Anyway to not make iphoto open everytime you plug in i phone?

it is getting really annoying that everytime i dock the iPhone, iPhoto opens, i dont mind itunes, but for christ's sake, i thought i flipped on the option to only sync selected items.....

iPhoto is transferring pictures that you've taken on your phone to your iPhoto library. If you don't take any new pics on your phone, then iPhoto won't open.

  • Can I NOT have iPhoto open when I plug in my iPhone?

    Every time I plug my iPhone, iPhoto pops up (turns on). Is there a way NOT to have iPhoto pop up? iTunes obviously comes up too which is fine; just don't want iPhoto coming up.

    Kevin Lee5,
    Yes, you can turn it off. However, first an overview of why it pops up.
    iPhoto pops up and offers to import any pictures taken on the iPhone to the computer when there are pictures taken on the iPhone. These pictures might not be backed up, and gives you an opportunity to import them so that they are on more than just the iPhone. If you initiate a remote wipe, reset all settings and content, or lose your iPhone they could be lost.
    Setting it to pop up will affect all digital cameras, so you will need to open iPhoto manually to import photos from a digital camera in addition to the iPhone.
    In iPhoto 7, you can turn it off in the in the iPhoto preferences. Select "No Application" in the General tab where it says, "Connecting camera opens:"
    Regardless of which version of iPhoto you have installed, the same option appears in the Image Capture preferences as well.
    Hope this helps,

  • Make iPhoto open by default when I plug in a SDHC

    I have a canon camera and when I plug in the SDHC card from it the default application to open is the Canon software. Is there any way to make iPhoto open by default?
    I can't find an option for this anywhere.

    Yes, it is called "Connecting camera opens", I can't believe that I missed that. Thanks.
    It would make a lot more sense to me if this was in an appropriately renamed System preferences : CDs & DVDs. You could rename it "external media".

  • HT2499 Hi. When I inserted the DVD into my Macbook Pro I could not play because it required to choose region????? So I could not make it. If you have any idea please let me know. Many thanks.

    Becasue you have not set your preferences in itunes to open when a device is connected and you have set iphoto to open when a digital camera is connected.

  • HT201263 iTunes doesn't open after I plug in the phone

    After trying to update to ios 7.0.6, iTunes doesn't open after I plug in the phone and doesn't show the message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.", which it should. What do I do now?

  • How can I get iPhoto to NOT automatically import photos when I plug in my phone?

    I use iPhoto to do quick, simple touch-ups to my pictures, but when I am in the middle of editing and plug in my phone just to charge, it automatically begins a new import and takes me away from my work, which is beyond annoying.  If I want to import my cell phone pictures, I am savvy enough with the program to do it manually when I want to.  I have tried navigating 'Preferences' and there appears to be no way to change this, which is a poorly missed feature.  Help?

    iPhoto doesn't import anything unless you tell it to. All it's doing is offering to import. No you can't stop that window appearing. You'll just have to click cancel.
    iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
    is the route to the developers for feature requests.

  • My itunes stops working everytime i plug up my phone and it tries to sync and then closes. Help!!

    Everytime I plug in my iphone 3gs and my itunes tries to sync itunes stops working and shuts down. I tried to uninstall and reinstall but it didnt work. Can anyone help?

    Are you seeing any error messages?
    Check this thread out -> itunes has stopped working...here are the problem reports:
    Try unchecking the Include videos option in iTunes, under Photos. You'll click the iPhone on the left side of iTunes, then click Photos across the top of iTunes to see the option.
    If you still want to sync the videos, you can add them to iTunes as movies and then sync them. You may have to right click and convert the videos in iTunes before syncing to the iPad (depending on how the videos were created).

  • I have bought quite a lot of music on iTunes, both on the computer, and on the iPhone 4. Now, I have gotten a new PC, and music is lost. Why not make it, so that you can always re-download music? ******* stupid, this other way.....

    Seeing that this has become quite a problem, I need to tell you all about this crap.
    I have been forced to buy a new PC, due to the old one breaking down. (Finally, had it for 8 years...)
    Now, while I have taken a backup of the iTunes Library, including music, apps, movies etc. And put in the new iTunes folder on the NEW PC, somehow, quite a lot of the music, previousley downloaded from iTunes, have gone missing. It was still on my iPhone, but when I plugged it in to synchronize, they got "kicked out" - and are now no-where to be found. I am quite frankly HIGHLY unsatisfied with this issue, and want to know, if there is a way to redownload my music, without involving iTunes Store Support into it. Mostly, because I think they are quite nice people, but with very limited options when it comes to helping each individual in a way, satisfying enough. I have had previous encounters with them, turning out quite... harsh.
    Let me know what you think, and if I should write a formal complaint to iTunes Store.
    Regards,
    Mark.

  • *611 not working on pay-as-you-go, non-smart phone

    I have a basic, non-smart phone with the pay-as-you-go plan (pay $100, good for one year, all calls 25 cents a minute.) It is an older Audiovox 8615 CDMA phone that is mobile-web enabled, but it will not handle apps such as MyVerizon. Incoming and outgoing calls work fine. Voicemail works fine. Text works fine. I have had this account for two years and have been very happy with the service.
    Problem: I can no longer reach *611 (add money, check balance), or #225 (check balance). I get an "All circuits are busy, please try your call again later" message. I first noticed this several days ago and have reported it and have a repair ticket in, but was wondering if anyone knows what might be going on here? I have internet service and a laptop, so can still use the Verizon Wireless web site to manage my account. However, I believe I should still be able to check my balance or add funds using the phone itself, as I have in the past. Thoughts?

    Just got off the phone with Verizon Prepaid customer service rep who called to report on my trouble ticket. The problem is most likely my phone and not the network. She suggested doing a  factory reset on the phone and if that does not resolve the problem, I'll need to get a newer phone. Just posting this follow-up in case others have a similar problem.

  • How do I make iPhoto events with photo stream?

    I am confused about how I am now supposed to download photos into iphoto to make Events.  Yesterday I plugged in my phone to import recent photos but when it did this I ended up with two of everything because photostream had already "imported" (?) them.  So, if that means I don't need to plug the iphone in pto import the photos, then how do I:
    1.  delete the photos from my phone that I would normally be deleting everytime i import via a wire?
    2.  make an event from the photos in the photo stream?
    I also noticed that some of the photos from the same series of photos are still left on my phone--those are the only photos that are not duplicated.  I don't understand why they were left on my phone, nor is it clear to me whether the ones on my computer are from the "normal import" or from the "photo stream import". 
    Would love some clarity about this.

    As far as the duplicates.... I don't know why it's doing that. If something comes to mind I'll let you know.
    As far as using a cable...
    You can still sync with iTunes (apps, music, photos etc) via Wi-Fi and only use the cable to charge the phone. That has nothing to do with Photostream. So you should have iTunes set up to sync the photos with a folder on your MBP.
    As far as being away from your MBP for over 30 days....
    Well, in that case whatever photos are older than 30 days will disappear from photostream, but they will still be in your phone's camera roll. As long as you don't lose or break your phone, you can transfer them to your MBP when you're home again (via iTunes or iPhoto or Image Capture). If you are concerned something will happen to your phone during those 30+ days away from your MBP, then you can use an option like Dropbox to save them online.

  • Avoid iPhoto opening automatically when camera in docking unit

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me to solve a small problem. Somehow, some months ago I must have ticked off a box to make iPhoto open automatically when I press the USB button on my digital camera.
    Now my mac is almost two years old, but works fine, except that iPhoto is incredibly slow. iPhoto using years to open each time I want to pick some pictures from my camera has become extremely annoying, but I can't find out how to turn that function off.. I guess the answer is quite simple?

    Go to Applications -> Image Capture. In the preferences to this app you can decide what happens when a camera is connected.

  • Ipod touch plug in and iphoto opens

    Why does iphoto open when I plug in my ipod and not itunes?

    Because you have iphoto set to open when you connect a camera and you do not have itunes set to open when you connect the device.

  • Error 148:3  When trying to start photoshop, it gives me this error and will not let me open up CS4

    This is on my labtop, it was recently updated and now it will not let me open CS4

    If you can only get to the Recovery sceen, try using Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair your hard drive/flash storage. If the disk can't be repaired then you'll need to see an Apple tech as soon as possible.
    Call back with results.
