Oct 22, 2014 2:26 PM in response to Madgettby Rawiesen,When you get to the disk utility via CMD R, be sure to unlock your hard drive via the File menu, verify disk permissions, repair disk permissions and repair disk.

Oct 23, 2014 4:44 AM in response to scafedeby jsdfi89o,Federico fixed worked 100% for me! Cannot believe apple tech support did not know how to do this. I am glad I did not go the restore route.
My encryption finally finished (like 20 hours on a 768 GB mid-2012 macbook pro).
Now I am wondering if I should keep encryption on and if hurts performance at all.

Oct 23, 2014 4:58 AM in response to Madgettby asof14,Just to echo everyone else, Scafede / Federico's solution worked for me as well! Thank you!
At first, I couldn't get it to work. However, when I went straight into booting into the disk utility after resetting the PRAM, it worked! I think this combination of events is the key because at first I reset the PRAM, booted up, and restarted again to the disk utility and this didn't solve it. Again, after resetting the PRAM immediately hold down command R to boot into disk utility and follow the rest of his instructions.

Early 2011 MacBook Pro. 'Encryption Paused' although power adapter is plugged in.
- PRAM Reset no good
- SMC Reset no good
- 'sudo fdesetup disable' no good
- Turn Off Encryption via Disk Utility no good status bar shows 70 days left
@apple: please fix asap

Oct 26, 2014 12:20 AM in response to zinnjdby jwelches,Same Problem...Upgrade to 10.10, Encryption paused, clearly this is a bug Apple needs to fix.

Oct 26, 2014 12:30 AM in response to zinnjdby rssg,I'm seeing the same problem on one of the MacBook Pro's I manage. We unfortunately didn't see these problem reports before turning on FileVault and it looks like we're out of luck. Apple really dropped the ball on the file system upgrade, core storage logical volume groups and specially the tools needed to manage these features. It looks like a rushed alpha or pre-beta release.
And now... to waste a few hours recovering the data from an old backup.

Oct 26, 2014 4:17 AM in response to Madgettby Madgett,Well it's taken over 3 days, when it seemed to be mostly "optimising" what ever that is, but now I'm decrypting with 9 hours to go!
