Disable auto launch of iphoto when iphone is connected to mac

Hey everyone, anyone know how to prevent iphoto from launching when I connect my iphone? Thank you.
Ken

Of course, as anyone who has needed to Restore their iPhone, discovered that their backup was corrupt (happens quite often), and thus lost the pics they snapped with the iPhone, can tell you - you may be better off letting iPhoto launch, importing then deleting the pics from the iPhone, and syncing them back via iTunes so they're not lost for good. Just my 2¢.

STOP auto-launch of iPhoto when Mem card connected

How do I stop iPhoto from launching when I plug in my cellphone?
This is really a pain, because every time I try to eject the cellphone (memory card), iPhoto crashes, then re-launches and re-mounts the memory card, again and again and again.
STOP iPhoto, Stop !

**** WHOOPS !!! ****
Now when I try to eject the cellphone, it says "<item> in use and cannot be ejected"
You have to quit iPhoto first, then eject it.
THEN, after a while, you get an Error Dialog message on screen which says "Try quitting application and try again" -- BUT IT DOES NOT SAY WHICH APPLICATION TO QUIT (G'dam Apple stupidity)
What other Apps "MIGHT BE" using the cellphone memory card to prevent it's ejection ? (iPhoto is NOT running).
Now, when I eject the volume, it disappears for a while, then the Error "In Use" message appears, and the volume re-mounts.
Arrrggghhh..

How do I turn off auto-launch of iPhoto when the iPhone is connected

I hate it that whenever I connect my iPhone to my MBP iPhoto automatically launches. Any help is appreciated.
Jacob

To do that follow these steps
Go into Applications
Open Image Capture
Next to the blue apple to left hand corner, click on image capture
Go into Preferences
At the top of the window that opens, change option: When A Camera is connected, Open:
Change the drop down menu to no application
That should prevent iphoto from opening when phone is connected.

Hi how do I de enable an auto launch of iPhoto when a memory card is plugged in to Mac book pro

Hi can anyone help to stop iPhoto launching directly into the memory card or camera import utility when either is plugged in.
Greatful

It's in the General Preferences of iPhoto.

Disable iTunes from automatically opening when iPhone is connected

Hi, I use a windows xp comp with itunes for windows at work and whenever I just want to charge my iphone, itunes always automatically opens. I've disabled automatic syncing in edit>pref but the iPhone summary screen doesn't allow disabling "automatically open itunes when this iphone is detected" like itunes for my macbook at home has. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's such a pain to have itunes open and load everytime i'm just charging my iphone at work.

Try this:
Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
Look for "Apple Mobile Device", right-click and "stop", then right-click "properties". Under "Startup type" choose "Disabled".
Do the reverse if you want it to work again.

Stop iTunes 11.0 from launching automatically when iPhone is connected?

Hi all -
Just got an iPhone 5 and connected it to my computer to charge. Discovered upon doing so that my version of iTunes is now upgraded to 11.0. How do I stop iTunes 11.0 from automatically launching when I connect my iPhone? I can't find an appropriate box to uncheck. In the old version of iTunes, there were different things to uncheck for stopping automatic syncing and automatic launching. Is this still the case? If so I'd like to prevent launching but keep syncing.
Thanks.

Hummm, that's odd. I always have "Automatically sync when iPhone is connected" unchecked, it has been working fine untill this morning, out of the blue when I plug the iPhone 5 in, **** iTunes launchs itself Then an error message said the iTune could not connect to the iPhone5, meanwhile the iPhone keeps beeping because of that.
It seems like Apple loves all these obnoxious automatic this and that features, they do it in iPhoto, XCode.... everything they make. Personally I like to have more control of what I want to do, I really HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!! all the automatic these and that.

ITunes 9 doesn't launch when iPhone is connected

As the subject says. Updated to iTunes 9, updated iPhone to 3.1. When iPhone gets connected iTunes doesn't launch automatically. I should add though, that my ipod shuffle when connected does auto launch iTunes.

Apparently this is a bug in iTunes 9. Hopefully their will be an update shortly to fix this minor annoyance.

Launching PhotoShop every-time iPhone is connected to Windows

Every-time I connect an iPhone to a Windows XP Professional machine Photoshop is launched (as well as iTunes). How can I stop Photoshop, or any image application, being launched when the iPhone is connected?
I've tried turning off automatically sync when iPhone is connected in iTunes, but all this does is stop iTunes from automatically launching - Photoshop continues to launch.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

When an iPhone contains photos captured by the iPhone, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
Or does PhotoShop also launch automatically when your iPhone doesn't contain any photos captured by the iPhone?
If not, one answer is importing these photos to your computer as you would with photos captured by any digital camera and then remove/delete the photos from the camera or in this case, the iPhone's camera storage. Any of these photos you want available on your iPhone, add these photos to other photos transferred from your computer to the iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
Apple computers include such a setting with the Image Capture application included with OS X which can be used to import photos from a digital camera without needing to install the camera's software or using Apple's iPhoto application or a 3rd party application such as PhotoShop. Apple's iPhoto application also includes the same setting as does iTunes.
If PhotoShop does not include such a setting, it should be included with Windows somewhere.

When iPhone is connected to PC, it shows in itunes but Autoplay does not open for me to copy photos. I tried the Control Panel, changing Autoplay settings but no use. I use a Windows Vista. Please help! All my little ones' pictures are on my iPhone 3GS

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?
HELP!

A bit confused by your statement

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.

ITunes 11.1.5 doesn't open automatically when iPhone 5 connected

I have tried checking and unchecking "open iTunes when iPhone is connected" and that hasn't helped.

I’ve found another solution for those where this doesn’t resolve it.
From user Crosbie at MacForums.com
You can extract iTunes Helper from the iTunes package, if you like, to replace the absent one.
It can be found by right-clicking the iTunes app and choosing 'Show Package Contents'; then navigate down to the 'MacOS' folder. You can then drag it to your open 'login items' window.

This solved the issue for me, where unchecking and re-checking didn’t.

ITunes opens when iPhone is connected even if "Auto sync" is disabled?

I use my iMac (10.9.3) at home to Sync with my iPhone (7.1.1) to keep a full backup copy. I have the setting "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" active, and up to recently this worked nicely. However, I think since the update to iTunes 11.2.x there seems to be a problem:
- when I am not at home, I use my MBP (also 10.9.3 and iTune 11.2.2) to charge the iPhone.
- in contrast to earlier versions of iTunes, connecting the iPhone to the MBP causes iTunes to open. It is NOT possible to sync because the iPhone is connected to the iTunes library on the iMac.
- when I disable the iTunes option "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" on the MBP, the next time I connect the iPhone to the iMac iTunes does not open. And when I open it manually and "mount" the iPhone, the iTunes option "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" is disabled.
Any idea to solve this problem?
It seems that the iTunes option "Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected" is now stored on the iPhone?

Meanwhile I can answer my own question :
Go to iTunes Prefs => Devices Tab => activate "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically"
The drawback is that if you want to charge two iPhones with an iMac and an MPB, and sync one of the iPhones with the iMac and the other with the MBP, you need to take manual action.

Prevent iPhoto from opening when iPhone is connected?

Does anyone know if there is a way to keep iPhoto from opening when my iPhone is connect BUT do the opposite when my digital still cam is connected? I like having iPhone auto-launch for my canon cam, but not when I connect the iPhone.

I believe I've come across an article by someone who set up a script to run when a camera is connected, and the script detects what kind of camera and then launches or not launches iPhoto as desired. Yeah, here it goes:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080301133957211
Seems overkill to me---I find it easy enough to manually launch iPhoto when I connect a camera, but hey, to each their own.
