Auto Open on Device Connect

When I connect my camera to the computer, Lr does not automatically open. I have gone to the Preferances interface to ensure Show import dialog when memory card is connected is checked.
Lr does not even show up in the Auto Play pop up window.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Deep Woods

You say:
"Lr does not even show up in the Auto Play pop up window."
Are you sure?
In AutoPlay there are two drop-down menus.In the one on the top you have to select <Pictures>. After you did that in the second drop-down menu called "Actions" there should be the option <LR - Import photos>. If it does, select <Take no Action> and click on <Apply>.
If you really can't see LR, you best use a card reader instead of connecting the camera to the computer.

How to remove iPhoto auto open when device connects with USB?

Hi
When I connect any device using USB cable (mobile,tablet) on my Mac PC , iPhoto starts up and hangs my system for sometime ...
Thank You.

Hello there wasylultra,
It sounds like your computer is becoming unresponsive whenever you plug in any USB device that has or takes photos, because iPhoto launches automatically and takes a while to open. You can change this preference in iPhoto itself to open either iPhoto, Image Capture, or no application at all when you connect a device:
iPhoto '11: Change what happens when you connect a camera to your computer
To choose the application that opens:
Make sure no cameras are connected to your computer.
Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click General.
Choose an option from the “Connecting camera opens” pop-up menu.
The title of the article mentions iPhoto '11 but the same steps hold true for iPhoto 2013.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

ITunes not opening when device connected

About a week ago, iTunes stopped opening when I connected my iPhone. If I then open iTunes manually, the device will be recognized and will sync. I checked in the system preferences and my Login Items had iTuneshelper checked, but the icon was a blank piece of paper and on the righ margin there was a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it.
I don't necessarily want iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone, but I would like to be in control of if it does or doesn't.
How do I set this straight?

Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
Select the Summmary tab from the menu.
Select or deselect: Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
And from the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
You can select to have the iPhone sync automatically (or not) there.
Or, right or control click the iPhone under Devices then make a selection.

Disable Auto-Open when iPhone connected?

I can't seem to make iTunes stop opening when my iPhone is connected, and it's driving me nuts....
Anyone know where to find that?

Found it!
It's the "Auto-sync checkbox" in iTunes...the wording wasn't what I expected, as I'd like my iPhone to auto-sync, but NOT throw iTunes on my desktop...oh well, it's off now. Thanks!

Closing "auto-open" window when connecting to a server

I have my G4 mini connect to another computer on startup. The only problem is when the mini connects, it opens the finder window. I don't usually restart often, so it's a mild annoyance, but one at that.
I would like to know if there is any way that AppleScript can automatically close that window after startup.
Maybe there is an automator option?
Thanks, any help will be appreciated.
Bryan

Bryan,
In your Applications folder there should be a folder called AppleScript which contains, among other things, the Script Editor Application.
Open it up and paste the italicized lines from my post then Save. When you Save you will be presented with a usual dialog box with the addition of a popup to select File Format. From that popup select "Application".
Once that's done add it to your Login Items.
Note that you will need to change the text "Server Name" to match the name of the window you want closed.
Once that's done spend some time in this forum looking for beginners tips. Also check out the scripts in Example Scripts in that AppleScript folder.
Ask questions, become a scripter!
Looking forward to more questions.

ITunes 9.1 not auto opening when iPhone connected

Prior to upgrading to iTunes 9.1, iTunes used to open automatically when I connected my iPhone to my Windows XP SP3 PC via USB. This was useful for simply plugging in my phone and walking away and having it done backing up and syncing when I came back.
Now it's not opening iTunes automatically, at least not unless I killed the iTunesHelper.exe task and restart it. The iTunesHelper.exe task is supposed to start iTunes.exe when the iPhone is connected, but it appears that iTunesHelper.exe simply stops working periodically and I need to kill it and restart it to get it to recognize when I connect the iPhone.
Anyone else notice this problem?

No one else sees this?
I think it has to do with Hibernating my laptop since the problem seems to start happening after I do that. It works fine if I go into Standby and resume, but I hibernate my machine every night and the next day I have to kill iTunesHelper.exe and restart it to get iTunes to automatically launch.

Why are external servers STILL auto-opening when you connect to them!

This never happened in classic. One of the many reasons why I stopped liking "macs".

Hi efacg,
Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

When iPad connected to Mac Pro, images from iPad camera auto open Aperture

Hi, When open Mac Pro with i Pad connected, Aperture opens atomatically with images from i Pad camera. Checked systen prefs for Mac & Aperture + U tunes for iPad prefs, but cannot find way to stop auto open of Aperture. Help!!!

Look in the application Image Capture on your Mac. In the preferences for Image Capture there will be a setting to choose which, if any, application to open when connecting a camera to your Mac. Change that setting to open nothing.
If you want Aperture to open when you connect your camera to the Mac and it continues to open when you connect your image then just quit Aperture after it opens and then start iTunes.
Any time there are photos in your iPad's Camera Roll. Your Mac will assume you'll want to upload those photos to your Mac.

¿What I have to do to avoid or prevent iTunes to auto configurate or autoselect as default media player each time I open it or connect my iPod?.

Hello,
For years I use in my computer Windows Media Player and/or Media Player Classic to play my music and video files and I know quite well all their operation options. My problem is that since I install the iTunes program, mainly for servicing my iPod Touch, every time I connect my iPod to the PC or open iTunes, the iTunes program without any warning or authorization auto configurate as default media player overriding my Windows and Classic Media players, so each time I have to open iTunes and go to the Advanced Preferences Menu and unselect the option " Use iTunes as the default audio application" so to be able to use my favorite media players.
My question is: ¿What I have to do to avoid or prevent iTunes to auto configurate or autoselect as default media player or override my favorite media players, each time I open it or connect my iPod?
Plese your help,
Regards,
Pabl

Hello BPeery,
I would go through ALL the steps here:
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
Let us know how it goes.
Hope this helps.

WRT54GS v5.1 auto reboot when wireless device connects

Hi,
I'm using the linksys WRT54GS wireless router v5.1
Current Firmware version v1.50.9, Sep. 14, 2006
The problem that I have is that everytime a new device connects to the Router wirelessly, the router reboots itself.
After the reboot, everything seems to be working fine. This becomes quite annoying when it comes to gaming and another family member turns on their laptop and then I get disconnected by the router because they are connecting.
What I have done upto now is reset the router after doing the FirmWare Version update and the problem still occurs. (The problem was still there even before I had done a FirmWare Update.)
Is there a way to solve this problem? because I have read about a few other problems just like mine on the forums and they don't seem to have been resolved.
Or will I have to go back to PCWORLD to see if I can get a refund / replacement?

I do not see a "keep alive" option. I use the Automatic Configuration - DHCP because I have connected, a CABLE MODEM provided by my cable provider Telewest Blueyonder
The router just reboots when the wireless laptops connect. The wired desktop (this PC) loses connection as it is rebooting and regains connection after the reboot. Then both PC and Laptop work fine.

keep getting a pop up box asking me to download photo and video, many boxes appear saying the same thing . I have no devices connected to download anything. I want this to not happen or appear.
This will just keep appearing when I am online.Using Firefox latest version I just installed Window7 from Vista. never happened prior. Windows live Photo Gallery is usually my default to open, but that is from a phone device connected to my computer.

Usually "Flame" does this (a virus that should have been auto destructed 2 weeks ago). It could be another virus or worm. My advice, FIRST scan your computer with antivirus (completely). Don't use free antiviruses. They are not providing enough protection. Then delete all temp. files and browsing history. Remove and reinstall Firefox. (don't install it automatically: ask for custom install at the beginning). It is much better to download it again from www.mozilla.org because your actual version might be corrupted by the virus (IF ANY VIRUS IS FOUND). Anyway you won't lose downloading it again.
PS: Windows 7 includes a very useful tool to scan your PC. Windows Defender. Run it along with the antivirus.

Auto opening

Probably a simple solution but where in preferences (my guess) do I go to stop the auto start up of iPhoto when I sync my iPad or iPhone?
Most of the time, I do not want or need iPhoto to open and would like to shut this feature off.
There is nothing in preferences that I can find to help.
I was given the option when I first installed the application but that's long gone.
Thanks,
Joe

SOrry - I guess it has changed
in Image capture ==> help ==> preferences
If Image Capture doesn’t open when you connect a camera
If Image Capture doesn’t open automatically when you connect a camera to your computer, you need to change your preference settings.
To open Image Capture automatically when you connect a camera:
Connect your camera to your computer, and turn the camera on.
Select the camera in the Devices list at the left of the Image Capture window.
From the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu, choose Image Capture.
If you don’t see that pop-up menu, click the “Show device settings” button in the lower-left corner.
I believe that this will allow you to set do nothing too

I have down loaded itunes (windows) on my desk top and when i click on the icon it takes 4 to 5 minutes for the program to open. also the program does not open when i connect my iphone. Help!

Why does it take 4 to 5 minutes for my itunes program to open? it also frequently freezes while i am trying to work with it. it won't open when i connect my iphone? this is on my desk top with Windows 7.

Okay, launch iTunes... does it work?
If so, in Edit > Preferences > Advanced is the option to "prevent syncing of iDevices" selected?
Another possibility, in Control Panel > Default Programs > Change Auto Play Settings > what is the system set to do when an iPhone is connected?

4 out of 5 devices connect to Time capsule. Last one to try to connect fails to connect, no matter which device it is.

Prior to problem: All 5 devices (iMac, Mac Air, iPad and (2) iPhone 4) were surfing wirelessly on Airport express.
Replaced AE with Time Capsule.
Problem: Wife's iPhone could not connect to T.C. Other 4 devices connect without problem. Wife's iPhone can surf other wireless networks. After doing a total shut down of all devices and restart of each, starting with 3rd party router, then T.C., then each device one at a time... wife's iPhone can connect, but Mac Air can not. Observed that in each case, the one that can't connect is the last one to be restarted and attempt to connect. Did this a 3rd time. I chose my iPhone to be the last to try to connect . My iPhone can't connect but all other devices are connected. Every case: last to connect can't connect.
Steps taken before realizing it was the "last device to try connecting" (back when I thought it was simply my wife's iPhone): Wifi Off/On. "Forget Network." Reset Network Settings. Power iPhone Off/On. Power T.C. Off/On. Turned T.C. wireless security Off/On. All these were done multiple times.
It appears there is no hardware issue since all are capable of connecting to T.C., just not at the same time. I don't know much about protocols and addresses. Could it be that T.C. is fouling up the assignment of an address or channel or route or whatever to the 5th device that tries to connect? Is the 5th device left without a address, channel or route to the T.C.?
My security is WPA2 Personal. It's on. The password is alphanumeric 9 characters. On my iPhone that can't connect, the satus wheel is spinning continuously beside my network's name. Tapping the blue arrow for more info shows the window that has "Forget this network" at the top, followed by DHCP, BootP and Static. DHCP is selected. The following fields are listed: IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS, Search Domain and Client ID. Most times, all of these fields are blank. Right now, the first two fields are filled in. IP address starts with 169 and subnet mask is 255.255.0.0
Please help.

Right now, the first two fields are filled in. IP address starts with 169 and subnet mask is 255.255.0.0
That is auto IP and means the device was not able to pick up an IP from the dhcp server.
I am scratching my head.. it is not one I have seen with Mac stuff or on these columns since I started answering questions.. it is seen in mixed environments fairly often that stuff doesn't play nice with each other. But Mac - Apple has shown fairly consistent wireless functionality.
Is the TC brand new? Did you ring Apple and ask if they can sort it?
When you are using 100% apple environment, to me that is their job to figure out.
For what you can do, I would try and flash the TC back to 7.5.2 firmware. I have heard people say the latest TC that is not allowed but have a go.. if you run Lion certainly download and use exclusively 5.6 airport utility.
Is the TC set to router or bridge? Is the TC the only router?
Could you bypass at least the issue for now using the airport express plugged into the TC as an AP??
