missing "find my mac" in iCloud?

I'm having the same issue. I went through the steps to enable it, and successfully enabled Find My Mac in the preference pane, however, once I navigate to iCloud, my laptop doesn't show up in the list at all.

Running an admin account, location services on, guest account is active.

Not sure what else to do yet.

Are you connected over wifi or ethernet? It only works over wifi. Sigh.

I just wanted to add that I also can not find my C2D 15" MBP 2.16Ghz. My ipod touch, ipad and mac pro all show up no matter what device/computer I am on, but my MBP is not even listed. Seems like an issue with that specific model.

I went to Apple store again, and the genius is blaming this on iCloud again...

Completely bogus if you ask me. I tried reformatting as well, to no avail.

Me too - same MBP model.

Exact same MBP model, exact same problem. Its enabled and looks like its fine, but its not listed on the site on any computer, or in the iOS apps either.

Does anybody know if an associated device should show up regardless of if it's been located recently?

i.e. You have just enabled a device in iCloud, turn off that device, and attempt to locate it via iPhone. Would it show up in the list as a device associated with your iCloud account that has "Never Been Located" ?

Also, for what it's worth, I've made posts in the apple support community for a day or two with no real solution presented. I just sent an email to Tim Cook, since between all of our messages and one persons discussions with Apple employees blaming it on iCloud growing pains we have not been able to make any significant headway.

Perhaps I'll get a response in a few days, until then I suppose I'll keep looking for answers and trying to figure it out.

Some model (2,33ghz) same problem. My other devices (including my iMac) are showing up just fine. My MacBook is just missing in the list.

Are older models not supported?

I gave up, I think this is because older device is not supported...it is like we don't get airdrop. Anyone here know how to send this info to apple to see if they will make a update or something?

I'm going to get into contact with some people with similarly aged, but non MBP machines to see if they have it working. Personally, I find it more than a coincidence that we all appear to have the same-gen MBP and are having issues; if it was an older hardware problem, we'd be likely to see people with MacBooks, iMacs, and such that were of the same "era" and were having trouble.

I Have exactly the same problem.

2.16ghz MBP too.

Have got the same settings as my iMac, and that works fine.

Seems it's an issue with the model.

Looks like this bug has now been fixed on old MacBook Pros - Find My Mac is fully working today as of the 10.7.5 update

I had the same problem. My iMac was showing off-line while it is not, I have no problem connecting to the internet. By the way, I am conected via ethernet. Well, I tried to "play sound" on it. it happened about 7-10mins later after I'd logged into my "find my device". Then my iMac showed up as located. Just give it some time I suppose? It should work.

p.s. Now I have to find out why ny contacts are not syncing over the iCloud. I have more contacts on my iPhone than on the iCloud. Notes are syncing properly though. Maybe should wait a bit longer as well.
