Yosemite update, file vault froze up

I recently downloaded os x yosemite update. I was prompted to use filevault as well as other features. When i did the file vault it has seemed to of frozen and won't complete encryption and is now super slow! HELP??

no, it does say that its estimating time remaining. I noticed if i watch it run that the completion line will fill up, then suddenly it drops back to  3/4 of the way. it then repeats that over and over. but it won't give me a estimated time remaining. .

    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.

  • 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!

  • Updating to Mtn Lion with File Vault 2 running ?

    Will I be able to update to Mtn Lion with File Vault 2 running or will I need to unencrypt ?

    I disagree. You are doing a major operating system upgrade. That changes all the base OS files, including the file vault files.
    I would think it foolish to do that type of upgrade with File Vault enabled.
    But we will find out as many will do the upgrade with File Vault enabled and if they have problems they will surely post about it.

  • I need to download the httpd.conf file included in Yosemite update.

    Where can I go to re-download the version of the httpd.conf that is included with the Yosemite update. Yosemite upgrades to a later version of Apache, and it puts a new httpd.conf file on the machine. When I update, my localhost server stopped working, and in my attempts to get it working again, I accidentally overwrite the file. So, I would like to get my machine back to the point of the update, so I can do a better job of correcting the problems, and getting localhost working again. Does anyone have a URL or anything I can go to to get a fresh version of httpd.conf for Yosemite? Thanks very much.

    Yes, somebody could, but that is illegal. I'm sure you can understand that given this site is Apple's.
    You can extract what you want from the installer package if you know how to Pacifist and have a copy of the installer application. Or if you own another computer running Yosemite, then you can get a copy from it.
    If you ask someone to send you a copy while on these forums, then it's likely the moderators will dismiss you for the violation. I understand your situation, but no one here can help you without it causing a stink. I hope you understand.

  • 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?

  • 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!!

    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.

  • Disappearing Hard Drive Space After Yosemite Update

    After installing OS X Yosemite my hard drive space has dwindled to basically nothing, rendering my computer useless.  I had at least 50 gb (maybe more) of hard drive space before updating from mavericks to yosemite.  Now, after using my computer for 30 mins or less I get an error message saying that my storage space is low. After a restart I will get about 600 mb of storage but then the cycle repeats.  Since I have upgraded to Yosemite I have not saved or downloaded any large files but there is a significant amount of storage space (104 gb) used in the other category.  It is not consistent with my usage. I initially had file vault encryption turned on but I thought maybe that was the cause of my disappearing hard drive space so I turned file encryption off and still no luck.
    Please Help!

    You are too low on drive space for iDVD to run properly. It is recommended that you try to have about 15-20 GB free for the application to run. See if you can delete anything to free up more space. Or, move more of your files to your external drive. iDVD needs to be on your computer's drive, so don't move it, or any of the iLife applications to your external drive.
    You can create iMovies on an external drive, move your entire iPhoto and iTunes libraries to external drives, but I find iDVD works better if I create its projects on my main drive. I save all of my iDVD projects as disk image files and then move those files to my external drive for saving my projects. This allows me to delete the original iDVD project and the original iMovie project used in it, which gives more free space on my drives.

  • 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? 

  • File vault paused and doesn't resume on Mac pro Mid 2012.

    file vault paused and doesn't resume on Mac pro 13" Mid 2012 LED display even after charger plugged in.
    I activated file vault for the first time after upgrading to Yosemite OS X . Normal boot is unsuccessful as system hangs and get stuck but works only on safe mode (with usual limitations)and on contacting apple support tried internet recovery to create partition on HD to reinstall Yosemite, but failed as partition lay out is inactive ,later it was informed that encryption process overworked 500GB (non SSD) hard drive and the hard drive needs to be replaced!!
    Did anyone have similar issue...any solutions?? Help!!

    Ok,
    did some extra test here, but first of all my configuration:
    Mac Pro (Mid 2012) with ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB.
    2 LCD 24" Wide-screen (1st monitor Hyundai W240D and 2nd Monitor HP w2448hc), both LCD worked perfectly until reboot after installing OS X 1.8.2
    After reboot only the 1st monitor wored fine, the 2nd not even listed, so tried to invert cable connections on the 2 miniports on the ATI video card, but nothing changed, still only the 1st monitor working.
    Did a second test, disconnected the 1st monitor and connected ONLY the 2nd and now the second works fine.
    Tried to connect 2nd monitor on a different miniport, and i still works fine.
    Updated my MacBook Pro to 1.8.2 (it as an nVidia card) and connected my 2nd monitor to it and everything works fine, both the laptop LCD and my HP LCD are working fine.
    So it looks like Apple screwed up the ATI driver on the latest 1.8.2, now only ONE miniport is active.
    To all users with the same Mac Pro configuration: hold to update to Mountain Lion 1.8.2 until Apple fix this driver issue.
    More info are on the Console output, so will have to contact Apple on-line support to signal this bug.

  • After the last Yosemite update on my MacBook pro I turned the FileVault on, now my Mac is freezing all the time and encrypting the drive looks like going to last forever and I am unable to use my MacBook pro what must I do???!!!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.

  • Volume no longer working on MacBook Pro after Yosemite update.

    The volume on my MacBook Pro no longer works after the Yosemite update.
    "Internal speakers" is selected for device output.
    I'm not sure how to fix this...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

  • 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!
