Becasue you have not set your preferences in itunes to open when a device is connected and you have set iphoto to open when a digital camera is connected.

  • Why does iPhoto open when I connect my iPhone and iPad to my iMac?

    Whenever I connect my iPhone or iPad to my iMac, iPhoto opens. This started within the last week or two. Any suggestions? Are there some Preferences I can change to stop this? Thank you.

    Take a look at this article and note the section about disabling iPhoto for certain devices. Maybe that will help.

    I trust that you have totally quit iPhoto and rebooted your Mac?

  • Can I NOT have iPhoto open when I plug in my iPhone?

    Every time I plug my iPhone, iPhoto pops up (turns on). Is there a way NOT to have iPhoto pop up? iTunes obviously comes up too which is fine; just don't want iPhoto coming up.

    Kevin Lee5,
    Yes, you can turn it off. However, first an overview of why it pops up.
    iPhoto pops up and offers to import any pictures taken on the iPhone to the computer when there are pictures taken on the iPhone. These pictures might not be backed up, and gives you an opportunity to import them so that they are on more than just the iPhone. If you initiate a remote wipe, reset all settings and content, or lose your iPhone they could be lost.
    Setting it to pop up will affect all digital cameras, so you will need to open iPhoto manually to import photos from a digital camera in addition to the iPhone.
    In iPhoto 7, you can turn it off in the in the iPhoto preferences. Select "No Application" in the General tab where it says, "Connecting camera opens:"
    Regardless of which version of iPhoto you have installed, the same option appears in the Image Capture preferences as well.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • How do I stop iPhoto from opening when i plug in my iPhone?

    How do I stop Iphoto from opening when I plug in my Iphone?

    Having the preference in iPhoto makes perfect sense to me.  After all, iPhoto is the application that opens.  You would expect that is where you should provide some guidance not to open.
    What puzzles me much more is why you would post this comment more than 18 months after wjosten answered the original question.

  • Itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod

    itunes does not open when I plug in my ipod mini!
    A window opens with the name of my ipod kiwi(E:) & a picture of a disk drive next to it.
    I have to manually open itunes. No error messages pops up, so I can't figure out what's preventing the system from recognizing my ipod. In the system tray in an icon safely remove hardware if I it click my ipod ejects. My ipod still charges as normal.
    Open itunes when this ipod is attached is checked off
    Enable disk use is checked off
    I ran a scan no malware
      Windows XP  

    So you connect the iPod containing a hard drive. I would guess you are using USB, right? Then Windows opens a window (wow, that's repetative) that identifies this as a USB hard drive.
    Am I close?
    It sounds like you've told the iPod to act in Disk Mode. On the same preferences pane that you are telling iTunes to open, uncheck the box for enable disk mode. the mini should stop telling your computer it is a hard drive.

  • ITunes no longer opens when I plug in my iPhone - iPhoto does. Help!

    Don't know what happened - but when I plug in my iPhone to sync - iPhoto opens up - not iTunes.   I went to Help, and changed USB port, restarted computer and iPhone....  iPhoto still opens instead of iTunes.  Device only shows up on iPhoto window, not iTune.  Is there a fix?

    It SHOULD show up in iPhoto if you have photos in your Camera Roll, in addition to opening in iTunes.

  • Why does Mozilla open when I open a Tiff file in Photoshop?

    Ever since I started using Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit, I noticed that every time I double click to open a .TIFF file in Bridge, Firefox opens and puts the image file name in the address bar. Photoshop continues to open also, but why is Firefox opening? I have already changed in the Tools>Options>Applications so that image/tiff files open in PS CS5. So why does Firefox open?

    What's the file association set to for the TIFF extension in the Windows Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types ?

  • When I plug in my iPhone 5 to iTunes it says that I need to have the 64-bit version, Help?

    So when i plug in my iPhone 5 (all fully up to date etc), my itunes says: "This iPhone cannot be used, because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64bit version of iTunes." Now I have always had the 64bit version and still do, i have removed iTunes and installed this 64bit version that im supposedly missing 4 times now and it is still happening. Please help?

    Hello AliHoward,
    You may need to completely remove iTunes, QuickTime, and other Apple software from your system prior to reinstalling. The following articles (one for Windows XP, the other for Windows Vista/7) detail the removal process. I'll also link you to the latest version of iTunes for Windows (64bit specific installer).

  • When i try uploading/attaching a pic why does iphoto open but closes without letting you choose a picture?

    my computer will no longer let me upload any pictures to facebook or attach any pictures through email. everytime i try, iphoto opens but before i get the chance to choose a picture, the iphoto automatically closes and it does that everytime i try.. how can i fix that?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Other than that, what version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later try
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Why does iphoto open automatically when I sync my iphone with my iMac?

    I have an iphone 3GS, Version 6.0.1 that I sync with my iMac 10.6.8.  I have updated iTunes (11.0.1).  When I am syncing my iphone, iphoto automatically opens before iTunes, even though the "photos" setting is deselected.  How do I stop this? 

    Depending on the system if you go to iTunes on an Macintosh ( iTunes >  Preferences > General Preferences > Devices.
    Look for an option to check near the bottom called prevent iPod's, iPhones, iPads from automatically syncing.
    Windows the only difference is Edit > Preferences.

  • Why does subVI open when a VI is run without highlighting execution

    When running the VI Proc Recipe Array without highlighting execution the subVI VPTS Proc Cmnd gets a green arrow over its icon and opens. I want to run the main VI without opening any of the subs. Why does that subVI open? All sub are in the attached LIB file and the test file needed is also attached. You should place the input file in the C:\VPTS\Recipe folder.
    Attachments:
    Vacuum_Pump_subVI.llb ‏949 KB
    test_rcp_011402.txt ‏3 KB

    This is because the SubVI VPTS Proc Cmnd has an option "Suspend when called".
    To cancel this
    1.open the subVI,
    2.click with the right mouse button on the subVI icon in the up-right corner of the window,
    3.select "VI properties...",
    4.choose category - Execution
    5.and uncheck the option "Suspend when called".
    Good luck.
