IPhoto Auto open/import

Everytime I connect my new iPhone 3G to my Mac (running Tiger) - it syncs and opens iPhoto.
iPhoto then invites me to import all the images on the iPhone.
Can I do one of two things:
1) Can I stop iPhoto from opening on connection?
or
2) Is it possible to have iPhoto open on connection and automatically import the NEWEST photos only to a specific album?
I am running iPhoto 06

I also have the same question. It's a bit annoying to have iPhoto open every time I connect my iPhone to sync w/my laptop when I haven't taken any new photos w/it.

How to remove iPhoto auto open when device connects with USB?

Hi
When I connect any device using USB cable (mobile,tablet) on my Mac PC , iPhoto starts up and hangs my system for sometime ...
Thank You.

Hello there wasylultra,
It sounds like your computer is becoming unresponsive whenever you plug in any USB device that has or takes photos, because iPhoto launches automatically and takes a while to open. You can change this preference in iPhoto itself to open either iPhoto, Image Capture, or no application at all when you connect a device:
iPhoto '11: Change what happens when you connect a camera to your computer
To choose the application that opens:
Make sure no cameras are connected to your computer.
Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click General.
Choose an option from the “Connecting camera opens” pop-up menu.
The title of the article mentions iPhoto '11 but the same steps hold true for iPhoto 2013.

All the best,

How to disable iPhoto auto open?

IPod connection causes iPhoto to Open not iTunes

Each time I connect my iPod Touch to my laptop, iPhoto opens, not iTunes. How do I stop this from happening? Itunes should be the default program when the iPod is attached. Thank you.

same for me now MARCH and cannot get it to open, it finds one new photo, even if I delete off of ipod it keeps opening iphoto instead and cannot get into itunes for syncing my itouch! I see no settings inside iphoto to stop auto syncing! The disc image that usually appears on desktop when plug in itouch does not appear either.
I even tried deleting pic from itouch it wants to download (even tho' it's a duplicate inside of iphoto)and then close iphoto and open itunes, and spinning ball is there and freezes of itunes EVERY TIME! If i disconnect ipod and open itunes I see my device listed in settings but it won't open my itouch! itouch vs 3.1.3, iTunes vs 9, mac 10.4.11.
Someone please help us!

How do i make websites auto open when i open firefox

i am trying to have 3 tabs auto open when i first open firefox , i had a friend try to set it up for me but now one of the tabs that auto opens it the "firefox add-ons" page. i want to remove it from the auto open list but i have no idea why, i would also like t add a few pages

Is it selected in iPhoto's General preference pane?
If it is and still not working correctly try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, reset iPhoto's preferences and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Auto opening

Probably a simple solution but where in preferences (my guess) do I go to stop the auto start up of iPhoto when I sync my iPad or iPhone?
Most of the time, I do not want or need iPhoto to open and would like to shut this feature off.
There is nothing in preferences that I can find to help.
I was given the option when I first installed the application but that's long gone.
Thanks,
Joe

SOrry - I guess it has changed
in Image capture ==> help ==> preferences
If Image Capture doesn’t open when you connect a camera
If Image Capture doesn’t open automatically when you connect a camera to your computer, you need to change your preference settings.
To open Image Capture automatically when you connect a camera:
Connect your camera to your computer, and turn the camera on.
Select the camera in the Devices list at the left of the Image Capture window.
From the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu, choose Image Capture.
If you don’t see that pop-up menu, click the “Show device settings” button in the lower-left corner.
I believe that this will allow you to set do nothing too

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.

I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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 to delete items from the list of "auto-open" tabs that load whenever FF4 opens?

When I recently downloaded FF4, I was asked if I'd like to have FF automatically open the same tabs as were set in my IE. Great! Worked perfectly until I set those tabs as App Tabs. Now both the App Tabs and the original IE set of tabs open whenever I open FF -- essentially each tab loads twice -- as app tab and large tab. How can I delete tabs from the list of "auto-open" tabs? In addition, for some reason, every time I try to set my home page, it's not working -- I keep getting the same home page regardless of how many times I have tried to set a new one.

You can close a tab with a middle-click or with a left click on the close X on the tab or via the right-click context menu of that tab.<br />
Do those tabs come back if you close then and lose Firefox?

I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF file to my iPad, via a Hotmail email. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad in Mail already opended, as a picture on the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent it from auto open, so I can open with iBooks instead?

I have an iPad 2, and I am sending PDF files to my iPad, via a Hotmail account. But, the PDF arrives to the iPad Mail account already opened at the bottom of the email. Is there a way to prevent this auto-opening of the PDF. I've seen screen shots with the box, and PDF listed inside the box, but mine open automatically. I want to get them into iBooks...?

I am having the same problem and it is even bigger.
When opening a 1-page PDF in iBooks and sending it via mail it is sent inline as preview, but the recipient cannot open the file anymore. Also on iPad and iPhone there is no "open in" possible.
Somehow the mail app does destroy the file. What is going wrong?

Updated my computer to OSX Yosimite 10.10.2, and now my IPhoto wont open

Updated my computer to OSX Yosimite 10.10.2, and now my IPhoto wont open. It said I needed to update to the newest version of IPhoto through the APP store, so I tried, but it has been stuck on 'INSTALLING' for hours. All of my mothers wedding photos, as well as the photos I need for school are in there! HELP!

Until you Upgrade to iphoto 9.6 you will not be able to use iPhoto
You can try canceling the upgrade and re-starting it

Iphoto ver 8.1.2 unable to open iphoto. can hold down mouse button and 1 page of iphoto will open. click anywhere on screen and iphoto closes

Cannot open iPhoto. It's on the toolbar, but will not open. I can hold the mouse over the icon and hold the mouse button down and iPhoto will open to a thumbnail photo, but if I click anywhere on the page, iPhoto closes. iPhoto shows open on top of page, but practically all selectable items are gray.

It sounds like the window might have slipped down below the Dock or similar. Try change your screen resolution and (SystemPreferneces -> Displays) and that should force it back into reach. The return the resolution to whatever it was.

Hi There,
I have a question, when I connect my iPhone to the computer the iPhoto automatically opens.
how can i prevent this from happening? it always slows down my computer.

Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) - In the preferences you can decide to 'Do Nothing' when a camera is connected.
Some versions also have this option in the iPhoto Preferences.
