How NOT to start LR when inserting a memory card

Every time I stick a flashcard in my USB port, LR loads. I have checked "Do Nothing" in the auto import parameters *and* do not have "Enable Auto Import" checked, and yet .....
Anyone know how to disable this feature?
Thanks - Chuck B

It could be that the hide inactive icons feature is hiding it. One of two options may be hiding it. The first is that it is inactive and you'd need to select the blue arrow to expand the icon tray in order to see it.
The second is that one of the hide inactive icons option is to never show an icon. To see if that is the case, Right-Mouse-Button on the start button, select properties, choose the Taskbar tab, and select the Customize button at the bottom beside the Hide Inactive selection.
You'll see the list of icons in the tray and the option in effect for each.

  • Autoimport when inserting a memory card

    Hi,
    When inserting a memory card in the reader, the dialog that popped up used to give me the option to import using LR. But this option is gone now after updating from 2.4 to 2.5. In the LR preferences, the setting that enables automatic import when a card is inserted is turned on.
    What's wrong? How to get the automatic import back?

    The bug that caused LR to start importing every time a card was attached to the machine in LR 2.4 has now been fixed so this annoying behaviour has gone away.
    If you want it back, then ensure that the "show import dialogue when memory card is detected" in the Import dialog of the Preference is selected and also ensure that the Windows OS setting for auto play for data cards is set to LR.

  • How to deactivate automatic photoimport when connecting to memory card...?

    Hi there,
    I recently installed iPhoto 6. When I connect a memory card to my powerbook, iPhoto starts up and wants to import the files. I want to do this manually and don't want iPhoto to start automatically. How can I deactivate this?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Michael,
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

  • SD Card does not automatically pop up when inserted in HP Pavillion slimline desktop

    SD Card does not automatically pop up when inserted in HP Pavillion slimline desktop
    Computer is 1 year old. I have never had to use sd card slot until now. When I put sd card it does not automatically pop up on screen like my other computers. How to I acces my files?

    Hi,
    Can you still see it in File Explorer ? To protect your machine (virus, malware ...) Windows 8.1 will ask you to open it or not. You should hear a sound when you plug an external HDD or SD card to your computer.
    I would not ask my machine to pop up SD card or anything automatically. Can you hear a sound when you put SD card to your computer ? At the same time, a message will pop up and ask you what do you want to do with it.
    Regards.

    Denny,
    Open Image Capture which is located in your Applications Folder.
    Connect your device to your computer, then turn the device on.If the device is locked with a passcode, enter it.
    Select the device in the Devices list.
    Choose Image Capture from the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu.Click “Show device settings” if you don’t see that pop-up menu.

  • Photos did not download and I deleted them from memory card. how to recover?

    Photos did not download to computer.  I deleted them from memory card.  Is there a way to retrieve them from memory card.

    If all you did was delete them it should be relatively easy to recover them BUT don't use the card until you've done it. Even after a format it's fairly easy but not after re use because you write over them. For more help read the replies here.

    You will need a card reader because I don't think it can be done in camera using the usb cable.

  • Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
    Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
    Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
    What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame?  The manual should say.

  • Lightroom does not launch with insertion of memory card.

    Lightroom does not launch on my PC with insertion of memory card. Option checked to launch in preferences. Autoplay settings set for Lightroom 6 (I assume this is CC) to import photos with insertion of memory card. New since installation of CC. 

    I had this problem and I was able to fix it by editing the Windows registry (it was only a minor edit).
    I changed the value of the following registry key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Adobe.AdobeLightroom64\shell\open\command
    The value was:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7\Lightroom.exe "%L"
    I changed it to:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\lightroom.exe "%L"

  • How to upload photos from computer to camera memory card?

    I want to copy a few select photos and AVI files from the Organizer back to a new camera memory card.

    A new message was posted by Colin Walls:
    how to upload photos from computer to camera memory card:
    Open Organizer. Then open Windows Explorer [My Computer] and navigate to the memory card "drive." Drag the images from Organizer to the memory card.
    Dear Colin Walls:
    Thanks for your excellent tip. It works just as you said. The WHY I want to do this is:
    when I want to print a lot of pictures, I take my memory card to Longs Drug store and use their "machine." Naturally, I want to have all the photos I need on the card.
    A few days ago at Longs, I edited about 75 photos of a recent family reunion from my 512MB SD card taken with my Canon PowerShot A510. I ended up ordering 198 4x6 prints. My daughter had several good reunion photos on her digital camera. She e-mailed me seven photos as attachments, thus they were on my computer, but not on my memory card, until I started dragging as per the hint from Colin Walls.
    Windows Explorer shows the file structure on the card as one DCIM folder, with subfolders 155 CANON, 156 CANON, 157 CANON, 158 CANON, and CANONMSC. I proceeded to drag each my daughter's seven photos from PS Elem. 4 Organizer to the folder 158 CANON, except that I dragged one to the folder CANONMS, by mistake.
    The good news is that Longs machine and PS Elem. 4 both see ALL the photos on the card. The bad news is that my camera does not see the added photos, nor does the Canon ZoomBrowser 3.2 and 5.5 programs,nor the Picasa2 program.
    Thanks Colin. Gary Docherty

  • PLease insert a memory card message

    When I left my last job they let me keep a C7280 Photosmart Printer which I'd been using at home.  I've been happily using it without problems for six months but for the last week a message comes up whenever I switch on "please insert a memory card" and nothing prints.  I had occasionally had this message before but logging off the computer and switching on again made it go away.  Now it seems to be permanent. I haven't got a memory card and don't even know what it does.     Can anyone help?

  • I have recently changed to an iMac from a Windows PC. How do I delete files and format the memory card in my helmet cam?

    I have recently changed to an iMac from a Windows PC. How do I delete files and reformat the memory card in my helmetcam?

    If you return the memory card to the helmetcam, it may choose to reformat it before use; back to some FAT-16 or FAT-32 format many of these third-party cards and cameras use. Unless you were going to use it for Mac OS X and format it with HFS+ or in a partition map for Mac data, etc.
    If not, the easiest way to reformat the card may have been in the camera itself. I've formatted several kinds of camera cards, drives, USB flash drive, and others. The means varies with the intended purpose. Sometimes the default is the best; since it is platform neutral if the device is seen by both players.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HT1665 How to save photo from iPad to external memory card?

    How to save photo from iPad to external memory card?

    It's very difficult.  I have read where some people have done this with much angst.  You can use the camera connection kit to load pictures to your iPad.  The reverse is not really supported.  A much simpler solution would be to email the photo to your home email account and then copy it to external memory.
