How can I get iPhoto to NOT automatically import photos when I plug in my phone?

I use iPhoto to do quick, simple touch-ups to my pictures, but when I am in the middle of editing and plug in my phone just to charge, it automatically begins a new import and takes me away from my work, which is beyond annoying.  If I want to import my cell phone pictures, I am savvy enough with the program to do it manually when I want to.  I have tried navigating 'Preferences' and there appears to be no way to change this, which is a poorly missed feature.  Help?

iPhoto doesn't import anything unless you tell it to. All it's doing is offering to import. No you can't stop that window appearing. You'll just have to click cancel.
iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
is the route to the developers for feature requests.

  • How can I get iPhoto to print date on photo?

    is it possible to get iphoto to print the date on a photo?

    No.
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • How do I get iphoto to load instead of imovie when I plug in my Kodak Zi8?

    When I first got my Kodak Zi8 I did not like the way it loaded iPhoto and imported my video into it when I plugged it into my Macbook, so I switched it to loading iMovie instead. However, having read up on it, I would prefer it to go back to the default of loading iPhoto and importing my videos directly into that program. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Any suggestions? This should be easy, but when I plug in my Zi8 it mounts a hard drive but doesn't associate a program with it.

    hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.
    *please go to the firefox ''menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
    *also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
    *finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • How can I get the date to automatically fill in when I start typing it?

    I upgraded to Windows 7 and had to reload my MS Office 2007 program back into my computer.  Now, when I am in a word document and I begin to type in the date it no longer fills in the day and year after I type in the month.  I tried to edit my
    preferences but I don't seem to be able to find it in the program.

  • How can I get back the data I had before my itunes restored my new phone?

    Plot:
    I broke my iphone 5s.
    I bought a new iphone 5s.
    I started using the phone right away, without restoring it.
    I just connected the phone to my computer and I allowed my itunes to restore it, unknowingly clearing all the current data on it.
    SO~
    Question:
    I have all my OLD old data, but how can I get back all the contacts and photos I put on my new phone before I restored it. I mean it has to be somewhere, right?

  • How can I get iPhoto on my Mac to recognize my new iPhone 6?  (iTunes does recognize it!)

    I got one of the new iPhone 6s (the smaller version) and it's been working great.  I was able to restore an old backup from my 4S and transferred everything over.  iTunes recognizes the new phone and I've had no problems bringing files within apps on the phone to the computer like before.  HOWEVER, iPhoto doesn't even recognize the phone so I can't import new photos off the phone.  How can I get iPhoto to recognize it?  I tried searching for the phone as a drive via iPhoto and that didn't work either.

    So says my computer.  Honestly, I'm not tech-wavy in the least so I just take its word for things.

  • How can I get WebAS to not start-up after restarting Windows?

    I would like to not have my WebAS auto start after I reboot windows.
    I found of couple of options in Configuration tool but they did not stop it.
    We have a firewall product that I cannot disable (per security policy), but I can terminate it once I get the desktop.  However by that time WebAS has started and encounters blocks from firewall, and once this happens, half the time it causes my jcontrol.exe to result in NIETIMEOUT messages and once THAT happens I have to uninstall and reinstall EVERYTHING. 
    So, how can I configure WebAS to not automatically start-up after rebooting windows?  I have searched help.sap.com and looked for options in Visual Admin and Configure tools.

    Easier than it seems
    Go to Administrative Tools/ Services in Windows.
    Change Startup type of the services to Manual.
    You can just sort by the 'Log On As' Column
    ".\SAPServiceJ2E"
    or whatever you instance name is. You can always start the service from the MMC console after this.

    If the app is G-Toolkit and you have a Gmail app on your iPhone, delete the Gmail app.  Apparently the G-Tool kit is tied to a Gmail app.  From searching the web my impression is that G-Toolkit is not spyware and is from a legitimate company that produces app for several platforms.

  • How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

    Dear wise & wondeful people:
    How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
    There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
    Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

  • How can I get the link not to override my style sheet formatting?

    I have an html page with text that has a style sheet applied

    style sheet formatting is lost in the linked text (the text for
    mylars, shapes and number shapes becomes smaller: see code below).

    Show us this rule --> bodyheader20pt?
    Also, having this in your three anchor tags -
    style="text-decoration:none" -
    will prevent your anchors from displaying any stylesheet
    style for
    text-decoration.
