How do I tell Lightroom not to boot automatically?

When I load photos from my camera to my computer, Lightroom boots automatically and interferes with my loading. How do I tell Lightroom not to boot automatically under any circumstances? I cannot find that option in any menu.
John Johnson

Do one or more of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Turn off the Adobe Photo Downloader start-up item.
1. Right-click the Adobe Photo Downloader located on the far right of the Windows Task Bar.
2. Choose Exit.
Note: This turns off the Photo Downloader for your current Windows session, only.
Solution 2: Turn off the Adobe Photo Downloader permanently.
1. Choose Start > Run, and type in msconfig. Click OK.
2. Choose the Startup tab.
3. Uncheck apdproxy. Click Apply, and then click OK. Restart Windows.

  • How do I tell Lightroom 4 not to disconnect my card reader after an import?

    How do I tell Lightroom 4 not to disconnect my card reader after an import?

    I just ran across this post and have no-axe-to-grind on either side of this issue.
    What hasn't been mentioned here are the actual "financial" consequences of leaving images on a memory card (i.e. card in limbo)? Obviously this means you will need more than one (1) memory card, which I'm sure is already the case for most LR users.
    If we compare the cost per image for memory card storage versus film, the price point is about the same:
    36 exposure roll 35mm color negative film = ~$3.00 ÷ 36 = ~$.08 per image
    16GB SanDisk Extreme 400x CF card = ~$50 ÷ (16,000/25) = ~$.08 per image
    (Assuming 25 MB image files, excluding processing costs)
    Unlike film the actual cost per image with memory cards drops significantly over the life of the card, which I'll very conservatively put at 500 card usages.
    ~$.08 per image first shoot÷500 = ~$.00016 per image
    The actual cost per image over the life of the card with only 500 usages works out to about $.16 per 1,000 25 MB images.
    Would you spend 16 cents for “temporary backup” of 1,000 perhaps irreplaceable images until confirmed not corrupted during transfer to your hard drive and a second backup drive? I think so!
    Another side benefit of using additional memory cards and retiring them earlier to the trash is that it reduces the likelihood of catastrophic failure and image loss:
    MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) ÷ Actual Usage = MTTF (Mean Time To Failure)
    Actually determining when you should replace a memory card and how you track its usage should be discussed in a new post.
    IMHO, this strengthens the case of holding-off on deleting images or reformatting your memory card right after import into LR. Now go buy some more memory cards! (Disclaimer: I do not own any memory company stock.)

  • How do I tell iphoto NOT to load ALL images from camea and iphone, only new images?

    I've bee using my MacBook Pro, iphoto and Nikon for many years. I travel alot and take many pictures, and like to keep them on the memory cards as an extra backup. All was going great on a recent trip, until one day, suddenly, when I plug camera into computer, iphoto opens (as usual) but it starts downloading ALL of the old images on the memory card instead of just the ones that have not already been imported! It takes forever when you are using a 16GB card!! Is this due to some update I installed? How do I tell iphoto not to do this?! I only want to see images not yet imported, as it used to be. I am using OS X 10.6.8 and iphoto '09 - 8.1.2  And, this same thing is happening with my iphone, and my other camera.

    iPhoto does read all images (how else can it know if it has already imported them or not) and then gives your oppertunity to import new, all or selected
    Yes it does take a bit to get all images and see what needs to be imported - I use 32 GB cards - and the other issue is that if you delete impoprted photos next time you use the card the deleted ones will be in the new list so you have to select the rest and import selected - I've found no solution to this

  • How do I tell iTunes not to install on sync apps that I downloaded?

    I upgraded my SSD on my Mac and I thought I'd download all my apps so they were backed up on my computer. However, now iTunes tries to install them all on my iPhone whenever I try to sync it. I don't have nearly enough space on my iPhone so I always get a bunch of "ghost" apps and an error message that my iPhone is out of space every time I sync. How do I tell iTunes not to attempt to install these on my iPhone on sync? The only options to choose from are "Install" and "Will Install".
    Thanks.
    I have OS X 10.9.3, iTunes 11.2.2 (3), and iOS 7.1.1.

    The easiest way is to simply remove the previous apps from your account, then sync all your apps. You can remove unwanted apps via iTunes. If you want a step by step instructions go to: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-delete-unwanted-ios-apps-from-itunes/

  • How do I set Lightroom not to automatically jump to a collection set after I creat one?

    How do I set Lightroom not to automatically jump to a collection set after I create one? Its so annoying. Also, why does lightroom close my folder hierarchy every time I move a folder? Thats annoying too.

  • How do I tell Leopard NOT to connect to a particular local drive?

    How do I tell Leopard NOT to connect to a particular local drive?

    I don't want my Leopard computer to automatically connect as guest to the Tiger computer.
    Leopard does not automatically connect to it. If it shows in the sidebar you are not connected to it. The sidebar is just showing what computers on the network are available to connect to. To connect to it you still have to click on the connect button.
    To stop it showing the sidebar you have to turn off file sharing on that mac.

  • When my wife goes to login to Yahoo mail, my email Id and password automatically appear. How do I tell Firefox not to populate these fields with my id and passwords. Basically how do we not have firefox automatically fill in these fields.

    When my wife was already login to our shared computer, I went into Yahoo email and told the computer to save my login and password. Now, everytime my wife goes to login to her Yahoo email my ID and Password are filled in. How do we have firefox not remember the Yahoo ID and Password for anyone?

  • Is there any way to tell Lightroom not to make subfolders?

    Okay I'll try to explain what I'm trying to do: On my external drive is a folder called Digital Photos and inside that is two subfolders; RAW Files and Final Versions. Then there is another folder on my drive called New Photos RAW Files. What I've been trying lately is when I'm done shooting some new photos I transfer the new ones to the New Photos RAW Files folder.
    Then I start Lightroom and tell it to import the photos from the New Photos folder into the program. What I would like to be able to do is tell Lightroom to rename these new photos with my naming scheme I came up with and store then in the subfolder RAW Files which is in the Digital Photos folder.
    But I noticed that Lightroom likes to always create new subfolders for you. So what happens is Lightroom renames the new photos and puts them in a subfolder named 05-15-2001 (or something similar to that) and that folder is placed inside another folder called 2011.
    I don't really need these subfolders being created so I was wondering if there is a way to tell Lightroom to simply take the new photos and after you rename them simply place them in the RAW Files folder which is inside the Digital Photos folder.
    I hope I've made myself clear and I admit I'm just a newbie at this and it's hard to get the hang of this powerful software.

    It appears I have figured it out. You gotta go down to where it says Destination and tell Lightroom to Organize into One Folder.

  • How Do I Tell Mail Not To Send Emails To Junk?

    I upgraded to 10.9 recently and am working through a few hiccups.  For example:
    My Mail sends some incoming emails to the Junk folder.
    The ones I'd like to see I add the sender to my Contacts but some keep ending up in Junk.
    Any idea how to tell Mail that a specific sender is okay and those messages should go to the Inbox not Junk?
    I'm running:
    OSX 10.9.4
    Mail 7.3
    Contacts 8.0
    Thanks

    Thanks Eric.
    One newsletter in question came through unmolested today so maybe, as you say, Mail learns.
    I had to laugh.  The email notifying me of your help ended up -- where else? -- my junk folder!
    Thanks again.

  • How can I tell LR not to automatically import pictures after editing and saving?

    Whenever I open a RAW file from LR into Photoshop and save it within Photoshop as a tiff or whatever, it gets automatically imported to the LR catalog. Is there a way to avoid this?

    klsteven wrote:
    Jim,
    I know that it`s not a raw as soon as it`s in PS. That`s why I open it as smart object.
    One more question: In the preferences there is an option "stack with original". I would expect the tiff or psd to be in a stack with the raw file. But it doesn`t get stacked with it. So what is the option supposed to do?
    It does stack with the original on my computer. Opening the raw image in Photoshop as a smart object does allow you to go back to the raw file in Camera Raw. And it adjusts the raw file. But when you close Camera Raw you are back working on the image in Photoshop. All the work you do in Photoshop is saved in the TIF or PSD. If you then go back to Lightroom and delete that TIF or PSD file you have thrown away all the adjustments done in Photoshop. Of course the raw file will be impacted by the adjustments that you made in Camera Raw, and it affected the TIF or PSD. But you're still throwing away all the Photoshop work.

  • How do i erase "history" ? how do i tell firefox NOT to keep history ?

    no details. i know how to do it on desktop/laptop firefox but can't find the solution for my tablet.

    Sorry, but that's for Firefox on desktops or laptops.
    My concern is for Firefox on an Android tablet (Samsung Galaxy 10.1). If you go to "Tools" you get a list of things on which you can act...but not History.
    At this point I have dozens of pages under "All Pages" which I can't erase as well as other dozens under "History" which I can't erase either.
    I want fr Firefox
    (1) NOT to keep track of my searches or addresses
    (2) NOT to keep track of History
    That's what my Firefox on my desktop and two laptops does after I had followed the same path you indicated when I installed it.
    Thanks again, anyway. And if you happen to have a solution...

  • How can I tell iTunes not to import files that I want to sample listen too?

    Let's say that I want to listen to a sample of something online. I download the file. When I click on the file iTunes opens, the file imports into my library and then it plays. How can I open the file without it importing into iTunes? I know that you can scroll over the file to play it, but I want to scrub around. My iTunes library has a bunch of random audio files in there now. If iTunes can't play without importing, is there any software that does that?
    Using: iTunes 11.0.4

    Click one of the downloaded files to highlight it. Hit command-i to bring up the info pane. Scroll down to 'Open with' (click the disclosure triangle if necessary) and click the drop-down menu - select the QuickTime Player. Click 'change all...'. Now all files with that extension will open with the QT player when double-clicked. Of course you can still drag them into iTunes if you should want them there.

  • How do I tell lightroom 5 to use a catalog that's been moved onto a different disk?

    I have moved the whole of My Pictures folder (including my Lightroom Catalog), which was previously located on my Windows 7 (64bit) C:drive, onto another disk (F:) and now I need to update Lightroom so that it knows where to find its re-located Catalog.
    Please could I have some basic instructions for altering Lightroom's settings, in order to use the old Catalog again.
    Thanks for your help,
    Ian

    I would like to check I have definitely understood this. I want to move my photos and catalogs from their current location to another location on my hard drive (into a dropbox folder).
    The images are organised into sub-folders underneath each catalog folder. So, as I understand it, as long as I move the file structure including catalog and image folders, I can simply drag them from one place to another?
    I am checking because I have thousands of images and I don't want to break the catalog.
    Thanks

  • How to tell "ituneshelper" not to start automatically at startup

    To stop iTuneshelper from starting automatically:
    1-- Go to System Preferences
    2-- Click Accounts
    3-- click Login Items tab. This shows all the items that are automatically loaded when you log into your account.
    4-- In that list you will hopefully see an item called "iTunesHelper."  Apparently this little program has the job of making it so that iTunes can watch for iPods getting plugged in and so on.
    5-- to remove iTunesHelper from this list, click on it to select it, and then click the "-" (minus" button) at the bottom of the list.
    6-- You just removed that startup item. If you later find that you have problems connecting to your ipod or for some reason you want that startup item back, then you can delete and then re-install iTunes by downloading it from itunes.apple.com (don't worry, it will find your music folder when you reinstall) OR, more simply, you can go to your applications, find the iTunes application, right click it, choose "view package contents," go into Contents folder, then go into Resources folder, then find iTunesHelper.app and drag ituneshelper.app onto that list on the Login Items window that we mention in step 3. That will bring it back onto that list. Then restart your mac and you will see ituneshelper running automatically again.
