Find My Mac turned on, but not showing on iCloud.com

I just updated to 10.7.2, without noticing any issues during the install process, and turned on Find My Mac. As an iOS developer I've had an iCloud account setup for quite some time now...

When I go to Find My iPhone on iCloud.com I see all of my iOS devices listed as always, but for the life of me I can't get my MacBook Pro to show up in the list.

I've tried fixing disk permissions and have also verified the disk. I have even tried booting into the recovery partition to repair the disk and everything was ok.

I also noticed that the MobileMe preference pane is still available oddly enough. I don't think it's supposed to be right?

Am I missing something here? Has anyone else run into this? I'm about ready to try re-installing Lion but I'd really like to avoid it if possible.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

Here's the solution, Log in to you iCloud from the "System Preferences" on your Mac or MacBook(pro and etc.) Then check again if thats listed or no.

This will work. Don't forget to come back and Mark ad HELPFUL 🙂

Good Day

Apologies if someone has already offered this solution. This is what worked for me:

On your Mac, open System Preferences.

Under Internet & Wireless, click iCloud.

[Ensure that your iCloud is setup...]

Scroll down to the bottom. Most likely you'll find the box next to Find My Mac is already checked.

Simply uncheck the box, wait a few seconds, then recheck the box.

When prompted, select "Allow" to allow your Mac to be located.

I was having the same issue.

This fix worked for me...

Nick, your fix was shockingly simple and worked for me. Thanks for submitting it! I feel embarrassed I didn't try it sooner.

When I first tried to enable this feature after clicking on iCloud in System Preferences, the box for Find My Mac was unchecked and grayed out. (I already had Find My iPhone set up and enabled on my iPhone.) After clicking Continue, I was then able to check the box for Find My Mac that was in the list of iCloud items. But my mac still wouldn't appear in the devices list on my iPhone, even after logging out and logging back in, until I tried your solution.

i having problem :

location servics enables (nothing in list)(no app in list which accesses location),

icloud "find my mac" enabled,

and WHEN I TRY TO FIND MY MACBOOK ON icloud or "find my iphone app" on iphone.

it says:

"ONLINE,LOCATION UNAVAILABLE"

and one more thing, when i set "time & date" to "set automactic according to my location"

then the result is "unable to determine location at this time."

CAN ANYONE TELL, HOW TO MAKE LOCATIONS ACCESSED? IS IT WIFI SETTINGS? OR IS IT OTHER SETTINGS BEYOND MAC .???
