How do I stop iPhoto from opening when i plug in my iPhone?

How do I stop Iphoto from opening when I plug in my Iphone?

Having the preference in iPhoto makes perfect sense to me. After all, iPhoto is the application that opens. You would expect that is where you should provide some guidance not to open.
What puzzles me much more is why you would post this comment more than 18 months after wjosten answered the original question.

How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone?

How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone? I have an iPhone 4 and at least 95% of the time I unlock it, some apps act as though they are reinstalling. It only lasts for about 3 seconds if that but it makes me feel like something is wrong with it. Does anyone else have this problem??

How do I stop apps from my iPad Air being downloaded to the iPhone4?

If I download a game or app to my iPad Air in iOS8, why is it downloaded to my iPhone4 automatically when I sync through iTunes12 on my iMac. Have I somehow turned this auto match download? How do I stop this from happening? I only want what I download to the iPad Air, unless I manually decide to install it on the iPhone4 through iTunes12.

With the settings changed on the iPhone4, why the iPad Air? I downloaded the apps to it. Then chose to delete them, which works. I just have to remember to delete them from iTunes12 eventually.

How do I stop mail from opening when I launch safari?

Can someone please let me know if there is a way to stop mail from opening when I launch safari.
Thanks

You are really confused. There are several things I'd recommend, first is becoming more familiar with your computer by visiting (and bookmarking)
Mac 101
Find Out How Video tutorials
Switch 101
Next, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support when you buy any new Mac. You will find the phone number in your manual or you can also click the AppleCare Contact Info if you cannot find it. However I would STRONGLY recommend carefully reading your manual. The AppleCare people will be able to help you sort out what you have done. You can also visit and Apple Store and speak to a Genius for free, just make an appointment.

How do I stop apps from automatically downloading every time I connect to the internet?

When my iPhone connects to the internet, an average of four apps automatically download on my device. What is causing this issue and how can I stop it?

I've just got a new iPad, got 8 updates available on app store, after like 5 min there were 4 updates. It was when I realised that it was automatically downloading stuff, so i disabled it from iTunes and App Stores settings as you wrote. The problem is that even though I disabled everything, every time I reconnect this iPad to wi-fi it continues to download because from 4 available updates it went down to 2. And somehow it managed to download GarageBand update, that's 600mb off of my monthly 8gb!! Why does it keep downloading from app store?

How can I stop iTunes from launching when I hit the button on my head phones

On my MBP I have some head phones that have an inline mic with call answer button. The button on the head phones is fairly sensitive and I tend to bump it on accident often. When I hit the button iTunes is launched or if I have it open it starts music.
Is there anyway to stop this from happening? This is driving me crazy!

This problem has been an issue for a number of months and has led to frustration and public humiliation on countless occasions.
When disconnecting from my Bose Soundlink at home (playing nothing) in order to taking my laptop on the run I open my laptop to find that the entire contents of my iTunes playlist is being belted in public. The subway, the library, my classroom is not the time or place for my laptop to make the decision to begin playing my music without permission. When at home and my Soundlink goes on standby I have nearly had a heart attack when my laptop spontaneously begins blaring my music when I wasn't even touching the thing.
I love my Soundlink and I love my Mac but together the devices are causing no end of aggravation with no fix in sight. With each OS update I hope the problem is addressed but to no avail, it is getting tiresome that such a flaw isn't being fixed in a timely manner.
