to setup the brand new MBP with retina display, and by default, the FileVault is checked, and i'm so regret that i didn't uncheck it...
    it's just stuck there and won't go further, and i'm sure the power adapter is perfected connected... 

    If it is really stopped then terminate and boot to recovery and reinstall the OS

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    I also bought Microsoft Office Home and Student and cant use the Outlook.  Is there anyway to just install the Outlook on my Mac?  Or i have to buy a new one which is is Home and Business?
    Thanks,

    Try enabling the Personal Hotspot on the iPhone and connecting the Mac to the Internet thru it. If Facebook works ok then, that would mean the ISP is either blocking or having connection problems whereas the phone carrier is not.
    Be mindful that carrier data charges can be outrageous so use this as a test first.

    Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

    Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x.

    You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked.  Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.
