MY... WON’T
>>> If a device is turned off (not
just sleeping), or out of battery,
or has no internet connection,
you won’t be able to track it, but
Find My... may still show a recent
location. A device without GPS
needs to be connected to the
internet over Wi–Fi to report its
location (Ethernet won’t do). An
incorrect system clock setting
can break location tracking, but
this shouldn’t happen if Time &
Date is set to Set Automatically.
tvOS doesn’t support Find My...
so don’t lose your Apple TV!BACK TO
MY MAC?
iCloud’s Back to My Mac remote access tool
was removed in macOS 10.14 Mojave. The
alternative, Apple Remote Desktop, costs
$79.99. Instead, try Google Chrome Remote
Desktop, installed as an extension to the
