We've heard a lot of stories about Find my iPhone helping people track their lost and stolen iOS devices, but here's one of the first stories involving Photo Stream. According to this Fox 5 Dallas report, it all started late last December in Dallas, TX at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Ken McLellan had just arrived home from a business trip. While he reached to pick up his checked bags, he put down his iPad along with his carry-on bag. You probably can guess what happened next. With bags in hand, he turned to get his iPad, and it was gone. As a loyal Apple user, McLellan also has an iPhone and an iMac in addition to his purloined iPad. He's also one of 85 million people using iCloud and had, rather fortuitously, turned on Photo Stream sharing. Imagine his surprise when new photos from his iPad began to hit his iMac

If you just got a new iPhone for Christmas, there's one handy utility app that you might want to purchase right away. It's 1Password for iPhone (sale priced at US$5.99) from Agile Bits Solutions, and it was named the best iPhone utility app in reader voting in TUAW's Best of 2011 awards. The app is a favorite of the TUAW staff, and it's obvious from the voting that 1Password is used faithfully by many of our readers as well -- the app pulled in 49.7 percent of the votes, thoroughly trouncing the other nominees in this category. It actually comes in two flavors -- the iPhone-only version linked to above, and the universal 1Password Pro (currently on sale for $8.99) that synchronizes with 1Password on Mac and iPad. Apple had the runner-up in this category. Find My iPhone (free), an amazing app that has reunited many lost or stolen iPhones with

The nominations are in, and the poll is ready to go! The TUAW Best of 2011 awards are all about you -- the readers -- and what you think is the cream of the crop of Apple or third-party products and software. To vote, select one entry from the top nominations made by readers. We'll be announcing the winner in just a few days. Vote early and often! TUAW is asking for your votes for the best iPhone utility app of 2011. Since a majority of nominations were from the wrong categories, and some were even for the wrong platform, a straw poll of favorite iPhone utilities was taken with a sampling of Web luminaries and makes up our list of candidates. The nominees are Flashlight (sale priced at US$0.99, regularly $1.99), Apple's Airport Utility (free), Skyfire Web Browser ($2.99), 1Password for iPhone ($5.99), and the app that has saved a

Do you lose things? Despite being meticulous about personal hygiene and a snappy dresser, I tend to misplace things. I blame it on bad parenting, of course. But, we all lose our personal items — and as much as it pains us — our gadgets are often the victims. Smartphones, especially iPhones, have been known to surreptitiously slip out of pockets at inappropriate times. Unfortunately, unlike our vehicles, most gadgets do not have panic buttons, or remote key access — although there are some tracking apps that get close. In fact, there are umpteen ways to find lost iPhones, or track your stolen hardware. Apple’s Find My iPhone has traditionally been the best way to safeguard against permanently losing an iPhone, running in the background (once set up) until you need to locate it. (And for Samsung/Android users, there’s always stuff like this.) But, of course, we have other personal items

Posted 12/02/2011 at 8:27am | by Adam Berenstain As important as it is to back up your data, software is only half the story when it comes to digital disasters. Hardware can go bad, or even get stolen, and there’s no way to keep a backup of a shiny new MacBook Pro. Or is there? All new or refurbished Macs, iPhones, iPods, and iPads come with 90 days of free technical support and a one-year warranty, but an AppleCare plan extends that to three years for Macs and two years for iOS devices. Plans range from $59 to $249, and the out-of-warranty cost of a single repair can make that investment worthwhile overnight. But don’t feel rushed to decide if AppleCare is right for you. Your device is eligible for the service until the end of its original warranty. Prey’s web control panel can map your Mac for free. When thieves

Tezamen met het officieel uitbrengen van en de uitrol van iCloud, heeft Apple ook enkele van zijn eigen iOS-applicaties van een update voorzien. Zo heeft de complete iWork-collectie (Pages, Numbers en Keynote) een update gekregen waarbij de nadruk op de gratis clouddienst iCloud ligt. De gratis Remote-app voor het bedienen van iTunes en Apple TV en iMovie (€3,99) voor iOS zijn beide geschikt gemaakt voor iOS 5. Zoek mijn iPhone (gratis) heeft voortaan ondersteuning om een Mac te traceren, een van de functies van iCloud. In Pages, Numbers en Keynote is het nu mogelijk om documenten die je op je iOS-apparaat aanmaakt automatisch in iCloud te laten bewaren om deze vervolgens te synchroniseren met andere iOS-apparaten of via icloud.com/iwork te downloaden als bestand geschikt voor iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote ’09), Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) of gewoon als PDF.

Along with major OS updates for both OS X Lion and iOS, Apple released a veritable boatload of software today in the form of new apps and updates to old favorites. Here’s a quick look at what’s new, what’s changed, and what we think about what’s new and changed. Apple put it front and center at its “Let’s talk iPhone” event at the beginning of October, and now the Cards app is officially here and open for all to use. As we covered in detail in a previous post, Cards lets you create and send custom letterpress cards to friends and loved ones, with a fee of $2.99 each in the U.S., or $4.99 worldwide. The app looks good and works well, and once our first greeting arrives, we’ll let you know how it turns out. Not content to just provide the location of all your own devices on a map,

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, an Australian family has recently gone through not one, but two adventures related to stolen iPhones. While on holiday at a Hilton in Fiji, the family's mother, Fiona Donohoe, had her iPhone ripped off by a hotel concierge. In a move worthy of a featured spot on Dumb Criminals, the theft was discovered and the iPhone recovered after the concierge accidentally synced all of his/her own contacts with Donohoe's MobileMe account. After that it was presumably simple to track down the thief, who has been fired from the Fiji Hilton and jailed for six months. Only two weeks later, 13-year-old Tahira Donohoe had her iPhone stolen while at school. She and her father used the Find My iPhone app on his iPad to track the thief's progress along a bus route for a while before deciding to give up the chase and let the police

We've seen many stories of iOS owners using Find My iPhone to retrieve a lost or stolen device. But this may be the first time, the technology was used to help find a missing airplane. Last week, a military airplane disappeared off Chile's Pacific coast and all 21 people aboard were killed instantly in the crash. Four bodies were recovered soon after the accident, but the exact location of the crash site remains unknown. As part of its recovery effort, the government has turned to technology to help locate the wreckage and remaining victims. Besides sonar equipment, Chilean officials are also using GPS co-ordinates provided to them by a relative of one of the victims. The victim had an iPhone that reported its GPS location to Apple's Find My iPhone service. The phone presumably remained on up until it hit the water. This last location may help the government retrieve the

Posted 08/11/2011 at 1:21pm | by Nik Rawlinson and Susie Ochs Believe J.J. Cale, because he knows what he’s talking about: traveling light is the only way to fly. The next time you’re tempted to overpack, remember to take half as many clothes, twice as much money, and your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. An iOS device can replace paper maps, books, and travel guides; and the information you’ll find in apps and iBooks is more timely and relevant anyway. Obviously you won’t need CDs or a portable DVD player -- or pricey hotel or in-flight pay-per-view -- to stay entertained. And by posting photos or blog updates about your vacation online, you won’t even have to send postcards. To prepare you and your electronic travel buddy to hit the road, we found the best apps, gear, and know-how to keep you connected. Travel can be tough on your iPad or

So you’ve got your new iPhone, you’ve activated it with iTunes and now you’re keen to get started – but modern smartphone ownership is all about the apps, and without them there isn’t all that much to do. But with the App Store brimming with more than 400,000 apps to download, how does a new user know where to start? This is where you need our iPhone Starter Kit! Here are ten applications you should download to get the most out of your new device. They’re going to cost a total of $13.93/£9.73 (excluding the GPS apps), but we consider them to be standout examples of their genre, and worth every penny. Even though we’ve not included the usual social networking apps such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Foursquare, they’re all available too. There’s a reason Camera+ usually turns up on must-have iPhone apps lists, it’s really good! Aside from adding

Ben Patterson and his wife learned a hard lesson on using Find My iPhone after traveling to Manhattan's East Village to visit a friend. After a lovely evening, they hopped from one cab to another as they traveled back to Brooklyn. His wife froze with fear when she realized her iPhone was missing. All her contacts, emails, photos and more were likely in the backseat of another cab and possibly in the hands of a stranger. The couple fired up the Find My iPhone app on Patterson's iPhone 4 and was disappointed to discover his wife's phone was not being tracked. There was no way to find it, lock it or wipe it. Patterson remembered setting up the tracking service, but he never double-checked to make sure it was working. Now that the iPhone was gone, it was too late. The pair followed the standard protocol for handling a lost phone.

In light of the recent arrest of a TSA agent at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airport who is said to have stuffed a passenger’s iPad down his pants, now might be a good time start thinking about tracking your hardware on the road. As a first line of defense, iPhone and iPad users should install Find My iPhone, a simple app that allows every device registered to your Me.com account to be tracked almost anywhere in the world. You can also remotely erase and lock your devices to keep the contents away from thieves. The app is free. For a bit more firepower, I recently started using a program called the Prey Project (shown above) on all my computers. It is a free piece of software that protects mobile devices and laptops running OS X, Windows, Android, and even Linux. The program is invisible and runs in the background, waiting for

By Chris Oldroyd, Tuesday, Jun 7, 2011 | Apple has quietly updated its Find My iPhone application to include a couple of very handy new features. After you have updated the app, when you try to locate one of your devices that is currently offline, you will receive an email to tell you when it has reconnected to a network. You can also now delete a device that is attached to your account, without the need for it to be online. Previously you could only do this from the MobileMe web portal. If you don’t have Find My iPhone you should get it as soon as possible. It is completely free and gives you an easy way to locate your iOS device, remotely lock it or completely wipe it, if it is stolen. We have a guide to show you how to set it up right here.

Find My iPhone: helpful utility or breeder of social discord? You be the judge... or, in this case, the umpire. In New Jersey, youth baseball umpire Carl Ippolito lost track of his iPhone and became convinced it had been stolen out of his car, reports the Hunterdon County Democrat. Ippolito used the FMi app on his son's phone to track down his device, and the service's location readout led him to the spot where he found 27-year-old Brent Johnson chatting on an iPhone. The aggrieved Ippolito, assuming that Johnson was holding his iPhone, tried to talk to him about it. When Johnson moved to walk away, Ippolito grabbed him and punched him, cutting his chin. Foul ball! Not only is it inappropriate to assault people, even if you think they stole your phone, but it turns out Ippolito's iPhone was at the snack shack at the nearby baseball field, in the

Ron Walker is a Jump Master in the US Army. Basically, his job is to make sure army parachutist are ok to jump. During one of his missions, his iPhone 4 sneaked out of his pocket, and fell 1,000 feet down. At that time, he was resigned to buy a new iPhone later. When he landed, some of his coworkers advised him to try to track his iPhone with Find My iPhone. Seconds later, his iPhone was localized, a couple miles away from where he was… Ron and his buddy got on an ATV and found the iPhone, in nearly impeccable condition. A few minor scratches here and there but no major damage, and most importantly, the phone was still working. Pretty amazing for a phone that survived a fall from a 1,000 feet high at 130 knots. Now that’s a story!

Find My iPhone is a handy and now free utility from Apple that allows the location of your iPhone to be tracked if you lose it or have it stolen. There are numerous accounts of people who have been parted from their iPhones and happily reunited thanks to Find My iPhone – including a particularly dramatic one this month that has been dubbed a ‘Christmas Miracle’. One major weakness with Find My iPhone is that if your phone is stolen and the thief is at all iPhone-savvy, it is very easy to turn off Location Services, which immediately renders Find My iPhone useless / deactivated. The guys over at Mac OS X Hints have a handy tip on how to make it considerably harder for an iPhone burglar to turn off Location Services and get Find My iPhone off their tail. I thought it would be well worthwhile to share this

Posted 11/22/2010 at 3:59pm | by J.R. Bookwalter Happy iOS 4.2 Day! In case you haven’t heard, Apple has generously made one of the formerly subscription-only MobileMe services, Find My iPhone, now free for all owners of current-generation iOS devices. Here’s how to get it up and running -- even on an older device. Find My iPhone always made an odd match with MobileMe, which requires a $99 annual subscription to use. Doesn’t Apple want every iOS mobile device user to be able to find their lost or stolen unit? Apparently they do, because Find My iPhone is now a free service, complete with an update to the existing universal iOS app and the ability to log in to Me.com using your Apple ID. Unfortunately, the free edition of Find My iPhone requires a current generation iOS device -- which means, an iPhone 4, fourth-gen iPod touch or iPad. But fear

Die iOS-Aktualisierung in Version 4.2 ist soeben ‘Live’ geschaltet worden und über iTunes als Download für iPad, iPhone 4, 3G und 3GS sowie den iPod touch der zweiten, dritten und vierten Generation zu beziehen. Die jetzt veröffentlichte iOS-4.2-Version kennzeichnet sich über eine identische Build-Nummer (8C148) mit der ‘Golden-Master’-Entwicklerfassung vom 18. November (Ausnahme: iPhone 3GS). Die direkten Download-Links finden sich hier. Laut Apple sollen über 100 neue Funktionen in dem Update bereitgehalten werden. Vieles, so wie Multitasking, Ordner, einheitlichen Posteingang oder das Game Center, sind jedoch bereits vom iPhone und iPod touch bekannt. Der größte Schub an Neuerungen entfällt deshalb auf das iPad, welches von iOS 3.2.2 einen riesigen Satz vollführt. Glaubt man den Entwickler-Versionen, war es auch genau diese iPad-Version, die mit WiFi-Problemen die einheitliche Firmware-Zusammenkunft verzögerte. Allen iOS-Geräten neu sind die Funktionen ‘AirPlay’ sowie ‘AirPrint’. Die Streaming-Möglichkeit von Musik, Videos und Fotos vom iPad zum Apple TV erfordert ebenfalls ein

by Apple has made Find My iPhone, a service that was previously limited to MobileMe subscribers, free to all owners of iOS devices with the release of iOS 4.2. Find My iPhone allows users to pinpoint their device on a map, so it can be easily recovered. To date, it has been one of MobileMe’s most popular services, so its release to the public will likely once again fuel speculation that MobileMe is going free. BlackBerry, Motorola and Windows Phone 7 each offer free apps to locate missing devices. The Find My iPhone app is available now in the App Store [iTunes link]. While iTunes does not yet reflect its new price, Apple has confirmed that it will, in fact, be free.

The long awaited update for iOS devices is finally here, and Apple even tucked in one more nice surprise. The long wait is finally over as Apple has officially announced that iOS 4.2 will be available for the iPod, iPhone and iPad today at 10am PST, 1pm EST. The new update brings features such as folders, multitasking and a unified inbox to the iPad, as well as AirPlay and AirPrint to all devices. For a full rundown of all the new features make sure to check out the tutorials we posted last week. Specifically in relation to the iPad, Apple head honcho Steve Jobs said “iOS 4.2 makes the iPad a completely new product, just in time for the holiday season. Once again, the iPad with iOS 4.2 will define the target that other tablets will aspire to, but very few, if any, will ever be able to hit.” One of

Posted 11/22/2010 at 6:18am | by J.R. Bookwalter Those rumors about free MobileMe for everyone? Not so much, but Apple did gift iOS device users with at least one component on Monday, as the Find My iPhone feature is now free for everyone with iOS 4.2. Macworld is reporting that Apple is making the formerly MobileMe-only Find My iPhone feature free to all with Monday’s release of iOS 4.2. The service, which was previously only available to MobileMe users paying $99 per year, allows iOS device owners to find their lost or stolen units from either the Me.com website or Apple’s own free Find my iPhone iOS app. Getting the Find my iPhone service is simple: After you’ve updated your device for iOS 4.2, open the Settings app and tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then tap Add Account.

The update will be available today through iTunes at 10:00 a.m. Pacific, or 1:oo p.m. Eastern. A new feature page has been posted at Apple’s site ahead of the release. Most features, like AirPrint wireless printing, multitasking and folder for iPad, and AirPlay audio and video streaming have been previewed before, and were expected. One unexpected feature is the introduction of Find My iPhone, iPad or iPod touch for non-Mobile Me subscribers. The feature won’t be coming to every device, but latest generation model (iPhone 4, fourth-gen iPod touch and iPad) owners will have free access as of today. To access the new device-finding service, just go to settings once you’ve installed the 4.2 update and add a new MobileMe account through Mail, Contact and Calendars. You’ll be prompted to enter your

By Rene Ritchie, Saturday, Nov 6, 2010 | If you go to me.com on your iPad or iPhone you’ll a screen with options to Install Find my iPhone and Gallery, and then a second category labeled as “Requires Paid Subscription”, which includes Set up Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Install iDisk. That’s a little confusing since if you tap the iTunes link, you’re taken to the App Store which promptly informs you Find my iPhone indeed still requires a paid subscription to MobileMe (or the 60-day free trial). Likewise, MobileMe Gallery still requires a member name and password on launch. So why put Find my iPhone and Gallery above the pay warning? Why put iDisk below it? Poor design, cheap attempt to get people to download and the push the subscription service, or unintentional glimpse of potentially free aspects of MobileMe to come?

Unter dem Titel: ‘iPad is Musical’ schleicht sich eine neue TV-Werbung in die Apple-Galerie. Nachdem mit der Veröffentlichung von iOS 4.1 das Game Center ‘scharf’ geschaltet wurde, trudelten in der vergangenen Nacht die ersten Spiele-Updates dafür ein. Der inoffiziellen Auflistung im TouchArcade-Forum und bei Apfelfunk.de folgte eine eigene ‘Game-Center’-Rubrik im iTunes Store (Affiliate-Link). Gizmodo berichtet, dass mit iOS 4.1 der ‘Field-Test’-Mode zurückkehrt, der über die Tastenkombination *3001#12345#* zu erreichen ist. Die graphische Darstellung der Mobilfunk-Signalbalken wandelt sich dabei temporär in eine numerische Anzeige. Vor zwei Tagen veröffentlichte Apple kleinere Kompatibilitäts-Updates für die ‘MobileMe iDisk‘ (kostenlos; universal; App Store-Link) und ‘Mein iPhone suchen‘ (kostenlos; universal; App Store-Link); am gestrigen Mittwoch hob man iMovie (3.99 €; App Store-Link) auf Version 1.1 und zielt damit vornehmlich auf eine Unterstützung der vierten iPod-touch-Generation (Affiliate-Link). Dessen Kamera bringt einen festen Fokus mit und muss entgegen etlicher Vermutungen mit 256MB-Arbeitsspeicher auskommen. Das iPhone 4 bleibt damit das

Posted 09/07/2010 at 3:38pm | by Florence Ion We've caught wind of a myriad of tres cool software updates pushed live today. For starters, your Safari just got a little more safer, which is great when you're navigating an internet filled with hungry lions and angry giraffes. The new update fixes an issue that could prevent users from submitting web forms, as well as another issue that could cause web content to display incorrectly when viewing a Google Image result with Flash 10.1. Oh, that pesky Adobe Flash. Additionally, the new Safari update establishes an encrypted, authenticated connection to the Safari Extensions Gallery. Quick, go get the one that prevents you from ever having to see Comic Sans ever again! For those of you using Apple apps on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, the official iDisk app also got an update. Version 1.2.1 fixes an issue that prevented package files

If you've been having problems with the Apple MobileMe iDisk app, or even if you haven't noticed anything weird, it's a good idea to get the latest update. The newest version (1.21) fixes a problem opening Keynote files in some circumstances on the iPad. Rotated images now show in the correct orientation, and there are the usual unspecified 'stability and performance improvements.' Meanwhile, the Find My iPhone app has been bumped to version 1.01. The updated app supports the new iPod touch and fixes some translation issues in French, German and Japanese. There are also 'various bug fixes.' The apps work on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, so check the app store for the free updates pronto.

With the undeniable popularity and success of the iPhone 4 (despite the antenna debacle), iPad, and ever-increasing Mac sales, Apple is gaining customers faster than ever. If you're thinking about making the switch, this could be your perfect setup. Component one: iPhone 4 Now in its fourth iteration, Apple's iPhone has forever changed the mobile phone landscape by thrusting touch-screen technology to the tips of every tech geek's tongue and every consumer's wish list. Despite its early and somewhat overblown issues, iPhone 4 has had record-setting sales. With the exception of the complaints from a vocal minority regarding its antenna, critics love the iPhone 4. Think of iPhone 4 as your mobile communications component in this setup. With it, you can send text messages; make calls; send e-mail, instant messages, and tweets; update Facebook; and check in with Foursquare. Of course, you can play games and download other apps to the

Editor-in-Chief, iLounge Published: Wednesday, July 7, 2010 Category: iPod, iPhone, and iPad Gems: Apps, Games + More Welcome to a special Apple application-focused edition of iPhone + iPad Gems! Over the last two weeks, Apple has released both new and updated apps for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad users, expanding both its growing collection of shopping tools and the capabilities of its web-based MobileMe subscription service. The four applications we look at today all depend on an active Internet connection, and include Apple Store, Find My iPhone, MobileMe Gallery and MobileMe iDisk, tools to locate Apple products and access media from wherever you may be located in the world. Our top pick is the new version of MobileMe iDisk, which has seen significant improvements for iPad and iOS 4 users in particular, but all of the applications merited at least our general recommendation. Read on for all the details. Apple Store

Apple has released a new app to help users track lost iPhones on the go. The Find My iPhone app does what the Web application version, found on me.com, did previously, but allows users to log in from another iPhone or iPad to aid in the search on the go. True to Apple form, the interface is simple, elegant, and easy to use. Users need only log in to the application using their MobileMe user name and password to begin the search for their lost iPhone or iPad. Each device connected to the user's account will show up and begin to be tracked, appearing on a Google Map once it is found. At that point, users can display a message or play a sound, activate a Remote Lock or a Remote Wipe. The Find My iPhone app requires iOS version 3.1.3 or later, a MobileMe subscription (currently $99 per year), and

by Apple has just released a new Find My iPhone app to help MobileMe subscribers find their missing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Find my iPhone is essentially just an application version of the Find My iPhone web interface. Besides helping you determine the physical location of your phone, what’s great about the Find My iPhone feature — the feature that makes MobileMe worth it’s $99/year price tag — is that you can also remotely lock your device and wipe your device’s data, as well as send a push notification to the device with a sound alert and a message of your choice. When I lost my phone in a cab in Miami earlier this year, I kicked myself for not having MobileMe. If I had, I may have been able to locate the cab company that had my phone or perhaps even get in touch with a fellow passenger more

By Ben Harvell on June 18th, 2010 Locate and remotely wipe your device from any iPhone or iPad Apple already knows more than most about the pain of losing an iPhone and as a result has launched a new app to help you find yours should it go missing. Unfortunately, you will need to be a subscriber to Apple’s MobileMe service in order to use the application which immediately rules it out to most who are unlikely to want to pay $99 a year for the privilege. A sixty-day trial is available here. If you happen to be a subscriber it’s worth turning the Find My iPhone service on, however, as this app could help you track down your iPhone or iPad by locating it on a map or sending a message and alarm to the device with your contact details so a kindly stranger can return it. In the worst-case

Sure, it’s called ‘Find My iPhone‘, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used on your iPod Touch or iPad… Because it can! The Find my iPhone app has just been released by Apple, and it works just fine and dandy on any of your iOS powered devices, including the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The purpose of this one is simple. If you ever lose your cherished device, you can use Find My iPhone to find it. Use is fairly straightforward. To start, you’ll need a MobileMe account (you can sign up for a free 60-day trial right here). Using your new login credentials, you can sign in and turn on the Find My iPhone feature for each device you want to locate. Once you’re all setup with MobileMe, pop open the Find My iPhone app and sign in with your MobileMe member name and password. Once in, Find My

For those who may be still holding onto a MobileMe subscription (as I sheepishly raise my hand), this latest bit of info may come as some good news. Apple has released a new app, which is called Find My iPhone. And as the name implies, it will allow the user to locate their iPhone (or iPad) on a map should it ever be lost or stolen. And yes, this is similar to the functionality that you already had in the past with the web version found in your MobileMe dashboard. The difference here is that this app is to be installed on a mobile device, which could make tracking on-the-go easier. The catch is that you should not install the Find My iPhone app on your device, but install it on another iPhone or iPad that you still have in your possession. In terms of features, the Find My iPhone app

Apple has been on a kick releasing new applications for its iOS devices over the past few weeks. First, there was the iTunes Connect app, then there was the Apple Store app, and now, coinciding with a redesigned MobileMe, Apple has released the native Find My iPhone app for both the iPhone and the iPad. Apple is no stranger to the fact that a growing majority of its customers own more than one Apple product. Seeing numbers like two million iPads in two months and 600,000 iPhone 4′s in the first day only add weight to this argument. To make it easier for users to keep up with their iDevices, Apple introduced the Find My iPhone feature in MobileMe that can use GPS (or Wi-Fi if the device is on) to locate your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. If you haven’t had a chance to use it or if you’re not

By Rene Ritchie, Friday, Jun 18, 2010 | Apple has released an official Find my iPhone app, and it’s a universal binary for both iPhone and iPad. (Yes, it’s still called Find my iPhone on the iPad and iPod touch, what’s in a name?) It works pretty much as you’d expect — enter your MobileMe login (it asks for the password each time, which might annoy you until you realize someone could use it to track you or your family members), see a list of your devices, tap one to locate it, send it an alert, lock it, or remotely wipe it. I couldn’t get locate or alert working in my quick tests, but it could still be rolling out. I’ll try again later. If you installed it, let me know how it’s working for you. iPad screenshot after the break.

Apple has released a Find my iPhone app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch today, bringing the MobileMe service to the three devices (it only tracks the iPhone and iPad, of course). If your iPhone or iPad goes missing, you can install the app on any other iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and log in with your MobileMe credentials (a MobileMe account is required) to find it. Once located, the app places its location on a map. From there you can display a message on the iPhone or iPad's screen, have it play a sound (even if silenced), remote lock it or even wipe it clean. Of course, the whole thing hinges on your having a 2nd device to find the first one. Find my iPhone is free and universal and available now.

‘Mein iPhone suchen‘ (kostenlos; App Store-Link) erreicht als Teil des (weiterhin kostenpflichtigen) MobileMe-Services (Affiliate-Link) den Status einer nativen App-Store-Anwendung. Wer sein iOS-Gerät lokalisieren, fernlöschen, sperren oder benachrichtigen lassen möchte, benötigt nun nicht mehr den Umweg über einen ‘Desktop-Browser’. Der MobileMe-Login ließ sich zuvor auch über andere ‘mobile’ Browser (iCab, Atomic Web Browser, etc.) austricksen, die sich mit einem ‘erwachsenen’ “User Agent” auswiesen. Eine native Anwendung ist diesbezüglich jedoch weitaus angenehmer zu bedienen. Mit aktiviertem Service lässt sich so das gestohlene oder gerade verlegte iPhone mit dem Apple-Telefon des Freundes aufspüren. Die ‘universal’ Veröffentlichung für iPhone und iPad steht im Zusammenhang mit einer (erneuten) Überarbeitung der Apple-Web-Anwendungen, die sich unter Me.com zusammenfinden.

18 Jun 2010 alle 10:36 Quelli che fino a poche ore fa erano soltanto rumors, sono appena stati confermati da Apple. MobileMe si è aggiornato, introducendo diversi miglioramenti e cambiamenti all’interfaccia grafica, soprattutto per quanto riguarda le Mail. Insieme a questo upgrade, è stata rilasciata anche l’applicazione ufficiale di Find My iPhone all’interno dell’AppStore. Si tratta di un’applicativo ufficiale, particolarmente ben fatto, che permetterà di ritrovare gli iPhone e gli iPad smarriti direttamente da un altro iPhone. Il servizio si basa sempre su MobileMe quindi è richiesta una sottoscrizione annuale di 79€ ed è in grado di geolocalizzare il proprio dispositivo, ottenendo l’esatta posizione sulla mappa per andarlo a recuperare in caso di smarrimento. Abbiamo più volte documentato episodi in cui degli utenti sono riusciti a ritrovare anche i propri device rubati. MobileMe è da sempre accessibile dal Web tramite un normale browser, ma da oggi esiste anche l’applicazione ufficiale che

This App makes it easy to use the best of mobile me's features. This is a must have App for mobile me users.
Apple can improve this App by allowing multiple user names. As of now you can log in and find your phone, but it would be nice to save or have your other family members phones in the App. This would allow you to open the App and click on a family members name to locate their phone without entering all their info each time.
Almost perfect.

Bravo, Apple! Thank you for finally bringing the super-useful Find My iPhone/iPad feature to the devices themselves in convenient app form. The iPad version is stellar and works extremely well - much better than the Web-based interface did. Finding devices took less than a minute and was very accurate. Sending messages to my iPhone was easy, and they were delivered rapidly. Having buttons to toggle between map, satellite and hybrid views makes for slick, simple switching. My only suggestion would be the ability to display the locations of multiple devices on the map at the same time. It's easy to switch between devices, but an "all" option would be helpful and appreciated. Overall, well-done!
Been waiting for this one...
