STOP auto-launch of iPhoto when Mem card connected

How do I stop iPhoto from launching when I plug in my cellphone?
This is really a pain, because every time I try to eject the cellphone (memory card), iPhoto crashes, then re-launches and re-mounts the memory card, again and again and again.
STOP iPhoto, Stop !

**** WHOOPS !!! ****
Now when I try to eject the cellphone, it says "<item> in use and cannot be ejected"
You have to quit iPhoto first, then eject it.
THEN, after a while, you get an Error Dialog message on screen which says "Try quitting application and try again" -- BUT IT DOES NOT SAY WHICH APPLICATION TO QUIT (G'dam Apple stupidity)
What other Apps "MIGHT BE" using the cellphone memory card to prevent it's ejection ? (iPhoto is NOT running).
Now, when I eject the volume, it disappears for a while, then the Error "In Use" message appears, and the volume re-mounts.
Arrrggghhh..

  • Disable auto launch of iphoto when iphone is connected to mac

    Hey everyone, anyone know how to prevent iphoto from launching when I connect my iphone? Thank you.
    Ken

    Of course, as anyone who has needed to Restore their iPhone, discovered that their backup was corrupt (happens quite often), and thus lost the pics they snapped with the iPhone, can tell you - you may be better off letting iPhoto launch, importing then deleting the pics from the iPhone, and syncing them back via iTunes so they're not lost for good. Just my 2¢.

  • How do I turn off auto-launch of iPhoto when the iPhone is connected

    I hate it that whenever I connect my iPhone to my MBP iPhoto automatically launches. Any help is appreciated.
    Jacob

    To do that follow these steps
    Go into Applications
    Open Image Capture
    Next to the blue apple to left hand corner, click on image capture
    Go into Preferences
    At the top of the window that opens, change option: When A Camera is connected, Open:
    Change the drop down menu to no application
    That should prevent iphoto from opening when phone is connected.

  • Stop auto launching at startup??

    How do I get Spotify to stop auto launching at startup of my desktop?  I have looked all over and cannot find the option.
    Thanks.

    Here's another "me too" followed by what I've done so far. In Windows 7, about three weeks ago my Spotify started loading at startup.I checked preferences, for some reason the option had changed on its own to load at startup. I reset to "do NOT load" at startupThe next time I rebooted, it started up on its own again. I checked settings, they had changed back again. Again I fixed my preferencesThe NEXT time I rebooted, it happened again! This time I not only changed the setting back to NOT load at startup, I also opened MSCONFIG and checked the TWO, count-em, TWO entries of Spotify to prevent loading at startup. Pop up box suggested restartiing the computer. I did, no Spotify loaded. Yay...for now...however,Two hours later I took my laptop with me on a business visit. When I turned on the computer, Spotify loaded AGAIN.I again opened MSCONFIG and found FOUR, count-em, FOUR entries of Spotify I had to check to prevent loading at startup.This is getting very frustrating. It's my belief that some recent upgrade to Spotify is causing this, as it only started a few weeks ago. Someone with Spotify needs to check into this! Help me Obi Wan!!

    this is the start of when computers become our masters... Bow down and yield to the iPhone...

  • Stop auto-creation of Assoc when creating Entities

    How can we stop auto-creation of Assoc files when creating Entities?

    Hi Varshal,
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    However, we thought of an alternate method that does involve changing the customers existing business process.
    1) Change the field AUDISP in the network profile to 1 "Never" for the conversion.
    2) Migrate the data. Program will create Networks, Activities & Components with the field AUDISP set to "Never create Reservation or Purchase Requisition".
    3) Change the field in AUDISP in the network profile back to "2 From Release".
    We will have to get the users to clean-up their data (close outstanding PRs or convert those PRs to POs) before this exercise for a clean cut-over.

  • Stop image capture from opening when iphone is connected ?

    how do i get "image capture" to stop auto opening when i connect my iphone ?
    i have set image capture to open when i connect a camera, but i don't want it to open when i connect the iphone.
    is this possible ?

    Chenks,
    The way you have it set, Image Capture will open whenever it detects photos that have been taken with the iPhone. To prevent it, you can just import the photos you've taken with the iPhone to your computer and then erase them off the phone (you can then sync them back to the phone if you want them), or you can set Image Capture to not open when any camera is connected. That will apply to other digital cameras as well as the iPhone.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.

  • ITunes auto launches on startup (no iPod/Phone connected)

    For the last couple of weeks (perhaps longer) I've noticed iTunes launches itself whenever I restart my MacBook Pro.
    There is no iPhone connected at the time.
    Everything is up to date in software.
    I've removed iTunes helper from my login items.
    I'm at a loss.
    Your assistance in resolving this matter would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers!
    Darcy

    I just tried restarting again, this time with iTunes last closed on my music tab rather than the store tab, where I realized it had been parked for some time.
    iTunes still auto launched on startup, though after a longer delay than usual.
    AND after I quit iTunes, it auto launched itself again. That was a first.
    For what it's worth.

  • How do I turn off preference to open iPhoto when camera is connected

    How do I turn off the  preference to open iPhoto when a camera is connected? Especially when an iPad or iPhone is connected. I've tried trashing the iPhoto.plist and lockfile but it still turns on.

    That's in the iphoto Preferences. Connecting Camera open... And just select 'No Application'

  • Auto-launch of iphoto

    I'm sure I'm overlooking something stupid, but how do you stop iphoto from automatically launching when the iPhone starts to sync?

    I posted this other option on another thread:
    I find it doesn't open iPhoto if your phone doesn't contain any photos that you took on the iPhone that are still in the "camera roll". I download the photos to iPhoto into a folder I named "From iPhone" which I have checked off to sync with the iPhone (if I do want them to be on the iPhone) then I delete them from the iPhone from the "camera roll" section of photos or from the camera app. Until I take a new photo from the iPhone, iPhoto doesn't open, the photos are still on the phone and in iPhoto and iPhoto will still open when I've taken new pictures via iPhone or my camera.
    You could also set iPhoto to delete photos from camera after downloading but I don't want iPhoto to automatically do that with my photos from my regular camera ... I'm afraid I'll forget to uncheck the box so I use the above method.
    A P.S. to this, if you've take pictures to use as contact photos, you can remove the photo itself after you've applied it to the contact and it will still work even if it's not on your iPhone at all.

  • Help for Canceling Auto Launch of iPhoto

    I am a photographer who uses the Canon Software exclusively but everytime I insert a media card into the card reader iPhoto launches. It is inconvenient because I have to wait for iPhoto to load and then I close it. Then I open my Canon software. Is there a way to cancel iPhoto from automatically launching everytime I insert a media card?

    Leslie,
    Can you change this behavior if you open Image Capture>Preferences>General>When a camera is connected, open: (Make your choice)?
    ;~)

  • How can i change the default country in iPhoto when ordering cards and submitting a shipping address

    I am a Canadian visiting in the states.  I have a MacBook with latest IOS 10.7.5 and IPhoto 11 running 9.2.3.  I have checked my Apple ID and have my Primary address as a Canadian address, and two USA addresses listed as shipping addresses.  After closing and re-oping iPhoto, and logging in with my me.com id, I attempt trying to order Christmas cards which I've created in iPhoto.  However, after selecting "Buy Card" I get to a screen where the country is notaed as "Canada", and as I fill out a shipping address, I am given an error message when typing in State/prob abbreviation (MI for Michigan) and postal code because they are USA items.  The name "Canada" is viewable on the screen and non-changeable.  How do i able to get a US shipping address selected for my cards?

    IPhoto menu ==> preferences ==> advanced
    Set the print products country to US
