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 do I stop dulicate contacts being created everytime I sync with Goggle?

Hi Everybody,
     Newbie to this forum so bear with me.
     I started with no contacts on Google and 84 on my iPhone4 16GB. Sync'd with Google, after two sysncs I have 207 contacts on the iPhone and Google, most of which are dulicates of the original 84.
NOTE: I did not edit any contacts between syncs.
NOTE: 207 is not a multiple of 84, each time I sync, certain of the contacts are duplicated, not all of them. I have one contact that is just a name, no other information. It has been duplicated every sync.
I am syncing to Google via iTunes (10.3.1.55) on a Windows XP (Service Pack 3) laptop.
     Sincerely R A Evans
P.S I don't know how to find the OS on the iPhone. It's brand new though.

deselect what you don't want on your iDevice in iTunes. more information here.

How can I stop text from being show when I print it?

You can see the webpage I am working on here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
I created a staylesheet called "print.css" and added the following lines to my Resume.html file:
<link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
In my Resume.html file I have a link that will print a PDF of my resumé. However, if you print the resumé then I do not want the link to print the resumé to be shown.
In the print.css I created the following class:
.doNotPrint {
color: #FFF;
I applied the class to the 'offending' text, thus:
<p class="doNotPrint"><a href="PDFs/Peter A. Forkes - Resume.pdf">Resume.pdf</a></p>
however, it does not seem to have any effect. I am assuming (since the background is white) that changing the text color to white should make it invisible.
If you can suggest either how to make my method work (or suggest a better method) that that should mean that I have finished everything I want to do with my webpage.
Thanks,
Peter

I am assuming (since the background is white) that changing the text color to white should make it invisible.
The problem with the CSS is that you've targeted the <p> tag with the rule, not the <a> tag so it has no effect. Normal text in that paragraph will print in white but links will display in #333 because of your rule on a:link and a:visited
Nevertheless, I would avoid those tricks in case you incur the displeasure of the search engines. They're widely used by spammers and are punished accordingly (even though I know we're talking about a print stylesheet and your intentions are honourable :-).
In your print stylesheet, change
.doNotPrint {
color: #FFF;
to
.doNotPrint {
display:none;

how do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media. i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

The Mail app doesn't have a spam filter, any filtering that you want to do needs to be done before it reaches the iPad - if you log into your account via a browser, does your email provider have any settings/options that you can enable ?

How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync with gmail

How do I stop duplicating contacts when I sync my IPod Touch with Gmail?

I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

How do I stop iTunes from automatically changing artist, album.....?

How do I stop iTunes from automatically changing artist, album, and genre names?
I keep my itunes library folder very organized. You wont find the same artist spelled two different ways in it. But itunes automatically changes the artists, album names, and genres for whatever reason, making it so I have to edit my library all over again.

No, don't check it!
That is the only setting that would let itunes change file names. Read right underneath it - itunes will create files & folders based on artist & album name.
Something else must be changing your files, then - not iTunes.
Every PC comes with WIndows Media Player. Go into that and uncheck the options to retreive internet info for albums. It's in 2 places, on the Library tab and the Privacy tab.
