Is Find my Phone an app or what? I definitely want it for my phone and ipad. :) Updated both this morning at around 7:30 without a hitch.

Never mind, found it. :) Installing on ipad and iphone 4.

Yes it's an app, and then use that to create a free mobileme account. There were instructions on the Apple site - I think I got there by going to www.me.com first and followed my nose.

That was easy. I like how the message, lock and wipe still work with location turned off. Also like the new message tones. They seem louder too, which is good.

So if you have an Apple TV 2 prepare to be underwhelmed by IOS 4.2.1

Music streams to it via airplay fine. Nice.

Phots stream to it via airplay fine. Nice.

Video, taken on the iphone? Nah. How rubbish is that. And yet video from youtube app etc DOES stream to the Apple Tv via airplay.

And Apple say "Stream your media to your Apple TV"

Updated.. All ok. Find my phone works well too! I still have an issue with iTunes reporting my videos as photos though.

Well upgrading to 4.2 on my 3Gs, it wiped out all my telecom network settings, the WiFi settings were still in there though..
It didn't wipe all of them out when I upgraded to 4.1 though.

Apart from that it went in without a hitch..

I downloaded for both my iPad and iPhone 4. I love folders on my iPad. I've had it since buying my iPhone and love that it's now on my iPad. Both wen without a hitch and were relatively fast, compared to when I had 3G. Find my phone is great. I've put that on both. My Dad is pretty excited about the iPad update too.

Can you change the mail alert tone with the new update as its really quiet for me.

Are the new tones louder?

I can stream my video taken with my iPhone fine no problem.

Update: Maybe you have the videos in the photo section as below. Make sure you synch videos to the movie section in iTunes.

I think you may have the option ticked to include videos in the photo synch section. Untick this and synch movies and select the movies folder to synch?
