How do I stop brigde from launching?

Hi,
I just switched from PC to MAC and I got my Adobe Master collection. For some reason, Bridge just keeps on launching every time I start my computer, and it's driving me crazy.
I don't know how to tell it to stop doing that... so if anyone knows... I would appreciate the help:)
N.

Hi Ramón,
Thanks for your reply. I did figure it out shortly after panicking.... hahahah... but thanks anyways:)
Just takes a little getting used to, but I'm sure I'll figure things out eventually:)
Thanks again,
N.

How do I stop iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?

How do I stop Iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?

Some possibilities:
Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.

How do I stop iPhoto from launching?
I usually find it's much easier to just use Photoshop to edit my pictures... iPhoto is slow as molasses in January.
How do I stop iPhoto from launching everytime I connect my camera?
I looked everywhere and can't find anyplace to stop it...
Thanks!

How do I stop iPhoto from launching?
The same way one starts it -- Launch Image Capture, open the application's Preferences (from the Image Capture menu) and change the settings associated with connecting your camera.

How can I stop applications from launching at login and wake?

An application, Spotify, launches each time I boot or wake my MacBook. The user preferences do not include Spotify in the login items and Spotify's preferences have "do no start at login" selected. How can I stop Spotify from launching at unwanted times?

Try system preferences> check disable automatic login.

How do I stop iPhoto from launching every time I sync my iPhone?

I have looked for something in Preferences on both my iPhone's PHOTOS tab as well as in iPhoto but cannot find where to tell whatever I need to tell to stop iPhoto from launching automatically every time I hook up my iPhone to my Mac to sync. This is really annoying and I'd so much rather just handle anything like that via the iTunes interface vs. another window/program that has to operate to deal with stuff on the iPhone. It's INelegant at best and just simply a pain in the arse at worst.

You mean I can use this Image Capture thing for moving stuff from scanners as well?
You bet. Some don't prefer using iPhoto to store all imported digital camera photos or any such application (not sure why but to each his/her own) so Image Capture can be used instead which is a simple import/transfer application. Using Image Capture, you can download some or all, remove photos from the camera after the download process, select a default download location or create a new folder in the location of choice and use a chosen automatic task such as crop to a 4' x 6' which occurs after the download process is complete.
A nice simple little application which has some juice for those who don't like using iPhoto or similar type application.
I'm in the habit of rooting around the applications folder and utilities folder with a new Mac purchase so I was aware of Image Capture but I've always preferred using iPhoto for my digital camera import process.

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.

How do I stop photos from launching when I plug in camera

Can't find anything in the preferences that will stop this new app from launching when I plug in cameras or phones.

Plug in and let it load, then click on the camera/phone on the left hand pane and uncheck the box:
You should also be able to do this via Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) but I haven't tested it specifically.

How do I stop Firefox from launching Add-ons manager?

How do I stop Photoshop from launching when I turn on my MacBook Pro?

I subscribe to Adobe CC. Every time I turn on my MacBook Pro, Photoshop CC launches. I want this to stop. When I right click on the Photoshop app > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items > Photoshop is not there. What can I do? I am sure it is a simple fix. Thanks!

As I mentioned when I right click on the Photoshop app in the dock > Options > Open at Login is NOT checked. And in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items > Photoshop is not there in the list. I do not have any utilities installed that automatically launch applications and I do not mess with scripts or even know how to.
I tried calling Adobe's poor outsourced customer service and was told there was a 2-5 minute wait, but after waiting 22 minutes, I had to hang up.

How do I stop iChat from launching on its own?

This is weird. I have three computers connected over a home network and connected to the net by a DSL modem.
iChat (4.0.2) is installed on all three.
Last night, it was turned off on all three.
This morning I wake to find that iChat has launched on my laptop, is chirping away and showing that window saying AOL has me logged in on two systems at once.
What gives?
Bob

Hi,
Check the System Preferences > Accounts > Your Account > Login Items.
This will list the apps that start up when the Mac does.
If you mean that waking the Mac from sleep shows an attempt to receive an IM when Off line then it is possible. In certain circumstances iChat does seem to do this.
In the General Section of iChat> Preferences makes sure it is set to Log out when iChat is Quit. This setting otherwise only partially logs you out and can be responsible for the Double/two place Login message.
Also check whether each computer if using the same AIM screen name has it set to Allow Multiple Logins. (this is one way to stop the message).
If you want to use the Message you get to log another computer out of AIM then type "1" as a response to it (or 2). Typing "1" will log the first computer that was logged in (or not fully logged out) off line. Typing "2" is likely to log the machine you are using Off Line (for iChat/AIM). It can be useful to check which is which.
The same message will appear if there are two apps on the same computer that are logged in (or not fully logged out) with AIM.
If you are getting Off Line messages then you should also get a AIMSysMessage item saying if you want to continue with this and you should have an option to Stop it. (I am not sure there is a way in iChat to restart it)

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

How can I stop iTunes from launching when I disconnect my Bluetooth device?

This has only become a problem recently. Whenever I disconnect -- not connect, disconnect -- my Bluetooth Bose SoundLink Mini speaker from my MacBook Pro iTunes will auto-launch. I am current with Mavericks and iTunes updates. There must be a configuration switch that can be tweaked to prevent this from occurring.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there anyone who is a MacBook Pro "expert" who understands what the interactions are between the Bluetooth driver and app software and iTunes, and can speak with authority on what might be going on here?

This problem has been an issue for a number of months and has led to frustration and public humiliation on countless occasions.

How can I stop iTunes from launching and playing by itself?

iTunes launches and plays by itself, which is very annoying, given that there is no discernable reason for it to do so.
Nothing in preferences should allow this. No device is connected. The library is not being shared.
Has anyone found a solution to this?

Check Dashboard to see if you have any iTunes-related widgets running. If so, close them and see if that makes a difference. Similarly, look for any third-party apps that may be related to iTunes, such as apps that copy "now playing" information to a web site.
Another possibility is external speakers, if you have them. Another user here found that a loose speaker connection may cause random launching and playing on iTunes. Try wiggling the speaker plug and see if that causes iTunes to launch. If so, unplugging and reconnecting the speakers may cure the problem. If not, you may have a defective speaker jack or an off-size plug on the speakers.
Hope this helps.

How do I stop LR from launching each time media is installed

Anytime I insert a CD/Dvd or Flash card or SD card, LR launches itself. It takes a lot of key strokes to turn it back off. I have PS, LR, Elements and other programs, that I might want to use. I want to turn off LR and have it only open when I want to use it.

99jon gave you the correct answer. If you are using Windows, you can check the same by using another approach:
go to the AutoPlay settings (in Win 7, Start | Control Panel | AutoPlay).
find any item that is marked as "Import photos using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4".
then change them to "Ask me every time" or "Take no action".

How do I stop Mail from launching at Random

I've seen this question asked, but I've yet to find an answer. I do not use Mail, but it launches at random several times a day. It will not quit normally, so I have to do a force quit. I've checked iCloud in preferences and mail is not selected. I'd love to find an answer to this and I'm many others are experiecing the same problem. Thanks. Running 10.8.4

As far as i know you can not Delete the Mail.App!
Try this Go back to system prefencses and go to mail, contacts, and calanders!
On the left hand side you should see a box what list the installed accounts!
View each and every one of them and make sure mail is unchecked for all of them!
If you have no accounts installed iclould should be the only one on that list! Click it!
Now make sure mail is unchecked that way!
