  • iTunes movies in Europe this year

    Filed under: , ,

    It looks like it could be for real this time. Macworld UK is reporting today that iTunes films for Europe will in fact happen before the year's end. In an interview with the French publication Les Echos, Apple's vice president for Europe, Pascal Cagni, confirmed his company's plans.

    He also said that Europe can expect to see the iPhone in the fourth quarter, and that Paris, France will eventually get an Apple Store (no timeline was discussed).

    We know you've heard this type of thing before, Europe, but this time it sounds legitimate. Hurrah!

  • TUAW Tip: Showing Desktop Hard Drives on a case-by-case basis

    Filed under:

    In my recent Mac 101 post, I showed you how to use Finder preferences to hide hard drives, CDs, and so forth in your Finder. Several readers contacted me asking how to display Desktop drives on a case-by-case basis, so here's a quick follow-up post.

    The secret is that Finder's preferences will show or hide actual volumes, i.e. any item that appears in OS X's /Volumes folder: partitions, iPods, CDs, DVDs, etc. But it doesn't control the display of aliases. So here's what you do.

    1. Show all hard drives. Open Finder -> Preferences. Select the General pane and check "Hard disks".
    2. Create aliases. Select a hard drive you want to keep on your Desktop. Control-click (or right-click) the drive and choose Make Alias from the contextual pop-up. Finder creates an alias file for the drive. Repeat for each drive you want to keep.
    3. Hide the drives. Return to Finder -> Preferences and uncheck "Hard disks". Your hard drive icons go away but the aliases remain.
    4. Rename the alias. If desired, return to the Desktop and rename each alias so it looks more like the original item. The arrow that appears at the bottom left of the drive icon indicates that you're dealing with aliases and not the original drive.

    Be aware that View -> Arrange By does not treat aliases as drives, so your disk may end up in an unexpected position after arranging.

    Thanks everyone who suggested aliases.

  • Apple straining NAND suppliers

    Filed under: ,

    Electronista passes along a report saying that Apple's increased NAND chip demand is straining suppliers to the breaking point. Electronista says Apple is trying to acquire a supply large enough to cover the manufacturing of all iPods and iPhones for the second half of 2007, including about 15% more chips than Samsung had agreed to produce.

    No matter how you look at it, a 400 - 500 million four gigabit (aka 512 MB) chip order is a whole lot. Not enough NANDs may mean longer waits for customers who want to pick up iPhones.
