Mac "Find My"; editing location name doesn't stick. OS 12.6.6

"Find My" shows my son's current location. I click the little "i" and a panel opens, where I click "Edit Location Name". I select a new new name from the list. But next time I open this panel, the location shows as "None".

MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)

iMac "Find My" location is ON as seen on Desktop, but it's OFF as seen on "My Devices" in my Apple Account. I was looking at my devices on my Apple account and noticed that my iMac says "Find My Mac OFF". But when I checked my iMac computer settings, it has Find My Mac turned ON. How can I fix this discrepancy? I'd like to see that "Find My Mac" is ON in my account in case I ever need to use this feature. Thanks for any advice.

Unable to change my son's location name in Find My app (Mac OS Ventura 13.1) In the Find My App I click on my son's name, then I then scroll down and click edit location name. I then pick a default location name - the location where the device is, like school or home - and it does not change. What am I doing wrong?

MacBookPro has 'Find My' active, but the Device Info says NO Hello. My MacBookPro (M1), running Sequoia 15.4 (latest), is not showing up on the Devices List on Find My application, or in the iCloud. I've logged in into iCloud on the device, using the same iCloud credentials I always use with any Apple device. All other devices are listed except this one. Find My Mac is enabled in the iCloud settings: It is also enabled under Location Services: I've rebooted the device, logged out from iCloud, logged in again, rebooted again, all without success. The Device Info keeps showing Find My Mac as OFF: Any suggestion to troubleshoot this is welcome. Thank you!
