How can I change the actions taken when I insert an SD card to my iMac?

When I insert an SD card in my iMac it copies all the photos in a directory and deletes them from SD card.
How can I change that? I just want to view my pics and then be asked if copied or not.
Thanks in advance.

You have the option in iPhoto to delete or keep the photos on the SD card or Camera when the photos are finished importing into iPhoto.
To change what happens when you plug in an SD card or Camera you will need to open Image Capture in your Applications Folder.
In Image Capture:
1 select and highlight the SD card in the list of Devices
2 click on the pointers in blue at the bottom for Connecting this camera/card/device
3  change the action for to any one of the other options there, No Application (if for example you want to open it with Finder) or to Preview (if for example you want Preview to open) the SD card.

    Rolfjuelg I am sorry but Lightroom does not support custom installation locations through the Creative Cloud.  You can find more details at Lightroom and Creative Cloud FAQ.

  • How can I change the date "taken" on individual photos in iPhoto?

    How can I change the date "taken" on individual photos in iPhoto? I have some photos that were scanned and the date "taken" info displays the day the picture was scanned as opposed to the date it was actually taken. Is there some way to edit this information?

    In iPhoto '11 on your Mac use the command "Photos > Adjust Date and Time" and enable the "Modify original files" option, if you want to set the date of the originals to the correct date as well.

  • How can I change the settings so when I delete an email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad.....very sick of deleting the same emails two times

    How can I change the settings wit mail so that when I delete my Verizon email from my iPhone it will also delete from my iPad too.... Seems like I shouldn't have to delete my email in three places...iPhone ..iPad ...and desktop

    Don't know which email host you are using, but if this is a POP account, you can't do it. If IMAP, then deleting one email should delete it on all other devices.

  • HT3069 How can I change the content list when I change residence country?

    I bought an Apple TV in Mexico but came to came to the US to work on a project, so I brought my Apple TV with me. I already changed the credit card to an American one and all the country settings, but it still displays the Mexican list. How can I change the movie content?

    Purchases will be tied to the original account. Your US account will not have access.
    If your Apple TV is not displaying US content make sure the Apple TV location settings are correct. DNS should be on automatic.

  • How can i change the code in when new form instance trigger using JDAPI

    Hi all,
    Can anyone tell me how can i use JDAPI to modify the when-new-form-instance trigger in all my forms,coz we have around 500 FMB's ,if this is possible by using jdapi it will be better for us..
    Thanks in advance..
    Najeeb

    Hi Najeeb,
    The code I've given you should cover the basic steps - you will need to have a basic knowledge of Java if you want to use the JDAPI, there's no way around that unless you go and buy one of the off-the-shelf products for this kind of thing (I think there's one called orcltoolbox..?)
    I've written an application that does all kinds of things to Forms specific to our needs, so it's a bit tricky to just pull out the code you need, but again, the basics will be:
    String formName="C:\some_dir\some_form.fmb";
    FormModule mForm=FormModule.open(formName);
    Trigger myWNFITrig=Trigger.find(mForm,"WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE");
    String myText=myWNFITrig.getTriggerText();
    And there you have your trigger text, to do with what you please. You could put this code in the main() method of one class if you want to keep things really simple - but see how you get on, if you have any more specific questions, do come back.
    Eric - that's a very good point about using Regular Expressions. I haven't used them in my JDAPI app because I wanted to keep all my .fmbs 6i-compatible for the short-term, and a posting I saw somewhere recommended sticking to Java 1.3. Which rules out the regex facility, which only appeared in Java 1.4. Now, though, I think I needn't have worried - it surely shouldn't matter which version of Java I use to make the changes to the .fmbs. My stupid!

  • How can I change the background colour when working on a doc in full screen view (pages)?

    Recently I have been working on docs without the distraction of having to see my desktop around my page file by using the full screen view in pages. I do find the contrast to an all black screen too harsh though and it makes my eyes more tired than seeing the clutter of my desktop around the page. Is there any way I can change the background colour?
    Any help much appreciated!

    When you are in Full screen mode move the cursor up to the top to show the Format bar. Then look to the far right. There you'll see Background  and a rectangle. Click on the rectangle and change the colour.
    For information on Pages download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu.

  • How can I change the startup language when I use the internet?

    I have the macbook pro that i have just bought in Russia. The reason I bought it here is because I wanted to have both the English and Russian letters on the keyboard. Apart from that I don't care much for the Russian system, since I have always used an American version mac.
    Anyway, on to the question. I have English and Russian setup as my two input languages on the computer. I know how to switch between them, and everything is fine. But, I have come across a problem that I never encountered before as all my macs have been purchased in America before this one. Every time I open a new internet window, tab, new program such as skype, it is always the Russian language that is selected, even if I have been using the American keyboard prior to that. It starts getting frustrating, especially when I get used to to typing something, and then without looking continue to type in a different page and look up to see a bunch of Russian letters making no sense.
    I hope there is a solution to that, and I won't just have to get annoyed with this for the rest of my relationship with my new macbook pro!

    i should have read the post more carefully
    thanks for the clarification, Tom !

  • How can I change the display name when I call someone?

    I recently gave a re-provisioned 8300 to a new employee. I wiped out the phone, and re-setup the phone in our exchange server to match the new user's settings.
    The only problem he's having is that when he calls someone, the display name shows the previous users name as the person calling.
    How do I change that?
    Thanks in advance,

    You don't say what model the device is, but if GSM, make sure the SIM card has not been edited to the preview name.

  • How can I change the frequency of when Time Machine reminds me to backup?

    I used to get a pop up every ten days telling me that it's been ten days since I backed up Time Machine, but since the last time I backed it up, it's started notifitying me everyday. I'm just wondering if there's a way I can change the frequency, since I usually just back it up every few months and I don't keep my external hardrive hooked up all the time.
    Thanks!

    That's not a particularly wise backup strategy. You should backup at least once per week. Time Machine is designed to backup hourly if left alone. You should have a permanent backup drive that remains connected to the computer at all times except, perhaps, when you are traveling.
    If you disconnect the backup drive then Time Machine will start to save snapshots on your computer until the backup drive is reconnected at which time the snapshots are transferred to your backup drive and erased from the computer's drive.
    You can use a utility such as TimeMachineEditor 3.0.3 to change Time Machine's backup interval.

  • How can i change the default module when lr5 opens

    lr5 on my win7 pc opens in the print module.  how do i change this to open in the library module?

    Lightroom re-opens at the same place, i.e. Catalog, Module, file, etc where you were working when you last closed the program. If you wish to have the program open in the Library module then you need to return there before you close/shut down the program.

  • How can I change the number displayed when I make a call/send a sms? Despite transferring my old number across to my iphone messages.and Facetime are made from the original sim number and not mine. Any ideas?

    I've transferred my old number by PAT code to my new iphone and most of the time it works fine however there are problems when replying to tests and using Facetime when the original sim muber is displayed. My frined can text me on my correct number but if I reply she receives it from the different number. Also when using Facetime the number displayed is the one the came with the iphone. Anyone know what to do to get the number id correct?

    Tell her to contact her carrier and get a new phone number.

  • How can I change the viewer settings when I publish an Aperture gallery to my iCloud Photostream ?.

    I used to rely on MobileMe to share photo galleries with clients and it worked great, but now with the iCloud, I can create a public album on my iCloud - PhotoStream (that does not need an Apple ID to access) but it seems to be limited to just an asymetrical mosaic viewer interface that does not offer any titles or original exposure titles. One,- it looks more like an artsy vacation photo gallery than something a client could easily compare similar photos and Two , there are no identifiers that the client could use to relate his or her photo choice. It would also be helpful to add notes which I beleive is only possible on a non-public album. I would appreciate any tips,  thank you

    Don't know about Aperture, but...
    If you're adding the photos from iPhoto on your Mac put the photos in an album and arrange them in the order you want. Use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Set: Date menu option to give all of the photos the same date but with a 1 minute interval.
    Add them to the Photo Stream and they should remain in the order you want.

  • How can I change the action associated with the Retake Quiz button on the Results page?

    The button takes you back to the first quiz slide, which would be good except my quiz is based on the scenario on the preceding screen.  I want the retake to go back to the Scenario slide.

    Which version do you use?
    The solution by Firas101 was certainly necessary to extend the quiz scope in former versions, but has the disadvantage that the score of that button will be included in the total score and taken into account to calculate the system variables shown in the Score Slide.

  • How can I change the song order when burning a CD?

    I'm trying to burn about 20 songs to a CD. However they are in alphabetical order in the burn folder which I don't want. I want then in the original order they were performed. How do I re-order them before burning?
    A related question: eventually I will add them to iTunes and I'll want to add info such as the artist's name, album name, etc (these were recorded live by me so they're "blank" audio files). Is there a way to add this info prior to importing into iTunes so I don't have to manually add the same info to each track?
    Thanks in advance!

    Here's what I ended up doing:
    I took the blank songs and added them one-by-one as WAV files into iTunes. Then I modified the "get info" summaries and added the artist name and album name to each. But now I had these huge WAV files... too large to burn back to my iPod. So I created a playlist in iTunes for the 20 songs and then burned them to a CD. Then I deleted the songs from iTunes, then re-imported them from the CD.
    Kind of convoluted, but it worked and didn't really take THAT long. I now have the songs on my iPod with all the artist info and a backup CD with the same info and as WAV files.
