Hey all,
I'm working on someone's laptop, upgrading SSD to a larger one. It's a 2015 MacBook Pro, Retina. Originally it came with a 128GB SSD. We're upgrading to a 1TB SSD.
Anyway, I figured it would be a good idea to disable FileVault (full disk encryption) prior to moving the data. So I went to settings, and clicked turn FileVault Off. Entered their password, and it did its thing. It took about an hour, like it estimated. At the very end, the progress bar went away, then it froze, and showed the Apple equivalent of a BSOD "this computer restarted due to a problem blah blah"
Upon restarting, it boots, but when I enter the password, it just goes back to that screen. After a few times of that, it went into recovery OS where it prompted me to change the password. So I did. Well, upon a reboot, it does the same thing...
Anyone have any ideas? I did not do anything wrong here, you would think simply clicking a disable FileVault button would work... Apple quality strikes again.
I hate Macs, have I made that part clear yet? But I'd love to fix this issue... as I'll probably have an angry customer if I can't figure this out.
Thanks all!
