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.

Calendar Sync Error message when syncing my iPhone4 in iTunes

I get the following message when syncing my iPhone4 in iTunes: itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because the sync server failed to sync the iphone. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. My Nano will copy the first 275MB of songs over, but after that, I get:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "(ipod name)" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I've restored my nano multiple times, and updated to the latest version of iTunes (7.6.0.29). Software version on my Nano is 1.1.3.
I'm on a Windows XP system and have had no problems until yesterday when I attempted to add more songs.

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.

No, there is not yet a way to do that. Albums created on the iPhone cannot be synced back to the mac.
You might try other ways to send photos back to the mac in a structured way, depending on your IOS version:
You could use Journals instead of albums. If you share a Journal, you can see it on your Mac. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3152
Or create shared photo streams. iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams

How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data in the packet cannot be read from or written to"?

Regarding not being able to open iPhoto. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why is the cursor uncontrollable when syncing devices in iTunes?

When syncing any device with iTunes, the cursor will not pinpoint what you want.

Yes I do manually manage my music through Itunes and on my IPhone. Do you recommend I use the sync option in future to avoid this happening again?
Both myself and my other half have the IPhone 3Gs and when we are using our home wifi it seems to drop connection with the router and resort to 3G. This happens fairly regularly now and our wireless is rock solid, it is used for downloading large amounts and a lot of online gaming. We have never had a problem with our wifi for laptops and the PS3s.
The sound on my phone will just stop working, I can unlock after even a few minutes and the key sounds and unlock sound will not be there, I open the ipod and nothing, no sound through the phone speaker or through a cable to my amp and not even to headphones. A reboot usually corrects this but last time I locked the phone and the next morning it was working fine.
I guess I could be doing something wrong or maybe just being picky, its such an awseome device and I want to get the most from it all of the time.

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

No. When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library. Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications. You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
You can check the properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Command+B on Mac).
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.

Is there anyway to stop the auto-refresh when using HsGetValue?

Hi there
I am just wondering if there is a way to stop the automatic refresh when opening a workbook that has HsGetValue functions? The issue I am having is that when you create a report in Smart View using the HsGetValue function, save it down, disconnect from Smart View then open it up again, it automatically tries to refresh the data. If you do not type your login, it just changes to #NEED REFRESH and you cant see the data anymore. This only happens when you have Smart View installed, if you are on a vanilla computer you can see the numbers no problems.
The reason we dont want it to refresh is that we want to be able to view data at a point in time, instead of always refreshing to the latest data.
I know that I can stop the refresh by changing Excel to Manual Calculation, instead of auto-calculation on formulas, but this isnt a viable solution as users arent used to manually pressing the Calculate button in Excel for their non Hyperion work.
We are using 11.1.1.3 Planning and Essbase.
Thanks!

See this post Smart view first refresh
Aside from turning auto-calculation off, you would need to copy the cells and paste them as values to get a static worksheet. This will eliminate any future refreshes.

If it's not too late, see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. As long as you have a backup of the device when the device still held your photos you should stand a chance of recovering them using a tool such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

How can I stop the intro voice when I play a genius mix

HOw can I stop the intro voice when I play a genius mix?

Hi Diavonex. Yes I was aware of this option.
Subsequently I have done a litle research and downloaded a music app called "Track 8" which has a much clearer interface (larger type) and the abillity to change the background colour to dark or light.
This is much more readable in the car in bright light, and much better at night too.
You can also turn off auto-lock within the application, which is great, as it doesn't affect other apps.
Although this app is really only an interface sitting on top of the music app, it offers a much better experience
in my opinion that the stock player which seems to have devolved rather than evolved.

I accidently pulled the cable out when syncing. Now my ipod automatically restarts after a few seconds. What do I do?

Please help
I accidently pulled the cable out when syncing. Now my ipod automatically restarts. What do i do?

OK, in that case a restore should fix things:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
