FileVault failed and now I can't turn it off.

Any word on a solution here? I tried to turn OFF filevault (it turned on fine and encrypted fine) but then got hung up on logging back in. Now I have the same error and results as you all do. Solution please!!!

Now had a case open for 2 weeks. Data capture provided but have had to chase after no response from Apple. Suggestion was to back up data and rebuild - I suggested to them that they find a fix!

The seem ignorant to that fact that this issue is not just being experieced by me.

Yeah..Apple told me to do a clean install of Lion again....ay ay ay...

No, there is no news except this thread. I'm expecting 10.7.1 to fix this.

And how long do I have to wait for that?

p.s. I'm also having a major issue connecting to the windows 2003 server here at work. Could turning on filevault and encrypting anything had any effect on this?

Just curious...

Nobody except Apple knows. We're all waiting for now.

Same problem on a 2006 mbp, expect I was trying to move from FileValult 1 to Filevault 2. Same errors. The genius bar suggested I didn't have enough free space to de-encrypt, which could have kicked me into this weird loop, but freeing up bags of space and trying again and again gives me the same result as many others here, so my guess is that is likely not the case.

Just upgraded to 10.7.1 hoping there would be a fix there, but no joy. Maybe I'm missing something. Strangely, I can't upgrade my iPad (1) OS on this machine either, the installer fails. I think the two are connected, but's it's not a major blow for me.

This mbp isn't my primary computer, but one I travel with, so security is a concern and I'd like to have this working.

just upgraded to 10.7.1 - issue still remains.

I did clean install of 10.7.0. Applied 10.7.1, turned filevault on and again after finishing I got this error 😟

Just upgraded, issue has changed a little but still remains.

I still can't turn FileVault off, but now I haven't any errors in Utily Disk.

You can file a bug at http://bugreport.apple.com and an Apple engineer will ask you for relevant information to diagnose.

you need to be a developer to report bugs.

You only need to have an Apple ID to report bugs. You already have an Apple ID if you have an iTunes account (to buy music, iPhone/iPad apps etc). Even if you don't already have an Apple ID, you can easily apply one from appleid.apple.com for free.

I had to sign up as a developer to report a bug. Even with entering my Apple ID first..they still wanted me to apply as a 'developer' before being allowed to sign into the bug reporter.

Register as an Apple Developer is free, and only takes a minute or two. And this can let your bug heard by Apple engineers.
