You got that working? It's been hours since I verified the account and my iPad still says it is not verified.
Ok - printing to Windows shared HP printer was working under 4.2GM not working under 4.2.1 release on either iPad or iPhone.
At least read the change log before you complain. AirPrint only works with ePrint compatible printers...no just any shared printers.

Do you have an ePrint printer and did you find something to print?
You can in fact only airplay video from the iPod app, in no other app does it work. In other apps the only possibility is to airplay the sound over to the ATV. That seriously sucks and I hope that will be fixed with updates to those apps. Hopefully they also update Safari to allow it to Airplay video for live streams. Right now Airplay is a massive disappointment.
agreed, it just makes things a little more simple - just support all iOS4.2 devices unless there's a technical reason why they can't. Hopefully they'll change their minds.
P.
You can AirPlay from the YouTube app also. But your point is well taken. This is technology that's yet to be fully realized. As other developers update their apps to take advantage of AirPlay, I think it will be incredible.
For now, it's nice to be able to AirPlay Pandora. That's something.
You have a new list of longer tones ("New") and the "Old" list of shorter tones.
(On iPhone 4G's at least).
Agreed Youtube and Pandora is nice. But I really hope it'll work with Zumocast (that's the big one for me).
Also, to the guy asking about Airplay for Mac OS X, not unless the Airfoil team does something neat. The next closest thing is Zumocast/Drive.
AirPrint Still Works On Shared Printers...
Using MacOS 10.6.5 and iOS 4.2.1, I can still print to my shared Brother laser MFC. You just need to add the three CUPS files from the 10.6.5 betas (542 works).

Just updated my iPod Touch 4g, and the free "Find My iPod" is a nice bonus. Though a bit scary to see me via internet sitting here on my couch
It seems a savvy finder could simply turn off Location Services to defeat this feature (?)
You can activate "General -> Restrictions" and restrict "Accounts"..... This means you need to unrestrict to make changes to your accounts, but how often do you do that?
Truth be told, a good thief will shut the device off and wipe it as soon as possible. The service is really only good for three things:
1) You lost your phone and you want to find it before a thief does who will shut it off.
2) You lost your phone and you want to keep a snooping finder out with remote lock or remote wipe (thief or not).
3) You want to track your kids with the "Accounts" settings restricted.
Its not going to stop somebody who only cares about stealing your device, wiping it and reselling it.
Thanks for the tip, I've put that on now and that really does solve my concern - although I'd like to see Apple put something in place themselves.
Good points. I'm grateful that Apple's provided this; I can see it could be very handy even in limited circumstances.
As an aside, aren't there hardware signatures that could still identify a device location even after it's been "wiped"?
I'd always thought the "Find my Device" feature was deeper-rooted than allowing software disabling
Find My iPhone not working?
I have a paid MobileMe family plan, and find my iPhone always worked on our phones, which consist of a 3G, 3GS, and three 4's. Now, the only response I get is, "No Location Available."
Hmmm, I can't seem to log into the MM website, either.

The Print function is under the "share" arrow at the bottom of Safari, and in Email, for starters.

I really like all my Apple products, but crap like restricting the free Find my Phone and the new SMS tones to only iPhone 4 hardware is really starting to piss me off.

Find my iPhone IS available for the 3G and 3GS. Just find a friend with a 4, or go to an Apple store and borrow a phone for 5 min to set it up. If you lose the phone, you won't be using the app on the phone, only on your computer.

Do you have the 1.1 Find my iPhone? Released today? You need it.

Don't worry it's not like they changed any hardware settings or anything. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to call Apple's Customer Support. My iPad's orientation switch stopped working after I updated. Strange.
Clarifying ring tone issue in IOS 4.2.1
Apple's page devoted to explaining the features of IOS 4.2 states:
Messaging with text tones
Know whos texting without looking at your screen. Choose from 17 new alerts and assign custom tones for people in your contact list.
Having upgraded the IOS for my 3GS, i don't find any of those options.
It might help, from a PR point of view, for Apple to make it clear at the outset that certain features of this new OS apply only to the iPhone 4 -- rather than have so many of us find out the hard way and feel confused about the matter.
My basic question is this: is there any technical reason why the 3G or 3GS can not have additional text tones?

You've not quoted the REALLY important part:
"Messaging with text tones

iPhone only."
Note that it doesn't say "iPhone 4 only" - it just says iPhone. They really should correct that as it's misleading.
No.
