Stop iPhoto opening up when connecting iPhone

Does anyone know if there's a setting to stop iPhoto opening when I connect my iPhone everytime?

If you have iLife '08, go to iPhoto > Preferences > General tab and set the pop-up for "When camera is connected:" to No Application. If you have an earlier version of iLife, that setting is found in Applications > Image Capture > Preferences.
iPhoto launches because you have images in your Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone). If the Camera Roll is empty, iPhoto will not launch. You may consider transferring those pics to iPhoto and deleting them from the iPhone with the transfer, then adding them to an iPhoto library and syncing them back. That's a better strategy for keeping those pics than leaving them on the iPhone Camera Roll.

Stop iTunes popping up when connecting iPhone

Hi,
everytime when I insert my iPhone to its cradle, iTunes pops up in front of all others screens and shows the message 'connecting to iPhone'. I make way to many calls a day while working on my Mac so this popping up gets really annoying. Is there a way to change this?
Thanks! Naan

Yes, you have to deselect it in iTunes by going to:
iTunes > Preferences > Syncing > disable autosyncing of iPhone and iPod.

How to stop iphoto opening automatically.

Hi everyone,
I have forgotten how to stop iphoto opening up when I put my camera memory card in the reader.
I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I am now using Photoshop Elements 6 on my Macbook.
Thanks in advance and a happy and healthy New Year from England,
Alan

Hi,
Thanks for your quick answer but I managed to do it through Image Capture.
You have to have the camera or reader connected then open Image Capture.
I clicked on the device ( name of card reader ) and in the bottom left I could choose from a drop down menu where I wanted the card to open.
Thanks again,
Alan

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

In iTunes click on your phone under "Devices" on the left of the screen > "Summary" tab > Options: "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected".

When connecting iphone to computer iphoto always loads

When connecting iphone to my computer iphotos always loads on top. how do I stop iphotos from loading

When there are photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll, your iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. Although photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup alone for these photos, and deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete will improve your iPhone's backup time. If you want any of the imported photos available on your iPhone for viewing, you can add the photos to an existing iPhoto album already selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync, or create a new iPhone album for the recently imported photos, select the new iPhoto album under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.

How do I stop iphoto opening on start up of mac? (not when adding a device etc)

How do I stop iPhoto opening whenever I start up my mac? (not when adding a device etc) There are lots of answers for stopping it auto-opening when attaching a camera, iPod/Pad and I have 'no application' selected for those, I just cant pin-point how to change the basic start-up/loading setting. Thanks :-)

In iPhoto go to the General preference pane and set No Application as the option when a camera is connected
If that doesn't do the trick connect your device to the Mac and launch Image Capture. In the lower left hand corner select No Application again:

Any pointers to a solution.

I have the exact same problem. And my wife's iphone 5 also has the same problem. Anyone knows the resolution? It worked fine before we restored both phones. Thanks.

option 'open itunes when this iphone is connected' it appears dimmed and not
selectable through my itunes. any help?

Yes,.. Open iTunes-Preferences-Devices- then uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". select OK. Done!

Can't select "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" in iTunes.

iTunes wouldn't launch when I plugged the phone into my laptop. I opened iTunes manually & the option to "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" is now grayed out. How can I re-select that option?

Yes,.. Open iTunes-Preferences-Devices- then uncheck "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically". select OK. Done!

Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected

So; i finaly got to update my Mac to 10.6.5. Following a update of iTunes to 10.1. A few days after i recieved my iPhone 4 and updated that one directly from the box to 4.2.1.
The "Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected" are checked.
Prefs->Devices "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads fro.." are NOT checked.
And still iTunes don't start when i plug inn my iPhone. Anyone knows if there are there any fixes for this?

launch *Activity Monitor* and look for a process called iTunesHelper.
iTunesHelper or iTunes Helper, is a program from Apple that runs in the background and monitors for the connection of any iPod or iPhone to the computer
if that process is not present, try *removing iTunes completely* (click here and follow the instructions), then reinstall it using the standalone installer from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
note this will not touch your media files, playlists, ratings, etc.

ITunes freezes and doesn't respond when connecting iPhone 4

Well yesterday I had the two of the most common problems that a lot of people seem to be having with iTunes after the latest update- opening iTunes and not getting my iPhone 4 to be recognized. I solved the iTunes problem last night and iPhone is now being recognized on my computer but when I connect it to my computer iTunes automatically freezes and stops responding. When I disconnect it and restart iTunes it responds again and runs smoothly like nothing happened.
When it freezes beside "iTunes Store" it says "iPhone" and it seems like it freezes while it's trying to sync my phone. I've tried restarting my computer, leaving it connected before starting iTunes, waiting until iTunes comes up to connect it, but whatever I do iTunes just won't work with my iPhone connected. Any ideas on how to fix this?

ITunes won't open automatically after connecting iPhone

Maybe I missed the discussion on this but I did search first. I just bought an iPhone 4s and had already upgraded to iTunes 10.5. iTunes will not open when the iPhone is initially plugged in. I can manually open iTunes and it works fine. 'Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected.' is checked and the 'helper' process is running. Any ideas?
