Disable auto-start

How do I disable Iphoto auto-start? I am referring to it detecting a camera or images on a storage device.  I do not use Iphoto or wish to.( OS 10.8, MacBook Air) in fact, can I just uninstall it without consequences to Aperture? Thanks!

From within iPhoto, go to the "iPhoto" menu and go to "Preferences."  Under "Connecting camera opens:" select "No application."  Now iPhoto should not launch when you plug in your camera.

    how do i disable auto-start in Adobe Quick Launch; elements 3.0

    I guess i don't remember that in photoshop elements 3, so could you explain a little more about what your asking?
    What operating system are you using?
    Unless your talking about the welcome screen that gives a choice of what to start when ckicking on the pse 3 shortcut (welcome screen, organizer or editor)
    Window>Welcome in the editor or organizer
    Or auto launching the adobe photo downloader when you have a camera or camera card connected.

  • Auto Start Disable

    This is ridiculous. I shouldn't have to be a programmer to not have Adobe videos auto start as soon as the page opens on CNN or whatever.  At work I often want to have a moment. Or if there's a text story below, I want to read the story and not view the video at all.
    WHY CAN'T I DISABLE AUTO START??

    Happy,
    Your iMac (and Mac OS X) has excellent support for "multiple users". I would suggest reading up on the concept. Just click on Help in the Finder and search for "multiple users". Lots of information.
    This way, your son can have IM launch at start up, while you won't even have access to it.
    It will also prevent him from mucking up "your" computer with his "necessary" add-ons. For example, LimeWire.

  • I am need to disable an auto start program on my iTunes on my mini Mac

    I am need to disable an auto start program on my iTunes on my mini Mac

    Is there a way to have itunes delete the WMA file after creating mp3 copy?
    No.  But after the MP3s are created and you are satisfied that things went OK, just delete the WMAs manually and say "Good Riddance."
    You can use an MP3 in multiple players, but you need to turn off any features that automatically change or move files, since one player will change something that messes up the other:
    In iTunes, that means go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced and uncheck "Keep..." and "Copy..." 
    In Windows Media Player, that means go to Tools > Options > Library, and uncheck everything that starts with a verb such as "Rename...," "Rearrange...," etc.

  • Disable auto sign in at start-up for Lync client 2013

    Hi,
    I want to stop the Lync client from signing in automatically at start-up.
    Is there a way to do so?
    We are using Lync client 2013.
    Thanks in advance

    Not as far as I am aware (at least on a PC that the user is logged onto their domain account with) . The only option you have is to stop the Lync client from starting up with Windows (see here - explains both options dialog and reg key http://blogs.technet.com/b/rischwen/archive/2013/06/20/lync-2013-client-auto-start-registry-key.aspx)
    If it's a shared PC, you can try this: http://allunifiedcom.wordpress.com/2012/04/12/prevent-lync-from-auto-saving-of-credentials-e-g-multi-user-pc/

  • How do I disable auto-launch of third party applications (i.e. TeamViewer)  at startup?

    I've loaded a few third party applications like TeamViewer which installed themselves as startup applications which I cannot disable in the system preferences login items.  The obvious answer is don't load these apps but that being said, how do I disable them now that they are loaded without uninstalling to prevent them from launching automatically during startup.  I can quit them after they launch but I'd like to prevent them from auto-starting during startup.  Any insight would be appreciated.

    Look in TeamViewers preferences for this:
    Uncheck it.

  • Virtual keyboard auto starts in Windows 8.1 Pro

    Even if the toolbar is turned off and the toolbar is locked, and under ease of use the checkbox is unchecked, this pesky icon keeps coming back. Is there a registry fix... users are complaining. thx!

    Hi,
    Please know that it’s powered by a windows service called Touch keyboard and handwriting 
    pane. Stopping this service will be in result of disabling the on-screen keyboard.
    Let’s try to disable the service related to the touch keyboard:
    1. Press Win+R, type “services.msc“, and press Enter to bring up Services window.
    2. Scroll down  a bit until locate the service called Touch keyboard …
    3. Double click it, first to stop it if it’s running, and then change the Startup type to either Manual or Disable to prevent it from auto-starting next time when computer starts.
    Hope these could be helpful.

  • How to stop the auto-start of log reader agent (replication) right after my database is restored?

    I have the scenario where the SQL server is restored (after migration).
    This database has transactional replication set-up on one of the databases. When I do a manual delete and restore of the database, I see that the replication starts right after the publisher and subscriber are restored.
    Replication agents should not start and run before the integrity checks are completed. How to stop the replication from auto starting right after the migration?
    Thanks in advance - Jebah

    Thanks Pradyothana, I have disabled the logreader, distribution agents through sp_update_job in Tsql script. I have also verified that there are no pending transactions to be replicated to the subscriber, I see that the job is still being executed. Is there
    any other way to disable the jobs?
    Steps I followed
    Started with a Working publication and subscription
    Disabled the jobs (log reader and distribution agents)
    Backed up publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
    Deleted the publication, subscription, publisher and subscriber
    Restored the publisher, subscriber, distribution and msdb
    Enabled the jobs and executed sp_replrestart
    Observations/Issues
    Replication does not work
    Replication monitor does not show any error
    Jobs are shows as enabled but not started in job monitor
    Not able to start/stop the log reader and synchronization manually.
    I am not sure if I have missed something while restoring the db.
    Thanks in advance

  • How to turn off iTunes auto-start when iPhone connected?

    The option "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is disabled (grayed out) in iTunes 10. The grayed-out check box is unchecked, yet iTunes starts every time I plug in my iPhone 3G. I would like to be able to plug in my phone without iTunes starting. Is there a way?

    Right. Un-checking the preference to prevent auto-sync re-enabled the auto-start option. Then I was able to check and un-check the auto-start option and re-check the prevent auto-sync preference. Now all seems well. Despite appearances (the un-checked option), the internal setting was in the wrong state and twiddling it seems to have set things right.
    What a boneheaded user interface, where items on widely separated parts of the UI affect each other invisibly.

  • Disabling auto-update doesn't work

    I need to stop at Firefox 14 for now, and need to prevent auto-updates.
    In Firefox 14.0.1 when I disable auto-update by setting 'never check for updates', and/or use about:config to clear 'app.update.url', both settings are ignored. When I close and re-open Firefox, auto-update is again enabled, and the update URL is again set.
    Recommendations?

    As it turns out, it's not a matter of 'preferences not being saved'.
    It's Firefox spontaneously changing my preferences at start-time.
    I've been testing; here's what i discover.
    1. I install FF14, start it the first time, and disable auto-update (via Tools/Options/Advanced)
    At this point - prefs.js in my profile now starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    2. now I exit FF.
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    3. i restart FF (#1)
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    4. i close FF
    prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    5. I restart FF (#2)
    NOW prefs.js has dropped those 2 initial lines, and starts with user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-........etc
    Firefox is spontaneously changing my prefs.js.
    Before this series of tests I adjusted the prefs.js in all other profiles in this XPSP3 machine to start with
    user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
    user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
    This is obnoxious.
    I expect better from Mozilla.
    Suggestions?

  • How can I auto start a slideshow?

    Is there a way to auto start a photo slideshow? I'd like to skip the index screen and go directly to the slideshow.

    iweb1 slideshow can be directly linked, so if you have iweb1; you may like to try that.
    now to the bad news, iweb2 slideshow can be directly linked, only if users' browser allow pop-up windows. however, most people DO block pop-up windows.
    here is example - please disable your browser's pop-up windows for it to work:
    http://hdl.50webs.com/Direct_SS/Photos.html
    that because iweb2 slideshow requires two open windows: photo page window and slideshow page window. slideshow gets the photo from photo page, while photo page is opened. slideshow will stop working when photo page is closed.
    in my example, there is one added line of javascript in the photo page ,js file to start slideshow (five seconds after the photo page loaded):
    setTimeout('widget1.playSlideshow()', 5000);

  • How to stop Dragon Gaming Center's auto-start?

    Dragon Gaming Center is a good monitor, but i only want to start it before gaming. i cant find anything about Dragon Gaming Center in msconfig.exe and services.msc, but it already can auto-start. How to stop it?

    Nevermind, found it and fixed it.
    After some googling around further   I found this page which said it was started by a scheduled task. ( second result was shouldiremoveit site, but I can't post external links here )
    So I went to taskscheduler and found it through the active task list at the bottom. (make sure you run it as administrator if you want to change it)
    It is called "MSI_Dragon Gaming Center" and engages at logon. So I thought, "Well, why not simply disable it". Well, as it happens, the taskscheduler gets a fit and looses it's marbles (seriously! scheduled task lists seem to get flushed) when you try to disable it (right click on it for context menu) because somehow it was assigned by MSI to be done by an incorrect user, named "User" or "Users". I can't remember exactly anymore. The former does not exist by default so some MSI dev might have forgotten to replace  a systemvariable reference. The latter is a user-group, not a user! It may have caused the fault because I have a dutch language pack, and that group is named differently on my system. It's aka "Built-In\Users" in english. Anyway, correcting this was the fix that allows it to be disabled/edited.
    So, I opened the properties of the task (again right click for context menu) and changed the executing user to my personal useraccount. When that succeeded I was able to disable the task succesfully, and it didn't start at  login anymore.

  • How to PERMANENTLY disable auto-run write trials of qttask.exe and outbound

    I installed QuickTime player on my WinXP.
    As I found out my firewall pops up frequently since then informing me that qttaks wants to write itself in the auto-start folder.
    Furthermore I observed several internet connection attempts.
    So QT want to call come to Moms server at apple?, eh?
    This is nasty and really annoying similar to MS.
    How can I disable both PERMANENTLY?
    I did not found options for that.

    It is probably trying to load the "Content Guide" and you can turn this off in the Player Preferences.
