  • 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.

    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 do I stop iphoto opening on start up of mac? (not when adding a device etc)

    How do I stop iPhoto opening whenever I start up my mac? (not when adding a device etc) There are lots of answers for stopping it auto-opening when attaching a camera, iPod/Pad and I have 'no application' selected for those, I just cant pin-point how to change the basic start-up/loading setting. Thanks :-)

    In iPhoto go to the General preference pane and set No Application as the option when a camera is connected
    If that doesn't do the trick connect your device to the Mac and launch Image Capture.  In the lower left hand corner select No Application again:

  • How to stop iphoto opening automatically.

    Hi everyone,
    I have forgotten how to stop iphoto opening up when I put my camera memory card in the reader.
    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I am now using Photoshop Elements 6 on my Macbook.
    Thanks in advance and a happy and healthy New Year from England,
    Alan

    Hi,
    Thanks for your quick answer but I managed to do it through Image Capture.
    You have to have the camera or reader connected then open Image Capture.
    I clicked on the device ( name of card reader ) and in the bottom left I could choose from a drop down menu where I wanted the card to open.
    Thanks again,
    Alan

  • How do I stop programs opening automatically when i log onto my macbook?

    When I log onto my macbook, about 6 programs open automatically. they are not listed on my 'Login Items' and I dont know how to stop them popping up.
    Any help would be appreciated!!

    You do not clarify which email client you are using
    For Mac's mail the only way I know for more control is the Mail AttachmentTamer a easy and free to use plug-in

  • How do I stop iphoto opening at startup?

    It is not listed as a startup item;
    it is not listed in image capture as a startup item
    I have checked all possible files and folders in User>Library and in System> Library but can find no item that would cause it to startup at restart.
    I have read all the earlier posts going back to 2006 but nothing suggested seems to apply in my case.
    Also, I notice that Image Capture does not have a Preferences setting in the drop down menu, as mentioned in much earlier posts.
    Any suggestions?

    I disconnected the USB external drive but that did not make any difference.
    Since iPhoto shows a connected device EasyShare Ai when it opens, I suspected that this was due to the Kodak printer, USB connected, which might cause iPhoto to open automatically.
    Sure enough, when I disconnect the printer, iPhoto does not open at login.
    Now, I have to find where in the printer preferences I can disable that particular action.

  • How can I stop iPhoto from automatically launching when iPads are connected to my MacBook Pro?

    We currently have 20 iPads (2 different models) and we are using Configurator. Everytime we connect our ipads (via two usbs from our sync and charge trolley) iPhoto launches. Why does this happen and how do I stop it?

    never mind - all fixed!

  • How do I stop iPhoto opening when not wanted?

    I don't use iPad - I prefer Lightroom.  So when my iMac was updated to Yosemite iPhoto started opening every time I plug a compact flash card into the iMac.  This is annoying to say the least as each time I have to close it making sure it doesn't start importing images into the wrong place.
    How do I "turn off" this feature?  No is no help in the iPhoto "help" and online Apple isn't any better.

    Changing this in iPhoto alone may not suffice. Then change the setting in Image Capture as well.
    Insert your Compact Card reader with the card inserted.
    Then launch Image Capture.
    Under "Devices" select your card reader. Then click the disclosure triangle in the lower left corner to reveal the ""Connecting this ... opens" and set this to Light Room or "No Application".
    You will have to do this for each photo device (camera, iPhone, iPad, ...) you own.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from automatically deleting photos from my camera after import?

    I'm using iPhoto 11 version 9.2.3 and importing photos from a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS35 via USB.
    From what I can gather, iPhoto should prompt me after an import as to whether I want to delete the imported photos from the camera or not.
    Instead, I get no option at all and iPhoto goes right ahead and deletes the imported photos.This is a problem as the camera is shared and used across a few Macs.
    I can't find any options anywhere in iPhoto to prevent this behaviour. I've made sure that iPhoto is launched with the camera (I thought this might be the problem initially), but to no avail.
    Can anyone please help?

    Thanks Tom,
    I fear that either I'm stupid or blind because I don't see that option in the Advanced pane either.  Here's what I have in Advanced:
    Enable this account
    Include when automatically checking for new messages
    Compact mailboxes automatically (this is greyed out)
    Keep copies of messages for offline viewing (then a pull down menu):
         All messages and their attachments (currently this is selected)
         All messages, but omit attachments
         Only messages that I've read
         Don't keep copies of any messages
    Check with your system administrator before changing any of the advanced options below:
         IMAP Path Prefix:
         Port:
         Authentication:
    Use IDLE command if the server supports it (this is greyed out)
    I see the option you're talking about on my older computer that's running Leopard, but not on the new one running Lion.
    Cheers,
    Bonnie

  • How do I stop mail opening automatically if I click email link in browser?

    This is more an annoyance than a problem, but: I usually avoid doing this, but sometimes I forget, that when I click on an embedded email in a webpage that Mail will open and set up a composing box for that address (this is when the mailto: command is invoked, I suppose). Is there any way to disable this? I don't use the Mail application, and would just like it to stop.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    In the Preferences to Mail you can set the Default Mail application to whatever you prefer.
    Mail -> Preferences -> Default Mail Reader
    Thereafter your preferred application will appear when you click a Mailto link,
    Regards

  • How to stop iphoto opening.

    Hi Everyone,
    How do I stop iphoto opening every time I put a card in my card reader. I use Photo Elements and it is a nuisance having to quit iphoto each time. I have removed it from the dock but it still opens. I am new to Panther and iphoto so I am still feeling my way around.
    Regards from England,
    Alan

    Open the Application IMAGE CAPTURE. Go to preferences to select what if anything happens when you insert your card in the reader.
    Image Capture preferences determine this setting. Don't ask me why
