Mar 24, 2015 11:04 AM in response to Nieldby shottyotter,I tried everything else on this thread, and in the end re-installing Yosemite was the only option. I followed Nield advice. Thanks for your help!

Mar 26, 2015 4:32 PM in response to shottyotterby james-sae,Tried pretty much every method described on this thread, eventually tried to restore a time machine backup and that failed and left the drive unusable. Had to delete the logical volume group to even be able to reinstall Yosemite. I have yet to see whether the time machine backups will actually work. For a known fault I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed yet, not what you want when you've just spent £1500 on a brand new MBP...

Apr 6, 2015 10:16 PM in response to Jonathan Laliberteby Justin Middleton,This fixed it for me—the key seems to have been the repair on the disk, not just the main partition. Thanks Jonathan.

Apr 6, 2015 10:19 PM in response to Justin Middletonby Justin Middleton,Ugh, and since this isn't threaded, my response went to the end. Jonathan's solution, which worked for me, is essentially:
- Zap PRAM (reboot holding Cmd-Opt-P-R)
- Boot into recovery after hearing the two chimes (Cmd-R)
- Select "Repair Disk"
- Mount the encrypted partition
- Select the disk on which the partition is located
- Click "Repair Disk"
- Wait until complete, and reboot.

Apr 8, 2015 10:50 AM in response to nour mssotieby VibezPL,I am sad to announce that 10.10.3 does not resolve the issue.
Neither directly after the update, nor after redoing previously listed steps.

Thank you. You are an angel.
Restart, Reset PRAM and booting in Restore mode, repairing partition did the trick. The encryption un-paused and decrypted in less than 30 minutes.
AWESOME. -

You should run Apple tech support.

Apr 13, 2015 7:23 PM in response to twhoward99by DarkCrow,Nope not for me. Not that I expected it. Looks like Apple isn't interested in fixing this problem.

Apr 15, 2015 6:52 AM in response to zinnjdby VibezPL,I have two quick questions to you guys about the issue (I'm still having it):
1. Can I reinstall the system without touching any of my 600gb data, and expect all of the files will be 100% usable with FileVault switched to off on fresh build?
2. If I was to back up all of my "half" encrypted files on TimeMachine, reinstall OS X (this time without FV encryption), and then put them back on disk, will I be able to access them without any problems?
I am one of these people who can't afford to wipe the whole disk, simply because all of the files are critical for my work and I cannot afford to lose them.
It would help a lot to know answers to both of the questions. I am losing hope for Apple to solve this at this point unfortunately.

Apr 15, 2015 7:13 AM in response to VibezPLby DarkCrow,Hey,
No there's no workaround. I think you can do a time machine back up. I'm in the same situation as you. It ***** big time. I just bough a new MacBook Pro and had already transferred all important files once I noticed the issue. On top of that my old MBPs hard drive died on me so I'm stuck. This is such a stupid issue and I cannot believe that with a premium product I need to sit here and wait for them to fix it. We're on 10.10.3 already and still nothing done to the issue.

Apr 15, 2015 8:18 AM in response to DarkCrowby demondrummer07,Incredibly disappointed that Apple hasn't fixed this yet. I'd expect this from Dell, Lenovo, or some other manufacturer but not Apple.

Apr 15, 2015 8:49 AM in response to twhoward99by demondrummer07,Did you set up FileVault after the system was installed and updated or did you go through the OS install and choose FileVault during the install process?
