MacPro stop FaceTime opening when connecting camera

MacPro stop FaceTime opening when connecting camera

thanks for helping, but i already saw this thread.
Ive got the same problem than this people, given my camera is firewire iidc.
"Unfortunately, FireWire video cameras are not recognized as imaging sources, so Image Capture doesn't pick them up. As a result, you can't use Image Capture to prevent FaceTime from accessing this video camera"
Another solution?
using Terminal?
killing facetime?

How do I stop iMessage opening on my laptop

iPhone 5c / MacBook pro (brand new)
Turned off accounts on laptop iMessage .However, iMessage opens on my laptop every time I open the text app on my phone. Instead of showing me texts, now it asks me to log in.
Saw in another post about going to phone--Settings--Messages--stop text forwarding. But I don't have that option. There is nothing in the Messages section to stop text forwarding.
I don't want my computer to open anything or react in any way to text messages.
Thanks for the help...

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 do I stop iPhoto opening when not wanted?

I don't use iPad - I prefer Lightroom. So when my iMac was updated to Yosemite iPhoto started opening every time I plug a compact flash card into the iMac. This is annoying to say the least as each time I have to close it making sure it doesn't start importing images into the wrong place.
How do I "turn off" this feature? No is no help in the iPhoto "help" and online Apple isn't any better.

Changing this in iPhoto alone may not suffice. Then change the setting in Image Capture as well.
Insert your Compact Card reader with the card inserted.
Then launch Image Capture.
Under "Devices" select your card reader. Then click the disclosure triangle in the lower left corner to reveal the ""Connecting this ... opens" and set this to Light Room or "No Application".
You will have to do this for each photo device (camera, iPhone, iPad, ...) you own.

Stop program opening when device (camera) is connected.

When I connect a range of things (camrea, SD memory card from camera, iPhone, and iPad) the system assumes I want Aperture to open. I know there must be some way to change the application that starts.
What I really want to do is stop any application from starting.
Thaks very much.

The Aperture->Preferences->Import is where I found it. No application is one of the choices.
Thanks

How do i stop programmes opening when i start up the computer

When i turn the mac book on it keeps opening all my programmes. How do i stop this?

Remove the check in this box when you log out:

Why does iMessage open when I"m chatting in google?

Why does the login to iMessage window open up when I'm chatting through gmail?

Hi,
By default the first thing the Messages app asks you to do is enter an Apple ID to use for the iMessages account.
You can ignore this and use the set up to add other accounts (or use the System Preferences > Internet Accounts to enable them).
If it is not already, I would go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and in the iMessages account untick the box for "Enable this Account" even if it does not have an Apple ID.

Want new workspace to open when launching Bridge CS4

Have set up new workspace option and would like to be default when opening bridge
at the moment when launching bridge it opens in compact mode.

Ms Tjäder is correct. Perhaps your preferences files have become corrupted. Hold down the Option key as you launch Bridge and keep holding it down unil you see a dialog box asking you for appropriate instructions to delete the preferences and re-set them.

Want sidebar to be open when slideshow begins

Hi
Is there a way that we can set the sidebar to default as open rather than the user having to click on the video icon?
Thanx

You will have to live with it. This is one of the mysteries of Adobe's programmers which will probably never be solved. For example, my Indesign CS6 never remembers being closed with maximised window, my Photoshop CS6 does. Every application, at least before CC, is different to the next, because programmed by different divisions. Just compare the GUIs of a freshly installed PS, AI and ID. All in different colour and layout. Even if you set up the GUI colour to the lightest grey you can select, it is equal between PS and AI, but different to ID, for example (see below). AI and ID have buttons for Bridge and others in the top bar, PS has none.

Why does a mystery application try to open when I login?

I wonder if anyone can help me with an issue I'm having with a mystery application trying to open.
Every time I wake my iBook G4 from sleep, or I start it from shutdown (I am the only user), I see an application is trying to open at the right side of the dock. It shows as the generic application "A" starting to open, but then it suddenly vanishes. On the advice of a Mac-user friend, I went to System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items and removed everything there, then rebooted my machine, but I still have the same problem.
From my unfortunate experiences with PCs, I remember this type of login behavior usually indicates the machine is infected with a virus. Is that what is causing my iBook problem? I have the Firewall turned on, and I'm running Norton Antivirus for Mac (which has found nothing in repeated scans). What should I try next? Any help with this would be really appreciated.

It's difficult to say what the application may be if you can't see its name, but in the Dock, the name won't show unless you are pointing at the icon. If you can get your mouse there fast enough (maybe put it in the right place, sleep, then wake your Mac?) you might see the app name before it closes. Then you'll have a better idea what it is.
You might also try the Activity Monitor application, which is in the /Applications/Utilities folder. It shows all the running processes, so you might be able to catch the app name before it closes.
When you know what the application is called, you may decide it's not a problem at all. If it's still unclear, come back and post it, and maybe someone will be able to tell you what it is. Lots of applications use little "helper apps," and it's possible it could be something like that. It's best to know what it is, but it's probably harmless.

Stop image capture from opening when iphone is connected ?

how do i get "image capture" to stop auto opening when i connect my iphone ?
i have set image capture to open when i connect a camera, but i don't want it to open when i connect the iphone.
is this possible ?

Chenks,
The way you have it set, Image Capture will open whenever it detects photos that have been taken with the iPhone. To prevent it, you can just import the photos you've taken with the iPhone to your computer and then erase them off the phone (you can then sync them back to the phone if you want them), or you can set Image Capture to not open when any camera is connected. That will apply to other digital cameras as well as the iPhone.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.
