If you're connecting the Pi directly to a laptop are you using a crossover ethernet cable to make sure each device can talk to the other without an intermediate hub/router? Unfortunately a direct connection with a normal ethernet cable won't work, but you could plug both devices into a hub/router and it should work.
I have similar issue - PiFinder (Mac) can not find Pi via WiFi. If Pi is plugged in to Ethernet - it is found - with 2 IP's - WiFi and Hardline. At that point, I can unplug the hard line and WiFi will work. I am heading to a convention with WiFi only. How can I ensure I can connect via WiFi?
yah its only ethernet at this time - it detects the MAC address!
Strange that it works on WiFi after it finds the unit. Shoot.
@craigreilly you can probably just use the terminal to find your pi since mdns/bonjour is enabled by default in the latest version of raspbian.
give this a shot:
ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
thanks. what would happen if multiple units are connected to the network? i only have 1 right now for testing.
@craigreilly you would need to give each pi a unique hostname. i'd recommend posting your question over at the adafruit forums if you need help getting that going.
appreciate all the help. thank you.

After downloading PiFinder to my iMac(Yosemite) I was able to connect to my RaspPi Model A the first time by WiFi (even without first connecting by ethernet. However, bootstrap via CLI failed to work.)
Upon attempting to connect to a RaspPi 2, running the latest Raspian (NOOBS v_1_4_1), failed with both Pi-Finder and Bootstrap. I have the RP2 connected to the Mac via direct Ethernet cable (have tried 3 so far). The RP network connection icon shows: "eth0: Configured 169.254.157.27/16." However Pi-Finder says "Your Pi could not be found".
Shut down RP2 and booted RP-A and launched Pi-Finder. Both terminal and bootstrap work with my WiFi network (Apple Airport Extreme). Bootstrap via CLI still failed to find RP. Nothing happens after "Username is 'Pi' "
Am I missing something with the Ethernet connection setup, or does Pi-Finder not work with RP2?
