Just an update for anyone who may be helped by my experience.

About 10 days ago I decided to take the extreme measure of erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the OS after trying the other steps suggested including disabling FileVault and installing the OS in recovery mode.

Phase 1: Started iMac Pro in Safe Mode and erased hard drive using Disk Utility. I then did a fresh install of macOS High Sierra. I ran Disk Utility First Aid on the fresh install and all three crypto_val warnings were gone and Disk Utility reported the disk was fine.

Phase 2: Enabled FileVault. Then I ran First Aid and Disk Utility reported the disk was fine with no sign of the crypto_val warnings.

Phase 3: I again booted the iMac Pro in Safe Mode, erased the hard drive and did a full system restore from Time Machine. I then ran Disk Utility First Aid on the fresh Time Machine install and all three crypto_val warnings were gone and Disk Utility reported the disk was fine.

Phase 4: Enabled FileVault again. Then I ran First Aid and Disk Utility reported the disk was fine with no crypto_val warnings.

Phase 5: Partitioned hard drive and installed Windows 10 Home via Bootcamp Assistant. Then booted back to macOS and ran First Aid and Disk Utility which reported the disk was fine, still no crypto_val warnings.

Of note however, ever since the fresh installs if I run Disk Utility First Aid I always have to force relaunch Finder because all my folders / files disappear particularly on my external hard drives and Dropbox. However, force relaunch brings them back... so there seems to be some bugginess remaining although the machine seems to be running fine with no other issues as of now.

Seems very common on many IMac Pros ... Apple needs to fix this . This is a very pricey machine. They need to take care of the customers.

I think the same th10gt, but I'd like to avoid doing the wiping/reinstall thing. I have so much stuff and apps on my imac pro it will take ages to reconfigure.

@th10gt well no I did not, as anybody would do, I got the imac preinstalled, and started using it. Therefore I can't be sure my backups are 100% exempt of this issue.

How many have contacted Apple about this. It's distressing that they are sending replacement computers that have the same problem. Apple needs to act fast on this.

Same here. All hush no help from Apple. *****.

@ ag_316: The problem is (not only here but in a lot of other groups as well) that posting something is much easier than reading the full thread... Nice Easter from Germany!

Could not agree more, we need Apple to bring us back REALIABLE stuff an listen to pro users for their computers line. Unfortunaltely, those guys are living in the skies and don't really seem to care.

Does anyone know if Apple support is giving out this solution as a fix or not to the crypto_val problems? Or are they still ignoring it?

Apr 13, 2018 7:59 PM in response to Nevering

Still ignoring it. They couldn't care less. I've emailed Steve Nephew (higher up at AppleCare) and left voicemails

1-877-416-4271 Ext. 1137471

Steve_Nephew@apple.com

And haven't gotten a single response back.

But I'm a sucker and have kept a $5,000 computer that kind of works.

Well, they should just take a look at this (and similar) threads...

Hi @1Ronin what do you mean by "migration from time machine", is it different from a restore ?

Is all this "transfer files from another Mac or Time machine." done from within Cmd R??

thanks

After you have reinstalled MacOS and it restarts like a brand new machine, it is the first or second screen that comes up
