"Find My Mac" on my Mac is not working anymore and greyed out in the system preferences. It says "Recovery partition required." However, I do have a recovery partition - at least I can start from it and see it then also in the Disk Utilities as "Base OS X" (or similar). Not that I think I will need this feature ever, but does this not mean that something is not completely ok with my system?

I did read some stuff about this but have to admit that I do not really understand how to fix it.
What is the best way to fix this?
