  • How do I stop iPhoto from opening when i plug in my iPhone?

    How do I stop Iphoto from opening when I plug in my Iphone?

    Having the preference in iPhoto makes perfect sense to me.  After all, iPhoto is the application that opens.  You would expect that is where you should provide some guidance not to open.
    What puzzles me much more is why you would post this comment more than 18 months after wjosten answered the original question.

  • How can I stop iPhoto from opening everytime...

    OMG this is maddening.
    I am a photograher.
    I shoot tethered to a MBP in lightroom through a Canon 5D Mark III; I recently upgraded to YOSEMITE.
    Every lovingtime I plug the camera in to the MBP, IPHOTO starts, reads the contents of my 16GB card which of course takes time, during a photoshoot, and then want to import 500+ images- I of course cancel or close the window down. But in the event I have to reconnect the camera or restart something- I get the annoying  IPHOTO program doing the same ^&$&^% again.....it does it on my MAC MINI in my office when I bring the images home for editing...
    The fact that the iphoto window is buried under another window and I can't &^%&^*$  figure out what is holding up my work flow while still looking composed in front of clients is MADDENING.
    THIS IS CRAZY,,, How can I stop it

    There are two places you can set iPhoto to not open when a camera is connected:
    1 - iPhoto's General preference pane:
    2 - (if iPhoto continues to open after #1) - with the camera connected to your Mac launch Image Capture and in the lower left hand corner of the widow set No Application in the dropdown menu provided:

  • How can i prevent iphoto from opening when i plug in my iphone to the computer?

    Hi There,
    I have  a question, when I connect my iPhone to the computer the iPhoto automatically opens.
    how can i prevent this from happening? it always slows down my computer.
    any help will be appreciated.
    thanks

    Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) - In the preferences you can decide to 'Do Nothing' when a camera is connected.
    Some versions also have this option in the iPhoto Preferences.

  • How can I stop itunes from starting when I turn on the computer?

    I'm sure I've done it before but I've just reinstalled itunes and it starts evey time I turn on the computer. I have searched all the menus and haven't found an option to turn this off.
    Can anyone help please?

    Go to Start>All Programs and look in Startup. iF iTunes appears there, remove it.
    If iTunes is not in startup, do you have any iTunes widgets? If you don't know what they are you probably don't have any.
    Some iTunes Widgets can be configured to start when you start your computer and that could cause iTunes to appear.

  • How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

    iPhoto has detected faces of people I dont know, in my 'iPhoto faces' whenever I click the cross in the corner of the face (when sorting faces) the face temporarily disappears, but once I have uploaded a fresh batch of photos (and want to identify new faces) it automatically re-identifies the old photos that I don't want to have to sort again. How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

    Thank you, that makes sense (I think!) However, I need to be able to tell iPhoto who the people identified in my photos are, does that make sense? How do I identify the people in my new photos without clicking 'find faces'. I know that button searches through my photos to find faces, but it also gets me to the place where I identify the faces as my friends and family, is there a shortcut to get to that place without clicking 'find faces'? That is what I really need, please help!!

  • How can I stop ID from opening docs in full screen

    How can I stop ID from opening docs in full screen in ID 5.5?

    You didn't answer the OS question, but I'm going to presume it's some version of OS X. This has been, I think, a common complaint among Mac users, but as a PC person I don't remember what exactly can be done about it, if anything. On thing you might want to try is using the Application Frame.

  • How can I stop Firefox from opening (to "File Not Found") when opening my Opera browser?

    Ever since I installed Opera 10.61 on my new computer (Windows 7 Ultimate operating system), whenever I open Opera, Firefox opens one second later with the following error message:
    '''File not found '''
    Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Nasheed/AppData/Local/Opera/Opera/temporary_downloads/client-en.xml.
    * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
    * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
    TRY AGAIN.

    This happens EVERY TIME I OPEN THE OPERA BROWSER. How can I stop this from happening? I'm stumped.
    [EXTRA INFO - I was unable to enable Firefox to access my previous profile on the new computer (despite putting the old profile in the appropriate Mozilla Firefox folder. So, there are now two profiles in that location.
    After reading the answer to another forum member's question, I attempted to resolve the problem using Profile Manager, but I was unable to locate the Profile Manager. The Windows "Search" feature is not enabled on my new computer (nor can it be enabled from the Customize Start Menu options).]

    Thank you for your response, Cor-el.
    I had Opera set as my default browser since this began happening. I changed my default browser back to Firefox mainly because having Firefox open one or two seconds every time I open Opera was/is such a nuisance.
    I believe this problem began because I attempted to manually transfer the files from my old computer to the new one (via the backed up files in my external drive). I was unfamiliar with Windows 7 when I did this. Microsoft changed the file set up from what I had been used to in Windows XP. I used XP for six years before being exposed to Windows 7 (I never had Vista).
    I'm almost sure this problem has something to do with where I placed the application data when I was trying to reestablish the program set up on the new computer.

  • How do I stop mail from opening when I launch safari?

    Can someone please let me know if there is a way to stop mail from opening when I launch safari.
    Thanks

    You are really confused. There are several things I'd recommend, first is becoming more familiar with your computer by visiting (and bookmarking)
    Mac 101
    Find Out How Video tutorials
    Switch 101
    Next, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support when you buy any new Mac. You will find the phone number in your manual or you can also click the AppleCare Contact Info if you cannot find it. However I would STRONGLY recommend carefully reading your manual. The AppleCare people will be able to help you sort out what you have done. You can also visit and Apple Store and speak to a Genius for free, just make an appointment.

  • How can I keep iPhoto from opening?

    I'm currently using iPhoto v5.0.4 and Panther 10.3.9, and am fairly new to both. My question is how can I get iPhoto to stop automatically opening and loading my photos into it when I insert my memory stick into the card reader attached to my Mac mini via USB? I want to just load the photos onto my HD, and not into iPhoto.
    I've looked at the iPhoto preferences and can't find anything to turn off the automatic opening up of the application.
    If I can't stop if from doing that, how can I copy the photos in iPhoto to a separate file on the HD?
    Thanks,
    Esther

    Oh wow! Worked like a charm. I never would have figured that out. Thanks!
    If you have time, could I ask you another question? If I've gotten the photos onto my HD, and decide I want to copy them into iPhoto so I'll have them in both places, how do I do that?
    Thanks,
    Esther

  • How can I stop mail from opening single page attachments.

    I open some mail attachments in Notetaker app to make adjustments to some pages before sending on but when an attachment is only a single page it opens in the email message itself and then I can't open it. How can I stop this happening?
    Hopefully thanks in advance

    Hi Dave!  This may help if you should want to save your emails to your computer which AM can do.
    --Open Mail
    --From Application Toolbar choose MAIL
    --Choose ACCOUNTS from Mail  tool bar
    --Choose "Account Information"
    --In the bottom right hand box -- Choose the "drop down box" (blue arrows) and Choose the mail box you want to send mail from
    --Check "Use only this server".  (Safari has a drop down on their tool bar that allows you to choose which box you want to send from.)
    Go to Safari or a Web Page and send an email message.  See if this works.
    Of course, I'm assuming you have filled in the Account information for all your mailboxes.  If not, that's a whole different  procedure but well worth the effort, all your mailboxes are at your fingertips and you can save all your mail to your computer, back it up and never loose a word.  :-)
    Another caveat:  I am using OS X 10.6.8 and the later versions of OS X may have dropped or modified Mail.  Perhaps someone using one of the newer versions can add their knowledge here.
    AM has many useful perks, it just takes time to find them but they really are worth the effort.

  • How can I stop Safari from opening new windows unless I want them?

    Since Safari 5.02, there is no box to check in the General Preferences to stop Safari from opening a new window when I click on a link. My expectation is to only go to a new window when I want to do it. Most of my searches go down a rabbit hole and I just want to go backwards without closing page after new open page (Same problem with Tabs. I don't want new Tabs all the time either. In fact, the only time I really care about multiple open Tabs or Windows is when I need more than one Window open for data comparison or something like that...)
    This is an incredibly annoying new behavior of Safari that I want to shut off. I have 20 windows open in the Window list right now. (I regularly shut off Safari to clear up all the useless abandoned windows.) Firefox doesn't do this, but I prefer Safari.
    I tried to search this one, but maybe am not framing the question properly. See lots of discussion of forcing new tabs, but that is not what I am looking for....Can anyone help me?

    Thanks Baltwo,
    I will try it, but I don't want new pages in tabs either. I simply don't want the link to open in a new page or tab unless I ask for one. My initial trial has google links opening in new tabs. Why can't I just go down the paths on the same page like the old days? Especially after I find what I want, I will go somewhere else.
    With your recommendation, I think that instead of pages open, I will have an abundance of tabs?
    Guess I am getting inflexible in my old age. If this is the only option, it is an "improvement" that I don't like yet.
    Firefox doesn't do it.
