Stop Image Capture from launching

Image Capture launches whenever I connect a memory card. I knew I can disable the automatic launch in the preferences, but then it won't launch when I hook camera up. Is there a way to make sure it only launches when I connect a camera and not a memory card?

Hi,
just by pure coincidence I came across this article the other day which I think might be just what you need - http://lifehacker.com/5310161/cameras-improves-the-way-os-x-deals-with-connected -cameras

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.

Stop Image Capture for iPhone?

I know I can stop Image Capture opening for all devices but is there any way of stopping it open when I connect just my iPhone? I find it useful opening up when I attach a camera but not my iPhone. I'm presuming not but just thought I'd ask.

that would be a nice feature, apple should take that as a feature request.
i wouldn't even need an option to configure all cameras, just two switches to configure launching image capture on/off when an iphone is connected, and when a photo camera (or cardreader with compact flash card etc.) is connected.

History of images "captured" from video

Usually when you import an image, in the History panel you find the first entry states when it was imported eg. "Import (date time)"
Could we have something the same in the History panel for images captured from video? At present there is nothing there when you first check it out and you can't truely go back to the start (unless you managed to remember to take a snapshot before you touch a slider.)
I'm using the Windows 32 bit version. The above issue is consistent with both the DSLR (Canon 5D II) and normal video I borrowed from my Dad.

Hi Sarah,
Good idea. I can't promise you anything on this one but I'll raise it with the team.

Image capture from avi vfw device can't find video modes

Hello
Here my issu, i have implemented image capture from a video device using jmf 2.1.1e performancepack, using a webcam everything is fine but when i use the video capture source i want to use i can only work with format 720x480 pal and i require 720x576 pal.
jmf seem not to reconize video format from this source, but the video is correcty displayed and image correctly captured. I'm surprised it is half working:decoding&render is ok to but not format choice.
I have check it is not because i'm in ntsc mode (ntsc is 720x480) because my analogic source is pal and color are correct (if with device software i change to ntsc mode i have a black&with but using jmf i'm in color so i'm in pal mode)
Difference bettween the webcam and my device is that my device is an avi encoder so in jmf webcam is javax.media.format.YUVFormat and my device com.sun.media.format.AviVideoFormat
i have tried many thing:
install codec pack (divx6, another codec pack)
try to use Fobs4JMF
register in JMStudio IBMdecoder, jffmpeg
Tanks for any help
the device support many configuration UYVY 235x288 352x576 .... 720x576 but JMF offer only 1 video mode for this device.
here in jmf my capture device info:

Direct Still Image capture from video

How would I capture a still image with a firewire connection from a camcorder capturing all the pixels from that image. I was hoping to use Image Capture or Quicktime but I have not found a solution.
The solution needs to be apple scriptable.
Thanks,
Drew

You could use iMovie to "copy" a frame. A DV camera would be 720X480 image.
QuickTime Pro could also be used as it supports Firewire connected cameras and has a "Record" feature.
Simply pause or stop capture and scrub through (right left arrow keys) to find your frame. Copy, open new Player window and paste. Export to Picture and choose your format.
QuickTime has an AppleScript library. iMovie does not.

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

Image Capture from iPhone to OS X and File Permissions

Hello. I'm running Lion 10.7.3 and have an iPhone 4S and iPad 2. When I use the Image Capture app to transfer pictures and videos from my devices to OS X it works great with the exception of one problem. Every file that it copies over ends up with permissions of:
(Me): Read & Write
everyone: No Access
This is problematic because when my wife is logged into her profile or anyone else tries to view these files via shared folders, they can't see them. I'm putting them into a folder I created on "Macintosh HD". The folder that they are in has permission of:
(Me): Read & Write
wheel: Read only
everyone: Read only
Each time I import I suppose I could drop into Terminal and run a command to fix the issues but there must be a better way.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Got a solution using Automator.
Create a workflow like:
This is an Image Capture Plugin. When you open Automator select Image Capture as the type of workflow and select these two actions.
Copy Finder Items will take the image from Image Capture and copy to your disk. Select the folder you want the image to go to in the To: pulldown. You should select the /Users/Shared folder and any subfolder you wish. I made a folder named Images.
In the second action make sure Pass Input: is set to as arguments and then add the chmod 644
Then exit Automator giving the workflow a name. In Image Capture you should see the workflow you just created
in the Import To: pulldown. Select it. Now when you import the fiels wil be copied to the folder you specified and the permissions will be set to 644 rw for you r for everyone else.
good luck. post back if you have any questions.
(and this is in the Lion list so my question about Aperture above is meaningless! )

Stop DVD player from launching

Is there a keyboard combination that I can press when inserting a DVD that will prevent the DVD Player from launching?
gbs

Ignore routinely (you may already know how) or only on occasion?
To make this a routine change:
Go to System Preferences, CD & DVD and set the action there to ignore when you insert a video DVD, as an example.

How do I do I stop System Preferences from Launching in Mountain Lion when I switch on?

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, system preferences opens every time although I quit it when shutting down and the box is unchecked for reopen windows when I shut down and I have ticked the box in General to close windows when quitting an application. I have read the other answers but it is not in log in items or any of the start up or launch folders so I cannot prevent it. Any ideas or am I stuck with it opening each time?

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Help stop Dmailer app from launching

I downloaded an application called Dmailer (http://www.dmailer.com/) but then decided I didn't want it and deleted it from my Applications and Downloads folders. However this application still launches automatically whenever I start up my iMac. Any ideas how to stop this?

HI,
Not sure if this will help but I had a similar problem with a software product on start up. If you go into:
system preferences
accounts
login items
then deselect Dmailer. However not sure if it will show up there if you have already deleted it.

WDS: Can an image captured from a HDD be deployed to a SSD (and still have all the benefits of an SSD...)?

WDS Server is Windows Server 2012. All captured images are Windows 7 x64 Enterprise. I'm capturing images from a virtual machine (VMware Workstation) on a HDD and hoping to deploy to SSDs. Will this cause any issues? Will certain
SSD advantages be disabled? Are there any steps I need to take to make it work/optimize it?

I would say it wouldn't change anything in terms of performance. If you do a capture and sysprep it would be just like you install from scratch from a DVD, since sysprep removes all hardware-related information. The advantage of SSD is usually only dependent
on the controller and driver. As you say if you have SATA mode AHCI or RAID, this usually releases the controllers full capabilities as 6Gbps port, aswell all native querying etc.
However, since you are running IRST, I want to mention that the IRST driver makes a BIG difference, e.g. if you are having Dell systems and running either RAID0 or RAID5, the performance increase can be up to +50% using the latest drivers from Intel instead
of the built in ones. I haven't tested the difference for single disks though, but it shouldn't differ as much.

Image capture from itunes movie/ tv show purchases and rentals ?

I'd like to get screen grabs (preferably high quality images) from itunes movies for personal use. Is there any way to do this with Lion ? I have tried Snapz Pro already and just get the chequered grey and white image.
My macbook pro does not have a disk drive so this is purely for stuff from itunes which I believe cannot be played through VLC or quicktime etc. Any help would be much appreciated !

was wondering if I would be able to download movies and tv shows straight from the itunes store to the ipad,
Yes, you can purchase and download directly from the iPad. Use the iTunes app. The iTunes Store interface on the iPad only displays a limited selection of the available content, so for many items you may need to use the Search.
As to Netflix, they have an app for the iPad:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/netflix-inc/id363590054
as does ABC:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/netflix-inc/id363590054
I don't know about other sources for TV shows, though there may well be. I know of no other sources for feature films at this time.

Stopping Image Store from Popping Up

Hi all,
I'm running a Media Centre with a photo frame attached via the second VGA out. I've set my N95 to copy all new images via bluetooth whenever I walk into the house, which works really well as my new photos just appear on the photoframe automatically. However, seeing that this is a Media Centre Only PC, it's quite annoying to have Image Store popping up every time it syncs because it quite often takes the focus from MCE.
Is there a way to make Image Store still sync the photos but still stay in the tray, just like PC Sync?
Thanks in advance,
Nik

How do I stop Elements 5 from launching every time I insert a memory stick ?

My old PC [still] runs Win XP.
Elements 5, which has proved very handy for making minor adjustments to my inept method of photography, seems to want to run Every Time I insert a memory stick, and takes ages compiling a list of just about every photo I've ever taken regardless of who for.
I want to stop it doing this so I can concentrate on what I want to do, rather than what IT wants to do.
Anyone got any ideas please?
