Yosemite filevault stuck, battery drain

Hello
i enabled filevault after the yosemite update last week and its been stuck encrypting ever since. the estimated time jumps from 60 days to 1.800 days and so on. Corestoragd uses a lot of CPU, can I delete it to solve this?
Thanks
Best regards

In the first place not many people have 10+ hours on their Macbooks. 5 - 4 hours is the average.

    1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
    2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.8 or earlier.
    3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
              Enable Power Nap while on battery power
    if it's shown (it may not be.)
    4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
    5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
    6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • My battery drains really quickly after upgrading to OS X Yosemite

    I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite.   After doing so, my battery drains VERY quickly.  About 1 percent per minute.   Is there any fix for this?   Can I roll back my OS?  

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    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.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility 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 Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • MBA battery drain with Yosemite

    MBA very buggy atm. Battery draining before my eyes, 3% in last two minutes and while in sleep mode. Also display backlight flickering intermittently then to black screen earlier this week. PRAM and SCM reset with no joy. Took it to the tech and no faults found. Miraculous recovery on restart after powerdown to 0% apparently. Help with both or either issue appreciated. :-)

  • Battery drained during hibernation, stuck.

    My Macbook Unibody (Mid-2010) had its battery drained during hibernation.  I plugged it into the charger and the charger light turned on, and the grey start-up page went up as usual with the apple logo and the loading bars underneath.  However, the laptop has not finished loading and it's been more than an hour now.  I tried closing the lid, and the hibernation light went on, but the apple logo still had its light and it still did not finish loading.
    What do I do?
    (This macbook is still on Snow Leopard)

  • Iphone 4s battery draining extremly fast

    iphone 4s battery draining extremly fast, how annoying is that, Battery will be drain out within 12 hrs and I just usually watch 30 mins video (not using 3G/wifi) and 10mins on Phone .
    I always turn off my Siri, Auto Detect Time Zone, 50% Brightness, NO background Apps are running and Mail is manually updated.
    Does anyone facing the same problem?

    Go to advanced and set icloud to manual I used to suffer from this because of icloud it was stuck in a loop and always draining the battery, try also resetting your network settings if it didn't work reset all settings and set it as a new phone drain the battery and charge it from 0 to 100% to recalibrate the battery , hope this works for you

  • Discovered cause of Battery Drain lumia 920/820

    Hi,
    I just registered to tell you following:
    I discovered the culprit that is responsible for the "semi random" battery drain.
    @Home my Lumia 820 "shines" with a good battery life.
    @Work:
    - without any additional Installed app
    - no active background task (except standard entries: "extras+info" and Nokia Music)
    - every (backround)sync disabled (mail, also xbox, music.....)
    - display low
    - disabled location service
    - closing all apps with multiple clicks on back-button
    - uninstalled skype
    - disabled apps @ lockscreen
    - battery saver on
    - backup disabled
    - nfc disabled
    - microsoft account sync only 1x per day
    - disabled roaming (my provider is a roaming monster :-) roams into networks of other providers).
    - 2x fully discharged + fully charged + 12 hours on powersupply
    - and every other suggested energysave option/action i could find on internet and here in forum -> except hardreset
    With all above mentioned methods the battery still gets/got literally eaten away at work in IDLE.
    I had it next to me with monitor off. Only checked once per hour and it died in ~8-11 hours. No call no message no nothing.
    I was curious why it only happens at work: The difference of the network coverage is, that at home it is far more inferior. I have to search for a spot in my house where i can use it for calling somebody.
    So Internet is not even an option (also no HSPA+ coverage throughout the village). Normally you would have less battery life at places with less connectivity. But not in that case.
    I investigated further: on the way to work I use it for surfing ~50min - 1hour -> there i loose 7-9% of my battery. (very good result for driving with car => many connection losses)
    As soon as I reach the city where the Lumia reaches the HSPA+ network it begins to drain veery fast.
    HSPA+ needs much more power than UMTS and I guess normal HSPA!
    I compared the behaviour with the Samsung Galaxy S3 (colleague's phone) and noticed a small but profound difference:
    After you "wake" the S3 from idle it will show on the screen, that it uses UMTS and not HSPA/HSPA+... as soon as you start surfing or start an app that connects to the internet the S3 switches immediately to HSPA+. After a little time the Samsung switches back to UMTS.
    The lumia behaves differently: It detects HSPA+ and uses it. Also in idle!?
    I followed this obvious lead and wanted to disable HSPA/HSPA+ -> unfortunately it only lets you disable 3g as a whole (UMTS/HSPA) so I switched to 2G only.
    While I am writing this my L820 is unplugged 6hours now and
    after much heavier use than normal (mailing, surfing with 3g while driving 45min home [which dropped the charging-level multiple times faster than gaming!], 1h gaming, 10 minutes calling)
    the remaining battery life is at 70% with estimated time remaining: 1day 7hours left (after writing the whole story it went up to 2days 4hours with 69%... but i guess thats because its idleing).
    This behaviour is also the explanation why some people are affected and some aren't.
    Summary of change: from initially 8hours idle and not even touching the phone -> to finally using it now with 70% after 6hours with 1day 7hours time remaining.
    Additional info: I live in Austria (Europe; no kangaroos ;-)) --> so I have a Lumia 820 with the german firmware without the update, which was released in USA and Canada:
    Revision: 1232.2109.1242.1001
    So please implement a similar function like the Samsung S3 ... or just as a start: let us manually turn off UMTS, HSPA and HSPA+ separately! Surfing with 2g is no fun.
    Sorry for the extensive and long story/facts ;-)
    Regards
    V4mp

    I can confirm that my battery drain problem is related to LTE  on my US Lumia 920, at home where signal is weak I get fantastic battery life, less than 2% drain an hour, lasts for well over a day with moderate usage. My work however is located in an LTE zone and as soon as I enter this area battery life becomes catastrophically bad, several times the phone has died on me before my shift even ends. Something like 15% drain per hour, sometimes worse., I pick up my phone and even though it has been completely idle for hours it is a bit warm to the touch. I have no idea what it is doing when it is just sitting there.
    Trust me, I have tried all the tips from all the other users, none have worked. This is not a problem with background applications or some feature being switched on, I have tested this phone running bare bones no apps or a fully day on "battery saver" mode which seems to make no difference, the problem persists. The only way I can make it through the workday is if I put my phone into Airplane Mode, the drain then completely stops, again at less than 2% an hour.
    I am amazingly frustrated by all this, my Lumia 900 never had this problem with LTE, I almost never gave the battery a second thought with my 900, but with the 920 I am constantly worried about being stuck with a dead phone, I have almost no apps installed on the phone because I am afraid of any additional drain on the battery. I have to put my phone in Airplane Mode if I plan on spending more than an hour in the civilized world, I am so unhappy with my experience and I really miss my Lumia 900. I really wish Nokia would acknowledge that this a problem with some 920 handsets, and it is a problem, we are all not suffering from some sort of mass delusion. I have spent weeks troubleshooting and trying to find the cause. I really don't know what to do at this point.

  • IPhone 4S 5.1.1 Battery drain, fixed for my case

    I just got a 4S, to replaced my missing iphone 4.
    The firware was 5.1, so I upgraded over the air (using the phone alone) to 5.1.1
    Then I restored by phone using the back up in iTune.
    But I realised my latest backup was in iCloud (I did not backup all apps in iCloud), so I restored with iCloud again, after goto Reset Settings two times.
    Starting to use the phone, experiencing very fast battery drain, 1% drop every 2-3 minutes.
    at one time I notice the battery was hot and battery drain real fast. I found the reason:
    the iCould continue to restore but stuck. Just goto Settings - iCould -Storage & Backup, at the bottom you see iCloud Restoring (or something) then phone..
    Just cancel or stop it. Because in my case, all the apss I needed already restored.
    Next day I still experiencing very fast battery drain, 1% drop every 2-3 minutes. I tried all the Location Service - System Services - Setting Time Zone (it is on all time (purple)), but actually its not the culpit, my friends has this on and all the time has a purple arrow, no battery drain issue.
    Also tried removing email accounts, in my case, it still does not resolve it.
    I decided to have a clean upgrade to 5.1.1 (over 890MB) instead of the phone over the air upgrade (50MB+), so I connect the iphone 4S to iTune , has it synced and backup.
    Click the restore, and iTune download from apple and wipe/upgrade to 5.1.1 again. Restore it from itune after that (not set as NEW phone),
    TA TA!!
    All the problem gone.
    Hope this help, if you have similar case like me.

    It is me again, just to explain that the thing that sems to lock up the computer in step 7 of 7 is "Syncing GEnious Data to iPHone". I don't know if that helps,  but any thoughts appreciated.

  • Battery drain after 2.2 update (Exchange Active Sync users or those who use a calendar on the phone)

    A lot of folks are having "issues" with battery life after the over the air (OTA) update and there has been much speculation as to the cause.  My frustrattion level increased with each new post I read that did not reveal a resolution.  The back and forth banter about FTC complaints (that was an interesting escape from the battery problem but not very helpful), new apps running from startup (I don't like 'em either), Linux really working better with all these programs running (don't really care as long as the battery level isn't drained after an hour of just sitting on the counter) just made matters worse.
    I would like to share with you my experience and hope that it helps some of you who have taken the time to read my post.  First, let me say that the cause is not due the the "bloatware" applications that were installed during the OTA update.
    Secondly, the primary purpose of my handheld is for voice calls but running close behind is my need for immediate email, contacts and calendar information (which is configured through Exchange Active Sync).  If you are not using your phone with Active Sync or updating a remote calendar like Google), you can stop reading this post.
    I noticed that the yin/yang (sync) icon at the top of my screen kept popping up more than usual after the update.  Looking through the items I have set to sync (Menu -> Settings -> Accounts & Sync), I reviewed all the things I have set and disabled the sync settings for the things I did not want.  After disabling the "Backup Assistant", "Google", "News", "Stocks" and "Weather", I thought for sure the issue would be resolved.  Not yet.  When those adjustments didn't change the frequency of the sync, I decided to look at the Exchange Active Sync and to my surprise, the culprit was revealed - the calendar was stuck in a sync loop (syncing over and over).  I disabled the "Sync Calendar" feature and the phone stopped it's maddening attempt to refresh the calendar.
    I let the phone cool off and thought that I could get by with manually toggling the option to sync the calendar but I couldn't accept that was the only way this thing would work.  I removed the Exchange Active Sync account and created a new one.  After the new account was verified, it attempted to sync mail, contacts and calendar but this time, there was a error that occured during the calendar sync.  Instead of repeatedly attempting to re-sync, an error message that stated "Client/Server conversion error".  At this point, the calendar sync loop was no longer a problem (wasnt' draining the battery) but now my calendar wouldn't sync at all. 
    To fix it, I cleared the data in the Calendar applications (Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All [tab at the top]). Scroll down the list and open each of the Calendar items and click the "Clear Data" button. 
    (Credit goes to "Brenny" at AndroidForums.com for the post that explains how to clear the Calendar Data)
    It seems that adjustments made to events before the update were kept in the phones local storage.  After the update, the calendar data in the phone's cache was not matching my remote calendar and appears to have been the cause for my battery drain.  After performing these steps, everything is back to normal.  Good luck!

    Super frustrating, I know.  Do you use Exchange Active Sync?
    If so, you might be having the same issue that I've explained.  Since making the adjustments (clearing the data from the Active Sync components like mail, contacts and calendar), my battery life is back to normal.
    Try clearing the data (see first post in this thread) and let me know what happens.

  • Nokia Lumia 1520 Overheating & Battery Drain after...

    Hello,
    I've been experiencing an intermintent problem with my Nokia Lumia 1520 (AT&T, 16GB model) where my phone overheats and the battery drains. The problem started after I upgraded to Windows Phone 8.1 and Lumia Cyan. As of now I haven't figured out a good step by step method to reproduce the problem on demand however I have noted that when this problem occurs and I wake the phone and unlock it the Start screen shows a never ending or unusually long "Loading" message and my phone will overheat and drain the battery. So far the only way to mitigate the problem is by shutting it down manually or performing a "soft" reboot of the phone. Afterwards the problem gets resolved and the phone resumes normal operations after rebooting with the phone returning to a normal temperature and battery drain rate that is consistent with the use it is being given.
    Given that I don't know anyone else carrying a Lumia 1520 has anyone seen something similar to the problem I am describing on this post with their Lumia 1520 unit after updating to Windows Phone 8.1?
    So far the only big resolution step I've taken is to perform a complete phone reset and not recovering the phone from my back ups, effectively making it a "new" phone in terms of settings and software conditions.
    My theory for this problem is that it is software driven as an overheated phone and a stuck "Loading" message instead of the Start screen after unlocking the phone indicates that a software process (either OS or separate Application) may be behind the issue.
    Thanks for any assistance on this matter!

    Did not work unfortunately... But I have resolved my overheating and battery drain issue...
    CORTANA is the culprit and needs to be unpinned from the start screen.
    Here is the process if CORTANA is piined already..
    1) Unpin CORTANA
    2) Go to "Settings.. Applications and open Cortana
    3) Turn off Cortana
    4) Phone will RESET
    5) Go to "Settings.. Applications and open Cortana
    6) Turn on CORTANA
    DO NOT PIN TO START SCREEN
    7) Swipe your start screen over to your applications
    8) select CORTANA and allow it to set it self up again.
    Now CORTANA is still accessible by the Search icon or from your application menu.
    Now your battery.. Before the update my battery was reading "1 day, 14+ hours"
    After update After recharge I was getting 14 hours then it would start draining.
    After taking CORTANA off the start screen my phone stop getting hot near the camera (Upper left) and after 2 days (Battery cycling) my battery has returned back to reading "1 day, 14+ hours"
    My assumption - The matter will be resolved with the Lumia Denim update coming later this qtr.
    When that arrives my understanding is CORTANA is off BETA in US. Some additional Firmware tweaking, along with the camera updates and more.. Which "SHOULD" resolve this battery drain & over heating with CORTANA
    Per my experience, I believe you're right that Cortana is the culprit for the problem described by the original poster. I unpinned Cortana from my start screen 6 days ago, and so far so good. I have not had a recurrence of that problem. I did not turn Cortana off and then back on again though. I just unpinned it, and that seems to have done the trick.
    I'm also hopeful the Windows Phone 8.1.1 and Lumia Denim update will fix this since Cortana will be off Beta in the U.S.

  • Help! My Nokia N8 battery drains to 0% in 8 hours

    Hello everyone,
    First of all, I'd like to state that I have read a lot and please do not advise things like "turn off GPS, bluetooth, etc, etc, etc,". It's not that. There is NOTHING running in my cellphone.
    I charged it completely to 100% (until hearing the bip), that was at 12:00am, went to bed, woke up at 7am and the phone was 20% battery. I tested this during several nights now.
    I bought my phone 2 weeks ago and the battery lasted at least 2 days with me listening to music, playing games, browsing the Internet through my home Wi-Fi, making calls and sending e-mails BUT suddenly this problem started to happen.
    Something to have in mind, I had a Qtek 9100 before this Nokia N8 and had the same exact problem, and I believe this occurs when connecting the cell phone to my laptop or computer, why?, again, because I remember my at that time new Qtek 9100 had a new battery and all of a sudden, when I connected it to my laptop or PC through USB port, its battery started to drain itself (of course I didn't realize it was my laptop or PC fault at that time), but now, with my Nokia N8, the NEW battery drains to 0% too and the only thing I can think of (since I have just bought the cell phone) is the same thing, that I connected the Nokia N8 to my laptop and/or PC through USB.
    It's frustrating to see that you charge your NEW phone to 100% and in less than 8 hours it goes to 0% without doing anything at all, just going to bed with the phone's battery saving feature activated.
    I am positive my laptop or PC has something that interacted with the battery powering and either damaged it or had something stuck in a way the battery is being drained someway.
    By the way, I don't discard my PC or laptop had an application stuck and continuously running in the background that I haven't discovered.
    So, based on what I explained, any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thank you all,
    Max

    If you expecting a solution, well you will not get it, Nokia N8 is not the only phone with this problem, most smartphones are, Ifruite 4, droids, I'm sure Nokia will do something about it in their future FW upgrade, but for now you just have to deal with it and try to manage by tweaking your setting as mentioned in those other threads. I get about 12 hours of battery life out of mine and its not great but hey I don't mind charging it up every now and then. And if I do some heavy usage, probably around 7-8 hours but again, I charge it more than once a day and its not always full charge, mostly just to add some juice to it. Hopefully we see a better battery management in the next FW.
    Once again, I don't really care about the performance of other smartphones.
    I'm only interested in the performance of the N8, more particularly my own.
    None of the Nokia N8s sold until now has reached, or even come close, to the official specs published by Nokia. That needs to be explained by the brand.
    If the numbers are not explained, it is a case of fraudulent publicity and that, is punishable by law!
    Your kidding me right?
    Nokia is a international company that has been huge for decades. I'm PRETTY SURE they know what they are doing. For the LAST time, the length that is advertised for the phone isn't the 100% absolute length of time the phone will last, it will vary between every single user depending on how you use it.
    You CANNOT expect a phone to last as long as you want it to.
    There ARE some minor faults with the Symbian power management that cause this phone to drain more power than it should, but that should be fixed soon.
    My N8 lasts me 3 days easily. and im currently on my 4th.
    If you honestly believe that Nokia is breaking the law, than by all means, on behalf of ALL OF US here in the forums who want a better battery life, sue the pants off them, or try to. But if you can't or don't want to, then stop telling everyone else they are breaking the law.

  • Battery drain is excessive

    i am getting a big drain on my iphone5 battery and i need to find out what app or something that is causing this
    i have air plane mode and bluetooth mode off and still i am getting a battery drain too fast and its at a point being to recharge 3x a day
    i always keep it charged when i am home
    and i have done turned off any notification that is not important
    and still getting a drain
    i need an app to install and determine what app is running in the background that is pulling the load and i like to find out so i can get to the root of the problem
    thanks in advance

    This exposes the multi-tasking list as I explained. This means this things have been used lately, and are in a suspended state. Most applications do not actually run in the background, they can just be easily accessed there. Swiping upwards as I said will force closed the app, and it doesn't matter what it does. You just need to try and find out what process is stuck and causing your battery drain.

  • Battery drain during hibernatio​n (T500 & WIN7 x64)

    I have a problem with battery draining during the hibernation. In 8h I lose about 5% of battery.
    Hybrid sleep is turned off.
    Any suggestions?

    sir, disable wake up on lan in bios.
    On my miserable T400 ,hibernating with 100% power, it was draining  approx 7% and the Lenovo support  stuff were not
    able to point me to that , insisting that battery drain was a normal phenomenon with even what they thmselves were
    stuck with.
     Well, knowledge is power.

  • Battery drains while sleeping after RAM upgrade

    Installed 16 GB of RAM and a Hybrid/SSD 1 TB internal HD on MacBook Pro 15" mid 2012 and now the battery drains while the computer is in sleep mode, about 1-3 % per hour. Before the RAM upgrade (stock 4 GB of RAM) there was no noticeable battery drain, so I assume it has to do with the upgrade. I read that it takes more power to maintain 16 GB of RAM during sleep, so my questions are as follows:
    Is 1-3% per hour normal?
    Will resetting the SMC help the issue?
    Does the Hybrid HD have anything to do with this?
    I am not too happy about the battery drain as it happens that I don't use my laptop for some time and prior to the upgrade the loss of battery charge was not an issue at all. Is this the price I have to pay for maxing out my RAM or is there a way (resets, settings, etc) to reduce the amount of battery loss
    Thanks for your input.

    Hi everybody. I have the same question. I have a macbook unibody late 2008. I have recently upgraded the OS to Yosemite. In order to have a smoother functioning of the system I have immediately replaced my original 2Gb (1+1) RAM with 8 Gb (4+4). Since then, I have noticed a dramatic reduction of my battery charge during sleep mode. Now after 8 hours of sleep it goes from 100% to around 65% (before it was 95%). Is it a natural consequence of having installed a larger RAM or there could be anything wrong with my settings?
    I have read a couple of articles about standby mode and standbydelay setting but this does not apply to my model of macbook.
    Here is my pmset -g result:
    Active Profiles:
    Battery Power        -1*
    AC Power        -1
    Currently in use:
