Hi.. I was unencrypting my TM back up disk volume (one of 3 on a 2TB My Passport) when the battery failed on the Macbook Pro. Doh. And now it doesnt show in disk utility or the TM Prefs menu as being in progress (it did before).

it DOES show when i do diskutil cs list... (see below). this is all above my competence and wondering if this forum can help me recover the TM volume?

Cheers, S

I assume here it is that Pro TM one you want to decrypt? It looks like it is in the middle of converting now. Have you tried just waiting a bit?

If that does not work, run this first command in Terminal to unlock the volume:

Code:
diskutil corestorage unlockVolume 0D3BE124-FF73-4920-8A7C-F78C83C28D0C -stdinpassphrase

You will be asked for your password.

Now enter this command to unencrypt:

Code:
diskutil corestorage revert 0D3BE124-FF73-4920-8A7C-F78C83C28D0C -stdinpassphrase
