Q: iphone not showing on 10.9 maps

I expected to see my iphone under the share button. Both are signed into iCloud. Can't find any documentation.

    Check out

     

     -> About This Mac -> More Info

     

    See if a serial number shows up. If not, thats the reason why its not working. Contact Apple or a Certified Dealer, and they can fix this in no time.

    This totally works. Both of my devices were signed into the same apple id. But I had never signed out/ signed in since my upgrade to Mavs.  I found this post and tried and it immediately solved it.

     

    When you sign out of iCloud you will get a bunch of ominous "are you sure you want to do that?" messages for each iCloud category: contacts, calendar, keychain... etc.  Just say yes, keep on my mac, delete from my mac whatever your preference as it all gets reuploaded to your mac in a few minutes anyway.  What appears to be the magic in this whole process is when iCloud says, "I want to authorize this mac to access your keychain by sending an access request to the mobile devices on this account."  In seconds I got an alert from iCloud on all my devices and slid it open in notification center.  It prompted me to allow access to Keychain for my mac by entering my iCloud password on my mobile device.  The moment I hit enter apple maps populated the share list with all my ios devices.  Works great and takes 2 minutes.

    How do I direct the Mac Maps app to Share directions to a choice of iCloud accounts?  My wife and I each have iOS devices with separate (primary) iCloud accounts, but both iCloud accounts (for select apps) are on both phones.
