and when I click on 'update...' it reads that everything is up to date, so why isn't 'Find my Mac' activated?
Would appreciate any input. (Apologies if I've repeated a question that's been answered, but please forward me any leads).
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.1)
Then you have not associated it with a iCloud/iTunes account in order for it to function. Most likely your location settings are turned off and you haven't signed into iCloud using that Mac. Are you the system admin because often times certain items are greyed out due to parental controls (just saying 😝)
Hope this helps a little!
Thanks again, and can you tell me where I can turn on the option for location setting?
(Though I don't really see how this changes matters, since I am connected to iCloud with portable devices
and iCloud seems to work with iTunes fine).
Yes, I think I'm the system admin since I have assigned no other log in user names. Or do I have to change a setting for this as well?
(Sorry if I sound like a little neophite at this).
Go to System Preferences>Security and Privacy>PRivacy tab. You should see 3 options: location services. contacts and diagnostic usage, click on any of those preferebly the location services and see if the check box "enable location services" is checked. If you are the admin then I don't see why the option would be greyed out other than something else disabled iCloud.
Again, hope this helps!
What do you mean by it's not activated? in System Preferences>icloud, is it turned on?
I mean there is no way to turn it on, since it appears in grey.
Find my Mac is greyed / grayed
