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.

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 and iPhoto

Every time I connect my first gen iPod Touch to the computer iPhoto launches. I want to stop this behavior and still have iPhoto launch when I attach my camera. Image capture thinks the Touch is a camera though it isn't and I can't find a way to fix this. What do I need to do?
George

Yes, whenever I attach my iPod Touch it fires up iPhoto for some reason.
If my iPod fired up iTunes instead I could turn this behaviour off in iTunes Preferences. However even after some time looking for it I can't find a similar facility in iPhoto.
Is there any way to stop iPhoto booting up when I plug my iPod in until I want it to?

How do I put a photo on to my iPod Touch from iPhoto

On my Mac Mini, running SL OSX 10.6.8, is iPhoto '09 v. 8.1.2. and iTunes v. 11.0.2. I've got an old iPod Touch 16GB running v. 2.2.1.
I want to move a photo from iPhoto onto my iPod Touch, which used to be simple. However, now when I open iTunes, the photo option is no longer there, so how do I move a photo on to my iPod now?
So I need to go back to an older version of iTunes?

When you plug in the iPod open up Iphoto on your Mac and then in the left hand column under devices you should see your iPod. Click on this then you will see all the photos on your iPod. Click on the photos you want to transfer and Voila there you go.
Besides,there are some articles about iPod Photo Transfer, which can help you transfer pictures from iPhone.

My computer will only recognize my ipod touch in iphoto, not in itunes

When I connect my ipod touch to my mac, my ipod is only recognized in iphoto....not in itunes. What can I do to solve this problem?

Try here. Do not omit the Additional Information paragraph since it applies to Snow Leopard.

IPod Touch launches Adobe Lightroom!

I've recently found that when I connect my iPod Touch (2.01) it launches Adobe Lightroom 2 rather than iTunes. Within iTunes the "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected" option is greyed out.
Any idea what's going on here? It's crazy!

Of course you're right. Thanks.
If I go to Image Capture it recognises the iPod as a camera and offers to download screen grabs. Lightroom 2 also seems to recognise that it's 'camera-like' but won't find the images on it. (I didn't mention that I've set Lightroom via Image Capture prefs as the default app to launch when a camera is detected.)
If I delete all screen grabs on the iPod then Lightroom doesn't launch on connection - but neither does iTunes and the option for auto-launch of iTunes remains greyed.
There have been several upgrades recently: iTunes to 7.7.1, Lightroom to v.2, iPod firmware to 2.0 and 2.0.1. I'm not sure which of these is responsible though I would assume it's iPod 2.0 since that's the upgrade that gave the iPod it's camera-like attributes. If so Apple needs to address this ... please.

Sync Problem with iPod Touch and Apple TV relating to iPhoto

I have recently recovered from a crash and has to restore everything from my time machine.
I have an iPod touch that syncs with my itunes and therefore with my iPhoto.
Same thing with my Apple TV syncing via itunes with my iPhoto.
After the restore. I have this message:" itunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
Previously I got the same message when syncing iPod touch with iPhoto. Then I opened iPhoto package content and remove the iPod Photo cache. that solves my iPod touch sync problem.
How can I sync with Apple TV again?

I believe you need to reset the Sync services data. Assuming your data on the Mac is correct (or correctable), try this:
1. If it is easy enough to do, clean up iCal. There are AppleScripts and other tools on the Internet to do this.
2. Save a copy of you calendar. Just in case. (File, Back up iCal...)
3. Exit iCal.
4. Start iSync.
5. Preferences, Reset Sync History. (If it is greyed out, wait a few minutes.)
6. Quit iSync.
7. Start iTunes and plug in your iPod.
8. Select your iPod and go to the Info tab.
9. Make sure you have the correct Calendars selected. At the bottom, under Advanced, under Replace information on this iPod, select Calendars.
10. Sync.
That should do it.
Normally, the fiddling with iSync should clear things up, so you can try just that, and syncing, but since your have a messed up situation, I'd go through all these steps once.

IPhoto import from iPod Touch disappeared, any way to recover?

I imported photos from our 5 gen iPod Touch into iPhoto, and, as it was getting pretty full, selected the delete photos after import option. iPhoto crashed during the delete. We reopened it and there are no photos imported, but iPhoto did manage to delete about half of our iPod's photos before crashing. I would hope that iPhoto wouldn't be deleting photos off my iPod until it had actually imported the files...but they are no where to be found. Any ideas?
My OS is Mavericks, and we have iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2. I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, but it makes no difference.

Like I said I have my ipod set to sync manually and even with that setting it is still showing some "itunes purchased" albums on my ipod album list. They are not synced though because when you go to play them it shows them as not downloaded.

*PROVEN*Workaround with the IPOD Touch 3.1.3/ITunes 9/Windows XP 64 bit

For those of you who were frustrated by the fact that Apple doesn't offer support to users who are working on Windows XP 64 bit, don't fear because there IS a workaround.
Prerequisite:
Orca MSI Editor (http://www.technipages.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/orca.Msi)
ITunes 9
7-Zip (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/4.65/7z465-x64.msi/download)
Step 1: Download Itunes 9 from Apple
Step 2: Use 7-Zip to extract all the available .MSI files from the ITunes installer (right click the itunesetup file, EXTRACT ALL)
Step 3: Right click ITunes 64.msi > edit with Orca > navigate to the launch condition table > change "Version NT64>600" to Version NT64>501" > save the file.
Right click Bonjour64.msi and do the same, save and exit
Right click Applemobiledevicesupport64.msi and do the same to that file
Step 4: Install Itunes first, Bonjour 2nd then the AppleMobileDeviceSupport msi (there will be several prompts asking about Windows device driver signing, click continue anyway and proceed until the support drivers are ALL installed) file last.
Step 5: Connect your Ipod Touch, Launch ITunes and you should be good to go!

How to Stop iPhoto launch when iPod Touch is docked?

Each and every time I dock the iPod Touch (2nd Gen), iPhoto opens and asks if I want to import new photos. Every time!
But I already imported them and I want to keep them (screenshots made with iPod Touch image capture). So why does it keep asking?
How can I stop the automatic launch of iPhoto to ask this same question?
There are no settings in iTunes for the connected iPod Touch. There are no settings in iPhoto.
And I have reviewed past messages suggesting there is a setting in the Mac OSX app called "Image Capture" - "Down load to: Picture, Movies and Music folder" Automatic Task: set to None - but that does not work either.
What else can I do? It is VERY annoying!
Thanks & Aloha, AW

For some reason it does not work that way. You could always try turning off the ability to open iPhoto when a camera-like device is attached, using Grab.
Mind you, if they are imported into iPhoto and you sync images with the iPod touch, then you might as well delete from that folder otherwise they are duplicated on the touch.

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?

IPhoto no longer syncs with my iPod Touch

Hi, I used to connect my iPod Touch to my iMac and then launch iPhoto.
Photos and videos were then previewed in iPhoto and I had the option to import selected ones or all.
iPhoto has stopped doing this.
My Touch appears in 'Devices' but all options are greyed out.
I have both photos and videos on my Touch that I want to import.
Does anyone have any ideas? Do I need to reinstall iLife?
Many thanks, Brion

I have the same problem, was looking for an answer when I saw Brion's question. My version is 2.2.1 iPod touch. I eliminated everything on it to replace music etc.. but now can't get phots or slide shows loaded from iTunes. Just like Brion, except I use Aperture3.

Ipod touch is not recognized by iphoto

When I connect my ipod touch to my macbook, iphoto is launched as well as itunes. It used to be that iphoto imported the photos on my itouch but it doesn't do that anymore. In fact there is no "devices" item in the left column in iphoto. I think this changed when I upgraded to Lion. Does anyone know any way to get iphoto to recognize my itouch again? Music, podcast, & app synching seem to working fine via itunes.

Try here:
