Locate a device in Find My on Mac
In Find My, you can see the location of a missing device, and play a sound on it to help you find it.
Important: To be able to locate a missing device, you must add it in Find My before it’s lost.
See the location of a device
In the Find My app
on your Mac, click Devices.
In the Devices list, select the device you want to locate.
If the device can be located: It appears on the map so you can see where it is.
If the device can’t be located: Below the device’s name, “No location found” appears. If you want to be notified when the location is available, click the Info button
on the map, then select Notify When Found. You receive a notification once it’s located.
Play a sound on a device
In the Find My app
on your Mac, click Devices.
In the Devices list, select the device you want to play a sound on, then click the Info button
on the map.
Click Play Sound. For AirPods, if they’re separated, you can click Left or Right to find them one at a time.
If the device is online: A sound starts after a short delay and gradually increases in volume, then plays for about two minutes. The device may also vibrate. For all devices except AirPods, a Find My [device] alert also appears on the device’s screen.
If the device is offline: For AirPods, you receive a notification on your devices the next time your AirPods are in range of one of your devices and the Find My app is open. For all other devices, the sound plays the next time the device connects to a Wi-Fi or cellular network.
If you find your device, you can turn off the sound before it stops automatically—just press any button or any key.
For information about using Find My with other devices, see the user guide for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch, or the AirPods Support website.
