Yosemite file Vault caused login issue

Today i tried to login with new MAC, Normally,we can login with our AD account, today i just found no network user, only admin account.
Finally, the issue caused by FileVault
Click Turn On FileVault.If your Mac has multiple users, a list of users appears. You can allow users to log in after the Mac starts up. If you don’t, an administrator must log in before the user does.
OS X Yosemite: Encrypt the contents of your Mac with FileVault

Filevault can't have lost your account password it is a system for encrypting the data on your hard drive to prevent people from accessing it without the password. If anything went wrong in that process you cannot break the encryption on that in any easy fashion. Call AppleCare for further assistance since its a new OS you will not be charged for assistance. I had the same problem last year, I enabled filevault and lost my recovery key after a move, luckily I chose to send a copy to Apple during its setup and they could get me sorted out. Good Luck.

Upgraded to Yosemite, File Vault locked me out, help!

I decided to upgrade to Yosemite, and after the installation something happened somehow, and file vault lost the password for my account making it impossible for me to log in. I have tried to restore from my time machine back ups but the issue remains no matter the date of my backup. I have also tried to wipe the drive and start over hoping to manually restore everything bit by bit from time machine, but it seems as though the drive is encrypted and I cannot access any files other than the system files??
help please!!

Yosemite file vault for one account only

I have enabled file vault on a macbook air running Yosemite. My son has a non-administrator account and does not have the administrator password but would like to boot the computer and use his account. He is unable to do this at present because he does not have the administrator password. He does not need file-vault encryption. Please advise in regard to our options.

This seems like a simple question; can anyone help me?

Import of mp3 file suddenly causing sync issue with existing files. CC 2014

Hi all,
I imported an mp3 audio file and dropped it into my comp which contained other Video (422 ProRes) files that contained audio. When I RAM Previewed the audio for the entire comp slowed down and fell out of sync. I can't seem to find any way to correct this. I have tried both Comp Settings and Interpret Footage but I can't seem to find a fix. Anyone know of (or have experienced) this issue and know of a fix? P.S. I know mp3 files are not optimal for use, but I used it anyway, and have in the past without issue.
Thanks,
JB

After rendering out two sequences that had the audio sync/slowing issue, it appears that this is an issue with RAM preview. The renders' audio are in sync and play at the correct speed. The issue of the RAM preview remains. It seems like a bug at this point. I updated to latest (13.2) version of AE CC 2014, reopened project, RAM previewed the comp and the audio was playing correctly. I RAM previewed again immediately again, and after a spinning beach ball, it plays back out of sync and slow again.

Calling PointBasedClustering,js file from custom,js file is causing an issue

I am calling PointBasedClusteringmodule from a function in custom.js file
GetMap function is called on page load and the code resides in custom.js file.
function GetMap() {
// Initialize the map
map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map(document.getElementById("MapHolder"),
credentials: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", zoom: 2,
mapTypeId: Microsoft.Maps.MapTypeId.road, showDashboard: true,
center: new Microsoft.Maps.Location(41.021429, 21.337973)
//Nate: 3/26/15: for clustering pushpins
Microsoft.Maps.registerModule("PointBasedClusteringModule", "~/PointBasedClustering.js");
Microsoft.Maps.loadModule("PointBasedClusteringModule", { callback: moduleLoaded });
Microsoft.Maps.Pushpin.prototype.title = null;
Microsoft.Maps.Pushpin.prototype.description = null;
//Getlocations function moved to moduleloaded function
The PointBasedClustering.js file as follows. The error is coming after the module is loaded at
Microsoft.Maps.moduleLoaded('PointBasedClusteringModule');
Unhandled exception at line 447, column 1 in http://localhost:52723/Scripts/PointBasedClustering.js
0x800a1391 - JavaScript runtime error: 'Microsoft' is undefined
Any ideas on what is causing this.
Thanks
Nate

Verify that you haven't also added a script reference in your HTML to the module. If you have it's likely that this code is being executed before the Bing Maps control is loaded.

Can't log in / supposedly file-vault

I have a power mac, which I recently updated to Lion. I've never used a password before and yet after an unusual abortive boot (unusual boot-sequence which hanged, which I had to hard-reset) I now get a login screen, which since I've never had a login in the first place, I can't get past (tried apple-ID for instance, to no avail).
I did the usual disk scans from recovery mode (which showed no problems), so I eventually ended up having to bring it in to the local apple-reseller (no 'official' apple-stores here). He says I've enabled file-vault and that he can't get to it without the username and password.
Now I can't for the life of me figure out how this could be, and file-vault isn't exactly the kind of thing you can enable accidentally. There was a progress indicator on the unusual boot, which might kind of support this idea (of an encryption process), but otherwise I'm worried that it might not necessarily be the problem.
I've had a search around, and I can't find any similar problems, so I'm just wondering if anybody on here might know if either:
File Vault can somehow become automatically enabled or ...
... some other automatic activity that could somehow bring this situation about
I want to satisfy myself that this is indeed the problem, and if so how could it have come about, so for instance I don't end up doing it again!
Update: From discussions elsewhere, it seems likely that the login screen I am seeing does correspond to a File-vault enabled login, so I guess all that remains is to discover how this could have happened in the first place ... and to determine if it is recoverable!

Login screen on MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) with enabled File Vault is extremely slow (suttering)

Hi
I have a MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013) with enabled File Vault on OS X Mavericks. When I boot up the mac freshly it takes quite long to get to the initial login screen (which as I understand is a pre-boot login provided by the recovery partition if File Vault is enabled). However, what is even more bothering me is that once I get to this screen, the whole UI is behaving extremely slow. The mouse makes jumps of a few inches on the screen and the animations (e.g. if you click a user and then an animation shows the password entry field) are running in slow motion and only update every few seconds. Typing the password afterwards runs smothly again (altought for example moving the mouse at this point still behaves as described before). After loggin in to the account OS X runs fine without any hicks. Can anyone give me a hit what this could be and how I could resolve this?
This has already been done:
Reset PRAM
Boot into recovery partition and run repaired disk and disk permissions
Run all OS X maintenance operations and cleared caches using OnyX
What I could imagine is that somehow the recovery partition is damaged (which as I understand is used to boot to the login screen if File Vault is enabled).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris

Just ordered a Retina MacBook Pro11,2 (mid-2014 15", 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, OSX 10.9.4 Pre-installed - Build 13E28) and have the exact same issue. The first thing I did when i booted it for the first time was enable FileValut2 and encrypt the disk. Though I failed to notice this behavior prior to encrypting the disk, the stuttering/lag happens without fail every time I have logged in from a cold boot, locked screen or sleep. Additionally I have noticed the same stuttering behavior when switching tabs on various built-in OSX applications such as the tabs on the About This Mac > More Info.... (System Information) dialog for example, and similarly other dialogs that experience this behavior of resizing when switching tabs. I was running no other software than About This Mac > More Info ... (System Information) and OSX 10.9.4 itself. The issue happens without fail with and without a USB mouse plugged in.
I am really glad to have found this thread and with such recent posts. I'd love to find out that this is just a software bug that will be fixed when OSX 10.10 "Yosemite" is released. If not, I hope the cause of this bug is determined soon so I can still exchange or have it repaired.
Migflono and Matthew, would you be able to post your hardware specs for comparison?

Is there an issue using file vault 2 on a Mac fusion drive

is there an issue using file vault 2 on a Mac fusion drive

I'm using that configuration and it works for me. There have been some reports of kernel panics with FileVault and SSD's. The cause is unknown. Chances are you'll be fine, but make good backups.

File Vault issues. How can I turn it off?

After reading all about the issues people have been having with File Vault and because the constant encrypting-decrypting is slowing down my computer, I decided to turn File Vault off.
There's just one problem. I can't. Every time I try to turn off File Vault, the computer logs off, starts the operation, then I get the following error message:
"An error occurred during decryption ( An error occurred during copying ), FileVault will be turned on for this home folder and the home folder will still be encrypted."
In seeing explanations in other discussions regarding File Vault, the first thing I noticed was that I may not have had enough space to do the decryption, so I got an external hard drive, copied the contents of each of the folders inside my encrypted hard drive to the external drive (thus decrypting them), then deleted them from the internal hard drive. Then I shut the computer down to allow File Vault to re-claim the disk space. I was ultimately able to bring the free space on my hard drive to about 195 GB, with only about 35 GB in use. I continued to get the error.
Next, I repaired permissions, then verified the disk. I found a volume structure error which could not be repaired by Disk Utility, but I had Disk Warrior, which had no problem repairing it. Unfortunately, I still get the error when trying to turn File Vault off.
At this point, it is pretty safe to assume that the initial Volume Structure error caused the File Vault decryption error, and repairing it will not fix the issue. From continued reading, it would seem the next course of action is to completely back up my home folder, install the OS fresh, then manually import the data. Is there an easy way to do this? I have a lot of installed applications and settings that I don't want to go through the trouble of re-installing and re-setting.
Would it work if I set up a new user account, manually migrated the data copied to the external drive, tested to see if the new user account was working, then deleted the encrypted one?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think that's worth trying first - you could always fall back on the OS erase and install if it doesn't work out.
I would do a GetInfo on the external drive and check the Ignore Ownership box at the bottom, in order to avoid any permission problems when copying back.

File Vault all messed up - Yosemite

Note that I am running OS X Yosemite on a 13 inch MacBook Air (early 2014).
I did a restart on my MBA. When it restarted and I attempted to type my password, certain keys on the keyboard no longer worked and I was unable to type my password. I'm not talking unusual characters here - while my password is a combination of capital and small letters, numbers, punctuation marks, the ones I'm unable to type are common things like "c" or "k". This does not work with either the MBA's own keyboard or my external Apple keyboard. I tried unplugging the external keyboard from the USB port but that made no difference.
So I did the restart in recovery mode. I selected "keyboard not working" when time to enter password. I got the message that my keyboard may not be compatible with File Vault, which I think we can accept that since it's the MBA's own keyboard that should not be possible. I was then prompted to enter my password so that File Vault could be turned off. I entered my password very slowly and carefully but it was not accepted.
I then (I forget the exact steps) managed to reset my login password and was able to login to the machine. I went to System Preferences and File Vault. I could not turn off File Vault because "encryption in progress". Except that encryption is paused, "connect power adapter to resume encryption." Except that power adapter IS connected.
So I'm kind of stuck here. If Fire Vault isn't encrypting and isn't resuming encryption and its blocking recognition of my keyboard when attempting to log in, what can I do to get back to "normal"?
Note that my MBA was purchased in Hong Kong but I am currently in Manila.
thanks!

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.

I am using itunes 10 and trying to consolidate my files. I keep getting the error "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long". How can I indentify what file is causing this problem or resolve this issue?

BUMP
Yes, I just get that message. I don't see how I could investigate this problem.
I didn't mention that this happened when I was consolidating my library, not copying files to another computer.
In other words, I'm using a "normal" itunes procedure, itunes won't complete it, and won't tell me exactly why or how to figure out how to fix it...
Is there at least some easy way to tell which files were successfully copied to my itunes music folder so I can work on moving the uncopied files?
Can anybody help me?

Issue where audio files are causing buffering in Adobe Presenter 9.0.2

I have a module that I have published that the audio files are causing the playback to buffer at the end of the slides. I have unchecked Disable preloading of embedded Flash content, since I have seen that suggestion previously causing issues. I do not have videos in this module. It did this when I did a preview of my PowerPoint presentation. Thinking publishing could give me a possible different outcome once it was on the Connect server. However, the same issue occurs. I have tried copying the slides and placing them into a new presentation but that did not work as well, I had the same issue. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I am at a holding point since I cannot make the course live if I know this is an issue on playback.

Hi kornieme,
Please package the published content using package option in presenter and put it in some drop box and send me the link..
Thanks

File Vault encryption locked up. No progress for 24 hrs. If I restore from a non-encypted back-up will this cause problems?

Started file vault yesterday and no progress for 24 hrs. If I do a Command-R restore from a non-encrypted back-up will this cause problems?

You first must repartition and reformat the drive before restoring your backup.
Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should install the version of OS X that you had installed.

CS 5.5 coexist with CS 6.0 causes FrameMaker issue - can't import SVG file!

Due to some project demands, we installed Adobe CS back to 5.5 on a computer which has CS6.0 already installed. After the installation, everything worked in normal except one problem - we could not import SVG into FM file for all versions of FrameMaker on this computer.
Does the coexistence of CS 5.5 and 6.0 cause this issue? Or can CS 5.5 coexist with CS6.0 on a same machine? or any other reasons? Please comments!
Thanks in advance for your help!
