HT4790 how to turn my mac off without waiting filevault back up

Hi Guys
Any one can help me out?
Everytime when I turn my Mac off, it always doing a FileVault backing up before shuts down. This backing up taking a long time, any idea what I shoud do?
Many thanks
Charli

You need not do anything. Leave the computer be. After it finishes the backup it will shut down on its own. You need to let it backup because this is the only time you can backup the computer.

  • HT204053 how to I sync my email message with Cox so all of my messages appear on my MAC, my Iphone and my IPAD? If I turn my MAC off I don't receive my emails until aftet I turn it back on? THX

    How do I sync my IMAC, IPAD and IPHONE for messages. I use cox as my carrier. If I turn my IMAC off and then come back later - turn it on - I don't receive any messages from COX - they are on my phone and Ipad but not on my IMAC?
    Thank you -Jaq

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty.

    Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.

    Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks".  Send it to the trash and delete it.  Then try the download again.

  • Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?

    Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?
    So what I did was, I had bought my iMac from a shop and asked them to do bootcamp for me. However, they installed 32 bit instead of 64. My fault, I did not make my self clear about it. So after it has been delivered to my house, I realized that I wanted the 64 bit. I tried to remove windows on bootcamp but honestly, I have not experienced this before. So I failed. I believe, I did something wrong.
    So I opened the iMac and it keeps asking me to go to windows. Windows OS also corrupted.
    I tried the Option Key but the only option is Windows 7 only. So using a different keyboard, I press option and it only shows Windows HDD and the Mac HDD has gone.
    What am I going to do? How can I restore Mac OS without the HDD anymore?

    I don't know how to turn off a kitten (I would probably get the Nobel prize if I did!) but Pierre is correct, although his target is wrong:
    System Preferences/Universal Access/Seeing - turn off VoiceOver.

  • Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac.

    Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac. I have background switching unchecked in my preferences, and I have never selected it as an option. Also, when I go to my preferences, it will show the icon of the picture I changed it to, even though the desktop itself has switched back.

    I would start with some basic troubleshooting.

  • How to turn on brush pressure without tablet

    hello,
    how i turn on brush pressure without tablet ot tech screen?
    this is my problem:
    "pressure" is disabled.
    how i turn on pressure without tablet?

    What brush pressure does is dynamically alter the stroke as it is drawn. You may be able to alter the stroke after it is drawn.  Since you aren't describing what sort of alterations you want, there is no way for anyone to provide alternatives.
    There is no substitute for the dynamic ability to alter strokes as you draw them, a tablet is required for that ability. But a similar appearance AFTER the stroke is drawn is entirely possible.

  • Help! Going on holiday in 6 hours and I don't know how to turn my iPod off!

    Hey there,
    I'm going on holiday in 6 hours (In an aircraft) and I have an iPod Photo, and I might be stupid but, I'm paranoid about the aircraft crashing, and on top of that, I don't know how to turn my iPod 'off'
    There isn't time to make it turns itself off over 48 hours as I only have 6 >_<
    Does putting it into 'sleep' (Holding down the play/pause for a few seconds) and sliding hold have the same effect as 'off' or as good as?
    Thanks for everyone's precious time and thanks in advance!

    Thanks,
    That really helps my confidence =]

  • How can I download a transfer without waiting for it be all transferred?

    How can I download a transfer without waiting for it be all transferred? Thanks.

    Thanks, that now makes sense. Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.
    Regards.

  • How can view another macs screen without asking for permission

    I just recently upgraded all 4 of our macbook pros to mountain lion.  So far no problems until I wanted to look at my sons screen to make sure he was doing homework and not playing minecraft.  I went to "Network", chose his computer on our network, then chose Share screen.  I get two choices "ask for Permission" or "Log in".   I have screen sharing enabled on his computer and I have myself as a registered user.  I have tried turning on and off the Back to my Mac setting in iCloud on both computers.    I want to be able to see his screen without it asking for his permission.  Kind of defeats my purpose for screen sharing if it gives him time to quit minecraft before he answers my request. 
    The other choice "Log In"  is beyond useless.  I have not idea what the purpose would be to be logged in on someones computer and only be able to see your own screen.
    Before I upgraded to Mtn. Lion, I was able to screen share and see any computer without it asking for permission because I was a registered user on their computer.  I home school my kids and need to be able to see/control their screens from another room. 
    Any ideas on how to get this to work?
    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    Nope, it shows me a log in screen with my daughter/son's pic but won't let me type anything in the password box.
