Original Title: Mac air not found it
After a couple of days, the location of your device is no longer shown in Find My.
Your Mac has to be connected to a network again, to be able to transmit the location.
If your Mac is lost or stolen - Apple Support
Use Find My to locate your lost Apple device or AirTag - Apple Support
Note that MacBook Airs do not have GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver chips or anything similar.
Whatever location you might see will be inferred from other things (like a crowd-sourced database of locations of Wi-Fi hotspots), and so may be rather imprecise.
Ok thanx but i this device the batteri is dead that means that it will only work when is switched to the electrical. Is not charged. And is not logged in. When you turn on it again. You have to logg in again.
I dont know how to explain.
The device is lost nobody knows where is it. The owner has iphone to track the device that is missing.
When we realise that it was gone later some hours after we logg in to icloud and we saw the name macbook air but not connected or not Turn On!
And a message the device is wajting to get connected to wifi only then you will see it on the map and location.
One theori is that someone is using the device without internet or is it somewhere like dead.
Anyway we choiced alternativ "message me" when found it.
And erase all data as well when is connected to wifi. But you will also be able to locate the device.
My english not so good and i hope you understand my consern.
Thank you so much for help.
You're welcome, sorry that we could not give you better news.
Good Luck!
Unable to find my MacBook Air
