Q: "Recovery system update required." for Find My Mac -- after already updated!
I've run the latest round of updates on My 2011 MacBook Pro, and I have run into a snag with the new iCloud control panel.
I want to enable the "Find My Mac" feature, but unfortunately I am not able to, as the checkbox is grayed out. There is an error beside the control saying that I need to update the recovery system as per the title of this thread. I actually already *did* do this earlier today, however, and there are no other updates.
What is going on here? Is it possible that the update didn't actually install properly? I was away from the computer at the time it rebooted and would have installed that portion, so I can't tell, but if I look in the update history, I see "Lion Recovery Update 1.0" from today in the list.
Is anyone else having this problem? I wonder if it's just a buggy update Hopefully this will be fixed soon by Apple in a subsequent update, but I'm curious if there's something I can do in the meantime.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1), Just updated to 10.7.2, not listed

Run Disk Utility, and Verify Disk.
You will likely notice errors that require you to reboot to the Recovery Partition, and run Disk Utility from there, to "Repair Disk".
After running Repair Disk, reboot to the main partition, and run Repair Permissions from Disk Utility.
Then install the Recovery System Update again.
I bet your problem will be solved.
