Yosemite Filevault during installation process

Hello
When I installed Yosemite I was asked to turn on the FileVault and encrypt my data, which I did.
I never got a recovery key as I should have been (I would have guessed so reading about FileVault).
Should I turn off the FileVault ?
Thanks

I have the same thing. I could NOT find any step by step instructions for FileVault online that are recent enough to apply to Yosemite, and all of them show a step where there is a recovery key on the screen. They also say if you store the recovery key in iCloud, you have to set up three security questions to access it via iCloud. When I turned it on, it asked me if I wanted to use iCloud to recover or use a recovery key. I chose the first. It did not ask me to set up security questions for FileVault. However, I have two step verification set up for iCloud (which may have nothing to do with anything but who knows).
I'm leaving it on for now and hopefully there will be more information about what the deal is soon.

  • Pacman problem during installation process

    Hello,
    I have serious problem with installing arch on my machine, during installation packages pacman completely broke system, it prints kernel bug message, output is here:
    http://pastebin.com/m70565353
    its from x86_64 2009.02 image, but same problem with i686 image 2009.02 and 2008.06 too, hardware is intel little falls so nothing special, simply there is no way to install arch on my machine
    thanks for any advice

    I get this error every time at point Install Packages, it hangs randomly on packages, on i686 it completely locks, on x86_64 after pacman failure I can still type to terminal and possibly control installator but init 0 or 6 freeze. I tried every time on fresh created filesystem. It seems like pacman bug, next I try install some packages manually from terminal.

    Hi azimkgz,
    Try a different setup file, download the product directly from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html.
    Follow the Very Important instructions or else the download will not start.

  • HT203322 Still having issues with installing Yosemite after deleting "Backups.backupdb" on the internal hard drive.  I have restarted multiple times and cannot find any other back up files, yet I still receive the same error message during installation.

    I am using a 2011 iMac on 10.6.8. I recently downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and during the installation process ran into the "this disk is used for time machine backups". I ejected the external drive I use for time machine backups and turned off time machine in the application. I then followed the instructions of the help article (OS X: Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups - Apple Support) by moving the folder "Backups.backupdb" that I was able to find on my internal hard drive to the trash. I have restarted several times after completing this process. I am still running into the same error during the installation process. I have searched the hard drive for any other backups and I cannot find any. I searched the hard drive using the command cmd-shift-g and searched for “backups.backupdb” and was unable to find any folders or files. Any other suggestions?

    I have resolved the problem - I did not actually delete the "backups.backupdb" folder, I only deleted the contents of the folder.  I must have only searched on the user account for the folder after I thought I had deleted it.  Thank you for the assistance everyone and I apologize for the inconvenience!

    I tried to install yosemite yesterday and my computer goes through the whole installation process and then to a blank white screen.  I've rebooted, I've reinstalled several times and get the same result.  Two days wasted and I can't use my computer!!

    I don't know if you've already resolved your problem, but I had the same thing, it took me 6 hours to fix it. I had the exact same as you, installed the update and then it went to a white screen. After trying start up holding down cmmd r or holding down the alt key to try to install it again, nothing worked, same result every time. Then an angel came to me here somewhere but I can't find it now to thank him. Start in safe mode, press shift once you hear the start up chime and hold it down until you hear it again. Installation completion box came up and it was working. turn off computer and start up again normally and all is well. Except my final cut pro x doesn't work with it, have to update that now too. same as when I updated to mavericks.
    Hope this helps.

  • When I installed iTunes 10.6 to windows 7, during the process i got this message -" There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run"

    when I installed iTunes 10.6 to windows 7, during the process i got this message -" There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run" and after that the setup closed automatically. Plaese tell me if any setting up of windows is in order.

    Try looking at the two previous discussions listed on the right side of this page with your same question.
    Also, try searching/posting in the iTunes forum since you do not have an iPod problem.

    You should check Windows update for Service Pack update, if there is any.
    Otherwise, try to fix and update windows system filesas follows:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.
    Then do the download again.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.

  • An error occurred during the installation process: error occurred while installing additional adobe

    I get this message: An error occurred during the installation process: error occurred while installing additional adobe packages. when trying to install CS2 InDesign UPGRADE from id 2 on new IMAC 2.4 GHz 4 GB. 

Any one else with same issue? 

Trevor

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • When trying to install an Adobe extention, during the installation process I get a message that says "This extention cannot cannot be installed-----requires version 13.0 or greater."  I am installing from within CC

    When trying to install an Adobe extention, during the installation process I get this message-----"This extention cannot be installed----requires version 13.0 or greater."  I am installing through Photoshop CC------appreciate any help.

    Hi Gary.  Extensions have to be written for the specific Photoshop versions they are designed to run on.and definitely don't all run on every version of Photoshop.  You'd think that you'd be OK with that message, but it might be that it works fine on CS6 (13) but not on CC (14).
    But it could be an error.
    What is the extension you are trying to install?  Is Photoshop, and Extension Manager fully up to date?  If you are sure that the extension runs on CC, I'd try un installing, and reinstalling the Extension Manager.  I have had to exactly that a while back.

    You should not install it again..
    Boot the computer into safe mode and try the uninstall again.
    No luck you will have to manually uninstall which is a pain. Delete the files and open regedit and delete the registry entries.. better still use the system restore to go back to a previous system where you had no 4.2 installed..
    Or just ignore it and install the latest 5.6.1 and if it gives trouble well do a clean install of windows.

There is no point of just giving an answer for the sake of giving it when the question doesn't make any sense! If you are asked a question which you think doesn't make sense or may need more explanation , you should(must) ask teh person asking about it. There is nothing wrong in doing so. If I am the one asking such kind of question, my motive would be to check what the person comes up with, an answer just for the sake of it or be more open towards discussion.

    My computer went into hibernation during the long installation process (after I've keyed in the serial number). When I turned it back on, the applications in the suite were all installed on my computer, but when I open them, they tell me that I am running the "extended trial" edition, and need to key the serial number again. When I do, it's no longer valid. I have tried to re-run the disc, but the serial number is stated to be no longer valid. Please help ASAP.
