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 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.

    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

  • How to stop iPhoto opening when connecting a device

    I want to stop iphoto opening when I connect my iphone, I can't find this in iphoto's preferences, any ideas?

    Just to clarify, you have to have the device connected to alter the preference.

  • How to stop iPhoto opening on all user desktops

    Whenever iPhoto is opened by one user on an iMac, the application also opens on the other user's desktops so that when you switch users you have to quit iPhoto before working.  Is there a way of limiting iPhoto opening onlu on the currect logged in user's desktop?

    You could assign iPhoto to a space, that will not be used in the other user's account.
    Launch Mission Control and drag the iPhoto window to a different space, e.g. Desktop 3.
    Then ctrl-click (or right-click) iPhoto in the Dock and select "Options > Assign to this Desktop"
    When you now switch to a different user account, you will not see the open iPhoto window on the main desktop, because it is hidden on Desktop 3.

  • How to stop iPhoto opening when I connect iPad

    Calibre enabled me to stop iTunes from opening every time I connected my iPad, but since Yosemite, it's now iPhoto that opens every time we're joined. I don't understand iPhoto, which never wants to do anything I want it to, so I almost never use it. Not only that, it takes an age to fully open while it tries to read photos from my iPad, the Cloud and probably from the Other Side.
    I am guessing this might be connected with iCloud, but I want to stop it. I've looked at iPhoto's Preferernces, I've looked at a number of things in System Preferences, but so far I can't stop this automatic opening.

    OK, I found it, but I can't see how I can control it. I have tried to insert a screen shot. Despite it being only 211KB and 911 x 542 in size, this program will not let me insert it. Right, so I select iPad in the sidebar, and it shows me a load of photos premsumably on the pad that it wants to copy to Pictures and which I don't want it to since they are already there, but there does not seem to be a way of stopping it. Oh, yes I could possibly send them somewhere else, but there doesn't seem to be a way of not sending anything anywhere. I think this may be an iCloud issue. With "advanced editor", I have finally manage to insert the screen shot - hope that explains what I couldn't.

  • How to stop iPhoto from automatically launching?

    I'm not sure if this is specific to any version of iPhoto or not.
    But anyway, when I insert a compact flash card into a USB card reader attached to an iMac, iPhoto automatically launches. How do I turn this functionality off?
    Thanks

    See the drop down menu at the bottom of the General preference pane:

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • How to stop mail opening automatically.

    I had this problem on my iMac now checking for iPad . I don't like when my mail opens without me choosing which ones to open. An example if I delete an email it will open. Up the next one. Anyway to stop this.?
    Thanks in advance.

    On y our iMac you can probably turn off the 'preview pane' (that's what it's called on PC's anyway)
    But on the iPad i don't believe that you have that kind of control.

  • How to stop iphoto from automatically starting when it detects photos?

    I keep photos on my flash drive but don't want iphoto to start up and want to import them everytime I plug in the flash drive. I can't find the setting anywhere...did I just miss it?
    TIA

    It would be best to ask in the iPhoto 6 forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1116 - it is very confusing to have questions (and answers) about different versions in the iPhoto '08 forum

  • 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

  • How to stop iPhoto from opening each time I add a photo using Yosemite

    How to stop iPhoto from opening each time I add a photo using Yosemite

    Add image to iPhoto Library
    From where.  I don't think you can keep it mininmized when importing because if it runs into a duplicate it will present a warning window for you to make a decision in. Therefore, it will always be open when importing.
    You can send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • 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:

  • Avoid iPhoto opening automatically when camera in docking unit

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me to solve a small problem. Somehow, some months ago I must have ticked off a box to make iPhoto open automatically when I press the USB button on my digital camera.
    Now my mac is almost two years old, but works fine, except that iPhoto is incredibly slow. iPhoto using years to open each time I want to pick some pictures from my camera has become extremely annoying, but I can't find out how to turn that function off.. I guess the answer is quite simple?

    Go to Applications -> Image Capture. In the preferences to this app you can decide what happens when a camera is connected.

  • How to stop iPhoto launch when saving pictures in Safari?

    How do I stop iPhoto from automatically launching or coming to the front of the screen every time I want to save a picture I find using Safari?  It's incredibly annoying that each time I click to save one, iPhoto just jumps right into my face.
    Thanks!

    Hi Neil -
    Thanks for getting back so quickly.  Unfortunately this didn't do the trick. 
    Perhaps I should have been more specific: I'm "adding the photos" to my library.  Each time I do this iPhoto launches.
    Thanks!
