iOS 4.2 GM is up.

The icon for AirPlay has been changed in the GM, from the wifi/speaker look to something more like a video display. Hopefully, this means video over AirPlay is not far behind. My :apple:TV is useless to me at the moment!!

I emailed Magmic (who coded NYT Crosswords) last week and sent them my device logs. They said they found the bug last Monday and have an update submitted to App Store. Hopefully we'll see it soon -- it still crashes for me right after launching it.

I'm also a bit worried that now I can't actually sync with iTunes -- I did an update from beta 3 to the GM and after it rebooted now it won't sync with iTunes. It tells me I need iTunes 10.1 to be able to sync. *Great*.

Errr... never mind. Found the 10.1 beta for Mac on the iOS Dev Center so I'm good. 🙂

Netflix works again -- yippee 😉

Thanks for the crosswords update! 🙂
 
It works really well. The biggest thing that I'm glad about is the fact that iBooks works again. Didn't realize that I used it that much!
 
Can anyone help- I have a registered UDID but can't find the beta anywhere on the Apple devel site....where am I supposed to look?
 
I don't understand why everyone is crying out for UDID registration. You don't need your UDID registered for GM build, period. At least, this is how apple is doing these days with GM Build. I am not a developer and I am enjoying my iPad with 4.2 with GM build. Did I have an issue with installing? Yes, a little. But, it works perfect now. I can use just about every apps I throw at it. Hello! FOLDERS!

You need a developer account to /download/ it from the Apple site. A UDID registration just allows you to do clean restores of it once you have the ipsw.

I must have been confused when they unveiled the AppleTV-- sounded like you'd be able to stream from the iPad to the AppleTV with iOS 4.2. (Think maybe there's an AppleTV update on the way?)

There must be, because this is supposed to be the convergence of all the iOS devices, that and the ATV is supposed to get access to the App store soon innit?

Could someone please post the SHA1 for the ipsw? Would be much appreciated.

I decided to redownload the ipsw. Turns out I was right and my first download was corrupt :\

The correct SHA1 is:
SHA1(iPad1,1_4.2_8C134_Restore (1).ipsw)= edc2374ea39a029a943b345c43a8c2f2ab4bb504

Nice that Slingplayer finally works. The downside is that I'm getting pretty tired of this version dependent crap. This app (from Apple!) doesn't work because it's locked to that version of iOS which requires this version of iTunes and blah blah blah. You know, the same crap everyone made fun of Microsoft for 15 years ago. I'm not thrilled about being forced to stick that butt ugly iTunes 10 on my computer...now I'm starting to wonder if it's worth bothering to upgrade anymore, especially when you know it's just Apple manipulating you.

And this is why only developers should have access to the Betas. There is no "version dependent" problem with any app or version of iTunes.

When a beta comes out, apps wont work. This is why developers are given the betas so they can make their apps compatible before the release comes out. People all over the internet decide to download these then get angry if some app doesn't work. It won't, its not supposed to, its supposed to let the developer see how their app does or doesn't work on the new iOS version and give them time to fix it before release.

For the iPad or iPhone to support nice new features that people want, iTunes has to update too to add and or be compatible with these features. Thats why every time an iOS version comes out, iTunes updates, that way everything works together.

As for "Apple manipulating you" thats just silly. How is adding features that people want (printing, air play, multitasking) manipulating the user?
