How can I disable iPhoto automatic launch?

Hi,
I do not use iPhoto to import my digital images. How can I disable the automatic launch when I plug my camera or card reader?
Thanks!

Hi Paul,
To do this just open Image Capture, open its preferences and then under the general tab you can select the option of "When a camera is connected, open:"
Just select no application and that should do it.

  • How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

    How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
    Windows Computer

    1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
    setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
    just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
    A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
    '''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
    2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
    it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
    It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
    Ask questions, or go somewhere else.

  • How can i disable the automatic move command?

    how can i disable the automatic move command?  when i choose the move command it automatically moves whatever element that's selected, using the previous dimension used to move something.  Big Problem.

    went back to see if Preview was checked - it isn't.
    It happens when we double-click on the arrow to open the move dialouge box, but the box doesn't open - instead the selected item is automatically moved #!@**
    that's what we need to stop... any ideas?

  • How can I prevent iPhoto from launching when I insert an SD card

    I recently upgraded to a new iMac retina and am having trouble disabling iPhoto from launching when an SD card is inserted.
    I have gone to iPhoto setting and disabled iPhoto from launching when a camera is connected.
    I have also gone into image capture and selected no application as the hidden option for SD card actions when inserted.
    Unfortunately the issue persists... two questions: can I do a terminal level disable to prevent iPhoto from launching or can I remove iPhoto from my computer?

    Have you tried this?
    Open the Image Capture app
    Select your SD Card
    Click the little widget in the bottom right corner of the window
    Select the program to launch, or "No application"
    it worked for me

  • How can I stop iPhoto from launching automatically

    Whenever I start up my Mac, iPhoto launches automatically. How can I prevent this to happen?

    Depends - if you have any FAT formatted device attached to your Mac then you must either disconnect it or in the iPhoto preferences set action when a camera is connected to do nothing
    If you have told the system to launch iPhoto on start up then you need to now tell it not to (right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock and see if that is checked)
    There also is a place to set start up items in system preferences

  • When I click on Firefox, the page comes up as "work offline" and I have to uncheck this option under "File" before I can get on line. How can I disable this automatic start option "work offline"?

    Firefox starts up "Work offline" and I am notified "Having trouble loading page." I am then advised to "uncheck" the "work offline" option and "retry" getting connected to the internet. I would like Firefox 4 to automatically come up as a Browser on line, just as 3.6 did. How can I achieve this goal? Is there a way to disable the automatic "offline" start-up?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • How can I disable the automatic opening on the Backup Assistant Plus website (and video) every time I connect my Droid 4 to my computer?

    I am a mobile application developer (iOS and Android).
    Our company bought an unlocked phone.
    We have no need for backups.
    Every time I plug our Droid 4 into the host computer (a Mac),
    it automatically opens this website:
    http://products.verizonwireless.com/index.aspx?id=fnd_backupAssistantPlus&vid=1
    This is *REALLY* annoying.
    Is there any way to disable this (and if so, how)?
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    This can be a highly frustrating problem. I just spent 45 minutes working on an email. Nearing the end I go to grab my mouse after typing and accidentally hit mouse 4 and lose everything. This isn't the first time I have lost work or an email. I would say the ONLY reason why there currently lacks a strong feedback against this is because the majority of people do not have mouse 4+5 buttons on their mice. Please add the option to just disable this "feature". It's just far to easy to accidentally hit these buttons accidentally and potentially lose a lot. I don't know anyone who actually uses these buttons anyways.

  • VoiceOver Accessibility, how can I disable the automatic speakerphone / handsfree in a phone call?

    The blind people use VoiceOver for use the iPhone, it's a fantastic assistive software.
    For me, there is a feature that would change.
    If VoiceOver is enable, in a call, the speakerphone / handsfree automatic enable with a proximity sensor. I find it uncomfortable!
    There is any way to disable this feature?
    Can I propose it for the next version of IOS?
    Thanks!

    Hi Zoltan,
    Glad to receive your reply.
    According to your description, could you please tell me where you disable the Intellisense option in VS IDE?
    In addition, I tried to reproduce your issue in my side, I found that when I disable the Intellisense by going to TOOLS->options->Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced->IntelliSense->Set the Disable IntelliSense True.
    And then I type such as the If, there have no the if tabulator key in the code editor, so I suggest you can refer the following screen shot check your issue again.

  • How can I disable iPhoto and use my iPhone / iPad as in Windows?

    I really despise iPhoto and I would like to use my iPhone / iPad just like in Windows where I can drag and drop the photos and videos from my iPhone or iPad as if it's an external hard drive in windows.  iPhoto is the only thing I really truly hate about OSX. 
    Thanks.

    If I understand what you want, maybe these two programs can help:
    Transfer items from IOS device - DiskAid
    Transfer items from IOS device - Touchcopy

    Hello.. I have one problem. I used automator to automaticly sync my photos to iphoto. Now I don't want it any more. How can I disable it?

    If you have iPhoto v9.6.1 then just launch it. Done.
    IF you don't, download it:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • How can I prevent iPhoto from auto-launching when I plug in a card reader?

    When I plug in a card reader, iPhoto assumes that it is being summoned and auto-magically launches itself. I don't want this to happen. I don't want iPhoto to ever launch without my permission, which I might grant once a year or so. Yet, every day I have to cope with it launching multiple times as I attempt to transfer photos to my hard drive. It is a minor annoyance, true, but it is an annoyance.
    My question, then, is how can I make iPhoto stop doing this? I've searched its settings high-and-low, but to no avail. I've searched the System Preferences high-and-low, but to no avail. There must be something I'm missing.
    Help me, Apple Forums, you're my only hope!

    Hi John,
    the next info is on using Image Capture to download the images. In the preferences though, you can choose to have nothing open when the camera is connected.
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

  • How can I disable Firefox from automatically opening on system startup on my Mac - unchecking the "open at login" does not work?

    We have Firefox 10.o on our Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8. I prefer using Firefox as my browser but my husband prefers Safari for now because of a long history of bookmarks and saved information he doesn't have time to re-do. He is tired of Firefox automatically opening when we start up the laptop, and even when we uncheck the "open at login" it still opens at login every time. He is about to uninstall it because of this. How can we disable? It does NOT show up in our account on the Mac OS as an application that starts at login, so we can't disable it there.

    For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
    1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

  • How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

    how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
    Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup
