Disable a VPN:

Using a VPN? If so, disable it. Security Software just gets in the way in an Apple device, and this is a pure example of how and why. So, evade from using them, unless required for school or work.

New iCloud Login Session:

Log out of iCloud and then log back in. Perhaps it all needs to resync? You’d go into System Settings > Name > Sign Out

Still no success?

"Mac mini m4 no location can be provided only at my home: I had it set up and added, I use the last step that I use the find my app and it asked me to allow the access. as soon as I take it home I will check and let you know. thank you hope it works out. but I do not understand why to work somewhere else but not at my house."

Find MY Not Working:

The location is all based on an IP Address. So, are you using internal LAN services? If so, you are not getting out of the network, and are therefore not being seen in Find My.

Q1. ”I checked from my iPhone in the past days the location of the Mac mini and it was showing it correctly at my house. Now I launched the app for first time from Mac mini and asked for permission I do not know how will that affect and if it will fix it. Is it possible to be seen on Find My and not seen on Weather or Maps?”

A1. Find My is its own app, and seeing the weather is a not a feature of it. As for getting the permission prompt, once you accept that, all would be seen. So, accept what pops up about seeing your location, and you should be fine from here.

Q2. “Sorry but I did not understand your statement ‘The location is all based on an IP Address. So, are you using internal LAN services? If so, you are not getting out of the network, and are therefore not being seen in Find My.”

A2. As a user of a network, you are assigned something (called an IP Address) that assigns you a user of a network. An internal LAN (Local Area Network) is where you are saying a network when you can access data within the network, for things such as sharing data. Internal LANs do not have IP Addresses that are assigned by the server so that it can be seen abroad in the Internet.

Is WiFi enabled and connected?

“hello now find my is also not working for Mac mini”
