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 can i prevent iphoto from opening when i plug in my iphone to the computer?

    Hi There,
    I have  a question, when I connect my iPhone to the computer the iPhoto automatically opens.
    how can i prevent this from happening? it always slows down my computer.
    any help will be appreciated.
    thanks

    Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) - In the preferences you can decide to 'Do Nothing' when a camera is connected.
    Some versions also have this option in the iPhoto Preferences.

    I don't really want to sync my iphone with my iphoto. Whenever I plug my phone into my computer, iphoto automatically opens and asks if I want to sync. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
    Thanks!

    The RIGHT way is to copy photos from your phone to iPhoto and delete them from the Camera Roll. If you still want them on the iPhone add them back to the photo album app. The Camera Roll is a bad place to leave photos that are important, and a silly place to leave photos that are not. It is intended as temporary storage, jost like any digital camera.
    iPhone will not open if the camera roll is empty.

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

    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 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 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 can I stop iPhoto from opening everytime...

    OMG this is maddening.
    I am a photograher.
    I shoot tethered to a MBP in lightroom through a Canon 5D Mark III; I recently upgraded to YOSEMITE.
    Every lovingtime I plug the camera in to the MBP, IPHOTO starts, reads the contents of my 16GB card which of course takes time, during a photoshoot, and then want to import 500+ images- I of course cancel or close the window down. But in the event I have to reconnect the camera or restart something- I get the annoying  IPHOTO program doing the same ^&$&^% again.....it does it on my MAC MINI in my office when I bring the images home for editing...
    The fact that the iphoto window is buried under another window and I can't &^%&^*$  figure out what is holding up my work flow while still looking composed in front of clients is MADDENING.
    THIS IS CRAZY,,, How can I stop it

    There are two places you can set iPhoto to not open when a camera is connected:
    1 - iPhoto's General preference pane:
    2 - (if iPhoto continues to open after #1) - with the camera connected to your Mac launch Image Capture and in the lower left hand corner of the widow set No Application in the dropdown menu provided:

  • Stop iPhoto from opening when iPhone connected

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new iPhone and a new MacBook, however, I am having a bit of trouble. Whenever I connect the iPhone to the MacBook, iPhoto opens and wants to transfer my download the photos from my iPhone. It gets annoying as I have to wait for iPhoto to completely open and then quit it evertime i connect the phone.
    Is there a way I can prevent this, ie not have my MacBook treat my iPhone as a camera?
    Thanks.

    Oh alright,
    Follow these steps:
    Plug in your iPhone.
    Launch Image Capture from our Applications folder
    Select your iPhone once it shows up under devices
    Look at the lower bottom pane where you'll see "Connecting this iPhone opens"
    Set this preference to "No application"
    Let me know if you run into any problems performing these steps.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from opening with an iPhone?

    I tried to do this on Yosemite but these steps don't work. Is this a bug?
    Step 1: Open iPhoto.
    Step 2: In the Menu bar, go to iPhoto > Preferences…
    Step 3: For the “Connecting camera opens” option, make sure to select “No application.”
    Step 4: Close the Preferences window.
    I want to have iPhoto not open every time I plug in my iPhone 6.

    Image capture is a different application for "capturing images" - it is located in your applications folder - connect your phone and launh it and make this change while the phone is connected

  • How do you stop iPhoto from loading every time you dock the iPhone?

    I would like to NOT have iPhoto start up every time I plug in my iPhone. I am sure there must be an easy way to do this. Thanks!

    There are two different topics in this thread, and two separate "sync photo" issues with iPhone.
    1) Syncing photos to iPhone, similar to the process if you had an iPod. This is handled as mentioned above, from within iTunes.
    2) Syncing photos from iPhone, as with any camera. This is handled from within iPhoto, also as mentioned above.
    I just wanted to point out that these are two independent processes, able to be modified separately.
    If you have cleared out the iPhone and/or not taken any more pictures, it will not cause iPhoto to pop up.

  • How do I stop Pages from opening when I log back in? Login items are not ticked.

    Prior to Yosemite I had trouble with Pages where it closed down the app when I closed a document.
    I was given a command line to put in the 'Terminal' to deactivate Pages. This worked.
    That command was -  -g NSDisableAutomaticTermination -bool TRUE/False.   But that isn't recognised any longer when I reverse the True/False.
    But I now don't want Pages to open automatically when I Log in.
    The box is not ticked for Pages in System Preferences- Users- Login Items.

    It needs to be removed from the list, not just unticked.

  • How do I stop thumbnails from opening when inserting pdf in Acrobat XI.

    Operating system is Windows 7. I just upgraded from Acrobat X. When I inserted a pdf into another pdf it was done. In Acrobat XI when I insert the thumbnails column opens up and I have to click on it to close it. This is annoying.

    Bill, where do I find the initial view? I did a chat with Adobe and was told this was designed in to Acrobat XI and that every time it opened I could press F4 to close it. They had me fill out a Feature/Bug report.
