Set a Passcode Lock with Find My iPhone

With Find My iPhone, you can help protect the information on a missing iPhone by remotely assigning a four-digit passcode lock. This is especially useful if you've never set a passcode before or if you want to set a new one.

To use this new feature, first install the iPhone OS 3.1 Software Update. Then if you want to remotely set a passcode lock, log in to your MobileMe Account, choose Find My iPhone in the column on the left, and click Remote Lock.

New MobileMe Control Panel for Windows Improves Calendar and Bookmark Sync

With the new MobileMe Control Panel for Windows version 1.5 you can assign your primary MobileMe calendar to sync with the default calendar in Microsoft Outlook. Any other MobileMe calendars you have will continue to sync with Outlook and appear as separate calendars. The new control panel also delivers improvements for syncing bookmarks between Internet Explorer and Safari, and provides compatibility with
Windows 7.

If you are already using the MobileMe Control Panel, you can simply upgrade to iTunes 9. This will update the control panel automatically. If you are installing for the first time, follow these instructions.
