Re: macOS Encryption Questions

2017-02-17 Thread Terje Strømberg 
Same here. Difficulties to log in after backup after starting the encryption 
process. Do one restart of the mac first after install or later backups. 
Sometimes the filevault freeze and you have to back up again. So, do first a 
backup of the clean install. Then you have less trouble if filevault freeze the 
first time. If it works to start up the first time afte chosing filevault, it 
works very good. You don’t have voice over when in the log in screen. Just wait 
and type in the password.

Last time i did restart the mac and turn off voice over after the last «ok» 
screen window. I use the Zoom Text magnifier to find the «ok» or «rstart now» 
button. It may be a voice over conflict. Only the first time after chosing to 
use filevault. After the first restart, it works very good here.

Take care

Re: macOS Encryption Questions

2017-02-17 Thread Scott Granados 
Brian, you should run and don’t walk and enable file vault right away.  
Encryption its a good thing and it works fantastically under voice over.

The encrypted file system you mention is basically the standard apple file 
system with an encrypted extension.  It’s part of file vault as I understand 
things, happy to be corrected.  You trigger the encryption process with the 
FileVault program so that’s where you want to begin.

Good luck.

Hi Brian,

File Vault can be tempermental sometimes for a screen reader user.  I quit 
using it due to this reason.  I wanted my hard drive  to be encrypted with File 
Vault.  The problem really came when I rebooted and logged in.  Sometimes it 
logs in okay and other times not.  I never say don’t do it I just say be 
mindful when doing it.

macOS Encryption Questions

2017-02-17 Thread Brian Hansen 
I’m fixing to do a clean install of Sierra on my Mac, and I was wondering 
should I erase the disk using MacOS extended with encryption, or should I use 
file volt after the MacOS is installed?  Also, are there any issues, or 
potential issues I need to be aware of when using either of the above methods? 
Are these 2 different ways of securing my main drive, or do they work in 
conjunction with one another.  I’ve tried looking online, but I haven’t found a 
lot of detailed information, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks.


Blessings,

Brian
