How turn off Photos autostarting when connecting iPad

When I connect my iPad Mini 3 (iOS 8.3) to Yosemite 10.10.3 over USB, my MacBook Pro always starts Photos.
How do I turn off Photos autostarting?
My iPad is a test bed for apps, so Photos always comes over my Xcode screen when I least want it
Besides, there is no pictures on the iPad to sync anyway
I've been looking in the manuals and on the forums here, to no avail. That is why I turn to you.
Thanks, Eburon

I found the answer, so I'd happily share it:
Follow these steps to turn off iPhoto’s auto-startup when you connect your iOS device to your Mac:
Connect your iOS device to your Mac via your Lightning or 30-pin sync cable. (iPhoto will open one last time, go ahead and close it.)
Open the Image Capture app. (It’s in your Applications folder.)
Click on your iOS device in the left-hand pane.
At the bottom left of the Image Capture window, you’ll see a pull-down option allowing you to select what happens when your connect this iOS device to your Mac. (You may need to click the tiny “up” arrow in the lower left corner before you see this option.)
The top option is “No application.” Click that option to select it.
Close out the app. iPhoto should no longer pop-up every time you connect you iOS device to you Mac.
With special thanks to Kirk McElhearn, (via The Loop), for the original tip and Chris Hauk for making me find it on Google.

Can ifplugd@.service turn off wireless interface when connected?

... and turn it back on when disconnected?
If so, how?
That would be swell.

Well, I tried adding commands like `ip link set wlp2s0 up` and `ip link set wlp2s0 down` to /etc/ifplugd/netctl.action in the obvious places, but no bacon. Not sure why this wouldn't work, since ifplugd is running as root... still tinkering...
edit: it looks like no arbitrary commands can be run in netctl.action. What kind of bash script is this anyway? Makes me wonder if I have [email protected] enabled correctly... but it seems to be working otherwise, so I guess it must be...

HT204022 How can I turn off photo stream without deleting photos permanently?

I am wondering how I can turn off photo stream on my iPad and iPhone without permanently deleting the photos on my MacBook pro. When I try to turn off photo stream, it says it will delete my photos.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Import them into an event(s) before you delete them from photo stream

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

Turning off photo stream on a lab of iPads sharing an iCloud account

I've turned off photo stream in iCloud on a lab of 30 iPads using the same iCloud account. In the iCloud settings though, it shows that Photos is on even though when I tap Photos it shows Photo Stream is off. What can I do to really turn it off? Is it possible there is another device outside of the lab using this iCloud account that has photo stream turned on?

You can't save photos in iCloud that are not also on your device. If you delete them from your phone, they will also be deleted from iCloud and they will be lost. Normally, you would save them to your camera roll (unless they are already there), then import them to a computer as explained here: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support. If you don't have access to a computer, you'll need to upload them to a different cloud service prior to deleting them, such as Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/84).
Another option is to save any photos in your photo stream that are not already in your camera roll to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Once they are in your camera roll, you can go to Settings>iCloud and turn off photo stream. This will remove the photo stream photos from your device (and free up the space they are using) but you'll still have them in your camera roll.

That is so dumb...Apple is the best and most techinological company IN THE WORLD and they don't have the time to invent something like that? HUH? All they are worried about is making the "Worlds best Phone" and they can't take the time out to help their users or anybody that has their products. All they have is "Find mt Iphone" Well they should step up and do something else to help people like me out. Find a way to turn it on and you can find it or find a way to turn it on remotely.
Thank you for your replys

How can I turn off other languages on my ipad the next generation running ios7? I have the international language set to English but it's showing a foreign language and sometimes it shows the foreign language with English. Thank you.

The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field. The screen that opens up has your bookmarks on it. In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'. Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off. Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work. This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.

How do you turn off Auto-Sync without connecting the ipod to PC?

My Purchased Tracks was deleted off my computer, but I still have all of them on my ipod. I have iTunes 7, so I am aware I can transfer all my purchased music from my ipod to itunes. But I know auto-sync is set up, so when I connect it to my computer, won't it automatically sync itunes with my ipod and therefore delete my purchased music on my ipod? Can I turn off auto-sync without connecting my ipod?

A couple of ways...
Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys when you plug in the iPod. (For a PC)
Or...
Connect your iPod, but before it starts to sync, click that little X on the right hand side of the ITunes display at the top of the page. (Next to the "Do Not Disconnect" message.)
Then click box at bottom that says manually manage music.
