Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?
I have never used that technique. I simply hold command R as the Mac Reboots which I find a lot easier.

Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?
I’ve never reinstalled an operating system in all my computing days, and don’t just want to try the keystroke command r on boot up just to see what happens, in case I get stuck and can’t get out! So, if I do this keystroke on boot up, what can I expect to see?

Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?
Andy, I just did the following before answering your question: 1) restart the mac. 2) at the log on chime sound, immediately press and hold command + R. 3) hold for a full fifteen seconds then release. 4) wait another 10 seconds and then turn on VoiceOver with command +F5. Note: these times vary. I’d stick with the initial fifteen seconds although it might be overkill. if the ten seconds still doesn’t bring up Fred, keep trying - it’ll come up talking in a bit. Fred comes up as the default recovery mode voice. end note: 6) you are presented with the recovery mode menu that has a table containing three options, reinstall OSX, get help, and Disk Utility. BTW: this is the preferred disk utility app for doing permissions repairs. After you finish with the recovery mode, simply quit with command Q and you’ll be prompted to reboot with options for which disk to boot into - default is your Mac HD. To reinstall the OS, simply select the option from the table and hit enter, then follow the yellow brick road.

Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?
Hi Phil - Thanks for this. Couple of things if that’s ok, or if anybody else wants to chime in and help: Is it worth going for a clean installation, or will the upgrade to Yosemite effectively be like a new install, giving things a tweak if needed? I was also interested in what you said about repairing permissions, is it better then to do this from within the command r screen rather than from disc utility?

Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?
I personally do it from the cmd r screen that way no files are going to be locked and in use. also the upgrade just replaces the core files which sometimes but not all the time can lead to a disastr. I do the upgrade then a time machien back up and after a few weeks do a clean install. On Oct 23, 2014, at 10:25 AM, Andy Collins a...@recreation.plus.com wrote: Hi Phil - Thanks for this.

Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?
No it is command R. To do a clean install you need to erase your hard disc from within the Disk Utility also in the recovery console. Remember the famous tricky part when you come to sign into the App Store though to be honest I have done this a few times now and it no longer seems tricky. 1. You initially appear not to be able to access the login page. 2. Press VO F2 twice to bring up the window chooser. You may have to add the FN key to VO depending on your settings. 3. Make sure you are in the sign in to app store window. 5. Press VO Command F5 to make sure your mouse is focussed on the sign in window. 6.Press Shift VO space bar to simulate a mouse click 7. You should now be able to sign in mormally to the App Store and download your OS.

Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?
I’m grateful for all this info, but I feel I have bits and pieces of how to go about it, and not everybody is saying the same thing. Think I’ll have a look on Applevis and see if there are any podcasts about installing the OS. If I wive the hard disc ahead of a clean install, won’t I lose speech rendering a clean install impossible? I want my system to run as best as possible, but don’t want to mess up what is still working okay - Andy On 23 Oct 2014, at 18:53, David Griffith daj.griff...@gmail.com wrote: No it is command R.
