IPhoto 5.0.4 not launching when digital camera is connected
Normally my iphoto opens automatically when I plug in my camera. But today it decided not to work- I've tried unplugging and replugging but to no avail. I'd appreciate all the help I can get. My camera model is Sony DSC-T1 (silver).
I also had some issues with my Cinema Display- for some reason the screen is blank when I turn on the computer- it's only when I unplug the power supply and replug it than it wakes up. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the power supply.
Thanks

Hi there,
Just out of curiousity are you still able to download your images?
I do not have my iPhoto set up to automatically open when a camera is connected to my machine, but if I do open iPhoto, it does connect with camera and I am able to down load images.
PhillyPhan gave great advice and if you tried all 3, I'm stumped but if you can still download photos, then it's some kind of preference that needs to be adjusted... please let us know...

IPhoto launches when a camera is connected
I recently installed the newest version of iPhoto, and on the first startup it asked me if I wanted "iPhoto to start when a camera is connected to the computer". I mistakenly pressed "yes", and now I can't find anywhere in the preferences where I can turn this feature off. I'd much rather organize the photos on my hard drive before importing them to iPhoto, so I would appreciate it if this feature could be turned off.
Hi A,
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. -
IPhoto (9.3.2) not launching when I plug in my iPhone 4S
Seems the recent update to iPhoto has broken the connection with my iPhone 4s. I have changed my iPhoto preferences to not launch/launch iPhoto when the iPhone is plugged in. Restarted iPhoto, my iMac and my iPhone. Still, each time I plug in my iPhone, I cannot connect it to iPhoto to import my pictures.
Any ideas or suggestions?Try this:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.

Disconnect Error when Digital camera is connected
This is the third time now the Disconnect Error pops up when I connect and turn on my digital camera. After the error pop-up goes away, iPhoto asks if I want to import photos and all photos import fine.
I looked in Console to see if there is anything and I found this:
** (process:5105): CRITICAL **: gaimaccount_getstate: assertion `account != NULL' failed
2007-04-26 21:53:03.369 iPhoto[5747] * -[NSTextField setAllowsMultipleSelection:]: selector not recognized [self = 0xc1d1d30]
It all started after I switched USB cables, both are from Sony, 1 for the digital camera and the other for the digital camcorder. I tried the digital cameras original cable but I still got the same error pop-up.
What is causing the disconnect error when I always Eject the icon before disconnecting the USB cable?R.Bud.U:
Try reformatting the card with the camera. Not just erase but a reformat. I do that after every upload. See if that will clean up that error message.

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!

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 does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?
Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?
The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.

After updating to Lightroom CC 2015, it will not launch when i click on the icon.
After updating to Lightroom CC 2015, it will not launch when I click on the icon. A window gets up: "__crtCreateSymbolicLinkW" not found in DLL "MSVCR110.dll". Same failure occurs when I start Photoshop CC.

Itunes 10.4 not launching when connecting iphone
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Just updated iTunes to 10.4. iTunes will not launch when connecting the iPhone to my MacBook Pro. Once connected, manually opening iTunes will allow the sync to happen, but only then. iTunes helper app is there in Login items.
Minor inconvenience, but could be a problem if I miss too many syncs due to this.
Any thoughts?I had the exact same problem upgrading iTunes to 10.4 on Snow Leopard. It looks like there's a problem with iTunesHelper under Login Items. I found the solution here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15666966 Simply follow the instructions to re-add iTunesHelper to Login Items, restart, and you should be good to go!

Mail Not Launching When Trying to Open from User Folder
Mail is not launching when I try to open it from within the home folder in my user folder. I have reported the problem to Apple.
It does, however, launch when I try to open it from within the Applications folder.
Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance.
RussellI do have a MS Intellipoint driver of some kind, what do you mean by "check for it"? Try a different mouse? If I uninstall the driver, will any mouse still work?
This might not have any effect on your Adobe programs, but earlier InteliPoint drivers have caused major issues with several Adobe programs. Going back a couple of years, MS did change the InteliPoint drivers, and all was good for about a year. Then, recently, a change was made, and other problems developed with Adobe programs. Most of these were noted in Adobe PrPro. I do not recall any here.
In those other cases, the users replaced the InteliPoint drivers with the generic mouse drivers, and the problems disappeared. Do not know if this will have any impact on your issue, but GUI problems have been cleared up with the replacement of the InteliPoint drivers.
All that I hope is that you will find a cure to this issue. I would be very nervous, should my Assets disappear from my Windows Explorer, or similar.
Good luck,

I TRY TO OPEN IPHOTO AND I COULD NOT. WHEN I CLICK ON THE ICON DID NOT EVEN BOUNCE. THEN I DRAGED IT ON MY DESKTOP AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE ICON ANYWHERE, what can i do???
iOS? or OSX
OSX = Finder > Applications > iPhoto. Double click the app to open it.
The icon (alias) will then be back on the dock. Right click the Icon > Keep in Dock.
Icons dragged off the dock vanish in a puff of smoke.. they are only aliases (shortcuts)
If you mean iOS I can't really understand what is happening.. -

ITunes fails to launch when iPhone 5 is connected
With the 11.1.3 (8) upgrade, iTunes fails to launch when my iPhone 5 is connected to my MacPro. iPhoto launches automatically, as expected. When I manually launch iTunes, it will recognize the phone, but I must manually sync it and back it up. When I select the iPhone, open SUMMARY and view Options (at the bottom of the page), Options, the box that says "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" is grayed-out and cannot be checked or selected. I've re-downloaded and re-installed iTunes, to no avail. Any tips on how to restore this basic functionality?

It sounds like the next best step to take would be to reset the iPod Shuffle.
