Hi guys I did not know that my Mac was encrypting still when I shut the lid for the night. It went to sleep, and the first thing that happened was it wanted power to continue encryption. I guess it got done when I put the power on because it hasn’t complained any more. I didn’t know what FileVault was, but it sounded important enough to leave alone and say yes to.
