OK - I've had a hard day at work and maybe I'm not thinking straight but I don't think this is right...
Installed 4.2 beta on my one and only iPad... (I am such a bad boy!) 
Control Panel wont open.
Won't connect to a network any more... Did initially but not now.
I guess this is all part of the excitement of playing with betas.
Might try and reinstall it - otherwise I'll go back to 4.1 and wait for the next beta... No big deal really. (I hope).

Im assuming someone's managed to update a 3G iPad successfully? I upgraded mine to 4.2 (im a dev so have UID registered) and it was all good apart from breaking my 3G data connection.
Wifi was fine and it successfully joins Vodafone UK 3G network but would pull nothing over Vodafone UK from 3G, even after 'Reset Network Settings', Carrier update and many other tweaks. Cell data connection did not look like it was activated?
Any thoughts?
Back on 3.2.2 now for the moment and all working as normal again.

Some people on the dev forums are saying that you need to install the beta SDK to successfully update the phone. The pad can be updated without it.
Installed the 10.6.5 beta & then tried installing the iOS 4.2 beta on my iPhone 4
no dice. Got errors & had to restore my iPhone. Kinda blows. I guess I'll wait until the next beta.
Ugh
installed 10.6.5 no problem, sdk 4.2 awe thats funny, requested a restart..... kernal failure couldn't even get into single user mode. Time machine restore and back to normal. Tired of beta's (I'm a registered developer) all my hardware is the latest (it's a nice tax write off) and apples half a** sh**.

That was a subtle way of saying "wait for Apple to officially release 4.2, and install it the standard way". Don't take the risk of using beta software if you need your phone.
Case in point.
I still have plenty spaces open for testing an app for 4.2 features
Hi Graeme, do you still have any spaces spare? I'd love to give 4.2 a go

Try resetting network settings from Settings App -> General -> Reset on the iPad... then rebooting again once it finishes. Might restore your WIFI until it stops working again
got the kernel panic myself, had to restore my imac. 4.2 on ipad works perfectly, o iphone 4, all i get is error -10 and i have to restore to 4.1
cheers
I installed the new osx to my computer thats networked to the printer and installed 4.2 on my iphone 4 and ipad. Both using itunes, all works great and prints just fine. Also the printer starts printing faster than it does from my other wireless laptops, wierd. but love the feature
I want to download the iOS4.2 for my iPad!
Can someone help me out, please???
I got to download the BETA for iOS4 on the iPhone when they released it, but I can't download this. Didn't you have to be a developer for iOS4 as well? How come I can't download iOS4.2?
Hmm...help please!

Data Not working after 4.2
Hi All,
Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. After upgrading my Ipad to 4.2 this morning, I noticed that my data is not working anymore... getting "could not activate cellular data network"
I noticed that my carrier was updated to 8.0 on Rogers.. could this be the problem?
Called Rogers and they, of'course, have no clue.

Exactly same problem here, see post #183, i couldn't find a fix, had to go back to 3.2.2.
