How do I prevent Photos.app from automatically opening when I connect a camera

I don't use Photos, except for a very small exception. I use Lightroom. I don't want Photos.app to open every time I plug in a device like my iphone or camera.
In iPhoto, it was easy to opt out of this feature. I can find no such option with Photos.app.
any solutions?

Go to the System/Keyboard/Keyboard preference pane and check the checkbox circled below:
Now go to this menu
select Show Keyboard Viewer to get this:
As you press the special keys you'll see what character the various keys will produce like this for the Option/Alt key

  • How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

    How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
    I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
    I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
    Thanks.

    I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted.   But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
    The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
    I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
    Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
    Have you looked at Capture One?  It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

  • We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer.  How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

    We have 2 ipods and 1 ipad with different apps all synced to one computer.  How do I prevent these apps from automatically being synced to all three devices each time I do a backup/sync?

    Uncheck the option to automatically sync new apps to the device.
    Other than that, syncing is by device.
    Connect one device, tell iTunes what to sync, then sync.
    Connect second device, repeat.
    Connect third device, repeat.

  • How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

    Hi, well as the title states:
    How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
    It's getting on my nerves...
    Thanks.

    This might also be helpful:
    I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
    Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.
    Nathan
    set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
    set answer to button returned of question
    if answer is equal to "Yes" then
              tell application "iPhoto" to activate
    end if

  • How can I prevent my emails from automatically opening

    When I open email, it automatically has the emails open when I click on them. How can I just select certain ones without it opening and delete them?

    I care that it automatically opens.  I find it really annoying that whatever message is at the top of my inbox, (or under my cursor) mail opens it, whether I have read it or not.  If I want to keep track of messages I have opened and read, I have to select and mark that message as unread every time I open mail, if I don't want to read it at that time.  I can't find a fix and it drives me nuts.

  • Stop Itunes from automatically opening when IPhone connected to computer

    Using IPhone 3G with Windows XP Pro (both with latest updates)
    When I connect IPhone 3g to the usb cable to computer, ITunes always automatically opens. This is a waste, if I am only charging the IPhone. Is there a way to make ITunes not open automatically when IPhone is connected
    Thanks

    Hi Guys..
    Had the same problem..
    And now its got solved!! :-D
    Leaving both "iTunes > Preferences > Syncing > Disable automatic syncing for all.." AND "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" on the summary page, UNCHECKED, solved the issue for me.
    Do give it a try..
    Cheers!
    Bye.

  • How to stop Adobe flash Player from automatically opening when I start google browser

    Whenever I open any google browsers i.e. Chrome or google, the Adobe flash player automatically starts.  I want to know is there any settings I can unclick that will stop it from opening automatically.  I want to have the control of when to start flash player.

    Having just solved this irritating issue, two steps are required to stop Chrome running audio or video automatically, but still allow it to run on request:
    1 Go to chrome://plugins/ and uncheck the 'Always allowed' box for the offending plug-ins - Adobe Flashplayer, Quicktime etc
    2 Go to chrome://settings/content, scroll to the Plug-ins section and change the default 'Run automatically (recommended)' to 'Click to play'
    Now when you open a page with audio or video content, it'll be greyed-out with a jigsaw icon, which you can click to run.

  • How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

    How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
    When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

    How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode and plugged in?

    Thanks tjk.
    Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
    Any other suggestions are welcome.

  • Can I remotely remove Apps from my iphone when not connected to iTunes. I have my apple ID and password. but my iphone is not in same wifi range

    Can I remotely remove Apps from my iphone when not connected to iTunes. I have my apple ID and password. but my iphone is not in same wifi range

    Sorry, not sure what you mean by remotely?
    You can remove apps from your phone without being connected to anything if you have the phone in hand. Were you speaking about something else?
    If not, then you just press on an app on the Home screen and hold it down until they all begin to wiggle. Apps that you can remove (non-Apple apps) have a little "x" in the top left-hand corner. Tap on that, and the app will be removed.

  • How can I prevent shared computers from automatically connecting?

    When I click on a shared computer in the finder using bonjour, the computer is automatically connected. It should require a password, but I can't seem to prevent this. Please help me prevent this computer from automatically connecting. Thanks

    You need to modify the preferences on the MacBook. The System Preferences>sharing pane should show you the options. You can add or delete users and folders, and I believe if you turn off all sharing options, you won't be able to connect to the machine.
    Here's my System Preferences window for reference.

  • Why won't iTunes automatically open when I connect my iPhone 6

    iTunes is set to open when I connect my phone but will not do so. I have to physically go to the program and open it each time I connect my phone. This also happens when I connect my iPad mini. This began when I upgraded to the iPhone 6. Before upgrading I did not have this problem.

    Hey there Ray_J,
    I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
    Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
    If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden
