I want LR to launch when I connect a CF card

Hi all,
everytime I connect my card reader to my MacBookPro Aperture opens automagically. On my PowerMac it's iPhoto that starts.
In both LR installations I checked the "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected" option in the Preferences dialog -- obviously to no avail (or I didn't get the point here).
I want LR (1.1) to launch when I connect my memory card but I don't know where/how this is stored in Mac OS X.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Stefan.

One hidden place to look is in your Image Capture utility. Open its Preferences, click the General tab, and check which program is set to open when you connect a camera.
Most people don't look there because they don't use the utility, and yet it seems to be a major influence on which program opens.

  • I don't want iTunes to launch when I connect iPhone.  How do I stop this?

    There's a way to rename a file somewhere to prevent either iTunes or iPhoto from launching and mounting iPhone when it is connected. I read about this when I was having a problem one time. I have searched "disable automount itunes" (and other variations) and now I can't find it. Can anybody point me to the thread about this?
    I like iPhoto to launch and mount, but I only use iTunes to upgrade the iOS. I would like iPhoto to automount and iTunes to be voluntary (i.e., clicking on the iTunes dock icon, etc.) I don't want to have to unmount iPhone from iTunes and close iTunes every time I simply want to download photos.
    Thank you.

    With a Mac, you need to remove the iTunes Helper from the login items for your computer's login account.
    System Preferences > Accounts. Select your login account. Under the Login Items tab for your computer login account, select iTunes Helper followed by selecting the - sign to remove iTunes Helper from your login items.
    There is also a way to prevent iPhoto from launching automatically when your iPhone or any digital camera is connected. iPhoto will launch automatically when your iPhone is connected when it includes photos and/or video in your iPhone's Camera Roll only.

  • Windows 7 x64 - iTunes no longer auto launches when I connect iPhone

    Hi
    Ok so i installed Windows 7 x64 and iTunes x64 but now iTunes no longer auto-launches when I connect my iPhone. My PC has no problems finding my iPhone, it does the camera bit and if I start iTunes manually it syncs the iPhone with no issues.
    Does anyone know how I can get iTunes to auto launch again please?

    +it does the camera bit+
    I dont' think it's supposed to be doing this.
    Maybe mindspan's post here will help you

  • My iPad doesn't recognise video files when I connect my sd card with the camera connection kit. It only recognises photos from the same card

    My iPad will only recognise photos when I connect an Sd card with the camera connection kit. It doesn't recognise video clips from the same card?!

    Most probably because your camera records videos into MTS files, which aren't cmpatible with iOS. Read http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/playing-back-1080p60i60p-non-mov-videos-right- your-camera for more info and the alternatives (preprocessing ("remuxing") on a desktop etc); don't forget to follow the iVI review link at the bottom if you have a Mac.

  • ITunes no longer launches when iPhone connected

    Hello all:
    My ITunes no longer launches automatically when I connect my IPhone.
    IPhoto does, but not ITunes. However, once I open it, it connects with my phone and syncs it without an issue.
    I just want it to auto-launch for syncing.
    I've read a few posts about this, but have not seen a clear answer yet.
    The following settings on my phone and laptop are correct (I think):
    --ITunes>iPhone>Summary>"Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" checked
    --ITunes>Preferences>Devices>"Disable automatic syncing for iPhone and iPods" is unchecked
    I noted in one previous post about this that someone mentioned the necessity of having "ITunes Helper" installed in your Login Items, in your Account prefs, in order to have ITunes auto-launch when the iPhone is connected. I do NOT have this app, nor can I find it anywhere on my computer.
    Is this the problem? If so, is ITunes Helper available somewhere?
    Hoping for an answer; I've noticed that a lot of posts on this subject have not gotten responses, and wondering why.

    Find iTunes in your applications folder. Right-click (control-click) on iTunes and select "Show package contents". Look in the "Resources folder" for iTunes helper. Drag it into your Accounts -> Login items list. Restart your Mac.

  • Any way for iPhoto to NOT launch when iPhone connected?

    Hey gang-
    Is there any way to configure iPhoto to NOT launch every time my iPhone is connected to my iMac? I understand why it does it- because there are photos on my iPhone Camera roll- I get it. But I would love for it to NOT launch iPhoto every time. I know I can use Image Capture to tell iPhoto not to launch for ANY camera, but that's overkill. I just want iPhoto to not launch when my iPhone is connected. Is there maybe an app or a terminal command that could configure that?
    Thanks!

    Sure. Go to preferences and select do nothing when a camera is attached.
    This is the way to do this. As you know, it will not open for any camera.
    These are your choices. Sorry.
    Thanks- at least I know I wasn't missing something.
    Okay- how about this? Is there an app that would enable me to move my photos off my Camera Roll and organize them separately? That might solve the problem of iPhoto seeing them.
    Thanks!

  • How do I prevent Elements from launching when I connect a flash drive?

    When I connect a flash drive or SD card to my computer, Photoshop Elements automatically launches a component to save and organize my photos. I already have a system in place to organize my pictures so do not want to use the one from Elements. How do I prevent the program from launching automatically?

      On Windows go to the Control Panel >> AutoPlay
    And change your settings to “Always Ask” for photos and videos and save.
    If your camera, phone or other devices are listed at the bottom you can also change those settings.

  • Help, iTunes refuses to not auto launch when iPhone connected to computer

    Hi, anyone else have this obnoxious problem? I unchecked "auto syncing" and all of the possible disabling options in iTunes>Preferences. Another forum I visted mentioned disabling iTunes Helper. I am having a problem launching iTunes Helper because I did a search from the main Windows Start area (lower left of computer screen), and iTunes Helper does show up with a .exe extension showing it's an application. However, when I click on it, it just disappears. It's also not listed in "My Programs" or when I run "msconfig". Is finding iTunes Helper so I can disable it what I need here to keep iTunes from auto launching when the iPhone is connected, or is my solution in doing something else? I'm using iTunes 9.0.25 Any solid help here is much appreciated!

    I don't have an iPhone but I imagine it is probably similar to using an iPod. When I connect the iPod to the computer and it shows up in iTunes under devices, click on the device (iPhone), in the device screen that appears there is an options section that has a check-box "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected." Un-check it.

    Hello,

    If this is possible, can someone please provide specific instructions on how to do this?

    "+However, there is a workaround solution:+
    +Allowing auto-syncing for all devices in Preferences, and then turning automatic syncing off for the device in Summary, corrects the problem and prevents iTunes from auto-launching when the device is connected.+"
    It may be Mac specific, but maybe not. Try it out. If not, continue to Google for "Disable iTunes Auto Launch (or auto start).

  • TS1501 Image Capture does not launch when I connect my iPhone to my iMac and open iPhoto. No "Prefernces" is offered under Image Capture.  I cannot import photos to iPhoto.

    Can't import photos from iPhone to iPhoto.  Image Capture does not launch when iPhone is connected to my iMac and iPhoto is open.  There is no "Preferences" option offered to click when in Image Capture.

    This helped me. It is advice I found from a user named Carlosmara. First make sure iPhoto is closed and your iPhone is not connected. Then, as Carlosmara stated in his post,
    "Go to your Library/preferences and delete the file com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    IPhoto should recognized the iPhone again."
    The file in question is under your user folder.
    I then restarted my mac and plugged in the iPhone so that it would sync. After the sync, when I opened iPhoto, my iPhone was recognized and I could download the photos perfectly.
    Hopefully this will help you as it helped me

  • Why my itunes does not launch when i connect my iphone to my mac air?

    why does my iTunes not open automatically when i connect my iphone to my Mac Air?

    OK ... I'm going to answer my own question.  I checked the box in iTunes PREFS "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" then went back to the DEVICES screen, iPhone summary, then unplugged the iPhone, and then back to iTunes PREFS and re-checked that box, then quit iTunes.  Then I plugged the iPhone back into the computer and Voila!  iTunes opens and syncs!  Why?  Who knows?
    This did NOT SOLVE the problem of wireless backup ... still not working ... whether iTunes is open or not.

  • How can I prevent iPhoto from auto-launching when I plug in a card reader?

    When I plug in a card reader, iPhoto assumes that it is being summoned and auto-magically launches itself. I don't want this to happen. I don't want iPhoto to ever launch without my permission, which I might grant once a year or so. Yet, every day I have to cope with it launching multiple times as I attempt to transfer photos to my hard drive. It is a minor annoyance, true, but it is an annoyance.
    My question, then, is how can I make iPhoto stop doing this? I've searched its settings high-and-low, but to no avail. I've searched the System Preferences high-and-low, but to no avail. There must be something I'm missing.
    Help me, Apple Forums, you're my only hope!

    Hi John,
    the next info is on using Image Capture to download the images. In the preferences though, you can choose to have nothing open when the camera is connected.
    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.

  • How can I prevent iPhoto from launching when I insert an SD card

    I recently upgraded to a new iMac retina and am having trouble disabling iPhoto from launching when an SD card is inserted.
    I have gone to iPhoto setting and disabled iPhoto from launching when a camera is connected.
    I have also gone into image capture and selected no application as the hidden option for SD card actions when inserted.
    Unfortunately the issue persists... two questions: can I do a terminal level disable to prevent iPhoto from launching or can I remove iPhoto from my computer?

    Have you tried this?
    Open the Image Capture app
    Select your SD Card
    Click the little widget in the bottom right corner of the window
    Select the program to launch, or "No application"
    it worked for me
