Sorry Adrian, I only replied to part of your email. iCloud Preferences Find My Mac is greyed out?
Go to System Preferences, go to the Security and Privacy preference pane, and click on the Privacy tab. Check to make sure that Location Services are enabled. If that doesn’t solve it, go to <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1464> and download the Lion Recovery Update package manually, and install it. Once installed, reboot your Mac and go back in to the iCloud preferences (under the Internet category in System Preferences) to see if you can enable Find My Mac now. If you can check the box, you should be right. Cheers, Ronni On 09/03/2012, at 12:23 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: > Hi Adrian, > > The 4G models include GPS.
