MobileMe helps you find your lost iPhone.

Sometimes it’s your keys. Other times it’s your glasses. Misplacing things happens all the time. Now, if you misplace your iPhone, Find My iPhone can help you find it.

Locate your iPhone on a map.

Now, if you lose your iPhone, MobileMe can help you find it. MobileMe includes a new feature called Find My iPhone. Just enable Find My iPhone in MobileMe settings on your phone.* Then you can log in to me.com from any computer to access Find My iPhone and display your phone’s approximate location on a map.

Set a passcode lock remotely.

Once you realize you haven’t simply misplaced your iPhone at home under a pile of laundry, you may want to protect its contents until your iPhone is safely back in your hands. Just sign in to your MobileMe account and remotely set a four-digit passcode lock to prevent people from using your iPhone, accessing your personal information, or tampering with your settings.

Display a message or play a sound on your lost iPhone.

Say you’ve just used the Find My iPhone feature and it turns out your phone is at the doctor’s office. Not to worry. You can write a message that will be displayed on your iPhone — something like, “Oops! Left my iPhone behind. Blame it on the cold medicine. Be there ASAP to pick it up.” Your message appears on the screen, even if your phone is locked. And if the map shows you that your iPhone is nearby, yet you still can’t find it, you can tell MobileMe to play a sound that overrides the ringer volume or silent setting on your phone.

Protect your privacy with Remote Wipe.

Addresses, phone numbers, email, photos. Your iPhone contains important and personal information — information you probably don’t want in the hands of a stranger. So if you lose your iPhone and displaying a message on it hasn’t resulted in its safe return, you can initiate a remote wipe to restore it to the factory settings.* If you eventually find your iPhone, you can restore your email, contacts and calendars by enabling your MobileMe account on your iPhone. Or connect your iPhone to your computer and use iTunes to restore the data from your most recent iPhone backup.

Your iDisk goes wherever you go.

A new iDisk app for iPhone and iPod touch makes the files on your iDisk available for viewing and sharing anytime, anywhere.

View iDisk files on your iPhone.

The free iDisk app, available from the App Store in iTunes, lets you view your iDisk files right on your iPhone or iPod touch. Popular file types, such as Microsoft Office and iWork ’09 documents and presentations, PDFs and more, are viewable in landscape or portrait. Just tap the file to access it and use pinch gestures to zoom in and out. And any file you’ve viewed recently doesn’t need to be reloaded. So if you start reading a document in the cab to the airport, you can quickly resume reading it on the plane.

Share files with just a tap.

One of the great features of iDisk is file sharing. Files that are too big to email can be shared easily by accessing your iDisk online at me.com. Now you can enjoy that same convenience using the iDisk app on your iPhone or iPod touch. Just tap the Share button, choose your recipients and iDisk sends them an email with a link to download your file. You can limit the number of days a shared file is available and set a password to protect it. And you don’t even need to download a file first to share it.

Access Public folders.

Your MobileMe Public folder is ideal for sharing files with colleagues, classmates, or anyone you’re collaborating with on a project. Not only can visitors download files from your Public folder but, with your permission, they can upload files of their own. You can also password-protect your Public folder. The new iDisk app for iPhone and iPod touch lets you access another MobileMe member’s Public folder no matter where you are. You can save Public folders you access often, so they’re easier to find. Need to get to a Public folder but can’t recall the person’s MobileMe member name? The iDisk app finds people in your contacts with me.com email addresses.

* Find My iPhone requires iPhone OS 3.1. Find My iPhone and Remote Wipe not available in all countries.
