filevault

Hey, is there any chance to check IF I turned on FileVault while first booting? I'm not sure if I enabled it, but now it's turned on... I'm wondering so because I see my Macbook slows down after recent update... (14.10.3) Maybe you could post a video with MacBook booting up? I heard that this...

Hello everybody I had installed High Sierra with ColdStorage Encryption Disk, I had different password for decrypting hard drive and different password for User. It was done with intention, i need extra level of security as my user password is not so strong as decryption password. That was my...

I've been reading up on the subject, and it is my understanding that although the SSD on the new MBP is encrypted by default by the T2 chip, I should enable FileVault as well. From what I understood, enabling FileVault would tie my password with the encryption key in the T2 controller, making...

I picked up a refurbished iMac Pro recently. I set it up and have FileVault running. I noticed when it starts up it takes a very long time (40 seconds +) after I hit the login screen (the one with the icons) before the Bluetooth mouse connects. The loading also feels a little glitchy and the...

Hello All, I need to encrypt my 2015 MacBook Pro to/at (?) 256 AES and hoped to used FileVault to do so. When clicking the "Turn On FileVault..." button, absolutely nothing happens. I have followed the instructions on...

I've a MacBook Pro running High Sierra with an internal SSD and 2 external HDD's for backup. The first external is using Time Machine and the other is using Carbon Copy Cloner, in order to be bootable if needed. None of those 3 HD's are encrypted. For security/privacy I've been using encrypted...

It was the PCIleech problem (retrieving FileVault keys), that got fixed in 10.12.4. Looking at Apple’s website it looks like it was only fixed for Sierra and not El Cap?

I am stuck on the FileVault decryption becoming unresponsive. I noticed Abelton starting to tell me to f-off, then Logic Pro, so I started undoing the things I had done inside the preferences. I finally found out after 3 days of online references, I found the stubborn decryption the system is...

Hi everyone. I enabled Filevault for my main drive (SSD) and the two HDDs connected (1TB each). After running for a few hours, I wanted to restart the system. The screen went off, but the system has been "restarting" for more than 2 days. I can hear the 2 HDDs, working non-stop which probably...

erased my hard drive to factory reset my 2012 MacBook Pro and now I cannot re install high sierra. I reset it because I updated high Sierra and it said that it couldn’t be installed due to a missing or damaged os install (picture one). So after I reset it and tried to reinstall it says FileVault...

Hi, I want to clean install High Sierra. The last time I did it, i formatted to APFS and enabled FV after OS installation. Remaning time for encryption was 14 hours vs 20 minutes on Sierra! This time, if I just format to APFS encrypted during clean install, FV will be enabled from the start...

So I'm looking at finally getting around to upgrading to High Sierra, which will mean converting my SSD partitions to APFS. Currently I have two partitions, one for macOS, applications and an administrator account, and another for all other user accounts, both partitions are encrypted. Now, my...

Hi fellow Mac OS X user, I am running Lion (10.7.5) on a mid-2011 Mac mini which boots from an extended (journaled, encrypted) partition residing on a Crucial SSD. When I tried to upgrade to El-Capitan, the system could not boot during the installation process, and I was greeted with an icon of...

Hello, I updated my MBP 2015 to High Sierra (I also used beta versions) and had a problem with twice-login screen. First login was for FileVault and used my old password, second was "right" login screen. I decided to turn off FileVault and encrypt disk again. Turning FileVault helped, becuase...

Hi, I was wondering if I could easily do a backup of my current macOS Sierra MacBook, erase the disk in recovery mode and do a clean install of High Sierra on the fresh disk, then restore via backup what I have right now. In other words: would FileVault, which is activated on my current macOS...

Hi, I have one problem how to find out my key from macOS Sierra FileVault (is not FileVault 2), (Although it is switched on), if not, somehow help me. I forgot to copy the key and paste or write on the paper, can you help me? :(

Hello, I am hoping someone here may be able to offer some insight. I lost my brother this past year and have his MacBook Pro. I don't know anything about Macs since I am a Windows user but desperately want to access his pictures (he always took a ton at the holidays and family events). However...

I can't log into my MacBookPro. I have two SSD's in my MBP. On disk0 I installed OS X 10.11 and all my applications. I then rerouted the home folder to disk1, where all the documents and media is saved on. I turned on FileVault for disk0; rebootet. Then I turned on FileVault for disk1 as well...

I know that it is possible to create a lock screen message on a machine that is running FileVault, but is it possible to create a login screen message? It seems that this might be tricky since the boot process does not really even begin until a password is entered. Any thoughts?
