FileVault stuck on "Encryption Paused"

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 *****!

that happened to me too i called the apple support

they meant that its a bug or so

i reinstalled yosemite and after the installation was finished then i activated file vault

I was stuck on this aswel, and I did what you said KenJr I plugged in the charger and it started encrypting.

Thanks so much

Same happened to me. I went to disk utility, clicked on my Mac SSD, checked repair disk, then repair disk permissions. Resumed as soon as it finished with repair permissions.

Actually not at the top. the disk utility is at bottom I believe. Otherwise what you are saying is correct.

Thanks.....will have to give it a shot.

Wonder why this would work where booting to Recovery console doesn't?!? Same thing.....booting to a different drive.

sorry:

10. click file and "turn off encryption"

I am glad that worked for you

Did you ever figure out a solution to this? My terminal log shows pretty much the exact same thing... The drive appears to be non-revertible.

This helped me after having the curse for 9 months, thank you!

Awesome!!! This worked perfectly.

I had unplugged my UPS thinking the same thing as you and was disappointed to see nothing change then ran another backup. I came across your post to reboot and voila! It worked, Muchas gracias!

This worked for me!! Thanks!!

still does not help.

I've been fighting with my Macbook Pro for three days now after upgrading to El Capitan and electing to use FileVault. Your solution is what helped me. Thanks!
