IPhoto at start up

How do I stop iPhoto showing when Mac turned on.  Have to use Force Quit to remove.

Some possibilities
1. Make sure it's not selected to launch at Log IN:
Click and hold on the Dock and icon and then check out the 'More Options'
2. Are there are FAT formatted devices connected to your Mac?

  • IPhoto Pictures Start Out Blurry And Become Clear 10 Seconds Later

    I've long been aggravated by the fact that when I'm browsing images in iPhoto, they start out looking pixelated and low-res for about 10 seconds before becoming clear. If I'm in Organize or Edit mode, and have the picture on the screen full sized, and then I hit the right or left arrow, I get an ugly, pixelated enlarged thumbnail and then about 10 seconds later the high-res version finally loads and it looks clear. This makes browsing my photos a real pain, as I have a 10 second wait before I can see each picture in high-res. This has always been a problem with iPhoto - every version I've had since it came out.
    How do I fix this? Is the app just horrible at memory management? I have a very fast computer. Can't iPhoto anticipate that I'm going to view the next photo over (left or right) and pre-load the large size before I get to it?

    There is a lot less lag on later versions. Face it, iPhoto 4 hasn't been in active development for more than 6 years. I wouldn't hold my breath on an update.

  • IPhoto automatically starts up

    I just inherited a G5 at work from a co-worker who left. I've created a new user account and log in under it. But for some reason iPhoto automatically starts when I log in.
    I've looked under my system account preferences for start-up items, but nothing is selected. I don't see any automatic start-up selections under iPhoto preferences either. How can I prevent iPhoto from starting up every time I log in?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the tip about the dock icon, but "open at login" was not checked.
    There is a Lacie hard drive that had been attached to my old G4 that is now plugged into this G5. Perhaps that is the culprit.
    Is there a way to instruct iPhoto not to launch when it thinks a camera (or other USB device) is connected?
    Thanks.

    You could use the Image Capture application.

  • How to disable iPhoto from starting up when I connect a camera?

    I don't use iPhoto, but annoyingly, it starts itself every time I connect my camera to my iMac. How do I disable this? There seems to be nothing in "Preferences".
    I have iPhoto 4. One of the gripes that I have, and a reason I don't use or update iPhoto, is that it seems to be impossible to upload just SOME of the photos in my camera. It's all or nothing. Does anyone know if later versions of iPhoto have fixed this?

    Odd because when I went to the apple store to talk to their "genius bar" when I had a problem with my laptop they said " you can't change that option"i was like...are you kidding me???? So after all this time I finally find this option in the apple forums. T hank you guys this really helped me. I was sick and tired of it starting up every time i connect my digi cam or iphone.

  • How do I delete everything in Iphoto and start over

    I have given up trying to fix my library. I would like to delete everything in old library and hope I can reimport my pictures from disks and edit then again. how do I make sure everything that was in the old library is absolutely, positively gone so that it (hopefully) doesn't mess up again? Just trash the library everywhere I can find it and start importing again?

    They were showing up when I launched IPhoto. But when trying to upload, I would browse and find pictures, then Iphoto Library. In Iphoto library, the new albums, folders, etc., were not showing up - it still had the old ones so I would have had to look at each picture in it to make sure it was the right one.
    Example: In my first Iphoto library, I had a file called wedding, one called wedding 2, etc. My pictures kept disappearing and I did what you suggested and created a new library and they showed back up. But when I organized them in the new library, I had a file called wedding and one called bridesmaids. When browsing to upload photos, my Iphoto library on the computer still had the old file names in it.
    That's why I'm wondering if I need to completely delete everything and start over.

  • Whenever i start iphoto, it starts connected to Facebook and start uploading my photos to face book which i do not want., whenever i start iphoto, it starts connected to Facebook and start uploading my photos to face book which i do not want.

    Whenever I start iphoto on my macbook pro, its start connecting to facebook and uploading my photos, which i donot want to upload.  Please advise, how to stop iphoto to connecting from facebook.

    Then change that setting in iPhoto. First disconnect your system from the net, IE turn off the WiFi and disconnect the Ethernet cable if one is connected. Then open iPhoto and open the preferences and in the Accounts section remove Facebook. You might also want to look in the sharing section.

  • IPhoto wont start up

    after installing leopard, iPhoto will not launch. when i click on the iPhoto icon the iPhoto window opens and i cannot use any of the controls. then (in about 10 or 15 seconds) the iPhoto window closes and i get the warning: "the application iPhoto quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not effected. click relaunch to launch the application again"...etc...
    when i try to relaunch the same thing happens over and over again...?
    any ideas?

    What version of iphoto is this? v2 is not supported on 10.5.
    Otherwise: Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • IPhoto auto start

    How do you stop iPhoto starting automatically when iPhone or iPad are connected?

    On your Mac find the Image Capture application. It is in the Applications or Utilities folder. Start Iage Capture and select Preferences. Under what to do when a camera is connect select something else. Keep in mind this application controls what happened when a camera is connected. Your iPad is recognized as a camera when there are items in the Imported or Camera Roll albums. If you select iTunes to be opened then iTunes will open when any camera is connected.
    I'd suggest that you select "Nothing."

  • IPhoto not start

    I'm having trouble with start iPhoto. When the start appears a colorful spinning disk and iPhoto does not start. This occurred during a importing session. What should I do to solve the problem without losing the imported pictures?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How do I prevent iPhoto from starting every time I connect to a camera card?

    Every time I put in a camera card iPhoto starts. Is there a way to prevent this short of deleting iPhoto from the applications?

    In the iphoto Preferences disable "connecting Camera opens" - set it to "No application".
    If that does not suffice, do the same in Image Capture:
    In Image Capture - with your camera card inserted- click the disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the window to reveal the menu to set the preferences for the device:
    Then set the option to "Connectiong this ... opens"  to "No application"

  • When I turn on iCloud in iPhoto everything starts to run super slow.

    This has been happening for a while but since I have a MacBook Pro that I don't have this problem on,  as well as my iMac which i do have this problem on, I haven't worried about it but now i'm getting annoyed.  When I open iphoto, without photostream on, everything is fine.  As soon as I click on photostream or icloud everything in iphoto starts running super slow.  If I click on a photo it takes about 10 seconds for it to highlight, scrolling is about 10 seconds behind as well.  If i close iphoto with icloud on, it will not open back up.  I get a error report.  If I turn off icloud/photostream then everything is fine.  I can scroll through my pictures with no problem at all.  I have about 400 pictures on my mac.  Anybody else have this problem?  Anybody have a fix? 
    This has been happening for over 6 months, before Mavericks and before my current version of iphoto.
    Here are my specs:
    iphoto v 9.5.1
    iMac 21.5, mid 2011
    2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
    OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
    I have 270 GB of free space. 
    Thanks in advance.

    What generation is your iPod? My sister's 2g/3g(I'm not sure which) was doing something similar, but it would put a different graphic on the screen every time. We took it in to the apple store and they didn't determine what it was. One thing they said to try was to restore it and gradually add content on to see if it's an app or something loaded on it. If that doesn't work then they said it's probably something in the software or firmware. They gave her the option of getting one exactly like the one she had or getting the new one like I have. She ended up getting the new one on sale at target.

  • IPhoto 6 starts automatically after reboot, how to avoid ?

    Every time I reboot my Imac, Iphoto starts automatically.
    It is not active in Accounts / Login Items
    Also no camera is attached to the computer; The settings for ImageCapture are to launch EOS Utility if a camera would be attached.
    Any clues ?
    Thanks,

    Xinram
    Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock, see if 'Open at Log in' is checked.
    Do you have a FAT format disk or USB flash drive connected to the Mac?
