Haha, alright then, thanks. I think it might be time for a new phone though, I don't think I got anything out of this update,
.My old iPhone 3G is on 4.2.1 but has no new tones.
My new iPhone 4G has a dozen or so new tones. They are long and annoying.
I'd be very upset if any of my co-workers used any of them... way too long.
Updated, but where is my damn pixie dust??
Careful. Depending on what part of town you're in that has a whole bunch of different meanings...
I can't fathom this at all. Like, really? This isn't even an old phone. They still sell it for christ's sake.
I'm not THAT upset about not having the long and annoying tones or printing capability (Ok, so I kinda wanted the printing) but is there no end to the ********? Sigh.
Ok - printing to Windows shared HP printer was working under 4.2GM not working under 4.2.1 release on either iPad or iPhone.
Just keep your phone away from me or I'm spiking it against a wall. Those tones are awful.
did they really put in a 10 second SMS tone and Apple does not trust us to make our own?
Talk about Apple showing they clearly are incapable of choosing what is best.
Setup the "Find my iPad" service on my iPad, then was able to use the same MobileMe account to find my iPhone 3GS. Not sure if I could have started this on my iPhone 3Gs, but at the very least, Apple is only requiring you to have one current generation device, and still allowing you to find them all.
So I successfully updated both my iPhone 4 and my Apple TV. I tested out airplay with 4.2 on my iPhone 4 and with iTunes. Can airplay video from both. But there are some odd omissions/bugs:
1. When airplaying video from iphone 4: All videos in the iPod App, videos section, can be airplayed with no problem. However, for videos in the "photos" app (ie: videos you've recently taken with your iPhone camera), there is simply no airplay button. The still photos have an airplay button, and can be airplayed to your ATV with no problem. But the videos cannot. This is odd and disappointing for me, because this was the feature I was most excited about: Taking a video of my 7-month-old son with my iPhone 4 at one point during the day, then airplaying it to the ATV to show my wife and others later in the day, without having to bother to synch my iphone to my computer, put the video into iTunes, and navigate to it on the ATV.
2. iPhoto videos: The recent iTunes and ATV2 updates supposedly enable you to see the videos that are in your mac's iphoto library when you go to the photos section of your homeshared computer on the ATV2. Well, the videos are now visible amongst your photos in the appropriate events on the ATV2 (whereas they weren't before), but when I try to play the video on the ATV2 it starts to buffer, starts to play, and then immediately stops and I get a "there was en error loading this content". In a couple cases it made the apple tv reboot. I guess there is a bug either in iPhoto, iTunes, or the latest ATV2 update. The functionality is clearly built in now, but it doesn't work.
