Aperture has suddenly decided to open whenever I plug in my iPhone

I have checked every preference I can find in iTunes, Aperture and System Preferences but nothing seems to apply. How do I stop this zombie behavior?

I have checked every preference I can find in iTunes, Aperture and System Preferences but nothing seems to apply.
It is the setting "Import" -> "When a camera connected is, open"
Your iPhone is a camera, and when it contains pictures, Aperture will open. Set this to "No Application", then Aperture will not launch.
And make sure, that you check "open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" in the Devices tab of iTunes, if you want to sync it with iTunes (unless you do not want to sync with that computer!).

Droid Ultra has suddenly stopped charging from the wall plug-in

My Droid Ultra has suddenly stopped charging from the wall plug-in. I've tried every charger in the house. I've tried to plug it into a wall charger at work in case there may be an issue with my outlets at home, but it won't charge from a wall plug-in from any location. However it will chage if I plug it into the computer or my portable battery charger. Any ideas why it won't charge from a wall plug-in and how I may fix it?

Let's get your phone charged, chaseperil! You stated that you have tried every charger in your home. Have you tried the whole charger or just the cable? We want to make it is not the plug part of the charger. Are you using the charger that came in the box?

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.

IOS has suddenly decided to download hundreds of messages

It's just streaming downloading messages going back into last summer in groups of 250 messages. Have no idea what it's doing or why. They all seem to be from a GoDaddy POP account. I have 489 unread messages, and it's just started another 250 batch. Anybody know what's going on with the OS and how to stop it before it fills my phone?
Thanks.

SSo what changed today that the photo suddenly decided it needed to download these messages again. Why doesn't a message deleted in the iPhone immeduately reappear in the iPhone or reappear 10 minutes later? Why were they gone one day and then reappeared the next? The behavior yesterday was different from the behavior today. Yesterday I would delete a message from the inbox and it would go to the trash. It didn't redownload. Why today did it decide it suddenly needed to redownload a thousand messages? What changed? The date?

ITunes no longer opens when I plug in my iPhone - iPhoto does. Help!

Don't know what happened - but when I plug in my iPhone to sync - iPhoto opens up - not iTunes. I went to Help, and changed USB port, restarted computer and iPhone.... iPhoto still opens instead of iTunes. Device only shows up on iPhoto window, not iTune. Is there a fix?

It SHOULD show up in iPhoto if you have photos in your Camera Roll, in addition to opening in iTunes.

Why does iphoto open when i plug in my iphone instead of itunes?

Why does iphoto open when I plug my phone into computer? I thought itunes was supposed to open and it wont.

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.

Aperture library suddenly won't open

OK, I've been putting off updating to the latest version of Aperture (3.4.3) because I had a sort of premonition about something bad happening to my library. But I finally got around to doing the upgrade, having felt this version had been around long enough to be stable. Big mistake. It worked OK initially, but suddenly today won't open my library, no matter what I do.
When I launch Aperture, it opens a little window with a spinning marker in it and the message "Opening Aperture Library". This is normal prior to the main window opening, but usually I see it for no more than a second or so. Now, it's all I see; the main window never appears.
Oddly, Apertur's menu structure seems to work OK while this 'loading' window is open. I can, for example, open the Activity window. However, it contains no useful information to say what's going on; the entries are just blank in this window. Also, I can quit Aperture normally (whereupon it says 'updating previews' as usual).
I've tried all three of the database-reparing options that Aperture offers if you hold down Option-Command when starting: repair permissions, repair database, rebuild database. In all three cases, it goes through the repair process and then just reverts to showing the little 'opening library' window and nothing has improved.
The upgrade to version 3.4.3 apparently went OK the other day, and I've opened and quit the software a few times since I upgraded it, and I thought everything was fine. The one thing that wasn't quite right (and I wonder if this has somethnig to do with my problem now) was Photo Stream. It didn't seem to be working properly. If I clicked the Photo Stream entry in the list at the left of the window, what I saw was just the 'welcome' message with buttons below it to sign in or turn off the service ("No, thanks" button). I didn't see any actual Photo Stream content. In this window, however, it *did* say that I was signed in with my usual Apple ID, so it wasn't very clear to me whether it was OK or not.
There's a photo I took on my iPhone which I was expecting Aperture 3.4.3 to download from Photo Stream, but it never did. I.e. just one shot that failed to download; all the previous ones had been downloaded by my previous version of Aperture. I couldn't see why the missing picture was failing to download, so I tried turning Photo Stream off and on again from within Aperture. I'm really not sure whether this worked or not; there didn't seem to be any meaningful feedback from the software.
Anyway, after having tried to launch Aperture today (and failed), I checked System Preferences and found that Photo Stream was turned off. So I turned it on again. Unfortunately it makes no difference: Aperture still won't load its library at all now.
I have tried all of following:
1. Rebooting my Mac
2. Verifying the disk contaning my Aperture library (it was fine)
3. All three of Aperture's database-repair options
4. Turning Photo Stream on in System Preferences
...and nothing makes any difference. Aperture simply will not open my library but just sits there, twiddling its spinner.
NB My library still appears to be OK, in that I can access its contents from other software successfully using the media browser.
What I haven't yet attempted is to create a blank new library and import my existing library into it. Failing any better ideas I'll try that next, but it's going to be a big operation that will take a lot of time and disk space, so I'd like to see if there are any better things to try first.
I must say I'm very disappointed that Aperture can apparently break so easily. I haven't lost any actual pictures because I'm paranoid and keep a separate copy of all my shots just in the Finder, external to any management software. But I've lost access to lots of photo books I've created over the years and various other resources, not to mention all the editing work I've done on thousands of shots within Aperture (which I haven't retained separately).
This is supposed to be professional level software. How can it seriously (a) break this easily and (b) not be able to retrieve itself via its database repair options?I'm very disappointed.

Thanks for that very helpful reply. I've followed your instructions and done some further digging too.
To answer your three points, first of all:
1. No, I haven't imported any images since upgrading my Aperture library for version 4.3.4; I did move photos between projects a couple of times, but mostly I just checked that everything appeared OK after the upgrade and tried to work out why PhotoStream didn't seem to be working properly.
2. I've attempted to create a new Aperture library. This didn't work! A library gets created on disk, but attempting to open it produces the same endless spinner as the main library.
3. I switched to a spare user account (a blank one called 'test', just as the system created it) and tried to launch Aperture and create a new library there. Same result: library is created but won't load in.
This is very strange, because I'm not aware of having changed anything substantial on my system recently. No new software that installed anything as a login item, system service or background process etc. that I'm aware of. (I'm actually quite wary of such software, and don't have much of it on my system.) The only substantial thing that I know has changed since I last successfully launched Aperture is the year, to 2013! And I hardly think that's the cause...!
I'm wondering if Aperture itself has become corrupted somehow, and whether I should trash it and reinstall it. But that's rather a pain because I've got the DVD version, not the one from the Mac App Store. Besides, I'm not sure what remnants it leaves on the system (sandbox files etc.).
I've verified my startup disk, on which Aperture resides, and repaired permissions, and no error was reported (nor did many permissions need to be fixed).
Now, the only other possible explanation I can come up with is that startup is being prevented by a misbehaving PhotoStream process, as I've just discovered that I'm having endless crashes from PhotoStreamAgent, as reported in Console. I'm getting the same series of messages popping up every few seconds:
01/01/2013 21:58:51.649 xpcd[4676]: PhotoStreamAgent[5540]: registration request failed: (0x11, 0x0) The file “com.apple.iLifeAssetManagement.agent.plist” couldn’t be saved in the folder “Preferences” because a file with the same name already exists.

This is just repeating every 10 seconds, as suggested by the 'Will start in 10 seconds' message. Starts; crashes; loop.
Now, I've searched for a file called "com.apple.iLifeAssetManagement.agent.plist" and have found three instances: one each in the following places:
Aperture:
/Users/rghallas/Library/Containers/com.apple.Aperture/Data/Library/Preferences/c om.apple.iLifeAssetManagement.agent.plist
PhotoStream Agent:
/Users/rghallas/Library/Containers/com.apple.photostream-agent/Data/Library/Pref erences/com.apple.iLifeAssetManagement.agent.plist
iPhoto:
/Users/rghallas/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/Data/Library/Preferences/com .apple.iLifeAssetManagement.agent.plist
In all three cases, the file appears to be an alias that points to itself (i.e. original path is the same as the alias's path in each case). That seems weird but I hope it's right, given that it applies to all three (and the files alongside these plists in the folders in which they reside).
Anyway, the logs unfortunately don't make it clear exactly *which* Preferences folder is being referred to, and hence which com.apple.iLifeAssetManagement.agent.plist file is causing a problem. I imagine it's the one associated with PhotoStream Agent, since it's the Agent that's producing the ongoing crash reports. But either way I don't know what to do about it. I suppose I could try trashing this particular plist file, but I'm reluctant to do so as I don't want to break anything further.
NB Aperture itself doesn't appear to output any log messages to say what's happening while it's failing to load its library.

My computer has suddenly decided that it won't use firefox anymore but will internet explorer is this a common problem

The problem started yesterday for unknown reasons. I have connectivity can get to the internet via internet explorer which by the way I dont remember keeping a copy on this harddrive. Any help is appreciated.

Hi nomadsjangle,
<u>'''Short answer,'''</u> downgrade to Flash 10.3, Firefox should then work ok, and hopefully RealPlayer will be fully functional.<br/>For instructions see [[flash 11.3 crashes]]
Sorry you are having problems. I am not sure why you decided to blame Firerfox for this problem.
If you pay for and install RealPlayer why do you blame Firefox when you need to uninstall it to play video ? Why not blame RealPlayer, FlashPlayer, or even another browser!
This is a known issue and developers from Firefox, Flash and Realplayer have been involved with this for a few weeks. There have been a few changes in that time but no full solution that suits everyone is available, or likely in the immediate future AFAIK.
I suspect your problem is due to the fact that FlashPlayer 11.3 introduced a security feature known as ''protected mode''. (Flash 11.3 may also have other issues with Firefox) RealPlayer (certainly the versions current when Flash11.3 was released) has problems with this. Real player is or was causing problems with use of Flash to view videos on Firefox with Flash 11.3.
Note FlashPlayer will be installed on the Operating System as a plugin, and may be used by more than one browser (although it needs different software for IE).
Downgrade Flash to 10.3 then if you still have problems post back, confirm the Flash Player version you have now,and the RealPlayer version.
Note
* if you use the Adobe uninstaller you may need to reinstall FlashPlayer on IE
* take care not to follow advice from plugincheck FlashPlayer etc to upgrade to the latest version, until this issue is resolved.
* this is a temporary solution, you should upgrade again once this is resolved.

An external hard drive has suddenly decided to show all filenames in Kanji!

After installing NTFS driver by Paragon, all filenames now appear as if in Kanji (Japanese characters) !
Any idea how to correct this ?
Mac G4 PowerBook , Leopard 10.5.8
Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.5

I see that was also the comment by the Paragon support team on the wildersecurity link given by Tom above.
(Paragon support is hard to find!)
The trouble is that Paragon do not identify the Intel hardware as a minimum requirement and version 9.0 of their software worked fine for the past 18 months on my machine, it was only when I had to reinstall it, I used version 9.5 and got the problem.
I will now see if I can find a download for version 9.0 somewhere.

TS1398 My iphone 5 has suddenly decided it wont connect to wi fi network,

I've had this issue a couple of time before but usually switching it off an on again fixes it, this time it still wont connect.
Any ideas how to fix it, ive tried turning router on and off, other people with the same phone and ios can connect but i cant.

Try first, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
If no joy, try
Settings > Wi-Fi > select you wi-fi SSID > Forget this Network.
Now do manually key in your Wi-Fi SSID and password. (Do not use the automatic wi-fi list)

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.
