Stop iPhoto from switching view to connected iOS device

Hi everyone,
is there a way to always open iPhoto showing my events, even when there’s an iPad/iPhone connected? It is very annoying to have it switch automatically to the connected iOS device. Usually there even aren’t any photos on the devices since I do import them using Image Capture anyway.
I am NOT talking about iPhoto automatically opening, just about automatically selecting the iOS device in the sidebar!

Afraid not.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

  • Stop iPhoto from opening when iPhone connected

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new iPhone and a new MacBook, however, I am having a bit of trouble. Whenever I connect the iPhone to the MacBook, iPhoto opens and wants to transfer my download the photos from my iPhone. It gets annoying as I have to wait for iPhoto to completely open and then quit it evertime i connect the phone.
    Is there a way I can prevent this, ie not have my MacBook treat my iPhone as a camera?
    Thanks.

    Oh alright,
    Follow these steps:
    Plug in your iPhone.
    Launch Image Capture from our Applications folder
    Select your iPhone once it shows up under devices
    Look at the lower bottom pane where you'll see "Connecting this iPhone opens"
    Set this preference to "No application"
    Let me know if you run into any problems performing these steps.

    How do I stop iPhoto from launching?
    I usually find it's much easier to just use Photoshop to edit my pictures... iPhoto is slow as molasses in January.
    How do I stop iPhoto from launching everytime I connect my camera?
    I looked everywhere and can't find anyplace to stop it...
    Thanks!

    The same way one starts it -- Launch Image Capture, open the application's Preferences (from the Image Capture menu) and change the settings associated with connecting your camera.

  • How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

    Hi, well as the title states:
    How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
    It's getting on my nerves...
    Thanks.

    This might also be helpful:
    I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
    Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.

    set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
    set answer to button returned of question
    if answer is equal to "Yes" then
              tell application "iPhoto" to activate
    end if

  • Can I stop iPhoto from automatically mounting the iPhone, When iPhoto open?

    I use other software to grab my photos, and I use the import option to put my pictures into iPhoto. I also like to keep a lot of photos on my iPhone and whilst browsing my iPhoto library (it's always opened at startup) sometimes I want to charge the iPhone, or sync iTunes etc - it takes me away from my library I was half way through arranging and then I have to wait whilst it shows me the photos again. I can right click and unmount, but later on it comes back - I have to exit or unplug. Both of which I don't want to do. I don't want it to appear in iPhoto under devices unless I say so. It's an unwanted hassle.
    Apart from that, I am happy with it!

    open iPhoto (or image capture) and the preferences set action when camera is connected to do nothing (or to open your selected program) to stop iPhoto from being launched when you connect your iPhone

  • How do I stop iPhoto from synching w/ iPhone?

    Every time I plug in my iPhone into my Mac iPhoto launches and wants to d/l the same pictures I've already d/l'd. Is there any way to stop iPhoto from automatically launching when I plug in my iPhone, but continue to launch when I plug in my regular camera?

    You can't have it both ways since iPhoto detects the iPhone as being a digital camera when connected if photos are available that were taken by the iPhone - regardless if previously imported into iPhoto.
    You can disable iPhone automatically launching when any digital camera is connected which is my preference anyway - not a big deal for me to click on iPhoto in the Dock after connecting my digital camera or iPhone.
    The same for me with iTunes when connecting my iPod or iPhone since I'm not always ready at that time for iTunes to launch automatically and prefer manually launching the app.
    I import photos taken by the iPhone into iPhoto and then have iPhoto automatically delete those photos after the import. Since I may not want all photos taken by the iPhone remaining, I transfer select photos to photo albums and then sync or transfer those photos back to the iPhone.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from updating

    How do I stop iPhoto from updating itself every time I put a backed up iPhoto disc in to play? Now I quit or force quit iPhoto to stop it happening. Happens every time I install a CD or DVD disc. It cant possibly be necessary every time.

    Chances are, that disc was created by an earlier version of iPhoto. iPhoto is trying to convert the library on the disc into an iPhoto 6 library, because the file structure is different in v6. The only fix I know is to copy the disc to your Mac, let iPhoto update your disc as an individual library, then burn a new disc that iPhoto 6 will like.

  • How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

    iPhoto has detected faces of people I dont know, in my 'iPhoto faces' whenever I click the cross in the corner of the face (when sorting faces) the face temporarily disappears, but once I have uploaded a fresh batch of photos (and want to identify new faces) it automatically re-identifies the old photos that I don't want to have to sort again. How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

    Thank you, that makes sense (I think!) However, I need to be able to tell iPhoto who the people identified in my photos are, does that make sense? How do I identify the people in my new photos without clicking 'find faces'. I know that button searches through my photos to find faces, but it also gets me to the place where I identify the faces as my friends and family, is there a shortcut to get to that place without clicking 'find faces'? That is what I really need, please help!!

  • I like to manually upload my photo's to my computer, then import them to iPhoto. My problem with this is that now I have duplicates and it's taking up way to much space on my computer. Is there any way to stop iPhoto from creating duplicates like this?

    I always manually transfer photo's from my SD card to a new folder under Pictures, and then import them into iPhoto. After doing this for quite some time I know realize that I have all these duplicate photo's between iPhoto library and Pictures and a ton of wasted space. I want to continue to upload photo's to a new folder so I can organize them myself and then access them anytime through the finder, if I upload them through iPhoto then they're stored in "iPhoto Library" which can only be accessed through iPhoto. Is there anyway to stop iPhoto from duplicating photo's and just use it to catalog photo's from Pictures? Also on a side note, when using multiple SD cards in one folder, my camera often comes up with duplicate names for totally separate photo's, anyone have an suggestions for this?

    Yes you can set iPhoto to run in Referenced mode but don't. It makes more work for zero advantage, is unnecessary and only storing up problems for the future.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
    has how to do, and why you shouldn't.
    Using iPhoto makes the question about the filenames moot too... Other than that you'll need to renae the files.

  • How do I stop firefox from switching to new tab when opening bookmarks in new tab

    When I open a link in a new tab it does not switch to it automatically. I had to reinstall firefox to stop it from switching to new tabs automatically since the option being unticked didn't stop it from happening anyway. Now only when I open a bookmard in a new tab it still switches to the new tab and I do not want it to. Why is it doing this with the option unchecked and a fresh install with no add ons of any sort? And how do I make it stop?

    Try to set the Boolean pref <b>browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground</b> to <i>true</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.

  • Any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time iPhone syncs??

    The subject posting says it all: Is there any way to stop iPhoto from launching every time I synch my iPhone? I've clicked this and that, checked this and that. I must be missing something so if someone could help, I thank you in advance.

    OR ... delete the photos from the phone after they were imported. If you want those photos to be on the phone, set them to import during a sync. Getting them out of the iPhone's "camera roll" album is the key here.
    An easy way is to set up a iPhoto album called "for iPhone" or something. When your new photos are initially imported into iPhoto they will be in the "last roll" smart album. Select them from there and drag them into your "for iPhone" album and make sure that album is selected to sync. Either check the "delete photos after importing" box in iPhoto or delete them manually from your "camera roll" album on your iPhone after the sync. iPhoto will not automatically open until you take new photos.
    Remember ... setting Image capture to not open iPhoto, as well as the setting iPhoto to delete photos after importing ... will apply to your camera or memory card device as well.

  • How do I stop iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?

    How do I stop Iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?

    Some possibilities:
    Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
    Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
    Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from launching every time I sync my iPhone?

    I have looked for something in Preferences on both my iPhone's PHOTOS tab as well as in iPhoto but cannot find where to tell whatever I need to tell to stop iPhoto from launching automatically every time I hook up my iPhone to my Mac to sync. This is really annoying and I'd so much rather just handle anything like that via the iTunes interface vs. another window/program that has to operate to deal with stuff on the iPhone. It's INelegant at best and just simply a pain in the arse at worst.

    You mean I can use this Image Capture thing for moving stuff from scanners as well?
    You bet. Some don't prefer using iPhoto to store all imported digital camera photos or any such application (not sure why but to each his/her own) so Image Capture can be used instead which is a simple import/transfer application. Using Image Capture, you can download some or all, remove photos from the camera after the download process, select a default download location or create a new folder in the location of choice and use a chosen automatic task such as crop to a 4' x 6' which occurs after the download process is complete.
    A nice simple little application which has some juice for those who don't like using iPhoto or similar type application.
    I'm in the habit of rooting around the applications folder and utilities folder with a new Mac purchase so I was aware of Image Capture but I've always preferred using iPhoto for my digital camera import process.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?

    How do I stop iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?
    This problem started several months ago. I have tried typing more slowly and typing faster; neither help.
    It now takes me about four attempts to complete a title of about twelve characters, achieving about three characters on each attempt.
    I am running iPhoto 9.4.3 on OS X 10.8.3 on a 2.93 GHz Intel Quad-Core i7 iMac with 12 GB of DDR3 memory.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
