How to remove iPhoto auto open when device connects with USB?

Hi
When I connect any device using USB cable (mobile,tablet) on my Mac PC , iPhoto starts up and hangs my system for sometime ...
Thank You.

Hello there wasylultra,
It sounds like your computer is becoming unresponsive whenever you plug in any USB device that has or takes photos, because iPhoto launches automatically and takes a while to open. You can change this preference in iPhoto itself to open either iPhoto, Image Capture, or no application at all when you connect a device:
iPhoto '11: Change what happens when you connect a camera to your computer
To choose the application that opens:
Make sure no cameras are connected to your computer.
Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click General.
Choose an option from the “Connecting camera opens” pop-up menu.
The title of the article mentions iPhoto '11 but the same steps hold true for iPhoto 2013.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

My iPhone 5 is not showing up in iPhoto over WiFi. Is this normal? Or will it only show up when I connect with USB ?

It will show up, when connected directly by USB as a camera.

ITunes not opening when device connected

About a week ago, iTunes stopped opening when I connected my iPhone. If I then open iTunes manually, the device will be recognized and will sync. I checked in the system preferences and my Login Items had iTuneshelper checked, but the icon was a blank piece of paper and on the righ margin there was a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it.
I don't necessarily want iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone, but I would like to be in control of if it does or doesn't.
How do I set this straight?

Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
Select the Summmary tab from the menu.
Select or deselect: Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
And from the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
You can select to have the iPhone sync automatically (or not) there.
Or, right or control click the iPhone under Devices then make a selection.

Iphoto starts when iphone connected with usb to Macbook

After I upgraded to Yoesmite, I have a problem with Iphoto and Iphone. Iphoto starts whenever my Iphone is connected with USB to my MacbookPro.
I often use USB connection so that my Iphone is charged while working outside my home. So it is quite annoying that Iphoto starts up everey time I connect mye Iphone with USB. I want to work and is not interested in Iphoto to clutter up my work and memory usage.
What can I do to prevent Iphoto from loading.

Yes all you have to do is open iPhoto on Macbook & select iPhoto Menu Preferences>Connecting Camera opens: "select" NO Application.
Now if you want to send photos from your iPhone & you have iCloud-photos sync turned off, you'll have to open iPhotos & re-select iPhotos
in Preferences again.

HT1349 My new iPhone 4S won't sync to my MacBook Pro. I installed the latest version of iTunes but it doesn't recognize my phone when I connect with USB. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

It's strange, on my work issued Windows laptop I have no issues syncing my iPhone to iTunes. But on my personal MacBook, iTunes does not pick up my iPhone when I connect via USB. Any advice on this please?

Disable Auto-Open when iPhone connected?

I can't seem to make iTunes stop opening when my iPhone is connected, and it's driving me nuts....
Anyone know where to find that?

Found it!
It's the "Auto-sync checkbox" in iTunes...the wording wasn't what I expected, as I'd like my iPhone to auto-sync, but NOT throw iTunes on my desktop...oh well, it's off now. Thanks!

Auto Open on Device Connect

When I connect my camera to the computer, Lr does not automatically open. I have gone to the Preferances interface to ensure Show import dialog when memory card is connected is checked.
Lr does not even show up in the Auto Play pop up window.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Deep Woods

You say:
"Lr does not even show up in the Auto Play pop up window."
Are you sure?
In AutoPlay there are two drop-down menus.In the one on the top you have to select <Pictures>. After you did that in the second drop-down menu called "Actions" there should be the option <LR - Import photos>. If it does, select <Take no Action> and click on <Apply>.
If you really can't see LR, you best use a card reader instead of connecting the camera to the computer.

Iphoto automatically opens when I connect my ITouch to my MAC

When I connect my Ipod Touch to my MAC, it opens IPhoto as well.

It does that when there are photos in the Saved Photos on your iPod. Import them into iTunes and delete them from your Saved Photos. If you want them on your iPod, you can sync them back to your iPod's photo album.
You can also go to iPhoto > Preferences > General and change the "Connecting Camera Opens:" preference to read "Nothing", but then you would have to open iPhoto manually when you want to import photos from your iPod or any cameras.

ITunes 9.1 not auto opening when iPhone connected

Prior to upgrading to iTunes 9.1, iTunes used to open automatically when I connected my iPhone to my Windows XP SP3 PC via USB. This was useful for simply plugging in my phone and walking away and having it done backing up and syncing when I came back.
Now it's not opening iTunes automatically, at least not unless I killed the iTunesHelper.exe task and restart it. The iTunesHelper.exe task is supposed to start iTunes.exe when the iPhone is connected, but it appears that iTunesHelper.exe simply stops working periodically and I need to kill it and restart it to get it to recognize when I connect the iPhone.
Anyone else notice this problem?

No one else sees this?
I think it has to do with Hibernating my laptop since the problem seems to start happening after I do that. It works fine if I go into Standby and resume, but I hibernate my machine every night and the next day I have to kill iTunesHelper.exe and restart it to get iTunes to automatically launch.

My MacBook Pro does not recognize my iPhone 4 when I connect with USB

As the subject line says, when I connect my iPhone 4 to my MacBook Pro via the USB cable, it normaaaally opens iTunes and iPhoto automatically and syncs and imports photos from the phone. But, for some reason, that doesn't happen anymore... Now when I plug in my iPhone with the USB...nothing happens.
The USB still works as a power charger. I even tried a different newer iPhone USB cable from my friend's phone...same problem. I tried both USB ports.
I update my iPhone, my Mac, my itunes, my iphoto...everything. I reset everything at least a couple times. Still no luck!
I did a Disk Utility verify check...it found no problems, the volume 'appears to be ok.'
The iPhone still syncs with iTunes over WiFi, but unfortunately I can't back up my photos from my iPhone wirelessly (I don't have iCloud set up). I want to do it via USB.
Anyone out there with any advice on how to get my computer to recognize my iPhone?
THANK YOU!!!

Ive been struggling with this problem all day, I was trying to upload my pics and videos from my iPhone 4s (version IOS-7) and my computer didn't seem to recognize my phone. Well I finally gave up. My iphone was plugged into my computer via USB, and my iPhoto would not open up automatically like it always had before I updated to IOS-7.
As a last ditch effort I happened to open up my software updates in the apple icon. Lo and behold, once I agreed to update my iTunes app on my mac OSX 10.6.8, it opened my iTunes and a window popped open asking me to click on 'trust this computer'. I did that, and suddenly my iPhoto opened up and filled up with all of my iphone 4s (version IOS 7.1.1) pictures and videos! I could not find an answer anywhere online. I guess the trick is to manually open up iTunes before you attempt to upload pictures/videos from your iPhone into iPhoto.

Why is my time machine backup so slow even when directly connected with usb 3.0?

On my new 15" Retina running OS 10.7.5 the backup of about 225 GB would estimate about 17 hours and then stall out around 22 GB or so.
Now it seems to hang on the setup.
I've just gone back to my old machine (late 2008 15" MBP running OS 10.7.4) to see if it would work any faster I am getting an estimate of "about a day" on about 280 GB. (Backwards compatible at USB 2.0 speeds of course).
In both instances I am directly connected via USB 3.0 to a Seagate 3TB desktop drive that I reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) right out of the box.
I bought this drive to replace my old 500 GB Time Capsule which is much too small to maintain backups for my MBP and my wife's Air. My plan was to run the initial backups hard-wired (for speed) and then attach it to a new Airport Express for subsequent backups.
No network or wireless to potentially cause this lag.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

It's true. I love Google. Miss the maps on the iPhone5 for sure.
Like you say, I end up expanding all my searches in Google to give me more results within apple discussions rather than search here.
I moved the external 3 TB drive over to the Time Capsule via its USB port and it is showing up. So that's one bullet maybe dodged so far.
On a grander scale, I'm currently in the midst of trying to redo my home network and I'm in a little over my head.
I will try to explain...
My previous network ran as follows:
Time Warner cable coax ----------> their provided Motorola modem ----via ethernet---> My old 500 GB Time Capsule creating the WIFI network for my place and feeding three other old style Airport Express devices in various rooms extending the network but essentially just for AirTunes
Also, the Time Capsule ran ethernet cables to my Western Digital TV and Western Digital MyBook Live Duo 4TB drive. Both of these Western Digital devices have wifi built in but I wasn't getting the playback speeds I was expecting so I hardwired them with ethernet for faster service which has been working for a while.
NOW.....
I am replacing the three old Airport Express devices with three new Airport Express devices and making one of them the Master device to create a new network (dumping the old one and trying to start fresh).
Here's my plan and what I have hooked up so far.
TWC coax ----> Motorola modem ---ethernet----> Airport Express #1 (creating WIFI network for Airport Express #2 and #3 AND ---------ethernet-------> Old 500 GB Time Machine-----ethernet #1-----> WDTV Live AND ----ethernet #2------> WD MBLD 4TB AND NOW -------USB-----> 3TB Seagate external for Time Machine drive expansion. ALSO POSSIBLY -----ethernet #3------> Apple TV 2 for the same reasons I have the WD devices hooked up via ethernet. I don't trust the wifi to be fast enough for video streaming.
Now, despite having read wikis and other explanations for Bridge mode, DHCP and NAT settings for routers (in this case, the TM) I still can't figure exactly what mode the TM should get setup with.
Also all of these devices are set up in different pockets on the same shelf so I was worried that all the WIFI signals would interfere with each other (hence all the ethernet).
My plan was to turn of the wireless in the TM and have all of these devices branch off via ethernet. Which brings me back to my uncertainty regarding whether to set the TM to Off (Bridge Mode), DHCP, or DHCP and NAT.
From what I've read I would think it should be in Bridge mode but I also read some things about how bandwidth use in bridge mode can be very high and could cause problems using the internet possibly over my overall wifi network? Although I'm not sure I'm understanding that correctly.
I apologize for my lack of understanding in setting up a complicated network. I've just been wanting to get all of this working the way I've hoped (correctly) for a long time.
Thanks in advance for any more advice!

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.

Why are external servers STILL auto-opening when you connect to them!

This never happened in classic. One of the many reasons why I stopped liking "macs".
