I can't Find my Mac on my iPhone even though it's set up correctly

Friend left her laptop on a plane yesterday.  Flagged it up to me.  I have iPhone 4s and 5s and and iPad and a MacBook Pro.  I can find the phones and the iPad on each other and on the laptop.  However the laptop doesn't appear anywhere.  I read how to set up find my Mac and at no times does it give me the option of telling it to use Find my iPhone.  What am I missing here?

Check this and see if you have your music there.  Or check wherever you have you rmusic stored.
I've never heard of an iOS device update that deleted the music in iTunes.

  • ITunes 10.5 can't find any of my original files, even though they show in my library

    I was hoping you could help me with iTunes 10.5. This update has been a pain. When I first installed it, my entire library was gone. Luckily, I saved the "iTunes Library" file before updating and copied it in place and my library appeared. But now the problem I'm having is that the iTunes can't find any of the "original" files, even though my iTunes Media file location has not changed (it's on an external network drive". When I click on the "Do you want to find the original file" I can find it in the appropriate folder. I checked the "Preferences" and under "Advanced" I re-mapped it to the appropriate location and already had the 2 boxes for iTunes organizing files checked. Then went to "File" and "Organize Library" and clicked the first check box and then got the "Copying Files" bar. When this was completed, I thought it would be able to find the original files. But I'm still getting the same error message about not being able to find the "original" files. Do you have any suggestions?

  • I can't sign in to FaceTime...even though I'm entering the correct information

    We can  not access FaceTime even though we are entering the correct Apple ID and password.  We have logged in to our Apple Account to check and recheck this information and now we have wasted so much time trying to fix this.  What is going on?!

    Hi,
    You could try resetting your iPod:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430.

  • Airdrop: can't find my mac with my iphone

    Hello,
    i recently wanted to send a picture to my mac (using Yosemite and iOS 8) via airdrop but my iphone 5s could not find my mac. I did turn on bluetooth on both devices and am visible to anyone...
    funnily enough my mac can find my iphone and i can send images, files etc.
    can anyone help me?

    How old is your Mac? Pretty new it sounds like, but the older macs can't support AirDrop I know.

  • HT2729 I can't find movie rentals on my iPad, even though in iTunes it says they are on my iPad.  Not in Videos, of course.

    I rented movies from iTunes and although it says they were transferred on to my iPad, I can't find these movies anywhere!  And yes, I did look in Videos and also searched them on the search screen.

    You dont just sync rental movies to the iPad - you "Move" them in the movies tab of iTunes while the iPad is connected, iTunes is running and with the iPad selected on the left side under devices and then you sync. You must be connected to the Internet as well in order for the movies to move to the iPad.
    Therefore you can't auto sync movie rentals from iTunes to the iPad. Do you auto sync?
    I found this from another discussion.

  • Can't find/connect to my hidden network even though everything is entered correctly.

    Hi, ive been connected to a hidden network on my macbook pro for the past week and everythings been fine. I had to manually ask to join other network and enter the network name, security type and password and it worked first time...
    However, I accidentally connected to another open network yesterday and, quite frankly - its a terrible one and want to go back to the hidden network that i was connected to.
    This time, it cannot find the network even though ive entered everything in again correctly just as i did the first time. The password, Security type and Name are all exactly the same and havent been changed but yet it wont discover it...
    Any help... please

    Anyone??? I desperately need to get this working... :/

  • My iphone is lost somehow the finder uses wifi through my iphone even though i freezed it through telecomp

    I lost my iphone5
    Someone picked it up eventually
    A day later he pr she turned it on for a bit then turned it back off
    Now i freezed the phone through my telecom company
    But seeing through the telecom company app
    My lost iphone is using wifi
    I tried calling it but it is off
    What should i do

    Report it to the police. If you've freezed the phone through your telecoms company, surely you wouldn't be able to call the phone anyway?
    Use Find My iPhone to send a message through to the phone with an alternative number you can be contacted on, and hope for the best.
    My apologies this has happened,
    James

  • HT1296 How can I get my contacts from my iPhone even though I don't have it ?

    I'm trying to get my contacts from my iPhone but I don't have my iPhone with me

    It might take a bit longer, but it's risk free:
    Use your iMac to send your contacts in an email to yourself
    Open them using your iphone.
    They should arrive as vcf format and you click to open it and hey presto!
    Also works the other way round, so when I receive an email from a new contact, I register it on my iphone and click on "share contact", sending it to me which I then open on my Powerbook.
    Helpful?

  • I have forgotten my administrator password and can't find my Mac OS X Install Dvd..what can I do?

    I have forgotten my administrator password and can't find my Mac OS X Install Dvd to reset it, what can I do?

    OK, try this:
    http://osxdaily.com/2010/08/10/forgot-mac-password-how-to-reset-mac-password/
    Be very very careful if you decide to use Terminal. Even a small typing error can cause a disaster. And terminal commands must be typed exactly as shown, including spaces.
    Good luck.
    p.s. Your Apple ID and password - different from the computer log in password - are what you used to get to this discussion.

  • Where can I find the Mac address on somewhere other than my iPod touch? Like the box?

    Where can I find the Mac Address for my iPod Touch? Is it on the box somewhere? I lost my iPod a while ago, but I was told that if I had the Mac Adress, I would be able to retrace it. Help!

    You were told incorrectly.  Knowing the MAC address will not help you track your iPod.  The only way to track your iPod (and then only under limited specific conditions) is to have turned on Find My iPhone on the iPod before it was lost.

  • Can't find my mac on icloud

    can't find my mac on icloud?

    On your mac:  System Preferences>iCloud there should be a Find My Mac entry in the list of off/on apps.  Are you saying it isn't there, or that ofter turning it on, Find My Mac doesn't work when trying to track the mac on icloud.com?
    On a mac, you must be using wifi (not just connected to a router via ethernet cable) for its location to work.

  • How can I find my MAC address on macbook pro?

    I just bought a new macbook pro with the lion software and can't find my MAC address.

    Did you look under the System Preferences > Network > Airport (or Ethernet) > Advanced
    The Airport ID or Ethernet ID is your MAC address, depending on which one your using.
    You can also use the Terminal

  • Where can I find the MAC Address of a Airport Extreme ?

    Where can I find the MAC Address of a Airport Extreme ?
    I need this to extend the wi fi range in my home. I'm using a Motorola Cable modem and to extend with Airport Extreme, I need to set up inside Motorola the MAC Address of the Airport Extreme.
    Message was edited by: JPA3003

    There are actually 3 MAC Addresses on an AirPort Extreme......1 for Ethernet, 1 for 2.4 GHz wireless and 1 for 5 GHz wireless.
    You can normally see them by using AirPort Utility. The rub here is that the AirPort needs to be setup and working to be accessed by AirPort Utility.
    The other approach is to look on the bottom of the AirPort. The newer AirPorts usually have this information in very small print, so a magnifying glass will probably be required. Other versions embed the numbers in the foam mat.
    Note.....Apple uses proprietary settings for the their wireless "extend" feature.....designed to only allow other Apple devices to connect. So, it is extremely unlikely that the AirPort would be compatible with a 3rd party router if you are trying to use the AirPort to wirelessly extend the network.
    Let us know if you are able to do this.

    How can I find my Mac Adress for the Ethernet Port from a Apple Airport Express Device ?

    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
