Macbook setup crash on FileVault

Yeah, mine did too. I rebooted and was good to go then.

I said "screw it" since nothing had been installed yet and did an Internet Recovery installation of 10.10.3.

Same here except it then created 2 admins and I had to go in and delete the first one. Mildly annoying.

Same thing happened to me. I had to reboot and delete second account.

Ha same here - which was another reason to wipe the thing clean with an erase and IR install.

Mine (1.2/512) came with 10.10.2 installed. FileVault went off without a hitch whatsoever. No delay, no beachball... As soon as I booted into OS X, I updated to 10.10.3. FileVault is on, and all seems well.

Sorry for those of you who have had trouble!

looks like a common problem. so did mine.
i just force rebooted it and there was two admin accounts, just delete one of them.

same issue here, also was 10.10.2 out of the box. Downloading the update now.

I also experienced the beachball at that step. Fortunately I read a post here to just wait for it. 10-15 minutes later sure enough it went through.

Same thing happened here a well. I wonder how this escaped their QA process if it's happening on so many (all?) of them.

I just restarted, created a second admin account and went back and deleted the second one. FileValut enabled no problem, and there was nothing weird after I upgraded to 10.10.3.
