Find my Mac won't locate my iMac.

Do you have installed the recovery partition update that came alongside 10.7.2 ?

Is the Mac behind a firewall or is the OS X fireall configured to run in "stealth" mode ?

Hi,

I had this problem too.

What I did was to briefly switch wifi off (then back on) whilst the ''Find my ...'' window was open. Then refresh the 'Find my...' and it appeared.

You can also try to send a message to yr macbook from the 'Find my..' window (it plays a sound etc). This also establishes the connection, it seems, and allows the Macbook to 'register'.

Good luck

Same for me as well.

iCloud is set up

Find My Mac is enabled on my Mac

I am connected to a WiFi network

And Mac is on

All other devices, i.e., iPhone & iPad, work fine.

I am having the same issue with an older MacBook Pro. I.e I can't see the device listed at all in Find my iPhone. However I can find a newer MacBook pro and other devices. I wonder if older MacBooks are not supported with find my Mac? In the same manner that AirDrop won't work on older macs.

I had the same problem but it seems that if you turn on WiFi (I use ethernet with my iMac), go back to the FindMyiPhone page on iCloud and reload, it works. At least it did for me! So the device has to be online via wifi.

Im having the same issue, I hope someone has an answer for us. Please let me know if you stumble upon one I promise I will do the same.

Same problem here.

I've tried resetting the Mac Pro (many times), and checked all firewall setting, also enabled wi-fi and disconnected the ethernet.

Interesting that a friends Mac Pro works with the ethernet.......

I'm on the latest Mac Pro, so I don't think it's age related.

I can ping the Mac with a message, and play the alarm sound, but just no location.

This is what I get;

Sent an email to my Imac and find my mac found my mac!

same thing. I have an older MBP and it doesn't show up in my list.

My old Mac Pro does, and it doesn't have a WiFi card in it.

my older Mac Pro shows up in the list and it doesn't have WiFi at all so, i'm not so sure it requires WiFi other than to maybe actualy find your location? it should still show in the list without a location with just Ethernet?

Hello everyone,

I'm having the same issues. Find My [] displays my iPhone 4S and my MacBook Pro, but it will only display the location for the iPhone. For the MacBook Pro it just says: "No Location."

• iCloud is set up
• Find My Mac is enabled on my Mac
• I am in a place where google maps are provided
• I am connected to a WiFi network
• And Mac is on

All my software is up to do, and I tried the switching Wi-Fi on/off with no luck.

Please help!

Thanks,

D.

I know this may sound stupid but what I did was just disable firewall in Security & Privacy, I had the same problem before. But this fixed it for me!

I tried all that, and it didn't make any difference.

Oddly, the location of my iPhone is getting tempramental now. The iPad is the only device that seems to work reliably.
