Why does iPhoto open whenever I turn on my Kodak printer?

I asked this question once before, but have misplaced the answer. Whenever I turn on my printer iPhoto opens ready to import photos. I remember the reason this happens had something to do with photos on my iPod Touch, but cannot recall the details. Will someone please enlighten me once again as to how I go about correcting this?

Okay, I get this whenever I connect my iPod touch to the iMac everytime aswell so don't feel out of line, iPhoto is set to open whenever you connect a Camera, iPod, Recorder or any other kind of device that takes down images/films so that you can upload it to iPhoto and stream it to your friends.
If you don't want this to happen, just check out Preferences and there should be a selection to cancel this 'auto-open'. Hope I've given you a little step closer to the answer. Otherwise please reply to this hasty response.

  • Why does iphoto open every time i connect my kodak playsport camcorder?

    Please help every time i connect my kodak playsport camcorder to imovie it opens iphoto and i really dont know how to just upload my video into imovie please help .thanks

    The longer question though, which I placed on another thread in another forum, was why has the system stopped working as it used to? I have an iMac running OS10.4 and iLife 08, and a PowerBookPro running OS10.6 and iLife 09 and on both of them I have connected up the camera in the past and edited using iMovie without any problem. What's changed that now means `I have to faff around using another program when I have always been able, before, to capture straight from the camera?
    In specific response to your reply, my video files, when I do a straight transfer from the camera onto the desk top, show up as .mod and .moi files, not MPEG2. But they won't then open in iMovie.

    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.

  • 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 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?

  • 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 iPhoto always open/appear at launch?

    Why does iPhoto always open/appear at launch? Someone used my computer under another account, and now my preferences seem to be changed. How do I fix it so iPhoto must me opened manually?

    Some possibilities: 
    Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
    Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
    Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.

  • Why does iphoto 11 tell me to update library every time i open it?

    why does iphoto 11 tell me to update library every time i open it?
    iPhoto '11 OSX 10.8.5
    I open iphoto and I get the message
    "the Photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto"
    I click upgrade and after a few seconds the photos show fine, the application works correctly.
    then I quit the app. and reopen and i get the same message and the same results.
    this was happening before I did a complete erase of the Macbook Pro and install of Mt Lion
    upgraded from lion.
    only thing thats the same is the computer and the library I restored.

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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 stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

    Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

    Because you are saving it to the desktop, Pages documents are actually zipped files and Stuffit is set to uncompress desktop files.
    Either don't save to the desktop (bad practice) or check the preferences in Stuffit to see if you can turn off unstuff files on desktop.

  • Why does iphoto delete placeholder text?

    why does iphoto delete placeholder text when I try to send photo in email?

    When I downloaded photos from a camera SD card using an adapter, I noticed two Albums were created in the Photo app.(Last Import & All Import). Like you stated, there is no option to delete excess photos without deleting all of them. So this is the lengthy steps I went through to delet the extra album (I hope someone comes up with a shorter process):
    1) Connect iPad into your PC (Make sure you configured to Sync with iTunes)
    2) Go to My Computer > right click and open Apple iPad > right click and open  Internal Storage > right click and  open DCIM. (This will show the photos from those to Albums only)
    3) Right click on a empty space on the desktop
    4) Click on New > Folder
    5) Go back to the DCIM files and right click on each file(one at a time) then copy and paste each file over the New Folder.
    6) Go back to the DCIM files and open each folder and right click and delete each photo.
    You will notice that all the same photos are being deleted on the Photo app simultaneously.
    7) Then drag the New Folder into you Pictures on the PC.
    8)Then open iTunes on your PC and click on the Photo tab and click Sync on the bottom right to import those photos back to your iPad.
    I hope my scenario can apply to you.

  • Why does iphoto complete lockup my computer ? Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with iPhoto 9.2.3

    Why does IPhoto completely lock up my Intel Core Duo ?  IPhoto seems to work OK until I try to edit a phot, then get visual artifacts on the screen and computer is completely locked up after 8 hours.
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with IPhoto 9.2.3.

    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) make a new Library, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there.

  • Why does iPhoto 9.5.1 not export slideshows?

    Why does iPhoto 9.5.1 stall when I try to export a slideshow, using OS 10.9.3? All steps have been completed, and the preview works fine, but the system hangs up at the "Exporting Slideshow" progress window. The bar never fills. Nada!

    Does this only happen for one particular slideshow? Test by creating another, short slideshow using different photos. Can you export this test slideshow? If yes, then probably one of your photos cannot be processed. Duplicate your slideshow and try to find the problematic photo by removing photos from the slideshow and trying again.
    If you cannot export any slide at all, create a new iPhoto library for testing. Use iPhoto's "File" menu to create a new library: File > Switch to library > Other/New. Import a few photos and try to export a Slideshow.  If exporting from a new library works, try to repair or rebuild your regular iPhoto library.
    You rebuild the library by launching either  iPhoto while holding down the key combination⌥⌘  (option-command)  and double-clicking  the iPhoto icon. Keep holding down the keys, until you are seeing the Library First Aid panel.  Select to "Repair"  the database.
    If that does not suffice, try "Rebuild".
    Back up your library before rebuilding.

  • Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

    Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
    Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
    I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
    It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
    Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?
