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,
Nathan C.

    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.

  • 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.

    You may have an incomplete iTunes installation.  Uninstall your iTunes and Re-install again.
    If this still fails, try the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:

    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)

    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.

  • 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.

  • Don't want IPhoto to open when I plug in camera

    Where can I set Iphoto to NOT auto launch when I plug in USB camera? I would rather just preview first and then import the few I want to save. Yes, I can just quit Iphoto but that's dumb.

    Open the Image Capture application in the Applications folder and turn off the option to have iPhoto open when a camera is connected in Image Capture's preferences.

  • When I plug in my iPhone 4S into my computer the iTunes program doesn't open.  Only the Music iTunes opens

    I have not synced my iPhone for some months.  When I plugged it into my computer the iTunes program does not launch.  There is an iTunes icon installed but this only opens as a Music/video program.  There is no side panel where I select my device, account, apps, etc.  I have tried re-installing iTunes but there is no difference.  AutoPlay opens when I plug in the iPhone offering file, picture etc sharing but nothing elso opens.

  • How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now

    How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now and I only purchased my new iMac in December 2012
    Thanks....

    Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords.  Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up.  That will give you the ID no. and password.

    You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    You should still have your profile folder, so when you install 3. you will get your bookmarks and other user data back.
    There is a third party version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
