How to find my iphone from macbook

At this point, you should see a map that you can view in Standard, Satellite, or Hybrid mode by clicking the options in the bottom right corner of the browser window. The green dots on the map represent Apple devices located by ‌Find My‌ ‌iPhone‌ that are powered on and signed into your ‌iCloud‌ account via a Wi-Fi or cellular network.

Click on the dots to center the map on a particular device, then click the information (circled 'i') icon to bring up the device's options panel. Alternately, click All Devices at the top of the map to choose a device from the dropdown list.

The options available to you in the device panel on the right depend on the type of device you're trying to locate, but you should always have the option to play a sound to locate a nearby device. If it's a Mac, you'll also have the option to lock the machine or erase it, and if it's an iOS device or Apple Watch, you can put it into Lost Mode or erase it.

If the selected device is out of network coverage or powered off, you will see its last known location and a box that you can tick to be notified when the device is found. The options you choose will be performed the next time the device comes back online.

If the device hasn't been in use at all recently, you'll see a screen with the same options, along with the option to remove it from your account.

If your iPhone has been lost or stolen, your first move is usually to check Apple's Find My iPhone feature. 

But did you know you can also do this for other Apple devices, including your Mac?

By syncing your Mac computer with your iCloud account and enabling Find My Mac on your computer, you can locate your Mac in just a few easy steps.
