In the iCloud section of System Preferences, I can select "Find My Mac", and it works just fine. I log in to iCloud online and find my laptop. Periodically I'll go in and check my settings only to find that "Find My Mac" has been unselected. This is the third time in as many months. If it makes any difference, Safari is selected as an app that is allowed to determine my location in the Privacy tab.
Thanks in advance.
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6)
This is still happening to me, even on a new laptop I purchased in August. Anybody else?
Any resolution to this? I have a MBA 2011 Mountain Lion and Im able to turn it back on but its deselection once and awhile
No resolution. I was beginning to think that after a year I'm still the only one!
Same issue here for three different machines.
Maybe one day someone will find a solution! For the mean time, I just keep checking mine periodically to be sure it's selected. It would be a shame if I had it stolen, only to find out I couldn't track it anymore.
Indeed.
Just updated to 10.8.5. Restarted and found "Find my Mac" deselected as before (no surprise as it was left that way under 10.8.4).
Selected "Find my Mac" as well as "Documents and Data" (the latter only because I wanted to) and restarted my MBP.
Behold... "Find my Mac" remains selected! Let's hope it remains this way after several additional restarts.
I just fixed this problem on my Mac. The keychain option in iCloud Preferences was not checked. Once I checked that box the Find my Mac box was able to be checked and it stayed checked.
"Find My Mac" won't stay selected
