To locate your Apple device through your desktop computer please go to iCloud.com
Log in with your Apple ID (This should be your email address)
Click on Find My
Click on All Devices at top of the screen - This will create a drop down box – You should then click on the name of the device you lost
This will generate a popup box with an image of the device, name of device and several options - Click Lost Mode (DO NOT click erase device as this will cause the device to disappear from your list) – Be aware that if no passcode has been made on the device previously, you will now have to create one
Once this is completed you should take a screenshot that the device has been put into Lost Mode as you might need this later
