How to find a missing Mac

Recently, I showed you how to enable the handy Find My Mac feature on your Apple computer. Click here to read that article.

Now I’ll show you how to track your Mac down if it goes missing. You have two options. Open up the Find My app on your iPhone or iPad and look for your missing devices.

You can locate your device on a map or choose to have it play a sound if you think your device may simply be misplaced.

You can also lock or erase your device if you think it’s fallen into the wrong hands.

If you’re using a computer, you can open the browser and go to icloud.com, Log into your Apple account.

Then choose Find iPhone. (I know you’re looking for a Mac, but this is for all Apple devices.)
