I can't plug my 4S in without it trying to import photos.

I have a 4S. Everytime I plug it into my PC (Windows 8.1), a window pops up. It shows all the photos on my phone, and asks me if I want to import them. It's very annoying. The window will come up and take over the screen, no matter what I have running. How can I turn this off?

Do you not want to import your photos to your computer at all? Once you import them, it will only ask if there are new photos to import, and you really should be backing them up to your computer. If you don't, and anything happens to your device, only the photos on your last Camera Roll backup, and those in Photo Stream (1 month or 1000 photos, whichever comes first) will be retrievable.
If you are certain that you do not want to back up your photos, here is a support link for Windows Photo Importing and Settings:

  • I am trying to import photo's on i photo.  It downloads all of the pictures on my camera, how do i only select the photos i want?  Is there a way to do this without selecting one photo at a time? is there a way to select multiple images?  thanks!

    To select consecutive images click and drag the cursor over multiple thumbnails to select all at once.
    To select multiple images that are randomly located hold down the Command(⌘) key and click on those images you want to select.
    Or to select consecutive images from a list of images that are together hold down the Shift key and and click on the first photo you want to select and the on the last photo you want in the list.

  • I am re importing all my CD's into iTunes. I used a higher Kbps in mp3. I am up to almost 7,000 songs, and the Gb's used is almost at 50 gigs. Am I able to lower the Kbps so I can bring down the gigs used without having to re import the CD's all over agai

    I am re importing all my CD's into iTunes. I am using a higher Kbps in mp3 format. I have over 6,000 songs so far, and I have already used around 50 gigabytes. I want to know that if I want to change to a lower Kbps instead in mp3 to lower the gigs used, how can I do that without having to re import all my CD's all over again. My iPod Classic is the 160 Gb model. My version of iTunes is 10.6,and I am using a Windows 7 computer.

    You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
    If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.

    he only photos that would have the trash can are those that you take with the iPhone camera. Other photos are handled through the sync process in iTunes.

    I'm wanting to sync my ipod to itunes without losing any info that is currently on it. An internet search has shown differnt programs but they are not free.Can anyone help me?

    For the music, you can transfer your music from your old computer to your new computer using an external HHD, once the music are in your new computer, open up itunes and add your music folder to the itunes library, do the same with videos.
    For your apps, log into your your itunes account and there you will find your "purchased" apps list. Cilck on purchase to see the list and download them again back to your computer.

  • I can no longer access my iphoto library after trying to transfer photos to dropbox.

    Help! I'm a IT hopeless. I can no longer open my iphoto library witihout a message saying can't access without using iphoto upgrader.  It worked a treat before I tried to upload lib. to dropbox. What do I do?

    Thanks, Leonie
    I went into finder on my new iMac, clicked on 'pictures' and my library suddenly appeared, when I hadn't been able to access it using the icon on the bottom of the desktop without being told I had to update the photos before accessing.
    Since I'd been accessing the library with no problem, I simply assume that my bumbling attempt to save the library to Dropbox caused bad things to happen.
    Scary when you're an IT ignorant like me! And why a supportive response like yours helps take away that feeling I was not just helpless but alone.

  • Can't get past the library icon when trying to attach photos

    When I try to attach photos in an e-mail application (other than the mac mail program) I click "attach" then select "pictures", then the library icon appears but there is no list of the photos contained in the library. I have tried "control-click. to open this but it doesn't work. I've been using Macs since my first Classic in the late 80's but I can't figure this one. ANy help? Thanks.

    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you're using a cocoa browser like Safari, then you can drag the pic from the iPhoto Window to the attach window. Or you can create a quick media browser using Automator.
    The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

  • I have absolutely no use for "Events" in iPhoto: can I get rid of this concept? I am importing photos maybe one or a dozen times a day and cannot avoid creating a new event each time. Or can I?

    As my long question implies (sorry, should have kept it shorter) I have a problem with being forced to have Events in my iPhoto'11 9.2.3 (629.52) on my MacBook 10.6.8. My habit is to unload the camera constantly, whether I have taken a single shot or a whole series. Each new addition creates an Event which actually bothers me!
    Is there a way of avoiding this? If I erase an event from iPhoto the photos will disappear from the Library it seems ... Please help with your advice. Thanks! Sigrid.

    Thanks, OT!
    When I look at my odd(?) habits of dealing with iPhoto anyone will see that I have a very simplistic approach: I never let one single Library get bigger than 300 or 400 photos, then back it up as is and make a separate, manual backup of the different albums as named by myself on an external HD. Then I delete the Library as such from my Mac but can reinstate it from the backups as I please. The backups are properly labelled, of course.
    I get dizzy when I read about libraries of thousands of photos, of keywords, ratings, smart albums etc. because this just wouldn't apply to my so-called system. So instead of using Faces and Places, my album names show clearly what's in them - "skies and scenery" Euskadi, "bugs and birds at Fancourt", "inventories", "people" (separate for my circle of people and characters from media), "my dog" etc., usually a bunch of 20 albums or so depending on my whereabouts. Quite manageable!
    I've been doing just fine with this method and would recommend it ... but others are much brighter ;-) and use the offered (and to me too advanced) features of iPhoto, if they prefer these. Now that I know how to get rid of Events by merging them into one, I at least feel a little freer there.
    Well, it's 1:25AM my time, gotta go ...

  • After upgrading to MAC OS X 10.10.2 Lightroom 5 has an error that it cannot read the card when trying to import photos.  The card is fine as I can import into iPhoto so any ideas?

    After upgrading to MAC OS X 10.10.2 Lightroom 5 cannot read the card (RAW files , converting to DNG) when importing.  The card is fine as I can import into iPhoto - any ideas?

    It’s usually necessary to trash the prefs after updating OSX to Yosemite. Start by quitting Lightroom 5.
    Launch Finder and click the Go menu whilst holding down the Option (alt) key. Then go to:
    Library >> Preferences
    clear everything relating to LR5 which usually means deleting the following files:
    com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist
    com.adobe.Lightroom5LSSharedFileList.plist
    Then re-launch Lightroom.

    Make a back up first of course.
