How do I keep iPhoto and iTunes from loading at startup or wakeup from sleep?

I'm trying to keep iPhoto and iTunes from starting up each time MacBook Pro restarts or wakes up. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Close the windows and quit the applications from the menubar before shutting down the computer.
System Preferences > Users & Groups > Your account > Login items.
Click the lock, authenticate and remove those applications from Login items.
Best.

My computer was hacked using a softbank pocket wifi, I had to install an earlier version of the disc provided for my mac reset my user password and I still need to recover my administrator password that was altered. I have lost all of my applications already existing on my mac including iPhoto, and all other applications. I am wondering how to get them back? I am in Japan and I have proof of purchase in my iTunes, but on my computer all the allplications are blocked. I have no idea what to do to get them back. It is very annoying.
Thank you for your help.

Reinstall from the original source - the restore disks that came with the computer or from the App store if the computer did not come with disks

How do iPhoto and iTunes libraries connect to iMovie?

I'm still having trouble with iMovie '08 being unable to "see" or show still photos or sounds from the iPhoto and iTune libraries. It does not seem to even know those libraries exist.
Can someone at least tell me how iMovie normally connects to those libraries? What file tells it where to look?

In iMovie 11, there is a Preferences file called com.Apple.iApps.plist. If you move this preferences file to the trash, it will reset the links to iTunes and iPhoto. I haven't had iMovie 08 for several years, but I assume there is a similar preferences file for iMovie 08.
In general, the steps would be...
Close iMovie, iPhoto, and iTunes.
In the Finder, find this file and move it to the trash. Empty the Trash.
Restart iTunes. Restart iPhoto.
Restart iMovie.
It should be in the Home/Library/Preferences folder. (Macintosh HD/<Your user name>/Library/Preferences/)

I want to back up my 4S but I don't get the correct screen when I plug it into my Mac - Just iPhotos and iTunes (songs) pop up. How do I get to the screen where I can back up and restore?

Hi Spookola,
I don't know how that could have happened. Go through the folders for the rolls and separate the 2005 rolls from the 2006 rolls, then import the 2006 rolls.

How do you configure the iMac so separate users can access each other's files, especially iPhoto and iTunes? I need to be able to transfer media between two users and not just gain limited access using 'share'.

Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
What version did you have?
Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

How to transfer iphoto and itunes libraries from NAS back to MacBook Pro

I recently upgraded my MBP hard drive, and decided I'd like to move my iphoto and itunes libraries back to my local drive from my Synology NAS. I thought this would be easily achieved by copying the libraries from the NAS and pasting them in the desired locations in the MBP, as I did to get them to the NAS in the first place. This will not work.
First off, when I try a simple copy and paste through finder, the transfer gets about half way through and suddenly stops with "You can't copy "iPhoto Library" because it has the same name as another item in the destination volume, and that volume doesn't distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames".
This occurs even if there is no Iphoto directory currently on the MBP.
I contacted Synology, and they attempted to have me use a windows transfer protocol to transfer the libraries, but when transferring this way I am stopped half way through with an "Error -8084" code.
I am aware that the MBP is formatted with MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and that the NAS is formatted differently, but there must be some way to get this back.
My itunes library contains all my family's ipad, and iphone back ups, in addition to around 35 gb of music. Additionally, I don't want to lose Event info in Iphoto.
Please help!
Thank you

Manually migrating iPhoto and iTunes from Snow Leopard to Lion..

Hi all,
I received a shiny new iMac yesterday and in my haste to get it up and running, I began to run the migration assistant on wi-fi. Unfortunately, my 2006 macbook model is so old that my firewire cables don't actually fit the firewire port on the back of the iMac!!
11 hours later, there was still 40 hours left to go. At this point I manually quit the migration assistant. Partly because I have to work and to work I need to use a computer and partly because I realised that I don't want all the old crud from my previous system.. all I want is my iTunes (songs, apps, playlists etc) and my iPhoto to migrate.
The original admin account that the migration assistant was going to replace was still there. Everything seems to be working fine... I did a quick repair of disk permissions and all seems fine. So, I think I flirted with danger by quiting the migration assistant, but danger doesn't seem to have flirted back.
I've searched high and low on the web and I can't find any advice on migrating just your iPhoto and iTunes from Snow Leopard to Lion. I did read a post somewhere (relating to a migration to Leopard) where someone wrote that, for iPhoto, you simply had to replace your iPhoto Library in your pictures folder on the destination machine and then simply start iPhoto. iPhoto would upgrade the databases etc and all would be fine in the world. I cannot find a post online that suggests that this is also the case for Lion.
Can anyone here give me some hints on how to manually migrate the iPhoto and iTunes libraries over (and still preserve playlists in iTunes, albums/events in iPhoto etc)?
I figure that I cannot be the only person in the world who wants a "fresh start" on their machine, with the exception of iPhoto and iTunes.

Resident apple gurus at work have advised me to use the migration assistant and plug an ethernet cable between machines.
I'll give this a go and then go through the process of removing and cleaning up whatever old data I can.. but if someone posts a response to this question for me, I'll happily roll back in time-machine and go again in a cleaner way. :-)

IPhoto and iTunes not fully syncing?

I am running up to date versions of iPhoto and iTunes software on OS 10.8.2. I cannot fully sync my photo library (around 5000 pictures) with iTunes (which then impacts iPhone 5 and ATV2). Has anyone got any advice to help solve?

Until recently, all my photo's in iPhoto were syncing perfectly to iTunes and I could selectively decide what was further synced to my iPhone and to my Apple TV2 - I could select the whole photo library or all photo's within one or many specific events without error.
I recently upgraded to iPhone 5 (from 4) and noticed that I am not syncing all my photos from iPhoto to iTunes. If I select the entire library, it doesn't take all of the photo's from the library. If I choose selectively certain events, not all photo's in the specified event were syncing to iTunes (1 out of 25 photos in one event for example would get synced to iTunes yet all photo's in other events would be synced). If I deselect the tyick box for photo's in the iPhoto to iTunes sync, switch every thing off and then try again, the errors seen previously are repeating - that is, if the event has 25 photo's, still the one gets synced and the other 24 don't.
Whatever is in iTunes photo library will onward sync to iPhone 5 and ATV2 without a problem. The error is therefore between iPhoto and iTunes but I don't know how to fix it. I don't receive any error messages whatsoever, I discovered the discrepancy when trying to find a specific photo for my wall paper on my new iPhone.
Sorry for the waffle but I hope this is a better description of my problem. Thanks for any help you can give.

HELP! Deleted iPhoto and iTunes Libraries by changing name?!?!?

Hey guys,
My friend had two user accounts on his Mac. One was "Chris" and one was "Katie". The only one that was ever used was "Chris". Since his wife used the Mac a lot more than he did he thought it would be funny to change the user name from "Chris" to "Katie's Big Mac". The short name was not changed at all. He then deleted "Katie". I guess that deleted all the iPhoto and iTunes Libraries. But that was it.
Does any one know why it did this? I told her to look under Users: Chris: Music: iTunes: iTunes Music: and all of the old files were there. She dragged one of the files over and dropped it in iTunes to copy it over and then she went back to get more and they all disappeared from the folder iTunes Music. I didn't tell her to do this she did it on her own.
The iPhoto Library is totally empty though. Does anyone know why this happened and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Ammon

Okay it's fixed now. All he did was change the old names back to the way they were, recreate "Katie", and it all came back. He had to reload the libraries for iPhoto and iTunes but that was it. All other prefs are fine. But the weird part is that now the files that were in Chris are now in Katie. Thanks for your help.

Why won't some photos or videos sync to my iPad when they work fine with iPhoto and iTunes?

Why won't some photos or videos sync to my iPad when they work fine with iPhoto and iTunes? Other photos taken with same camera sync fine from iPhoto while certain events are inexplicably incompatible. I've recently foundvthecsame occurrence with certain mp3s and videos from iTunes.

For photos try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Restoring osx from mybook: will iPhoto and iTunes be there?

My imac hard drive crashed. I did online restore. The system does not find the mybook backup via time machine. I can see mybook and it's contents in disk utility. If I restore from mybook to Mac OSX Base System in disk utility will iphoto and iTunes be there? If not, how do I retrieve them? What is the best way for me to proceed to be fully operational again? Thank you.

Sounds like the hard drive died. Good thing you have a backup. Unless your backup was on another partition of the same drive. Then that may be gone for good, too.
