Why can't I turn find my mac on?

I tried to turn on "Find my Mac" via the system preferences and I got an alert stating "Some configurations, such as software or hardware RAID, do not support a recover partitioned and cant be used with Find my Mac"
Why am I getting this message and what do I need to do to solve the problem and turn Find my Mac on?
I have 3 partitions on my hard drive, HFS for my OSX files, NTFS for bootcamp and a FAT for transferring stuff between the 2. Not sure if this is what the error message is getting at, if it is I still have no idea why?
Thanks in advance

That suggests installing Lion Recovery update, which then presents me with another error. See this disscussion https://discussions.apple.com/message/17882273#17882273.
Does anyone know if there is any other way to fix "Find my Mac" ?

  • Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

    Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

    We have cell data plan.
    I have other phones (4s) and can see "Find Phone" App under Cellular Data and can turn on/off.  But the problem phone does not have "Find IPhone" to be able toturn on/off.  I made sure app is running when i go to Cellular Data. I guess the question is why do Apps show up under Cellular Data to be able to turn on/off?  I thought if the app was made for Cellular Data it automatically showed up under Cellular Data.

    why can't Weblogic 12c find Managed Bean by annotation,which in a jar?

    Hi,
    I got the same problem with weblogic 12c.
    Somehow this guy got it working by using CDI and creating an empty beans.xml, it did not work for me.
    i found the tricky problem is that should put a empty but include the <beans> tag beans.xml file.
    http://www.coderanch.com/t/562233/JSF/java/WebLogic-Eclipse-Indigo-develop-JSF
    I also tried to skip managedbean and use CDI ( @named ) but then I get some jboss weld exceptions on the value attribute of some jsf components.
    I also saw this post
    Can't seem to get a trivial CDI example to work on Weblogic 12c
    I don't use OEPE very often so I'll need to kick this around a little when I get a chance.
    Just as an out there kind of thought, OEPE does use the split-directory model for deployment by default -- perhaps try adjusting it to use the exploded archive model instead, just as a test to see if it removes the error?
    Right click the server config and select Properties > WebLogic > Publishing > Publish as exploded archive
    It seems like the Virtual Application deployment model of OEPE doesn't support CDI.
    thanks

    Why can't PSE 9 find the file to load styles

    Use Task Manager to kill any running processes associated with PSE, then reboot. 
    Use Control Panel's Programs and Features to uninstall PSE. 
    The use Windows Explorer to delete any remaining PSE directories following these directions (change the names to version 10):

  • Why can't I  turn location services back on.

    Why can't I  turn location services back on?

    Hi Jalm14ts,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To address this issue, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

    Hi everybody. I want to turn the HDR to on in the camera , but I couldn't . I tapped on the HDR to turn it on but it doesn't. Why?
    I'm using the manual settings on my camera. The settings are : Flash off - Resolution 15.5MP(16:9) - Self-timer  off  -  Smile Shutter  off  -  Focus mode  Touch focus  -  HDR  is off and won't turn on  -  ISO  Auto   -  Metering  Center   -  Image stabilizer  off   -  Preview  3  seconds   
    Quick launch  Launch only   -   Geotagging  off   -   Touch capture  off   -  Use Volum key as  Zoom  -  Sound  on   -  Data storage  SD card  -  Touch Block  deactivated. .   These are my manual settings for the camera . Why can't I turn the HDR Mode to ON? Anybody has any idea? 
    Thanks a lot.
    Solved!

    Hi Prodigy1,
    There is a limit of 8 megapixel, because the Exmor RS lowlight capabilities are optimized around this resolution. So change the resolution to 8MP or lower and it should work.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Why can't I turn off location services?  Restrictions are disabled.  The on off slidebar is grayed out.  I'm concerned my phone is being tracked.

    While I know there are phones that can do this, they really are not powered "off" - they are more in a hybernation state.  However, the iPhone has never worked that way.  Off on an iPhone means truly powered off - nothing is still running so there is no minimal function left ticking away to wake up the phone and sound the alarm.

    For some reason, the error box photo didn't appear in my post. Here it is:

  • Why I cannot check the "find my mac" features on the iCloud? It says that "recovery system update required".. I'm using 10.7.2 now..

    Why I cannot use the "find my mac" features on the iCloud? It says that "recovery system update required".. I'm using 10.7.2 now..

    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.

    Do you have the settings in iTunes correct to sync the Calendar?
    Perhaps you could try using iCloud to coordinate your calendars rather than syncing with iTunes.
