Sandisk cruzer flash drive and iphoto

everytime i insert my sandisk usb flash drive, iphoto launches automatically ready to import photos, even when there's no photos to import. i usually just command-Q to quit iphoto, but it gets annoying to do it everytime, especially when all i want to do is edit my documents saved in my flash drive. is there a way to stop iphoto from starting everytime i insert my flash drive?

WuFong:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In the Image Capture preferences there's a drop down menu titled "When a camera is connected". Select No Application as shown here. that will let you connect the flash drive without iPhoto launching.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

Problems with Sandisk Cruzer flash drive

I've never used a flash drive before but I recently bought a 4GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive to use for temporary backups of photo images. When I first inserted it into the USB port of my Mac Mini PPC G4 it wouldn't show up in the finder. I called SanDisk and they told me to reformat the drive using Disk Utility's OS Mac Extended which I did. The drive then worked fine. Recently I dragged all the photos saved on the drive to the trash and attempted to save about a 100 new photos to it and I got an insufficient space error message. As there should have been plenty of room for these photos I was puzzled by this and wound up reformatting the drive again in hopes that it would solve the problem, which it did. Am I doing something wrong here, and if not, any idea what's forcing me to to reformat the drive every time I want to add new files to it?
Thanks,
Win

As simple as it sounds, one has to ask first...
When you dragged items from the flash drive to the Trash
or had highlighted them all, and used Move to Trash... Did
you Empty the Trash - and clear the items from the flash?
The usual issues are with unmounting the USB flash,
and when moving a lot of content, the time lag; so a
few knowns continue to be similar with most users.
Once in awhile, you may get a defective item, and if that
happens right away, some retail vendors will exchange
the one that does not work with another, or credit back
if bought on a card and you can choose to try elsewhere.
Reformatting the USB flash drive is often a last resort;
but that should've fixed the basic problem. If flash acts
up you can also use Get Info on the item to see if it says
there is a content being held there after you've thought
to trash the files associated with its use.
Good luck & happy computing!

Select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export them to a Folder on the desktop. Then drag that folder to the USB drive / or burn it to CD with the Finder's Burn command.

Flash drives and sleep issues

I'm not sure if this is a Tiger problem or a G4 issue, but I'll start here.
I plug 1Gb flash drives into an Adaptec FW+USB2 card in my Quicksilver running 10.4.11 and the computer will go to sleep fine. Read on.
With a SanDisk drive when I wake up the computer it gives me an error message about the drive not having been properly removed, but the computer does wake up and the drive icon is still present and the drive appears to be okay. Apart from having to click to remove the warning message nothing seems to be the problem. Okay, I can live with that.
I do the same thing with an Imation 1Gb flash drive and the computer will not wake up. I have to use the small reset button to reboot the computer.
Both drives are FAT16 format because I use them to regularly transfer files between the Quicksilver and a Windows machine. The only difference I notice between the drives is that when I use the Imation drive a file or folder or something named "EA" briefly appears in the Finder window where all the regular files are listed. There isn't any icon and there's nothing under date, size, or kind. If I click on the EA it disappears, but reappears each time I attach the drive.

Update and answer my own question.
I re-formatted the Imation drive as FAT16 (what is was already) using disk Utility and the strange file has disappeared. Must have been something to do with the factory formatting.
I also read that the only thing to do about Flash drives and post-sleep kernal panic is to make sure you disconnect the drive before sleep. Either that or get a card that will identify a flash drive as being attached and prevent sleep, or to disable sleep mode.

HT1751 I have my own ITunes on my laptop. How do I take an ITunes Library from another computer, put it on a flash drive and put that library on multiple other computers?

I will be creating a new ITunes on each computer. Do I then just plug in the flash drive and copy it to the new library? Is this the same process as I created new playlists?

HT5172 Glad to have USB capability on my new iMac. Been in Mac world all of 2 days now. Question - I downloaded photos from a Centron flash drive and am wondering if flash drives have to be ejected the same as on a PC? Can't find how to do it. Thanks.

Been in the iMac world now all of 2 days. I'm glad to have USB capability. I downloaded photos from a Centron flash drive and now need to remove the flash drive. Do you eject flash drives on iMacs as we did on PC's? Can't find an answer in the support area. Thanks...

Yes. All external drives regardless of how they are connected must be ejected before they can be unplugged.

Download and intall the Windows Support software. You can start Bootcamp Assistant again and only select the option to download the support software. Then follow the instructions to save and install the support software.
Or, manually download the support software here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/downloads/.

Do other USB devices work on your MBP?
Does this USB stick work on other MBPs?
There is a possibility that the stick requires more power than the MBP delivers. Try it on a powered hub.

If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc. you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder.
You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it.
You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library.
If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod. I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

I bought a used macbook air, it didn't come with the flash drive to do a factory reset. Can I download the info needed and save it to my own flash drive and then do a factory reset? If not what can I do?

If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, click here, phone Apple, and order a replacement.
If it originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart it with the Option, Command, and R keys held down.

For a while now my computer has been saying " Start up disk is nearly full", however I don't have a lot of stuff saved on the computer I moved a lot to a flash drive, and all the other stuff are songs and recently saved essays for school. Help.

For a while now my computer has been saying " Start up disk is nearly full", however I don't have a lot of stuff saved on the computer I moved a lot to a flash drive, and all the other stuff are songs and recently saved essays for school. I have and frequently empty my trash can. I have researched this before and i see a lot of things that say get a external hard drive, but before I go and purchase one I want to make sure there is no other, simpler way, to solve this problem. Help Please.

You need an external drive so you can free up disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Firefox doesn't have an "export" feature built into it for password data.
Exactly what did you do to "export" your passwords?
Did you use this extension?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
If so, see the screenshots on that page to see the Import function.
If you copied the two files that are used for storing passwords from the old computer to back them up, just copy those 2 files into the Profile folder on the new computer to restore them.
