Turning off iPhoto as default?

I am using iView for uploading from my camera, organizing etc...and would like to turn iPhoto off as the default program so that it doesn't start up when I plug in my camera.
How is this done??
Thanks.

Hy Fat,
launch Image capture (it's in your applications folder) and change the settings in the preference pane.

  • Turning off iphoto import while syncing

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to turn off iphoto so it doesn't automatically sync up to iphone when you put it into cradle? I've tried turning it off in preferences, but doesn't work.
    Thanks.

    Open iphoto -> preferences -> there is a drop-down Connecting camera opens:
    Or:
    Applications>Image Capture> Preferences> When camera is connected open<No Application>
    First one is for iLife '08 only

  • Turn off iPhoto automatically opening when iPod syncs

    When I plug in my iPod Touch, iTunes automatically opens, as does iPhoto if I have saved photos on my iPod.  I don't want iPhoto to open up as sometimes I'm in the middle of other work.  Is there a way to turn off iPhoto from automatically opening whenever I plug my iPod Touch in to sync?

  • How do I turn off "all day" default on calander?

    In my calander on iPad when I add an event the "all day" functions always turned on. How can I change it so that the default is set to off?

    Here is a link to the artical I read.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/162218/2011/09/how_to_make_lions_ical_less_annoy ing.html#lsrc.rss_main
    also in th artical there is a terminal edit you can do to change it to 60 minutes.
    Q: The default duration for new events is one hour. Can I change this?
    A: Not using iCal’s interface or preferences, but, as often, there’s a way to do this using Terminal. Open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities), and enter (or just copy and paste) the following text if you want to set your events to default to 30 minutes:
    defaults write com.apple.iCal 'Default duration in minutes for new event' 30
    Press Return. If iCal is running, quit the application and relaunch it for the change to take effect.
    If you want a different duration, replace “30” with something else. If you want to change this back to the one-hour default, run the same command with 60 as the duration.

  • Turning off itunes as default

    I'm trying to download an audiobook to a device other than my ipod, but itunes keeps popping up as the default and preventing it. How do I turn it off?

    Yes, I'm running windows. When I try to download an audiobook from a library sharing site called "overdrive", itunes luanches itself and won't let me download it to my Sony content transfer program for my walkman.
    Apparently, I've somehow set itunes as the default program for all media downloads and I can't figure out how to turn it off.

  • Turning off iPhoto when Camera device is connected to computer??

    An ardent user of Adobe Lightroom, each time when a camera device is connected to my computer, iPhoto will be the first application speeding ahead to import the pictures, which is no longer my preference. How can I prevent iPhoto in recognizing any camera device so that it does not run the application as I no longer wish to import photos thru iPhoto other than uninstalling this wonder piece of iLife?

    Launch iPhoto (or image capture) and in the preferences set the preference for "when camera is connected" to do nothing - or image capture set it to launch an application of your choice

  • Turn OFF iPhoto AutoLaunch

    I am using iPhoto 5.. it came with my Powerbook.
    Every time I insert a compact flash card (via a USB reader) into my computer, iPhoto launches, which I do not want to happen. It has become highly annoying since I sometimes transfer hundreds of photos a day.
    I have looked through the preferences (iPhoto and System) and could not find anything. Will uninstalling iPhoto Help? I don't actually want to, but truthfully, I don't use the program anyway.
    I hear wonderful things about iPhoto... but usually, I don't organize the photos when I transfer them, but later.. and I use other software to do so. Also, sometimes there are files on the memory card that are not photos..
    Thanks if anyone can help. I am an adult. I want to choose when to launch my own appplications.

  • How turn off Photos autostarting when connecting iPad

    When I connect my iPad Mini 3 (iOS 8.3) to Yosemite 10.10.3 over USB, my MacBook Pro always starts Photos.
    How do I turn off Photos autostarting?
    My iPad is a test bed for apps, so Photos always comes over my Xcode screen when I least want it
    Besides, there is no pictures on the iPad to sync anyway
    I've been looking in the manuals and on the forums here, to no avail. That is why I turn to you.
    Thanks, Eburon

    I found the answer, so I'd happily share it:
    Follow these steps to turn off iPhoto’s auto-startup when you connect your iOS device to your Mac:
    Connect your iOS device to your Mac via your Lightning or 30-pin sync cable. (iPhoto will open one last time, go ahead and close it.)
    Open the Image Capture app. (It’s in your Applications folder.)
    Click on your iOS device in the left-hand pane.
    At the bottom left of the Image Capture window, you’ll see a pull-down option allowing you to select what happens when your connect this iOS device to your Mac. (You may need to click the tiny “up” arrow in the lower left corner before you see this option.)
    The top option is “No application.” Click that option to select it.
    Close out the app. iPhoto should no longer pop-up every time you connect you iOS device to you Mac.
    With special thanks to Kirk McElhearn, (via The Loop), for the original tip and Chris Hauk for making me find it on Google.

  • My iPhoto often have difficulty in opening without the "repair". Maybe it's because I have almost 2000 pictures! When I initiate repair using Mac for a long time to find and sort faces .... Is it possible to turn off or avoid this feature?

    This user has found a "hack" to turn off faces.  Several users have reported success with the method.  I can't comfirm the method as I've not used it.  Use at your own risk.

    Re: Iphoto 11 -How to turn off faces?
    Dec 30, 2013 9:06 AM (in response to mkmichaelmk)
    Start of solution:
    I did some digging in the prefs of iPhoto and found out the following. This is how you can disable (turn off) Face detection, without deleting faces found so far (just in case you want to restart processing at another time):
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Open Terminal Application (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
    3. Type the following (exactly as is):
    defaults write com.apple.iPhoto PKFaceDetectionEnabled 0
    (then return)
    4. - Start iPhoto - Faces stops getting on your nerves...
    If you ever need to re-enable faces, just do the same again and replace the 0 with 1.

  • IPhoto 9.3.1  Photo Stream Turns off

    Why is Photo Stream always turned off when I close iPhoto? This forces me to turn it back on again...anyone have a clue?
    Thanks in advance!
    Robb

    I get the same but not every time I close and reopen iPhoto.  You could the following:
    1 - make a backup copy of your library if you don't already have one.
    2 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    3 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    4 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Trying to restore photos from external drive and realized TimeMachine had been turned off.  Found in Imac backup folder in iPhoto library a modified folder with many of the missing pics.  Can I restore these?

    I recently had a hard drive crash on my iMac.  After replacing the drive, I discovered that TimeMachine had apparently been turned off for six months, and all my photos from that period were missing after the restore.  In looking on the external drive used by TimeMachine, I discovered a folder called Imac backup, and under iPhoto Library was a folder called Originals and subfolders for each year.  To my surprise, there were photos covering the missing time period!  Somehow I imported the 2011 folder from the external drive into iPhoto, and then I discovered they were small files of less than 100 KB each, not the 1-2 MB original photos.  So now all of 2011 is screwed up, not just from May on.  These photos also include faces pulled from many larger group photos.
    I can get Jan - April restored using TimeMachine.  But in continuing to explore the Imac backup folder, I found a similar folder in iPhoto Library called Modified.  This folder has many of the missing photos in their original MB size in folders indexed by date for the missing period after April.  Is there a way that I can get these modified photos back onto my new hard drive and into the iPhoto library without causing more damage?  If TimeMachine was turned off after April, how did those modified photos and all those small images from the missing period find their way to the external drive?
    Any wisdom greatly appreciated.

    What you want to do is merge the two Libraries? The only way to do this is to use the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    I created a new iPhoto Library on the iMac and dragged the entire iPhoto Library from the MacBook into that new Library. It worked, however it all came over into one big album and my previous album structure was gone
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.

  • Yesterday, I plugged in my iPod to sync, and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there a setting I may have accidentally turned off?

    and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there some setting I may have accidentally turned off?
    Also, today, there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes. I doubt these two problems are related, but perhaps there is something beyond coincidence and an old computer?

    but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it.

  • How do I turn off auto split in iPhoto ?

    How do I turn off auto split in iPhoto? I have about 8,000 old photos I would like to import but it splits them in to loads of events. Would just like to leave them in year folders.

    First try, if importing a sample folder with two images with different days, more than a week apart, will import them as only one event on your mac and  the autosplit is behaving the same for you as for me.
    May be I will have to do it folder by folder which will take for ever.
    Would it be possible for you to join some of the folders before importing?
    Or join your events in iPhoto after importing. Creating yearly events is fairly simple (tested in iPhoto 9.5.1)
    Create a smart album for each year (File > New ) with the smart rule "Date is in the range ...."
    Then select all photos in this smart album and use the command from the "events" menu "create event". This will collect all photos in a new yearly event.

  • How do I turn off faces recognition in iphoto

    how do I turn off faces recognition in iphoto?  I mean forever!!

    So by deleting the "Face Profile" or whatever it's called for the individual Faces keeps searching for, you think that's not a solution?
    The actual pictures identified by faces are not deleted. Only the avatar and name you list to be looked for within faces is what you're removing.
    Do you have a better solution? I'm all ears.
