[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1614969, member: 46727"] If you purchased the MacBook Air legally from a seller on eBay, why would you think that the seller would want to shut it down - unless you have doubts about the origination of the machine? Which if that's the case, you should not have bought it. To answer your question... Find My Mac works whether you have erased everything or not. This from Apple: [B]The devices broadcast their location if they are connected to the Internet via a mobile or Wi-Fi network. If a Mac is connected to the Internet only by an Ethernet cable, Find My Mac will not be able to locate the device, according to Apple.[/B] [/QUOTE]
