Before your Mac, devices, or items go missing, make sure you set up Find My Mac in iCloud settings. You can locate and protect your Mac, devices, or items using the Find My app on another Mac, iPhone, or iPad, and on iCloud.com.
For more information about the Find My app on a Mac, see the Find My User Guide.
