Only after I successfully logged in and booted into Mountain Lion was I able to locate the MBP. Off course I already tried the above scenario, trying to locate my "lost" MBP (which off course has a Recovery Partition and "Find my Mac" was successfully enabled) which was located within my home Wi-Fi (but off course not connected yet, since I did not unlock the OS partition at that point), and - as expected - my MBP was not located. Why would a Recovery Partition be needed for the "Find my Mac" process? How would the MBP acquire some sort of Internet connection at this point? Then someone would find my MBP and turn it on, immediately being greeted by the "login" screen (booted from the Recovery Partition) in order to unlock the actual OS partition. I then would login with another iMac and send a "Find/locate my Mac" request. So let's assume I lost my MBP with its encrypted OS partition and it was turned off. On another note, I am still interested how "Find my Mac" actually works (conceptionally), especially if the OS partition is encrypted (or in other words: no one except me would be able to even launch the OS to the login screen as give the OS -somehow- any chance to connect to any network).

However that leads me to my next question: in case "Internet Recovery" would work on my MBP 13" 2010: would I have a choice to install Mavericks at all (I have "bought" and downloaded it in the meantime)? I will see. It's still not quite the same as a physical DVD or USB drive, but it does come in handy. internal drive failed or was formatted or something), holding down Cmd+R on boot enables the EFI recovery mode, which lets you connect to ethernet or wifi, and then automatically downloads the recovery partition from Apple's servers into memory. If for some reason that partition isn't there (ie. When you install OS X, it makes a small hidden partition that only contains some basic stuff like Disk Utility, Safari, Terminal, and an installer that redownloads the rest of OS X from the internet (so it doesn't waste GBs of space on your drive doing nothing).

It should have appeared in Software Update a while ago, but you can still manually download it from Apple's site if you need to. I didn't feel the need to "clean install", but I guess it doesn't hurt if you do.Įven though Lion came out in 2011, Apple released a firmware updates that enables OS X internet recovery for a bunch of older systems, including the 2010 MBPs. I really want to do a "clean install" this time: the MBP just feels very slughish these days, coming from Snow Leopard over Lion to Mountain Lion.Īpple's been pretty good about not keeping old cruft around when you upgrade.
So with a MacBook Pro mid 2010 13" I don't need to care about "Recovery Partition" being created or not with a "clean install", right? Because its firmware is probably not prepared (and I don't think it ever got updated by Apple, right?) for making use of the Recovery Partition anyway?

What I'm wondering is how to physically add iLife to the automatic installation as with the recovery disks of old.Īpple also shipped them with the 2010 MacBook Airs as recovery media, though I think those got Internet Recovery-enabling firmware updates later on. Otherwise, with an "official" bootable copy such as this it will absolutely be useable on any machine that can run Mavericks. Either waynthat's not an important thing for a majority of users to worry about, but I have a dozen or so different machines to load it on.
Now that the hardware isn't significantly different, it might not be the case anymore (as with your method the experience would be similar to trying, say, booting a Mac Pro from a MacBook Pro running in Target Disk Mode).īut hey, Apple might just include everything now anyway so I'm not so sure.

Even back with Leopard/Snow Leopard an install would have different drivers installed automatically depending on the hardware. I'm not 100% as this used to be the case, but you might not be able to boot your version of Mavericks with other Macs. What have I missed that this process provides?Īt the very least, this method can be used with an 8GB flash drive, where your method would undoubtedly require more space (which realistically isn't that dificult or expensive these days). Now I have a bootable USB drive which can both install ML and run diagnostics.

For Mountain Lion I just ran the installer to put a full and useable copy of ML onto a USB drive, then copied the installer and a bunch of utilities (like DiskWarrior) onto the same drive.
