    For those of us who plan to keep our MobileMe accounts, is find my phone still accessed via the MobileMe login or the apple id?

    I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.2.1 great, and it can assign text tones to certain people, but when i go to select the tones, they are the same ones they have always been... Where are the '17 new tones' they talked about?



    go to Contact and you will be able to customize the text alert...just select a contact and click edit

    I'm not sure whether I'm having any problems. I don't see the orientation lock when I double-click on home button, as below.

    So, i know i can do that, but where are the



    "Know who?s texting without looking at your screen. Choose from 17 new alerts and assign custom tones for people in your contact list." from the bottom of http://www.apple.com/ios/



    I can assign the same 6 boring old overused sounds, but where are the new ones?



    Does anybody else have these new tones?

    Go to a contact, hit edit, scroll to text tones and tap. You get 17 new tones plus the originals. Going to be a bit weird if you're not seeing that.

    Double-tap Home. Swipe left. It's completely idiotic.

    Tried Find my Phone. Uploaeded app.

    Fine.

    Tried to enter my Apple ID.

    Message : This device is not qualifed for free Mobile Me Account.

    Meanwhile, the How To from Aplle says : If you already have an Apple ID,

    you don't have to create a Mobile Me ID.

    I love Apple when they begin to Mi?oft themselves.

    Heeeeelp !

    I finally found it, thanks. The method is fine as far as I'm concerned, once you know where to look.

    You don't get me. The iTunes update makes the hack unnecessary, as iTunes includes the AirPrint update that was taken out of the IS X update. The hack is only needed if you update OS X and don't update iTunes.

    Really? How so? Can you print to the printer of your choice connected to your Mac or just the HP ePrint. Does iTunes have to be running? Please elaborate.

    Got it at last, - it took some 5 hours to download on my 50mbit connection. Good server speed there Apple, well done.



    First impressions are, they've broken my TV shows. Now they all sort under one directory, with episodes of multiple shows all in a folder from an entirely different show. It used to work, now it doesn't. Does anyone even test this stuff before it's released? It's just a joke.



    And wasn't this supposed to enable access to iTunes shared libraries? (so I could stream from iTunes to my iPhone/iPad, rather than have to sync all the time) All I can see is the ability to send video to my Airport Express, which would really be such a useful thing to do... No option too I note to send it to my Apple TV, but then I guess that's because I the original model which Apple no longer supports.

    Hunh? I tried that and it didn't work. I don't see a home button unless you mean the main button that on the device.

    See my edit...

    That's it. The home button is the physical button in the middle of the bezel above the connector. Click it twice and the multitasking tray comes up. Swipe the tray to the left for more controls.
