Apr 15, 2015 8:50 AM in response to DarkCrowby demondrummer07,Did you try to 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?
-
Apr 15, 2015 11:53 AM in response to demondrummer07by DarkCrow,Same as most ones here. Took my new mac out of the package and set it up and opted to run filevault. Big mistake.

Apr 15, 2015 12:01 PM in response to demondrummer07by twhoward99,...during the install process. I had done a PRAM reset prior to the 10.10.3 update.

Apr 15, 2015 1:31 PM in response to twhoward99by demondrummer07,So you tried filevault on first system startup and it failed, you reformatted the drive & let it run w/out filevault until 10.10.3 came out, ran the 10.10.3 update, reset PRAM, then enabled filevault and it works okay?

Apr 15, 2015 1:50 PM in response to demondrummer07by twhoward99,If I remember correctly, I reset the PRAM, installed the update, went to the File Vault pane, and successfully unpaused the encryption (and subsequently disabled FV).

Apr 15, 2015 1:53 PM in response to twhoward99by demondrummer07,Interesting. I undid the partial encryption by formatting the drive. I got the laptop new and since I didn't have anything on it, I was more OK with doing that thing.
I just took a Time Machine backup so I think I'll try the FV encryption tonight since I've updated to 10.10.3.

Apr 17, 2015 1:55 PM in response to SC54HIby AnindoM,I had faced this issue for long with my new macbook pro. I tried reformatting, re- installing Yoesmite, but nothing worked.
The last attempt I made was verifying permission and then repairing them. Restart and press cmd+r. Go to disk utility and verify and repair permissions for your disk.
From what the logs said, there was some permission issues for a printer driver and which caused the Encryption to fail.
Hope it helps.

Apr 17, 2015 5:43 PM in response to AnindoMby VibezPL,So have this worked for you? I mean, I've noticed I had issues with printer permissions too, but nothing has changed.
It really amazes my, by the way, that the well known solution for the problem works for half the people here, and the other ones still can't get through it in any way.
Is this model dependent? Or, if not, what does it depend on? Any ideas?
I mean, there has to be some sort of a scheme.

Apr 20, 2015 6:10 AM in response to VibezPLby Petehok,10.10.3 didn't fix it for me either. I've done all the tricks mentioned, but none of them have helped. Still stuck. And it *****!

Apr 21, 2015 11:08 AM in response to Petehokby fastfreddy,I just updated to 10.10.3. After the reboot and installation FileVault started encrypting again. After about 40 minutes encryption was completed. I'm on a new 15-inch MacBook Pro, mid 2014, purchased about a week ago to replace a stolen MacBook Pro with the same specs. I initially ran into encryption problems when trying to restore my new MacBook from a backup of my stolen MacBook. I ended up getting the "encryption paused connect to a power supply" issue that I couldn't resolve.
Seems like it's fixed now.

Apr 21, 2015 8:46 PM in response to AnindoMby demondrummer07,I am not sure if this is what enabled it to work, but it worked.
Here's what happened to me:
- Bought a 2015 Macbook pro w/ 2.8GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, and Intel Iris Pro graphics (in February, I think I was on 10.10.1)
- Plugged the Macbook into an older MagSafe charger using the adapter
- Booted into the setup wizard, started FileVault encryption from there
- Noticed minutes later in the System Preferences window, the "Encryption Paused, please plug into power" message
- Found this post, ended up using the repair tool to wipe the disk and reinstall OS X
- DID NOT enable FileVault during the setup wizard
- Waited for 10.10.3 to drop
- Made a time machine backup of the drive
- Plugged in the power supply that came with the Macbook (so the newer one, not the older one with the adapter like last time)
- Ran Verify Disk and Repair Disk Permissions, some printer stuff came up funky and was repaired similar to what AnindoM said
- Rebooted
- Opened System Preferences and started the FileVault encryption process and walked away, checking on it periodically
- In about an hour it reported that it was finished
I hope these steps help give context and help others get FV working on their machines.

Jun 2, 2015 11:31 AM in response to Eugeny44by n01011867,Thank you so much Eugeny44!!!
I WAS stuck on this paused state since November/2014.
I followed your procedure and it solved my problem. Now, the disk is encrypted.
I am using Yosemite 10.10.4 (Public Beta).
Thank you again.

Jun 17, 2015 6:39 AM in response to zinnjdby DarkCrow,I swear that this will be the last Apple product I buy if they don't solve this **** already. It's been months and I simply cannot afford to make a clean install. FFS seriously now. I've been a solid customer for years and this will be the last time I buy any apple product if they do not fix this.
