IPhoto always opens when the iPhone is attached even with no new pictures..
Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
Yes, let it import the camera roll pictures that are on the iPhone and let it "delete originals" and then let iTunes sync photos and you will have your pics but the camera roll will be available again.
No "new" pictures does not make any difference when you have not let iPhoto delete originals when it imports the images. iPhoto will open whenever it detects images on the camera roll.

Review of the iPhone 3G: Finding Bliss with my new iPhone 3G
☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻
10/10 happy faces
I bought the new iPhone 3G a couple of weeks ago (the first Apple product I have owned), and I have to tell you--I LOVE IT! It is sheer "bliss". The phone is sleek and easy to hold. More importantly, it is super easy to use. Everything is activated by touch or a quick flick of your finger. And it's FUN! I've never had a "fun phone" before this.
I would recommend this phone to anyone, especially to those who have problems using the regular phone-style keypad to text. It is also the perfect phone to give to someone who may be "technically challenged" because once you comprehend how it works, it is easy to use.
Here are some of the things I like about the iPhone 3G:
Usefulness & User Friendly
In the past, my other cell phones have been used for the calendar, once in a blue moon for the game on it, but mostly as a phone--that's it. With my iPhone, I can:
-download my email contact list in Outlook (or others) so that I have all my contacts on my phone
-call friends just by touching their name in my contact list
-activate the speaker by one touch during any call
-access the internet and enlarge parts of any website or turn the iPhone horizontally for easier reading
-send out a Twitter post in seconds
-plan my schedule in the calendar (I actually use this more now)
-use Google Maps to help me navigate and GPS to see exactly where I am and what's around me (makes ordering pizza a breeze)
-download numerous applications, music, videos etc from iTunes, plus from my computer (did that all on day 1)
-take great pictures; it's a camera too--I can view them separately or as a slideshow
-download photos from my laptop or PC to my phone
-get a TV guide app that will show me what's on TV--great for when I'm traveling (only US for now but they promise Canadian compatibility is on the way)
-get a movie app that shows me what movies are on, where and when (even in Canada!)
-gives me a direct link to YouTube so I can watch clips (get the 6G or higher data package!)
-check the weather forecast for the week--anywhere (great for when traveling!)
-check our stocks (not a pretty picture right now!)
-set world clocks (great for traveling!)
-play numerous games that I can download from iTunes (many simulate the Wii experience)
-use as an iPod, complete with headphones and speaker so I can take calls while listening to music (much like having a bluetooth)
-send and receive email (easy to read and to type)
-easily send text messages*
-type notes and email them to myself so I can save on my PC**
*Texting
I could text on my last phone, but I hated using the tiny numerical keypad. I'm not a teenager that can rapidly fire off a whole paragraph in mere seconds. It took me forever to type a text message. So I rarely used that function.
With my new iPhone, texting is a breeze--and fun. It is made easy by the use of a simulated keyboard that pops up. Since I'm a writer, using a keyboard is second nature to me. The letters on the iPhone keyboard are quite large and easy to tap. When you tap a letter and hold for a second, the letter pops up enlarged, making it easier to read for those of us who have vision issues. I don't even need my reading glasses for this.
All text conversations are stored so you can flick back over a conversation that may have taken place over weeks. You can read both sides of the conversation in colored balloons. Or you can erase the conversation and start fresh.
**Notes
The notes application opens to a legal pad (yellow pad with lines). All you have to do is tap on a line to drop the cursor, then use the keyboard to type. With all typing on this phone, you can touch and hold and a magnifying bubble comes up, helping you to see the text more easily. This way you can move the cursor if you need to correct something. With the iPhone's smart technology, it'll offer you suggestions for words that you accept by tapping the space bar.
Finding Bliss
Two nights ago, I discovered just how much this note app will help me. I write novels--suspense mainly. Because my imagination is so active and is always "on", I am often blasted with an idea for a novel at the least convenient time. Sometimes while I'm driving, sometimes while I'm watching TV. In these cases, I scramble around for paper, write down my thoughts, then end up losing or misplacing the paper if I haven't entered the info on my computer.
Two nights ago this happened. I was watching TV and a commercial came on. It was for Bliss chocolates. First, it made me want chocolate (lol). But the more I looked at the word "Bliss" in its pretty scrolling font, the more I started to picture a young girl--named Bliss.
Then...BAM!
I was blasted with a story that made me sit up in my chair and reach for my iPhone. I couldn't let this idea or Bliss escape. I had to capture her story right away. So I made some notes. When I was done I had a very brief plot outline. I was extremely happy to see that I could email it to myself, which I did. Then I went on my PC, opened the email and copied the text into a new folder with the title of this new YA novel--Finding Bliss.
The following day I told my husband about my new novel idea and about Bliss and my iPhone note feature. While we sat in the mall, another piece of her story showed itself to me. So out came my iPhone, type-type-type send.
As my husband and I talked, he gave me a terrific idea. *I am going to write Finding Bliss on my iPhone!* A complete novel, using the notes feature. The iPhone will also be featured in my novel; someone will be using it. Marc suggested I contact Apple and let them know what I'm doing and how I'm using the new iPhone 3G. I think that's a great idea. They might get a kick out of the fact that a bestselling Canadian author is using her iPhone to write a novel.
I have already started Chapter 1 of Finding Bliss. My plan is to write it on the iPhone, then edit it on my PC.
As for Bliss chocolates, I bought a bag to celebrate. They're heavenly.
And my new novel? It will be a project of love.
Finding Bliss will be an emotional, heartwarming story of a teenager who must fight to survive a world of abuse, lies and loss. As she struggles to find herself, Bliss will discover exactly where she belongs and she'll learn that she is worthy of love after all.
~Cheryl Kaye Tardif,
bestselling author of Whale SongWow, what a great review. But that's expected from a writer. I had an HTC Touch but it had to be rebooted after 20 to 30 minutes of play. It got kinda boring. I cant put this iphone down.
You forgot to add you can do full sentences without abbreviating when texting or emailing. It's that easy! -
Prevent iPhoto from opening when iPhone is connected?
Does anyone know if there is a way to keep iPhoto from opening when my iPhone is connect BUT do the opposite when my digital still cam is connected? I like having iPhone auto-launch for my canon cam, but not when I connect the iPhone.
I believe I've come across an article by someone who set up a script to run when a camera is connected, and the script detects what kind of camera and then launches or not launches iPhoto as desired. Yeah, here it goes:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080301133957211
Seems overkill to me---I find it easy enough to manually launch iPhoto when I connect a camera, but hey, to each their own. -
When I plug my iphone into my mac to charge/sync, iphoto always opens before itunes and takes a time to close. How can I stop iphoto from opening automatically please
In iphoto go to preferences > general and al the bottom will be a drop down menu that will say connecting camera opens: just change this from iphoto to no application

Has anyone had this problem?
This is the Mac Mini forum
Does iTunes see the iPhone?
If you open iPhoto does it see the iPhone?
See:
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer
Have you installed any third-party camera or scanner software? -
How do I turn off auto-launch of iPhoto when the iPhone is connected
I hate it that whenever I connect my iPhone to my MBP iPhoto automatically launches. Any help is appreciated.
JacobTo do that follow these steps
Go into Applications
Open Image Capture
Next to the blue apple to left hand corner, click on image capture
Go into Preferences
At the top of the window that opens, change option: When A Camera is connected, Open:
Change the drop down menu to no application
That should prevent iphoto from opening when phone is connected. -
How do I stop iPhoto from opening when i plug in my iPhone?
How do I stop Iphoto from opening when I plug in my Iphone?
Having the preference in iPhoto makes perfect sense to me. After all, iPhoto is the application that opens. You would expect that is where you should provide some guidance not to open.
What puzzles me much more is why you would post this comment more than 18 months after wjosten answered the original question. -
How can I email a video clip I downloaded into my iPhoto library to my friends? I tried creating an email and attaching the clip but there is no sound and no picture when the 5 minute attachment "plays." How can I file=>export it to them from iPhoto?
Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

I have set up iPhoto 11 so that pictures will be edited in Photoshop elements 11. I selected the option to edit in another application. But when I select edit in iPhoto, elements opens but the photo does not open in elements. I'm using a Macbook pro 15 inch with retina display with OS 10.8.4 What is the problem?

I backed up my iPhone onto iCloud, and now any new pictures I take don't save in my camera roll. And when I try to open the photo app it turns white and eventually it closes out of the app.

no

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage. -
Why does iPhoto always open/appear at launch?
Why does iPhoto always open/appear at launch? Someone used my computer under another account, and now my preferences seem to be changed. How do I fix it so iPhoto must me opened manually?
Some possibilities:
Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.

When I open iPhoto5, the list (albums, trash, etc.) next to pictures has disappeared. How can I get it back?
You can move your cursor to the far left of the iPhoto window and grab side of the source pane and drag it open - or
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
