Apple has made available to developers who have access to the site iCloud.com, a new feature Find My Mac . It allows you to locate your lost your Mac, as well as remotely block it and delete the contents of memory.
As seen from this brief description, Find My Mac is a version of the function Find My iPhone, which allows you to perform similar operations with a smartphone Apple. The only fundamental difference is that Mac computers are not equipped with GPS, and, according to informed sources, Find My Mac to determine the location of the computer network using WiFi .
Once the service determines where the lost or stolen Mac, the computer owner can use the tool to play on the device audio signal to send him a message, lock the screen or erase all information on its hard drive. Once locked the computer using the Find My Mac user is prompted to enter a four-PIN-code to re-gain access to your Mac (see photo below). It is expected that for the general public service Find My Mac will be available this fall simultaneously with the start-up service iCloud.
Recall that in June this year, as part of Worldwide Developers Conference WWDC-2011, Apple has officially unveiled a new free service iCloud. It consists of modified versions of the main functions of the service MobileMe, but also offers the user the opportunity to re-download purchased applications, books and music. In addition, the server cloud iCloud can use to backup the necessary data. On Monday, Apple has activated the login page on the site iCloud.com, although not all users were able to go there.
