Location Services disabled message on iPad with new finder app

I have downloaded the new FIND MY iPHONE app. Works great fro my phone but can not find my iPad. It keeps saying locations services disabled on both devices. I have gone into settings and turned off and on the location services and turned the unit off and on and I still get a message saying it is disabled. Any thoughts?

iPad, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I found my own answer! Go into the app, select devices, select help, and then setup and follow the directions - there is a locate iPad switch buried in the mac email account settings

On the iPad, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars;
on right side of display under Accounts, select the account name associated with your MobileMe account;
within the window that opens for that account, turn ON the switch associated with Find My iPad, then select Done.

With a WiFi-only iPad, I believe the MobileMe "Find My iPhone" feature will locate your iPad on a map only if the location (lat/long coordinates) of the WiFi router being used is registered with Skyhook (see http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/coverage.php).

Make sure you also enable "push" under "fetch new data"
