Just to clarify, you have to have the device connected to alter the preference.

Avoiding iPhoto launch when connecting MP3 player

When I connect a Sansa Clip MP3 player to my Mac, iPhoto launches. There aren't any pictures on the Clip -- it couldn't do anything with them if there were -- but apparently there's something about it that makes iPhoto think it's a camera. The Clip is in MSC mode, so it mounts as a regular volume on my desktop, with folders like AUDIBLE, AUDIOBOOKS, MUSIC, PODCASTS, and RECORD... nothing that (to me at least) says "I'm a camera."
I do want iPhoto to launch when cameras and photo-bearing SD cards are inserted, so I don't want to disable its auto-launch feature completely -- I just don't want it to think that the Clip is a camera.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or know what it is about an external "drive" that leads OS X to treat it as a photo source?
Thanks!

Thanks, Larry, but that doesn't appear to be the case, at least not with my quick test. I have a regular 4G USB flash drive that's formatted as FAT. When I plug it in, it mounts normally, but iPhoto doesn't launch. Could it be something else, or am I missing something? Thanks again!

IPhoto Starts when connecting iPad; not iTunes

Hi Folks,
I've checked the settings in iTunes under "Summary/Options" in iTunes and the option is checked to start iTunes when the iPad is connected.
However, when ever I connect my iPad to my iMac, iPhoto starts automagically instead.... I have manually start iTunes and even then it takes several seconds for iTunes to recognise that I've connected the iPad.
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks!
Richard

iPhoto opening automatically was annoying me, too, but I found a solution in this iPad discussion group. I don't know how to insert a link, but here is the address, the answer being the last posting.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12600577&#12600577
The solution has something to do with "ImageCapture", so you could search in this discussion group for that if the address above doesn't work. Or, search "iPhoto", and the answer is in a posting from November 17, 2010.

How to stop iPhoto launch when saving pictures in Safari?

How do I stop iPhoto from automatically launching or coming to the front of the screen every time I want to save a picture I find using Safari? It's incredibly annoying that each time I click to save one, iPhoto just jumps right into my face.
Thanks!

Hi Neil -
Thanks for getting back so quickly. Unfortunately this didn't do the trick.
Perhaps I should have been more specific: I'm "adding the photos" to my library. Each time I do this iPhoto launches.
Thanks!

How to Stop iPhoto launch when iPod Touch is docked?

Each and every time I dock the iPod Touch (2nd Gen), iPhoto opens and asks if I want to import new photos. Every time!
But I already imported them and I want to keep them (screenshots made with iPod Touch image capture). So why does it keep asking?
How can I stop the automatic launch of iPhoto to ask this same question?
There are no settings in iTunes for the connected iPod Touch. There are no settings in iPhoto.
And I have reviewed past messages suggesting there is a setting in the Mac OSX app called "Image Capture" - "Down load to: Picture, Movies and Music folder" Automatic Task: set to None - but that does not work either.
What else can I do? It is VERY annoying!
Thanks & Aloha, AW

For some reason it does not work that way. You could always try turning off the ability to open iPhoto when a camera-like device is attached, using Grab.
Mind you, if they are imported into iPhoto and you sync images with the iPod touch, then you might as well delete from that folder otherwise they are duplicated on the touch.

Can i stop iphoto launching every time i connect my iPhone?

Hi,
Is there anyway i can stop iPhoto launching when i connect my iPhone to my Mac?
It's driving me nuts!
I don't use it for images and have no need for iphoto to launch.
Many thanks.

Solved, thanks!
The image capture solution works best because i still want iPhoto to launch when i connect my camera.

Itunes 10.4 not launching when connecting iphone

Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Just updated iTunes to 10.4. iTunes will not launch when connecting the iPhone to my MacBook Pro. Once connected, manually opening iTunes will allow the sync to happen, but only then. iTunes helper app is there in Login items.
Minor inconvenience, but could be a problem if I miss too many syncs due to this.
Any thoughts?

I had the exact same problem upgrading iTunes to 10.4 on Snow Leopard. It looks like there's a problem with iTunesHelper under Login Items. I found the solution here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15666966 Simply follow the instructions to re-add iTunesHelper to Login Items, restart, and you should be good to go!

Why am I getting sound distortion when connecting iPad 2 to amplifier.

I am getting sound distortion when connecting iPad or iPod thru amplifier using AirPlay or 3.5mm to rca cables. Also the sound has far too much bass. No problems when connected in car.

It sounds like a mismatched impedence. What are you connecting to? the output from the jack is intended for headphones, and is not just an audio out.
Try turning the volume on the pad way down, and use the gain on your amp, and see if that minimizes the issue.
There is a pure audio signal for both channels on the 31 pin plug, but you would need a special cable to use it. I would bet they are available if you google. Although I have read that the 31 pin signal is not filtered like the headphone output, so while it is a pure audio output, there may be some noise in it that would need to be filtered.
Try google for a 31 pin cable. ( the input for the car is probably built to take a signal from a headphone output, while your amp may be expecting a lower power signal)

Will my Mac automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?

Will my 2012 Macbook pro retina automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?

Depends.
If you go in System Preferences / Network, you will see a list of all the network interfaces your current configuration has. If you click on the gear icon next to the minus sign, the drop menu will offer "Set Service Order...". There you can prioritize the order of use: Ethernet above Wi-Fi and wireless will be ignored if Ethernet is available.
Note that the Wi-Fi card will remain active and associated with an access point nonetheless. It just won't be used for communications by the OS and apps.

MacPro stop FaceTime opening when connecting camera

MacPro stop FaceTime opening when connecting camera

thanks for helping, but i already saw this thread.
Ive got the same problem than this people, given my camera is firewire iidc.
"Unfortunately, FireWire video cameras are not recognized as imaging sources, so Image Capture doesn't pick them up. As a result, you can't use Image Capture to prevent FaceTime from accessing this video camera"
Another solution?
using Terminal?
killing facetime?

When connecting ipad to iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone?

When connecting ipad to my iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone? I only figured out I had a problem when my partner did the exact same set up and it showed up as only 1 device connected. I have changed the password and turned it off/on and etc. the really weird thing is now when my ipad is turned off and I turn my iphone personal hotspot on it shows up with 1 connection (when I don't have anything connected) for about 5 secs and then goes off and then 1 device connected for about 5 secs and then back off. This just keeps going on and off. What is going on. Could my phone have a bug or be hacked. Please help as it is kinda freaking me out. Thanks.

Hello asrt17,
This may occur if your iPhone is connected to your computer via USB, as it will automatically share the connection via USB.
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
When Personal Hotspot is enabled, your iOS device automatically shares your Internet connection with your computer when connected using USB.
Example: When you connect iPhone to your computer to charge or sync with iTunes. To avoid unnecessary data charges, turn off Personal Hotspot when not in use.
Cheers,
Allen

Stopping the iPhoto launch when syncing an iDevice to iTunes

Am I overlooking a simple way to prevent iPhoto automatically launching on my Mac when I connect one of my iDevices (iPad, iPhone, iPod, etc) to sync them manually with iTunes?
I am not streaming photos over iCloud, and that option is off on each of the iDevices as well as iPhoto.
Thanks,
TwinTiger

Thanks Steve,
Yes, I agree that does happen when no photos are present on an iDevice when it is being "hard" sync'ed.
However my daughters enjoy saving images from various kid's sites on their iPads, which I do not want to have collected into my iPhoto library, when I sync their iDevices for music and apps. It would be great therefore to be able to turn off the iPhoto 'pre-sync' when syncing those (and other) devices. If I can.
I would be risking family harmony if I deleted their images before syncing!
Trust this explains why.
TT

ITunes won't launch when iPod/iPad connected

going nuts! My iTunes will not launch when i connect my ipod or ipad. the setting to allow this is greyed out as is the option 'sync only ticked itmes'. I have uninstalled and installed iTunes several times. Changed as many settings as I can and back again. iMatch is on but that is causing me no end of grief too. Tried turning it off but that makes not difference. I can't copy a play list to ipod as it says iMatch is turned on on the iPod - it isn't!

Is the conmpouter authoris for the iTuens account?
Did you sync with this computer the last time?
