Thanks gina,


I should have mentioned in my original post that all location services on my phone are turned on, (iphone settings, apps & iCloud included). But iCloud (online) says they're off... Also, my MacBook Air, iMac and iPhone are all sitting together on the desk and iCloud can find two out of three. All have Wifi enabled. My iPhone is turned on and has a clear strong signal.


I have turned on "Find my iPhone" and "Find my Mac" on each device and logged in each using the same iCloud id.
