We’re happy to help you but you're going to have to write a better question and give us something to work with.


Please try again after you have taken a look at this article:

Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question - Apple Community


If you are able, please tell us which Mac, model and year you’re having trouble with, and what macOS version you’re running. You can find that info by clicking the  (Apple) menu at the top of your screen and then select About This Mac.

(Note- for privacy and security please don’t post your serial number.)

Locating Lost Devices:


Tactics to Try:



I. Use Find My: Use the Find My App to Locate a Missing Device or Item - Apple Support

If Find My was enabled with these, then you may be able to find them there. Note that this is based off of the last time the device they were connected to was itself connected to the internet. This is because they do not have their own IP Address. So, use a site like Mapquest to backtrack to this location.


II. If Find My is Not an Option:

A. Backtrack your Locations:

Do it the olde fashioned way and backtrack your locations. For instance, if you were at a retail store, then stop in, asking the store manger if it was placed aside.


B. Lost-&-Found:

Chick with the Lost & Found department of the facility you were in, seeing if it has been handed over.


C. Contact Local Authorities:

See if the community police, or local security guards at the front door, can across it.


D. Use Craigslist:

Put a post on Craigslist, seeing if they have been found.


E. Contact Local Authorities:

See if authorities have come across this (security desk, or police).
