Does The Recovery HD Update?

I'm new to Macs and I installed the OSX mavericks update on my 2012 Macbook pro 13 inch.  I want to get a fresh start and want to restore my computer using the recovery partition.  So does the recovery partition then reinstall mavericks on my mac or does the partition still only install mountain lion. 
Thanks in advance .

Mike_The_B0ss,
the contents of the Recovery HD partition will be upgraded whenever you upgrade (rather than update) your version of OS X. Thus, when you upgraded to Mavericks from Mountain Lion, your Recovery HD partition was also upgraded to have Mavericks content rather than Mountain Lion content.

  • What does the recovery CD contain - Satellite A100-847

    Hello guys
    I had a few questions about the recovery CD:
    1- What does the recovery CD contain? and the other CD which is called Media something?
    2- Does it have Windows in it? So I can format my PC using it? And from where can i find the product key (windows key)
    3- What if i wanted to use the CD without formatting? etc. installing the softwares?
    Sorry for asking too much but my laptop started disturbing me. Just for knowledge my Laptop is satellite A100-847

    Hello
    I will try to answer your question.
    1 Recovery media contains recovery image. Recovery image is a kind of package that contains operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities and some additional software like WinDVD or Norton antivir application. Media something is not known to me. Maybe exact description can help.
    2 Yes it has Windows OS. Yes you can format your notebook using it. You do not need product key. Just install it.
    3 I do not know what you mean. The fact is that HDD will be formatted before you start recovery installation. Be sure all your important data are saved on some external device.
    Bye

  • Can I back up the files before doing the recovery?

    Hello
    If using the recovery disk to load windows (I have Windows Vista 32-bit) is it possible to save files (pictures, etc...) before wiping out these files on the hard drive?
    I have not backed up some files and cannot access windows to do this now...am wondering if I can back up the files before doing the recovery?
    Any help would be appreciated : )

    Hello
    You can try to start Vista in Safe mode. Start your notebook and press F8. Choose option to start OS in safe mode. When Vista starts connect external HDD or USB memory stick and copy all your data there.
    I have done this three weeks ago. I was not able to start Vista properly due to blue screen.

  • HT4854 What size does the recovery partition need to be for Lion or Mt Lion?

    What size does the recovery partition need to be for Lion or Mt Lion?

    Maybe I'm approaching the problem the wrong way. My problem is that I installed a new HDD in my laptop after cloning it to a backup drive, and I wanted to install the OS after formatting the drive using Disk Utilities from my desktop machine. Since I had Lion installed from the App Store as a paid download, I thought I'd start with a freshly downloaded install of Lion, but I can't access the internet directly with my laptop since it has no OS or apps. So I'm downloading Lion to my desktop machine hoping to install it on my laptop as a Target HD. Is that possible? Does the App Store download allow choosing which drive to install on?

  • Does the latest security update to Safari effect OSX v10.6.8?

    Does the latest security update (Fix issued 25/02/14) to Safari not effect Mac OSX v10.6.8 Snow Leopard? Software update has not flagged it up in Snow leopard, so presumably it is only Lion & Mavericks that had the flaw.

  • Does the Nokia software updater version 1.4.64 sup...

    Does the Nokia software updater version 1.4.64 support N85?
    When I tried to update and the massage always appear "Unable to retrieve phone information" Does anyone having the same problem?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Got the same problem: Unable to retrieve phone information.
    I reinstalled Nsu -> did not help. Same error.
    I am using the general Profile and restarted the phone several times (plus removing battery) etc etc.
    My product code is 0572856.
    My custom version is 10.045.203.2 (29.09.08)
    According to my phone provider there is a newer software available. I got the problem that the caller-id is not always shown when the contact is saved in the phone: When i save my second number in my n85 contacts with the international dial code, i can see the contacts name when receiving SMS only, but not if i get called from that number. When i remove the international dial code i can see the contact's name when i get called but not when i receive a SMS. I have only one contact saved in my phone (no duplicates!). Tried to move it to sim memory, to either use one memory or both memories. Nothing helps. Whether the number is from the same phone provider or not does not make any difference. I cant save both formats in one contact either.
    According to my phone provider this is a known bug and can be removed by downloading the latest firmware for N85.
    But i cant download anything, dont even know if there is really a newer software to download for my above mentioned version.
    i tried to download nsu-versions in other languages, but that did not help too.
    any help/suggestions?

  • What does the recovery disk assistant store?

    hello everyone, my questions:
    1.what does the recovery disk assistant store?
    2.is it necessary to use the recovery disk assistant often or is it enough to use once.
    thanks
    Fatih.

    As it said in the link I posted:
    has same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari. This drive can be used in the event you cannot start your computer with the built-in Recovery HD, or you have replaced the hard drive with a new one that does not have Mac OS X installed.
    And here it is explained further:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    It stores some tools (Disk Utility) to repair your drive and lets you connect to the app store to re-download the OS or restore it from a Time Machine backup. That's it.
    And it will re-install or restore your system (OS), it will not touch your files. However,
    NOTE: before doing anything like that, it is wise to have a complete backup - things can happen.

  • Does the latest osx update remove the flashback malware

    Does the latest osx update remove the flashback malware?

    From Thomas A. Reed's post:
    There is malware (called Flashback) that has been actively taking advantage of Java vulnerabilities on Macs, installing as a drive-by download with no user interaction required when visiting a malicious web site.  Apple's latest Java update patches these vulnerabilities, though it's still possible for that malware to use social exploits to trick you into installing it.  You would do best to turn off Java in your web browser...  you probably won't miss it at all.

  • I am getting a service start and stop alert while doing the windows server updates.

    Hi,
    The WMI Performance Adapter (wmiApSrv) service provides performance library information from Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) providers to clients on the network. This service only runs when Performance Data Helper is activated.
    This service is installed by default and its startup type is Manual. When started in the default configuration it will log on using the Local System account.
    You can try troubleshooting the issue using Clean Boot to check if the issue is related to third-party software.

  • Why does the Flash player update push me to install McAfee Security Scan Plus?

    When Flash asks me if I want to update, it takes me to an Adobe page to update it, but there is a checkbox already checked to install McAfee Security Scan Plus. I already have an anti-virus program installed. Why does the flash update page assume that I want to install this software?

    Generally this occurs because there's a third-party plug-in that affects how the JavaScript on the page got executed.  Ghostery, AdBlock Pro and NoScript are common candidates.
    Under normal operating conditions, you should see an opt-out dialog like the one below.  While cost-recovery measure are a reality for a product that is tremendously expensive to develop and distribute free of charge, the intent is absolutely to allow you to opt out.
    If you want to avoid the download and installation experience for Flash altogether, switch to a browser that includes Flash Player as a built-in component, like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.
