Iphoto autostarts when I insert a memory card

Ok, Everytime I put a memory card into my card reader iphoto autostarts. I just use the finder to drag the images off the card.
I already tried finding some application called "image capture" but I don't have it.
Please help
Candice

Hi Candice,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You're on the right track. You need to use image capture to set your preferences to load images to your desktop.
I assume your image capture app is not in your application folder?
You can try spotlight at the top right of your screen to locate image capture. It should show the app under "top hits".
If the app is still not found,type back and let us know more about your system,any modifications,etc.
Best wishes,
Scott

When I insert my memory card iPhoto opens. How can I make the default program Preview?

When I insert my memory card from my camera, iPhoto opens. How can I make Preview the default?

Denny,
Open Image Capture which is located in your Applications Folder.
Connect your device to your computer, then turn the device on.If the device is locked with a passcode, enter it.
Select the device in the Devices list.
Choose Image Capture from the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu.Click “Show device settings” if you don’t see that pop-up menu.

How do I get Lightroom to do nothing when I insert a memory card?

I have changed the preferences under File Management to Do Nothing when memory card is detected, but still every time I put a memory card in it opens the program. Honestly if I can't get it to stop, I'm going to uninstall it and use Aperture.
Second Question, How do you get the program to never ask me to back up library when I open Lightroom.

Why does everyone and their brother levy this 'threat' when they don't
understand how to use the app??

When I insert my memory card iPhoto uploads every photo in DUPLICATE--how do I stop this from happening?

How can i make iPhoto import only ONE copy of each photo?

How can i make iPhoto import only ONE copy of each photo?
Select the one you want imported and use the import selected button
Otherwise stop shooting two copies - HDR, RAW + JPEG, etc
iPhoto only reads what is there - you control what is there to read - and iPhoto onky imports the photos you tell it to import - you either import all or import selected

Autoimport when inserting a memory card

Hi,
When inserting a memory card in the reader, the dialog that popped up used to give me the option to import using LR. But this option is gone now after updating from 2.4 to 2.5. In the LR preferences, the setting that enables automatic import when a card is inserted is turned on.
What's wrong? How to get the automatic import back?
Windows XP.

The bug that caused LR to start importing every time a card was attached to the machine in LR 2.4 has now been fixed so this annoying behaviour has gone away.
If you want it back, then ensure that the "show import dialogue when memory card is detected" in the Import dialog of the Preference is selected and also ensure that the Windows OS setting for auto play for data cards is set to LR.

Same thing is happening to me but I am using a card reader. Can't get any explanation besides checking the preferences. I can import by downloading to desktop then importing to iphoto but never had to do that before.

When I insert an SD card into the iMac nothing happens. It worked fine until today, I double clicked on the card icon on the desk top and it disappeared! Any suggestions?

When I insert an SD card into the iMac nothing happens. It worked until today, when I double clicked on the SD card icon on the desktop and then it disappeared! Cannot find in "Finder". iPhoto does not open upon inserting card. Reformatted card with device (camera). Used Time machine to restart computer before the double click occurence...did not lhelp. Any suggestions?

Have a look in Finder Preferences: Click on the desktop, Finder>Finder Preferences.General tab - is there a tick in "External Disks'? If not, tick it.

When i insert the photo card nothing happens - i want to edit the photos on it

When I insert the photo card nothing happens - i want to edit the photos on the card

You need to import the photos into iPhoto before you can edit them. In iPhoto select File->import to library and navigate to your images. Press choose and they will be imported into iPhoto where you can edit them. The next step is getting iPhoto to automatically open when you insert a card.

How can I change the actions taken when I insert an SD card to my iMac?

When I insert an SD card in my iMac it copies all the photos in a directory and deletes them from SD card.
How can I change that? I just want to view my pics and then be asked if copied or not.
Thanks in advance.

You have the option in iPhoto to delete or keep the photos on the SD card or Camera when the photos are finished importing into iPhoto.
To change what happens when you plug in an SD card or Camera you will need to open Image Capture in your Applications Folder.
In Image Capture:
1 select and highlight the SD card in the list of Devices
2 click on the pointers in blue at the bottom for Connecting this camera/card/device
3 change the action for to any one of the other options there, No Application (if for example you want to open it with Finder) or to Preview (if for example you want Preview to open) the SD card.

PLease insert a memory card message

When I left my last job they let me keep a C7280 Photosmart Printer which I'd been using at home. I've been happily using it without problems for six months but for the last week a message comes up whenever I switch on "please insert a memory card" and nothing prints. I had occasionally had this message before but logging off the computer and switching on again made it go away. Now it seems to be permanent. I haven't got a memory card and don't even know what it does. Can anyone help?

I recently got a iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download my photos from the memory card for my camera, a Sony Cybershot. When I put my memory card in the adapter and plug it in to the iPad nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I recently purchased an iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download pictures from my camera to my iPad. When I put my memory card into the adapter and plug it in to my iPad nothing happens. My camera is a Sony Cybershot and the memory card is a Sony memory stick PRO duo 512 mb. I don't think I am doing anything incorrect. Is my camera/memory card incompatible with this adapter?

The Camera Connection Kit works with SD cards, not Memory Sticks.
Maybe you can find an MS to SD adapter, or use the USB connection with the USB cable that came with the camera.

Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro? I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame? The manual should say.
