343493408bc439ab28bm 1263770174 Talkcast tonight: iPhone 4 preorder and more!As per tradition, we’ll be digitally gathering this evening for the Talkcast. Hosting tonight will be handled by me, unofficial Mistress of the unofficial Aftershow. This week’s topics include the iPhone 4 preorder snafu-age, the 10.6.4 system update, the impending iOS 4 release, and iPad/Mac security. We’ll get things underway at 4pm Hawaiian time, which is 7pm Pacific and 10pm Eastern.

Of course, we’ll also talk about whatever your heart desires too. None of this works without you. Yes, you! Without our regular readers and listeners, it’s just TUAW bloggers talking to themselves. What Mac and iPhone-related topics are on your mind?

Before you purchase yet another soap on a rope, consider our list of potential last-minute gifts for the Mac-loving or iDevice-toting dad in your life. He’ll thank you for sure. (
If Dad doesn’t have an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch — there’s a suggestion right there.)

Macworld iPhone 4 orders. Keep in mind, just as with past overnight shipments of iThings, the shippers are scheduled to hold the phones for delivery so that they don’t arrive before June 24.

Meanwhile, a copy a screenshot to the clipboard using Command + Control + Shift + 3 (or 4, for the crosshairs screenshot). From there you can paste into Preview or Mail or any other application which can take images from the clipboard.

The issue presents itself when you paste into Mail.app or Mailplane. Instead of using your preferred format for screenshots, the images are pasted as a iTunes 9.2 being released, but there was a little new feature in there which may have escaped your notice. At the bottom of the list of apps that you can install on your iDevice is a checkbox to automatically sync new apps.

This has been the default behavior of iTunes, but you are now able to turn it off if you don’t want apps to be automatically sync’d to your iDevices.

Thanks to TUAW reader Mike (aka MC SE7EN) for the tip. Mike also pointed out that the little iOS device images that appear next to the device name, identifier, etc, seem to be pictured running iOS 4, even if your device isn’t. If you look closely you can see a folder icon. Well, Mike could. My eyes apparently aren’t as good as his.

Updated 7:30 pm to clarify that this was the default behavior which now has an “off” switch.
