Iphoto automatically opens when I connect my ITouch to my MAC

When I connect my Ipod Touch to my MAC, it opens IPhoto as well.

It does that when there are photos in the Saved Photos on your iPod. Import them into iTunes and delete them from your Saved Photos. If you want them on your iPod, you can sync them back to your iPod's photo album.
You can also go to iPhoto > Preferences > General and change the "Connecting Camera Opens:" preference to read "Nothing", but then you would have to open iPhoto manually when you want to import photos from your iPod or any cameras.

  • How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

    Hi, well as the title states:
    How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
    It's getting on my nerves...
    Thanks.

    This might also be helpful:
    I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
    Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.

    set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
    set answer to button returned of question
    if answer is equal to "Yes" then
              tell application "iPhoto" to activate
    end if

  • Why won't iTunes automatically open when I connect my iPhone 6

    iTunes is set to open when I connect my phone but will not do so. I have to physically go to the program and open it each time I connect my phone. This also happens when I connect my iPad mini. This began when I upgraded to the iPhone 6. Before upgrading I did not have this problem.

    Hey there Ray_J,
    I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
    Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
    If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • 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.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Stop Itunes from automatically opening when IPhone connected to computer

    Using IPhone 3G with Windows XP Pro (both with latest updates)
    When I connect IPhone 3g to the usb cable to computer, ITunes always automatically opens. This is a waste, if I am only charging the IPhone. Is there a way to make ITunes not open automatically when IPhone is connected
    Thanks
    Bob

    Hi Guys..
    Had the same problem..
    And now its got solved!! :-D
    Leaving both "iTunes > Preferences > Syncing > Disable automatic syncing for all.." AND "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" on the summary page, UNCHECKED, solved the issue for me.
    Do give it a try..
    Cheers!
    Bye.

  • Turn off iPhoto automatically opening when iPod syncs

    When I plug in my iPod Touch, iTunes automatically opens, as does iPhoto if I have saved photos on my iPod.  I don't want iPhoto to open up as sometimes I'm in the middle of other work.  Is there a way to turn off iPhoto from automatically opening whenever I plug my iPod Touch in to sync?

  • Adobe Bridge CS4 & Downloader automatically open when I connect iTouch

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to stop this? It's very annoying. I never want Adobe Bridge CS4 opening on my iTouch.
    Thanks

    This is happening because you have captured a screen grab on your iPod Touch. If you hold the top sleep button and the home button at the same time, it takes a screengrab of your screen.
    When you plug the iPod Touch into your computer, the 'new' images get seen, and you are prompted to import them via whatever preferences you've set for any digital cameras you have.
    As well as changing your preferences, you could delete the images from the iPod Touch if you don't want them.

  • Stop iPhoto from opening when iPhone connected

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new iPhone and a new MacBook, however, I am having a bit of trouble. Whenever I connect the iPhone to the MacBook, iPhoto opens and wants to transfer my download the photos from my iPhone. It gets annoying as I have to wait for iPhoto to completely open and then quit it evertime i connect the phone.
    Is there a way I can prevent this, ie not have my MacBook treat my iPhone as a camera?
    Thanks.

    Oh alright,
    Follow these steps:
    Plug in your iPhone.
    Launch Image Capture from our Applications folder
    Select your iPhone once it shows up under devices
    Look at the lower bottom pane where you'll see "Connecting this iPhone opens"
    Set this preference to "No application"
    Let me know if you run into any problems performing these steps.

  • How do I prevent Photos.app from automatically opening when I connect a camera

    I don't use Photos, except for a very small exception. I use Lightroom. I don't want Photos.app to open every time I plug in a device like my iphone or camera.
    In iPhoto, it was easy to opt out of this feature. I can find no such option with Photos.app.
    any solutions?

    Go to the System/Keyboard/Keyboard preference pane and check the checkbox circled below:
    Now go to this menu
    select Show Keyboard Viewer to get this:
    As you press the special keys you'll see what character the various keys will produce like this for the Option/Alt key

  • How Can I Set an Application on a USB Drive to Automatically Open When the Drive is Inserted Into a Mac?

    The title pretty much says it all. But if you don't understand, here is an example of what I want to happen:
    When a USB drive is inserted onto my Mac, an application on it will open.
    How can I make this happen?

    I haven't tried it, but perhaps a Watched folder on the external drive & an Applescript?

    Or perhaps just an Applescript to check for exist :USB Drive Name, then run application?

  • 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.

  • How can i prevent iphoto from opening when i plug in my iphone to the computer?

    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.
    any help will be appreciated.
    thanks

    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.

  • IPhoto Automatically Opens

    Every time I log on, IPhoto automatically opens, taking a lot of time. I have checked Preferences under IPhoto and General and can't find out why this is happening. Is there another place to look?

    Launch "Image Capture" application. Image Capture can be found in your computer's Applications folder.
    Go to the 'Devices' pulldown menu and select the device that is there (iPhone or any other device can be connected and listed there). Now, go to the Image Capture pulldown menu and select Preferences. In the General tab, change "When a XXX is connected, open" to "No application" (instead of iPhoto). Click OK, then quit Image Capture.
    I had the same behavior with my iPhone and solve it that way.

  • ITunes not opening when device connected

    About a week ago, iTunes stopped opening when I connected my iPhone.  If I then open iTunes manually, the device will be recognized and will sync.  I checked in the system preferences and my Login Items had iTuneshelper checked, but the icon was a blank piece of paper and on the righ margin there was a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it.
    I don't necessarily want iTunes to open when I connect my iPhone, but I would like to be in control of if it does or doesn't.
    How do I set this straight?

    Select the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window.
    Select the Summmary tab from the menu.
    Select or deselect:  Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
    And from the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Devices tab.
    You can select to have the iPhone sync automatically (or not) there.
    Or, right or control click the iPhone under Devices then make a selection.

  • ITunes does not open when ipod connected

    Since installing the 1.1 update, iTunes does not open when I connect my nano to the computer. Both computer and iTunes (when I manually open it) recognize the nano, so no big deal. Just wondering how to make iTunes automatically open.

    Sometimes the Preferences get corrupt - if you set them off and then back on that sometimes clears the problem.
