Photoshop 7 automatically launches

I recently installed a wireless Verizon modem. Since then, Photoshop 7 automatically launches when I connect to the internet I cannot find anything in Edit to stop it from launching. How can I disable this?

Ed - I have a scanner as well, though the problem is not intermittent.
John - Sorry for not being more specific. I use VZ Access Manager, to connect. I am not using IE or on a website, only connected via my wireless modem to Verizon. It is at this point that PS launches. I have XP professional, and have installed service paks. My scanner is HP 64010. I am not sure what other information you would need, however I very much appreciate everyone's help.

IPhone automatically launches Photoshop and Microsoft Photo

My iPhone automatically launches Photoshop and Microsoft Photo since the computer sees it as a camera. How do I prevent these automated launches.

I recommend turning off the auto launch all together. Every time I used to dock Windows xp wanted to to open the phone with Microsoft Scanning and so on.

Automatic launch while downloading camera photos

I recently upgraded to the 3.0 Starter Edition, but I don't like the way it automatically launches when I connect my camera to the computer. I prefer using the software that came with my camera for uploading the images from the camera to the PC, but I don't see an option to to deselect the auto-launch of the Adobe program.
Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks,
Lisa

I am having the same problem, and Edit > Preferences > Files, the setting "Use Photoshop Album Starter Edition to view JPEG image files" was not set for default use. I tried setting it, saving the setting, and then unsetting it again, and it still automatically launches when I connect my camera to the computer.
Do you have to hack the registry or something equally tedious to fix this annoyance?

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.

How do I get my iPhone 5 to stop automatically launching Music when plugged into my car USB port?

For quite some time, my iPhone has been set to automatically launch Music -- on the first song listed alphabetically -- as soon as I plug it into my car's USB port, which I use both for connectivity and for charging. It's enough to have made me hate a song I used to love: if I hear the opening riff of "The A Team" one more time I think I'll throw the phone out the window!! LOL Seriously: I've seen fixes for this in other posts, which apparently referred to older versions of iTunes, and required the "Stop AutoPlay" function to be initiated OUTSIDE the device, in iTunes on the synchronizing computer. That makes no sense to me. I've searched but cannot find a current fix. Am I eternally doomed to suffer this annoyance? Thanks!

Disable any security software on the computer and try again.

IPhone 4 no longer automatically launches iTunes

My iPhone 4 no longer automatically launches iTunes. In iTunes, the box is checked that says "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected." I've checked and unchecked that box, restarted the computer, etc., but nothing I've done has fixed the problem. I've seen the solutions for the same problem in Windows, but not for a Mac. How can I fix this?

Hi,
I have the same problem and found the same solution (i.e. unchecking then "open iTunes when iPhone is connected", then rechecking it, re-installing iTunes Helper).
The only problem is that this keeps happening over and over, and while I can certainly manage opening iTunes manually whenever I connect my phone, it bothers me that something is not working and I cannot figure out how to fix it.
I noticed that when iTunes does not open automatically, you will see that iTunes Helper is not available in the System Preferences -> Users -> Login Items. The funny thing is that I am not even able to find it on my computer at all - until I re-install it through iTunes that is...
Does anybody have an answer for this?
Thanks,
Jan

When I try and download photos from my camera, the system automatically launches Photo Viewer in Win 8.1. This causes my Adobe Bridge to lock up.

I recently bought a new computer with Win 8.1 installed. When I installed CS6 64 bit, the installation went seamlessly. My problem is that when I try and download images from my camera, it automatically launches the Windows Photo software to download the photos. I would like to use the Bridge to do this for several reasons. If I turn off the Windows Photo program, it takes me back to Bridge but when I click on Download Photos, it causes Bridge to lock up.
If I click on download photos before I turn on my camera, it does not find the camera (as expected) but then I turn on the camera and reset list and Bridge finds the camera and I can download the photos. Then if I try and download additional photos, Bridge locks up and I need to turn off the software and reboot the computer in order to get anything to download.
I have gone to the System Settings and changed the AutoPlay settings to automatically select Bridge when I download Pictures...I also selected Bridge for the Memory Card. Under Devices, my camera is listed and that is set to "Import Photos and Videos"
Any suggestions?

See my response to your other post.

Does holding Shift key at bootup to boot in Safe mode do the same thing?

Photoshop won't launch

For some reason Photoshop will not launch.
This is on a G4 dual 867 Mac 1.75 GB RAM Mac OSX 10.4.11
I had CS3 working fine for a long time and things were fine....
but it has recently stopped launching. When it stopped launching I deleted and uninstalled all Adobe products and tried re-installing Photoshop 7.0 that didn't work either. Still won't launch. Repaired permissions and restarted multiple times.
Ran Disk Warrior just for grins... still won't launch.
Deleted all preference files... still won't launch.
tried re-installing again... still won't launch.
Tried launching from a different user account just to see if the user account may be corrupt but it still didn't launch.
Adobe Image ready will run after installing off of the 7.0 disk but photoshop will not.
any ideas?

Here is the crash report... if it helps.

Link Won't Automatically Launch Email Client

We use an intranet application database for CRM (ColdFusion) via Safari (5.0.3). Our accounts include email addresses which, when selected, previously opened a New Message in the email client of user's choice (whether Mail or Entourage, etc.)
Some employees using iPads and iPhones were noting that Mail was not automatically launching when they selected an email address (appears as a hyperlink in the database). I began to investigate, and the links are not working (automatically launching a New Mail Message in the email client) on one of our MacMinis (10.4.11) either. The links to a New Messsage are working on some of our Macs (some 10.4.11, some 10.6.6), but not all.
In my playing around with settings, somehow I have made the links not work on my MacBook Pro (10.6.6)!
Here is the copied link (with inserts for security):
https://www.[site].com/secure/customer/log_email.cfm?id=481&mailto=[name]@[domain].org
Again, this WAS working fine in Safari on my MacBook Pro, but it is not now. I should point out that the email links ARE working in Chrome BUT NOT FireFox or Safari.
I have changed my default email client in Mail, back and forth, to see if this would make a difference, but it has not.
The CRM provider has said they haven't changed anything on their end (and again, it is working for many of our Macs).
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Hi,
On the iPads and iPhones. Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset All Settings. Then restart the devices.
On the Mac for Safari. Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. See if made a difference. If not, try emptying the Safari cache from the Safari menu, Safari / Empty Cache or Command + Option + E.
Since you have changed the default Mail client several times, you may need to delete the com.apple.mail.plist file also from the user account: ~/Library/Preferences
Make sure to make note of all your Mail preferences first before delete that.plist file.

App. automatically launches, but not listed in accounts/startup items

I have a pesky application which automatically launches on start-up, yet it's not listed in accounts/startup items. It's called Microtek scanner finder. I seem to remember it started doing it when I originally got the scanner and installed software, and although it's always niggled I didn't mind when I was using the scanner. However, I'm not using the scanner anymore so want to be rid of it in my dock. Where the heck is it coming from? I don't want to chuck all the software as there may be an occasion where I need to scan a transparency, when I'll need to get the old scanner down from the loft... any ideas? It definitely launches as there is a little black triangle beneath the icon in the dock. If I quit it, it disappears but is back there again on another start-up grrrrr.

Hi, Kathykate. I have a similar Epson Scanner Monitor application that starts up each time I restart my computer. (Mine does appear in Sys Prefs > Accounts > my account > Startup Items, so I could delete it from there if I wanted to.) It runs all the time in the background, using a tiny amount of CPU and memory, and it has no user interface at all: If I quit it, nothing visibly changes, and if I open it again, there's no visible sign that it's open (including no icon in the dock for it). Its only function is to detect my Epson Scanner when I plug it in and turn it on. I ignore it the rest of the time, because whether it's running or not has no impact whatsoever on anything I do. I suggest that you take the same attitude toward your Microtek app.

System Preferences is automatically launching

My system preferences application is automatically launching. I don't see any consistent circumstances preceding the launces, but it happens a couple dozen times a day at least. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi MacHappiest,
The simplest approach to try first would be to go to /Users/~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist and drag it to the desktop. You may have to re-set some of your system preferences.

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.

TS1717 I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC.

I cannot get iTunes to automatically launch at startup in Windows 7. I need it to do this so my Apple TV 'finds' my Music Library, which is stored on an external hard-drive, connected to my Windows 7 PC. Anyone know how I do this? I cannot seem to find anything on Google, which is surprising.
iTunes helper launches OK, but not iTunes itself. Am I being dim?
Thanks

The iTunes application should be installed on the system drive. You may need to repair iTunes to fix that error regarding a missing .exe.
To organize your library properly see Make a split library portable.
If you don't have a working version of the library that can be transformed into a portable shape I have tools and techniques that can repair the broken links.
