Clicking on the Recovery icon brings you to the OS X Utilities screen shown here. • Alternatively; holding down the Command-R keys after turning on the Mac and letting go when you see the Apple logo, and within a few seconds, the OS X Utilities screen appears. • However; In OS X Yosemite, things have changed slightly, now when holding down the Option key after turning on the Mac as mentioned earlier,the Recovery HD icon is no longer visible. • Therefore; in order to access the OS X Utilities options, found on the Recovery HD partition, like before, hold down the Command-R keys after turning on the Mac as mentioned earlier. • However, if a Recovery HD partition was not created after installing OS X Yosemite and after pressing the Command-R keys, you will see the following screen shot, indicating that an Internet Recovery is Starting. Basically an automatic connection is made to Apple servers, where the necessary OS X Utilities needed, gets downloaded to your hard drive and which could take a quite a while to complete. • Therefore; before pressing the Command-R keys after starting the Mac, it’s best to check that a Recovery HD partition was created after installing OS X Yosemite. To do so, simply launch Terminal and type the following one line command code: • diskutil list • As shown, a Recovery HD partition was created after the installation of Yosemite, as listed and shown here. • However; if a Recovery HD partition was not created, you’ll see the following screen shot. • If that’s the case, simply reinstall OS X Yosemite again. Upon reboot, re-issue the diskutil list command again in Terminal to verify that a Recovery HD partition has been created. • And that’s all there is to it. • Thanks for watching and thumbs-up if you liked this video, and please, don't forget to subscribe to be notified of the next episode.
