Any way for iPhoto to NOT launch when iPhone connected?

Hey gang-
Is there any way to configure iPhoto to NOT launch every time my iPhone is connected to my iMac? I understand why it does it- because there are photos on my iPhone Camera roll- I get it. But I would love for it to NOT launch iPhoto every time. I know I can use Image Capture to tell iPhoto not to launch for ANY camera, but that's overkill. I just want iPhoto to not launch when my iPhone is connected. Is there maybe an app or a terminal command that could configure that?
Thanks!

Sure. Go to preferences and select do nothing when a camera is attached.
This is the way to do this. As you know, it will not open for any camera.
These are your choices. Sorry.
Thanks- at least I know I wasn't missing something.
Okay- how about this? Is there an app that would enable me to move my photos off my Camera Roll and organize them separately? That might solve the problem of iPhoto seeing them.
Thanks!
Dave

  • I cannot find information to help me change the orientation of a video filmed in portrait format but only able to be played back lying on its side  (landscape) instead of upright. All the rotation buttons for iPhoto are not 'engaged' when it is in video .

    Thanks OT,
    I tried the Export function but it would not allow me to choose the option of exporting to iMovie. I think you are right about needing Quicktime Pro. I opened iMovie and imported the clip from iPhoto and with some searching found the 'cropping, rotation' mechanism. So I now have a copy in the correct orientation. I plan to import/export it back to iPhoto because I want to have a copy on my iPhone to show people and I wanted to have it available as part of a slideshow I am making in iPhoto of my recent overseas trip. It is a pain that there is no simple orientating tool for the movie clips downloaded to iPhoto with the photos from the one camera.

    Make sure the Mute switch isn't enabled.   If you see orange, it's in silent mode.

  • TS1501 Image Capture does not launch when I connect my iPhone to my iMac and open iPhoto. No "Prefernces" is offered under Image Capture.  I cannot import photos to iPhoto.

    Can't import photos from iPhone to iPhoto.  Image Capture does not launch when iPhone is connected to my iMac and iPhoto is open.  There is no "Preferences" option offered to click when in Image Capture.

    This helped me. It is advice I found from a user named Carlosmara. First make sure iPhoto is closed and your iPhone is not connected. Then, as Carlosmara stated in his post,
    "Go to your Library/preferences and delete the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    IPhoto should recognized the iPhone again."
    The file in question is under your user folder.
    I then restarted my mac and plugged in the iPhone so that it would sync. After the sync, when I opened iPhoto, my iPhone was recognized and I could download the photos perfectly.
    Hopefully this will help you as it helped me

  • Help, iTunes refuses to not auto launch when iPhone connected to computer

    Hi, anyone else have this obnoxious problem? I unchecked "auto syncing" and all of the possible disabling options in iTunes>Preferences. Another forum I visted mentioned disabling iTunes Helper. I am having a problem launching iTunes Helper because I did a search from the main Windows Start area (lower left of computer screen), and iTunes Helper does show up with a .exe extension showing it's an application. However, when I click on it, it just disappears. It's also not listed in "My Programs" or when I run "msconfig". Is finding iTunes Helper so I can disable it what I need here to keep iTunes from auto launching when the iPhone is connected, or is my solution in doing something else? I'm using iTunes 9.0.25 Any solid help here is much appreciated!

    I don't have an iPhone but I imagine it is probably similar to using an iPod. When I connect the iPod to the computer and it shows up in iTunes under devices, click on the device (iPhone), in the device screen that appears there is an options section that has a check-box "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected." Un-check it.

  • Why my itunes does not launch when i connect my iphone to my mac air?

    why does my iTunes not open automatically when i connect my iphone to my Mac Air?

    OK ... I'm going to answer my own question.  I checked the box in iTunes PREFS "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" then went back to the DEVICES screen, iPhone summary, then unplugged the iPhone, and then back to iTunes PREFS and re-checked that box, then quit iTunes.  Then I plugged the iPhone back into the computer and Voila!  iTunes opens and syncs!  Why?  Who knows?
    This did NOT SOLVE the problem of wireless backup ... still not working ... whether iTunes is open or not.

  • ITunes not Starting when iPhone connected

    I just got an iPhone 3G and installed iTunes 9.0.
    When I connect my iPhone to sync, iTunes does not start. I get the box:
    Camera connected
    Select the program to launch for this actiona
    Canon CameraWindow
    Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard
    If I manually start iTunes, I can see my iPhone but no Music or Movie subfolders under the device. And I can't drag any music from my library to the iPhone.
    Is there a conflict with my camera software or should it just work this way? I tried to uninstall all camera software but without success.
    I have gotten some music on the iPhone from syncing, but not all that I want.
    Thanks for the help.

  • ITunes no longer launches when iPhone connected

    Hello all:
    My ITunes no longer launches automatically when I connect my IPhone.
    IPhoto does, but not ITunes. However, once I open it, it connects with my phone and syncs it without an issue.
    I just want it to auto-launch for syncing.
    I've read a few posts about this, but have not seen a clear answer yet.
    The following settings on my phone and laptop are correct (I think):
    --ITunes>iPhone>Summary>"Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" checked
    --ITunes>Preferences>Devices>"Disable automatic syncing for iPhone and iPods" is unchecked
    I noted in one previous post about this that someone mentioned the necessity of having "ITunes Helper" installed in your Login Items, in your Account prefs, in order to have ITunes auto-launch when the iPhone is connected. I do NOT have this app, nor can I find it anywhere on my computer.
    Is this the problem? If so, is ITunes Helper available somewhere?
    Hoping for an answer; I've noticed that a lot of posts on this subject have not gotten responses, and wondering why.

    Find iTunes in your applications folder. Right-click (control-click) on iTunes and select "Show package contents". Look in the "Resources folder" for iTunes helper. Drag it into your Accounts -> Login items list. Restart your Mac.

  • ITunes automatic launch when iPhone connected

    I suddenly have a new problem, and am uncertain as to what I did. When I plug my iPhone into my MacBook, in the past, iTune automatically launched and recognized my phone. Does not do that anymore.
    I upgraded to Leopard. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Howdy-
    Make sure, on your iPhone's screen in iTunes, that "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is checked.
    I am seeing the same thing. I have to manually launch iTunes on my Mac Pro.
    i like , are you referring to the checkbox in iTunes on the Mac/PC that actually reads, "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" or a screen on the iPhone?
    I have the above box checked yet iTunes still fails to open when I plug in my iPhone.
    Any ideas?

  • ITunes does not open when iPhone connected.

    When I connect my iPhone to my iMac, iTunes does not open. The iTunes option to open iTunes when this iPhone is connected is checked.
    What is the name of the iTunes preference file that I can put in the trash to try to get this to work correctly?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    If you manually open iTunes, is the iphone found and listed under Devices?
    If it doesn't show up at all, it could be that the iphone driver has corrupted.
    It's been a while since I have a look in an XP machine but from memory;
    With the phone plugged in, goto Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Hardware
    You should find two apple drivers I think under Portable Devices -
    Apple iPhone: which is the driver for connecting to iTunes and
    Apple Mobile Device USB Driver: this connects the camera
    Does the 1st driver have an yellow exclamation indicating that it is not installed correctly? If it does, delete it and then search from new devices again and the phone should be found again and reinstalled.
    If this doesn't work, it probably quickest to uninstall iTunes and re-install it following this method
