Oh--because I dont have the old machine that was causing problems with the recover partition (although those were also fixed), as my new machine has arrived, thus getting rid of the need to "upgrade" a recovery partition. If a new machine doesn't have the latest OS, that's a different serious probl

The recovery partition is updated when you upgrade your OS, either by downloading and installing a new release of the OS from the App Store, or by running a system update (also from the App Store since Mountain Lion). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Just a follow-up to say that I verified that the recovery system of Yosemite does in fact let you access the menu extras. My iMac’s Internet Recovery was for Lion, which definitely doesn’t support this, requiring Ethernet to perform the install accessibly. Hope this helps someone. -- You rec

FileVault login prompts are announced only on recent Macs. On older Macs you get the beeps. The reason is that the login window isn’t an OS X app but is loaded from the booter partition by the firmware directly. Once you log in the main system will come up speaking. -- You received this mes

For various reasons, most particularly the use of Internet Recovery, I suggest getting yourself an Ethernet adaptor regardless. As to your question, though, although I know the menu extras are accessible from within a fully-booted live system, I’m not sure that the same holds true for the recov

Interesting. My late 2011 unit beeps twice for username and three times for password with FileVault active, and I have the latest updates installed. Also, I'm still encountering the VoiceOver menu extras bug with the recovery partition. I assume theres not anything special I need to do in order t

I'm running 10.10.3 with all software updates installed. Here's another weird issue: I have multiple Macs with File Vault encryption. One of them self-voices when enabling VoiceOver on the lock screen, the other beeps for username and password. They are both fully updated to the latest software.

Hi. I don't have that bug. I'm able to access the Wi-Fi menu with in recovery partition just fine. I'm running the latest public beta of Yosemite 10.10.4, if that helps though. Although seeing as it's recovery partition, it should reinstall 10.10.3, and not 10.10.4 cents is not released publicly

Greetings. So one bug I remember from years back was that, if you tried to access the menu extras (like, for example, connecting to WiFi to download the operating system), VoiceOver refused to acknowledge their existence. Is this still a thing? Will I need to procure an Ethernet adapter in the e
