Find My iPhone locates my phone in seconds, but states my MBP is offline. Any fixes?
 
this happened to me. i tried the next day and it was working fine. maybe shut down your mbp and turn it back on?
 
It is still stating that my MBP is offline, even though I am looking it up on my MBP, and I am posting this from my MBP.

I tried disabling my Firewall, restarting, signing in and out of iCloud. I tried finding it with my iPhone. Nothing. Still stating my MBP is offline.
 
I had to turn off Find My Mac in Accounts in Settings, then turn it back on. So it is finally working. I really enjoyed messing around with Remote Lock, very nicely done. I wish they had a remote Camera feature built into iCloud.




On another note, I have 2 iCloud accounts and 1 Apple ID Account. Has Apple started to allow merging of accounts yet?
