How do restore my Macbook Air to "Find my iphone" ?

Hello. My Macbook Air was stolen and I erased it remotely. By some miracle (and a very long story), I got the laptop back. I managed to restore the laptop and recover my data (using a back-up), but the laptop is no longer "seen" by find my iphone. How do I get it back on there?


Thanks.

Thank you. I just signed back in. It was strange though, when I entered my current Mac password, it said that is for a different Mac, that I should enter the password for the original Mac. I did that and I think it signed me in then.


So, is Find My Iphone not recognizing this Mac anymore, since it was erased?


Or maybe it doesn't happen immediately?


Sorry, as you might be able to tell, I am not especially tech literate.
