There can be several reasons why no location can be found. To do any of these, you will need to fix this problem first. Or, your device may have been stolen, and you want to erase it. For example, you may have lost your device, and you want to locate it. Sometimes, it may be crucial to be able to find your device. You might try looking for any specific ports the location services on Mac use, or see if there is anything your ISP/network is blocking.You can access Find My by using the Find My app on your device or by signing in to /find using a web browser. And since the issue seems to be with the ISP (work network well locked down in my case), it seems there may not be anything the poster can do to turn it on. Even though my wifi is broadcast through my mac's ethernet to my iPad, the reason the iPad gets location is because it has a second source of location, the actual GPS chip (like the iPhone from the poster). I think this might be an issue with the provider of the network myself and the user is on. I shouldn't have to only be on wifi as most ethernet connections also have logged locations, either provided by the ISP or whatever. I noticed that once I turn off wifi internet sharing or unplug my ethernet and the Mac connects to the local wifi, I all of a sudden have a location. At my office, which is where the Mac rests most of the time, I have access to both wifi and LAN, but I prefer to send wifi to my iPad through my mac and the ethernet for a more consistent connection, so I regularly use ethernet instead of wifi on the Mac itself, obviously. Similar to the original poster, even my location in 'date and time preferences' was not working with all settings set properly. I have been trying to get Calendar to show my location and it wasn't working, so I tried to find out why. I wanted to add to this discussion what I found today on my own Mac.
