Hi Michelle
Thanks for the useful answer. Fortunately I remembered where I had put my MacBook Pro in a safe hiding place whilst I was away on holiday. It was so safe it took me a few days to find it!
The tips you have given are useful, in that there was one tick box in System Preferences not ticked:
- Select Location Services.
- Select the Enable Location Services tickbox.
- Next to System Services, click Details.
- Make sure that the tickbox next to Find My Mac is selected.
- Click Done and then return to the main System Preferences window.
- Click Apple ID, then click iCloud.
- Select the tickbox next to Find My Mac.
Perhaps this should be enabled by default on all new Macs and I-devices? Especially because a few £Million of them were stolen from a lorry in England yesterday!
Cheers
Paul
