[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1799100, member: 83420"] Hi cheddar-caveman. Good to see you back again. I may be mistaken in all of this, but I've researched the Prey site and it looks to me that once Prey is installed on your Mac, you have to log in to your account online to "see" it and probably your other Devices as well. There is no mention of activating "location services" on the Mac. In other words, my reading of the situation - possibly incorrectly - is that the situation with a Mac is different from installing Prey on an iOS Device. And if I'm right (big if), this would make sense in that if one or more devices were stolen, you could access any computer anywhere, log in to your account and see where your stolen devices were. I'll do a bit more research around the location issue and come back if I find a better answer. Ian [/QUOTE]
