Weird - my iPod Touch launches iPhoto

This is weird. Around the time I upgraded my computer to Mac OS 10.5.5, my iPod Touch starts doing this fun little thing. Every time I connect my iPod Touch to my computer it opens iPhoto.
Now it gets more weird. My wife has the same iPod. When I connect her iPod, the computer reacts as it is suppose to.
Does anyone have a clue as to why my iPod launches iPhoto?
Thanks
jon

Hey John,
Do you have a camera roll on the iPod? Tap photos> if a photo album is displayed tap Photo Albums.
If you have iLife 08 you can goto iPhoto preferences and choose to not launch iPhoto when a camera is connected. If you have an earlier version of iLife, you'll have to make the change in the Image Capture Preferences.

IPod Touch launches iPhoto!?!?!?!

Hey gang-
For some reason- and this only started recently- when I connect my iPod Touch to my Mac, iPhoto launches. Yes- I said iPhoto, not iTunes.
When iPhoto launches, it does to Devices and shows my iPod Touch and one image entitled IMG_0001.PNG.
I certainly don't want or need iPhoto to launch when I plug in my iPod Touch. Anyone else seeing this?
I'm running iPhoto '09 8.0.1 and OS X 10.5.6.
Thanks!
Dave

Delete that photo from it, or open the General tab of the iPhoto preferences and set it not to open when a camera is connected.

How do I disable iphoto from automatically launching when I plug in my iPhone?

Trying to figure out how to disable iphoto from automatically launching on my Macbook Pro every time I plug in my iphone via USB cable. Tried looking at preferences in iphoto and itunes, but can't seem to find anything. Thanks!

It is your preference in iphoto.
Set it not to open when a digital camera is connected.

How can I disable iPhoto automatic launch?

Hi,
I do not use iPhoto to import my digital images. How can I disable the automatic launch when I plug my camera or card reader?
Thanks!

Hi Paul,
To do this just open Image Capture, open its preferences and then under the general tab you can select the option of "When a camera is connected, open:"
Just select no application and that should do it.

I have multiple iPhoto libraries and when I selecting which library to view (hold down 'option' key and launch iPhoto from the dock) it automatically closes another open apps window eg. Chome, Word. 1 app closes every time I launch iPhoto this way.

If you're pushing Option at the exact moment you're clicking the Dock icon, it's supposed to do that. Wait until just after clicking it.

IPhoto automatically launches when I restart

IPhoto 5.0.4 seems to automatically launch everytime I restart. There isn't anything in /Library/StartupItems/ for this to occur, nor is there anything in the iPhoto preferences. Has this happened to anyone else? I don't know how to make it quit doing that.

Thanks Peter!
That was the problem. Is that a new "feature" in Tiger? Also, I wonder why iPhoto got put in there in the first place.

How to stop iPhoto from automatically launching?

I'm not sure if this is specific to any version of iPhoto or not.
But anyway, when I insert a compact flash card into a USB card reader attached to an iMac, iPhoto automatically launches. How do I turn this functionality off?
Thanks

See the drop down menu at the bottom of the General preference pane:

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Image Capture and iPhoto automatically launch...

Hi:
I am using OS X Yosemite. Whenever I connect a camera to my computer, iPhoto automatically launches. Since I don't use iPhoto, I have to close it before I can download my photos to Adobe Lightroom. in iPhoto—> Preferences—> General I have it set to "Connecting Camera opens: No application" But iPhoto launches anyway. How can I make it stop?
Whenever I connect an iOS device to my computer, the app Image Capture launches. I don't need this to happen either. How can I make it stop?
Thanks!
Janet

Open image caputre. Plug in the device. Select the device in the list. Open the icon at the bottom of the window and set the device to open no application or choose the application you want it to open.
Repeat for all devices you plug in to that computer.

Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto, Its quicktime X, and it works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

Well since I do not have iPhoto 7 I can only guess what may be: As far I can remember up to iPhoto 8, iPhoto insisted on Quick Time Player 7. As I can see you have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) and there Quick Time X is the standard playaer. Basically Quick Time 7 is not part of Snow Leopard.
Can you please check if Quick Time 7 is installed under Applications->Utilitis (in 10.6 Quick Time 7 if presenet is installed not under Applications - there Quick Time X is - but under Application/Utilities).
If not: insert your Snow Leopard installation DVD.
Once the installer opens, double-click on the Optional Installs folder
Double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg package
Click continue.
Select the option for QuickTime 7 then click Continue to start the installation.
If it is there you may try to move the iPhoto prefernce file to another folder and let iPhoto create a new one.
Please keep the old file until you are sure that iPhoto works how it should.
The iPhoto preference file can be found under your home folder then Library then Preferences and there
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
As alraedy mentioned do not delet this file, since if something goes wrong you can put it back.

Plugged in iPod Touch now launches iPhoto?

This is a recent thing (about the same time as the iPod started - stopping when ever it wants).
It show's up in iTunes, but doesn't launch iTunes, it launches iPhoto?

How do I stop iTunes (10.7) from automatically launching upon restart? "Open at Login" is NOT checked in the dock and I have removed the app from Login Items under Users/Groups. I am using a MacBook version 10.7.5. Thank you!

Thanks for the response gakker, but I've double-checked the camera / iPhoto / Image Capture scenario, and I'm 100% positive it's got nothing to do with that.
Plugging in my iPhone has no effect on anything related to this.
The other thing I should have mentioned is that when iTunes on my Mac is NOT running, then nothing happens on my iPhone screen when I plug it in to my Mac. I only get the "Sync in progress" message when iTunes IS running.
It's interesting though that you say you also get this "Sync in progress" message, albeit only for a second or two though.
Can I just double-check something with you however... When you say:
+"at no time was my iTunes playback interrupted"+
do you mean the iTunes on your Mac? Because the problem I have is that the iPod-playback on my iPhone is interrupted.
So can you clarify that for me, please? If you have music playing on your iPhone, and you then plug your iPhone into your Mac when iTunes is running on your Mac, does the music playback on the iPhone get interrupted?

When my bluetooth device disconnects, automatically launches iTunes. Why?

I've seen some other posts on this, but none that solve the question. iTunes (11.1.5 (5)) automatically launches evertime I disconnect my bluetooth speaker or the speaker times out and shuts off. In iTune device preferences, I checked the box "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". iTunes is NOT paired with any Remotes.
I wondered if Spotify might be the source of the problem, but when I closed Spotify and ran the test (disconnect my bluetooth speaker), iTunes automatically launched.
Any help?

Same issue. In former Version of OSX itunes autolaunch could be disabled by setting "no action" when a CD is inserted (in case your mac still has a CD drive). But with 10.9. this does not help. For some reason Apple thinks as soon as something happening with audio it's the deepest desire of every Mac owner to start to use iTunes. What makes this totally weird is that iTunes is started when the speaker is DISconnected.
Haven't found any solution, and have to say it ***** big time. Please, apple, don't dictate your users which app s they "want" to use on what occasion... if there is an autolaunch mechanism there has to be an easy way to disable it, like iPhoto autolaunch when you connect a camera.
The constant launching of iTunes on every occasion I really do not want to use it is painful.

I launch iPhoto and it "Appears Corrupt"

For a while now every time I launch iPhoto I get a message that it appears corrupt and it checks the database before I use it.
All functions work great once it does its checking, but the next time I launch iPhoto I have to go through the same thing.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
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 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. .

Why won't iPod sync with iPhoto library on external drive?

I've run out of room for my iPhoto library on my Mini's 80 gig internal drive - especially now that the iPod cache takes up an extra 7 gig! So I've moved the iPhoto Library over to an external firewire drive - but now I'm getting the dreaded error -50. The iPod synced OK with the same iPhoto library when it was hosted locally, but now it's on an external drive it won't sync at all, even if I host the iPod Photo Cache on my internal drive and link back to it with an alias.
Is this a known problem, has anyone else had this and found a way around it? Fixing permissions, trashing preferences, etc won't work. The iPod will sync with folders on the external drive, just not with the iPhoto library.
I'm running the latest of everything (60 gig iPod Photo with firmware v1.2, Mini running 10.4.2, iPhoto 5.02, iTunes 4.9).

You have to rename your Photo Library (before deleting it, a precaution). Then launch iPhoto...it will ask you where your library is...tell it the external HD...then when everything's hunky dory, quit iPhoto, launch iTunes and try to sync with iPod.
after everything's working fine for a few times, delete gargantuan renamed Photo Library on internal drive.
I've always run iPhoto and its library from an external FireWire drive for a number of reasons.
