Disable automatically jumping to import screen?

I'm not sure whether this issue occurs with my cameras or only with my iPhone, frankly it is not a problem with the camera because I usually plug a camera into the computer for one and only one reason. But, I know it occurs with an iPhone, which I rarely care about as a camera.
What happens is I plug in the iPhone for whatever reason, usually to charge it, and whatever I was working on in iPhoto is irrecoverably interrupted by an unwanted "Import" screen. It's like a sick joke, as though I were a supervillain and iPhoto and iPhone were my very idiotic assistants.
"Here, we found some pictures of your car in a parking lot. There's also a picture of a Bentley you saw at the airport and wanted to MMS to your buddy. We figure you'd much rather import these than continue identifying the faces in your concert pictures, or cropping those poster prints, so I went ahead and threw away your current task to bring you these. If you tell us to go away, we'll make you go back to the beginning to pick up your other work, so we'll still laugh at you."
What's really funny is that it does this even when there are no pictures to import. So it takes you away from a real task to present you with a screen where you can't do anything.
Does anyone know of a way to make this behavior stop? I see plenty of discussion on here of how to get iPhoto not to launch automatically, but that is not the problem. iPhoto is already running. I just want iPhoto to either not jump directly to the iPhone import photos screen, or not acknowledge the iPhone at all.

I can't locate such an option precisely.
When I go into iPhoto preferences, under General, the only thing with a drop-down is "Connecting camera opens:" with choices of iPhoto, Image Capture, and No Application. I have it set to No Application. However, this is still happening.
I see that in 10.6.2, Image Capture has been modified, it no longer has a preference window, but each connected device shows up. When I click my iPhone in that application, it also has it set to, no application. I really wish that I could find the option that you are describing.

  • Automatic jump to previous screen when an arrow on left appears

    There is an arrow (left hand side of screen, mid way down) that keeps popping up randomly.  When it appears it causes my email screen or on-line screen to jump back to the previous screen.  Does anyone have any ideas what this is all about?  It is a pain, as it sometimes causes me to loose data, or is time consuming.

    I checked out all the trackpad gestures, but nothing seems to make sense as to why my screen keeps doing what it is doing.
    I think that this "automatic, jumping screen" happens when the Launchpad icon at the bottom of my screen, moves. ?????

  • Disable automatic import when iPhone connected

    2 questions.
    1. When I plug in my iPhone the import screen automatically launches. How do I disable that?
    2. How do I exit out of the import screen without quitting LR entirely and restarting?

    #1 -- Edit > Preferences > General > Import Options > UNCHECK the first option, Show import dialog when a memory card is detected.
    #2 -- Click the Cancel button in the lower right corner OR press Esc.

  • IOS-7 on i-phone 4: apps are automatically enlarged and the screen size does not fit for large apps. How can I disable enlarging the apps?

    I use IOS-7 with I-Phone 4. The icons are enlarged automatically (size on the screen), and the screen cannot show all app icons at the same time. The right side of the applications is cut (when used) because the screen size is insufficient. What can I do to disable this enlargement of the icons?

    Apps are in iTunes, are not part of the backup and when you updated the phone, you need to sync that content back.

  • Disabling Automatic Scene/Clip Detection in iMovie 8.0.5 (iLife '09)

    I can't seem to find a solid answer to this anywhere.
    As far as I can tell, iMovie has taken away the ability to disable Automatic Scene Detection.
    See, I have several old videos that I've ALREADY edited and printed back to tape. Now I'm trying to re-import these old movies so that I can share them online.
    However, when I import from my camera, iMovie is splitting up my edited movies into its own separate clips which are ordered by date.
    It's quite annoying! As far as I can tell I would have to reorganize all of these clips and essentially re-edit them. I decided to just bite the bullet and reorganize my clips, however when doing this, the music in my original movies isn't exactly consistent when jumping between clips.
    That said, is there any way to import video without iMovie automatically splitting up my clips???
    Thanks!

    Yes you would need QT Pro c/w QT7, however for much the same price you can upgrade to Snow Leopard which comes with QTX, which allows video, audio and screen recording without additional plug-ins.

  • IPhone opens Aperture import screen

    For some reason, when I plug my iPhone into my Mac and Aperture is running, it automatically goes to the import screen. I have application launching disabled in Image Capture, so this only happens when Aperture is already open, but I thought it was a strange behavior. When I connect my digital camera, Aperture doesn't react and I have to manually click import if I want to import something. I would like my iPhone to behave the same way with Aperture. When I plug in my iPhone to sync, 99% of the time, it doesn't meant I want to import photos and its annoying to return my phone to it's cradle and have my photo editing interrupted by an import screen.
    Does anybody know if there is a way to disable this auto import feature in Aperture with the iPhone??

  • IPhone opens Aperture's import screen

    For some reason, when I plug my iPhone into my Mac and Aperture is running, it automatically goes to the import screen. I have application launching disabled in Image Capture, so this only happens when Aperture is already open, but I thought it was a strange behavior.

  • In the component overview screen of CO01 I want  to disable all  the field in  screen of table control.I want to make it as output screen only.

    Hi all
      In the component overview screen of CO01 I want  to disable all  the field in  screen of table control.I want to make it as output screen only.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rajib.

    Isn't that just exactly what transaction CO02 does? CO01 is for creating production orders so what sense does it make to have it display mode only?
    Maybe your goal is to stop then end user changing the component assignment that is automatically  detected by the system. If so, personally I think a better starting point would be PP configuration or user authorizations rather than looking to change the screen by whatever method. As we don't know what you are trying to achieve it's hard to offer much more advice maybe all you need is to change transaction to CO02

  • Disabling Automatic Updates

    Hi...
    Adobe's Automatic Updater has been driving me crazy... have all the latest updates but it insists on updating them again and again and downloading a 350Mb plus file... so, a search on Google produced this site with simple instructions on how to turn it off:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402251
    A few caveats though:
    1/ Let the program run to the final screen
    2/ 'Preferences' is not a tab but more of a link on the left of the screen
    3/ Maybe disabling Automatic Update is enough... but i unchecked all the programs as well...
    Cheers... Hope it works! Time will tell!!

    Hi,
    If they use a vulnerability scanner, it has a list of all known oracle's vulnerabilities and as long as you won't have patched the DB they will be seen by the scanner, and there's nothing you can do to avoid this unless you can work without network.
    You can use sol.beach solution and explain your IT team that connections can only come from your local PC. If this solution is not possible, removal might be the only way to stop a vulnerability scanner.

  • Brush tool automatically jumps when near window edge

    Our company is migrating from CS1 to CS3 (finally!). We found a curious issue with the brush tool in Photoshop: in CS1, when you click near the edge of your open file window, it just draws to that point - and stops. That's it. In CS3, when you click near the edge of your open file window, it automatically jumps out / scrolls the window in the direction in which your line is traveling. Is there a way to disable this function?

    Have the same problem. Happens with erasure tool as well.
    Get near the edge and it jumps/scrolls quickly to the edge of the window/bounding box/canvas. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING and stupid idea.
    How does one disable this function or reset the tolerance, whatever? If you do know please reply to this forum.
    Thank you.

  • How to disable automatic sign in from Skype for ma...

    Hi, all, there is a way to disable automatic sign in from skype for mac
    1. Simply turn off internet connection of your computer.
    2. Launch skype 
    Skype cannot sign in and you will get error screen, there you can sign in from your different account.
    Peace

    Another option is to sign out of the current account (under File), then uptick the box that says "Sign me in when Skype starts" before signing in again from whichever account takes your fancy.
