Iphoto Starts automatically

How do I turn this option off. I don't want Iphoto to load up when I start my computer. I end up having to turn it off. Is there something in preferences that will help me get rid of this? It also seems to be happening to my Microtek scanner driver. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. Check the iphoto icon in the Dock. Is the 'Open at Login' option checked?
2. Check SystemPreferences -> Accounts -> Log In items. Is iPhoto on the list?
3. Have you a Windows formatted USB hard drive or flash drive attached to the Mac. If so, use the Preferences to Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) to decide what to do when a camera is connected. Set it to Do Nothing.
1 & 2 may also help with your Scanner.

IPhoto starts automatically with computer startup

I recently installed a new hard drive in my MacBook Pro. After the install, now every time I start the computer, iPhoto starts automatically. Is there a setting that I can change to stop this. It's not a big problem, just a little annoying.

try right clicking on the iPhoto icon in the dock and making sure that the option to "Open at login" is not set

IPhoto starts automatically when i start my computer!

iPhoto starts automatically when i start my computer, how do i turn this off?! I have a lot of photos on the program so it takes a while to load and bogs down my startup.

Right-click on the iPhoto icon in the dock, and deselect "Open at Login".
Also a handy trick if there ARE programs you want started when you login

Starting iPhoto slideshow automatically on boot

Hi all,
I have a Mac mini that will be used in conjunction with a point of sale display screen and I need to start an iPhoto slideshow automatically. I have iPhoto starting automatically currently but I need a slideshow to start without any user interaction (there won't be a keyboard or mouse connected when it goes live).
Thanks,
Dave

dahvyd - thanks for that it works!
I'm trying to make it so it plays a slideshow which I've made so I've done this:
tell application "iPhoto"
activate
set mySlideshow to "test1"
select mySlideshow
select slide 1 of mySlideshow
start slideshow
end tell
But when I try to run it says "expected end of line, etc. but found number" and highlights 1
Any ideas? It puts a title before the first slide. So I tried changing 1 to a 0 and 2 but still no joy
If I delete that line it says:
error "The variable mySlideshow is not defined." number -2753 from "my slideshow"

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?

IPhoto (7.1.5) doesn't start automatically Quicktime player 10.0 with .mov

Hi
I'm running iPhoto 7.1.5, I'm using OS 10.6.2 and Quicktime 10.0
I don't know why all .mov sequences under my iPhoto library don't start automatically anymore.
I have to locate the original file into finder and double click the .mov file into its folder.
Does someone can help me
Thanks.

I'm running iPhoto 7.1.5, I'm using OS 10.6.2
It's possible Snow Leopard is not compatible with all the settings in the older versions of iPhoto.
I don't know why all .mov sequences under my iPhoto library don't start automatically anymore.
Did it work prior to updating to Snow Leopard?

Stop iPhoto starting up!

This is probably a fairly simple thing to do, but for some reason I can't get my head around it...
Is there a way to connect my iPhone to my mac without iPhoto starting up automatically? I do want iTunes to start, as this is set up to sync calendars, music, contacts, apps etc automatically, but I specifically set up photos not to sync at all, so don't need iPhoto to start!
It gets annoying when you have already imported photos from the iPhone into iPhoto, but because the photos are still on the phone it thinks you always want to import... help me!
Thanks

In iPhoto > iPhoto menu > Preferences > General tab, set the 'Connecting camera opens:' pop-up to No Application. (Note: if you're using a version of iPhoto +prior to+ iLife '08, this setting is in Applications > Image Capture's preferences, instead of iPhoto.)
Note that this will apply to all cameras/memory cards - there's no way to make it specific to the iPhone.
Also note that if your Camera Roll is empty, iPhoto will not open. You can transfer any pics to iPhoto, delete from the phone at the end of the transfer, then re-sync them to the phone so they're in the iPhone's photo library not the Camera Roll. That's safer for the photos, and means that unless you've taken new pics, iPhoto won't open.

Itunes will not start automatically when iphone plugged in

itunes will not start automatically when iphone is plugged in. it used to. now it turns on iphoto but not itunes. the option to check "open itunes when this iphone is connected" is ghosted and cannot be selected.
i have ios 5 now, but it also did this with the previous os.

Hi billm1013,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If your iPhone isn't being recognized in iTunes, and/or iTunes isn't responding to your mouse when the iPhone is connected, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support

IPhoto opens automatically when iPhone is connected

iPhoto for Mac (Yosemite) opens automatically when iPhone (iOS 8) is connected. I have "no application" chosen in iPhoto preferences and Image Capture has no preference options in the menu. I can find nothing in System Preferences OS X 10 or in Setting iOS 8. Where do I turn off the automatic iPhoto start?

This is most likely because it is asking you to choose photos to sync to your computer. I don't know how to get rid of it though. Hope you find the answer!

Since updating to 10.9.2 iTunes starts automatically when watching movies via Safari, that annoys

Hi
since the most recent update, iTunes starts automatically. I can quit iTunes at least 10 times since it finally stops to launch.
Any idea, why?
thanks in advance

Thanks for your helpful hint, but unfortunatly it did not solve the problem. I know, its rather difficult to explain:
I use the same order on MacBook Pro & Mac Mini (sorted by name in descending order). Both display the photos in iphoto correct as follows:
"20111009 London
20111008 Festival
20110924 Marriage
20110820 Summer
20110617 Italy
20110524 Spring
...etc...
20030101 Wintertrip"
But on apple tv 2 - only when using the Mac Mini as the source - the order is wrong like this (on apple tv 2):
"20110924 Marriage
20110820 Summer
20110617 Italy
20110524 Spring
...etc...
20030101 Wintertrip
20111008 Festival
20111009 London"
Using my MacBook Pro as source for the apple tv 2: everything is fine, the sort order on my apple tv 2 is correct. I imported "20111008 Festival" and "20111009 London" both after the update to iOS5, when I returned from London. I updated my Mac Mini, MacBook Pro and my apple tv 2 (ios5, iphoto 9.2 and iTunes 10.5).
I did another test and changed the sort order on the Mac Mini to be sorted by date and in ascending order. This had no effect to the way the photos are displayed on apple tv 2. The photos are still displayed wrong as described above ("20111008 Festival" and "20111009 London" are put to the very end). It seems, as if apple tv 2 does simple ignore the sort order given by Mac Mini. On apple tv 2 I have to scroll down to the very end to watch my Festival photos and my London photos.
I have two apple tv 2 and the problem is just the same. This is why I thought it might be a problem of my Mac Minis iphoto library or the way it is transmitted via iTunes.

IPhoto Starts when connecting iPad; not iTunes

Hi Folks,
I've checked the settings in iTunes under "Summary/Options" in iTunes and the option is checked to start iTunes when the iPad is connected.
However, when ever I connect my iPad to my iMac, iPhoto starts automagically instead.... I have manually start iTunes and even then it takes several seconds for iTunes to recognise that I've connected the iPad.
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
Richard

iPhoto opening automatically was annoying me, too, but I found a solution in this iPad discussion group. I don't know how to insert a link, but here is the address, the answer being the last posting.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12600577&#12600577
The solution has something to do with "ImageCapture", so you could search in this discussion group for that if the address above doesn't work. Or, search "iPhoto", and the answer is in a posting from November 17, 2010.

"Reporting services" service does not start automatically

I have installed reporting services from SQL Express SP1 package. OS is Windows 2000 SP4. Just after installation "Reporting services" service has StartMode=Automatic and LogOnAS=LocalSystem as shown in SQL Server Configuration Manager. When system is rebooted reporting services state is Stopped and there is 2 errors in System log:
1. Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the SQL Server Reporting Services (REPS) service to connect.
2. The SQL Server Reporting Services (REPS) service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
If i select "start" from service's context menu then it starting normally and it's state becomes Running.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

You can't. iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
But not from a Mac. If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use it with Time Machine.
