How-to: Locate Your MAC Address (Apple)

Your Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier distinct from your IP address assigned to your computer. At FIU, we register the MAC address on a device to allow access to the FIU network and internet. To find your MAC address for your Apple computer, follow the steps below.

To find your MAC address:

From the Apple menu, select System Preferences...
