On my MacBook Air (OS 10.7.2), in the iCloud system preferences panel, I have checked Mail&Notes, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Documents & Data. When I try to check "Find My Mac" it won't let me, claiming that "Recovery System Update [is] Required." But when I was doing the 10.7.2 update, it also did the 400+ MB installation of "Lion Recovery Update". The Software update panel shows version 1.0 of that as having been installed. Following advice on another thread, I fixed permissions, downloaded this update again from the Apple KB, and installed it, and this shows up as another entry for "Lion Recovery Update" with no version number. System Update tells me all of my software is up to date. Clicking the "Update" button on the iCloud panel entry for (greyed-out) "Find My Mac" just does the same thing. What do I have to do to enable this function?

[Some of the other problems I reported in another thread can be dealt with by realizing that I now have two Apple IDs, and associating one of them with iCloud functions and the other with the store. The "Find My Mac" problem persists, though.]

Thanks for any help,

Did you just repair permissions, or did you boot into recovery mode and repair the disk as well?

I did exactly what you suggested (boot in recovery mode, repair disk, repair permissions, reboot, re-install update). No joy.
