Why does iPhoto start up when iPod touch is connected to iMac to charge?

When I connect my new iPod Touch to my iMac to charge, iPhoto pops up.
Can I turn this off somewhere? I tried finding something in the iPhoto preferences but couldn't find anything.
Thanks so much.

iPhoto opens because your have some screen shots or saved images in your "Saved Photos" library.
You can import them into iPhoto and then let iPhoto delete them from your iPod, then you can sync them back to your Photo library. You can also tap the photo on your iPod and then tap the trash can at the bottom right to delete them. If there are no "Saved Photos", iPhoto won't open.
To turn off iPhoto opening, go to iPhoto preferences -> General and select Connecting Camera opens "No Application" at the bottom of the preferences window.

    It will if I put it in on my desktop though.
    Please help,

    Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

  • Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

    Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

    I know you are not apple though I believe I still have apoint. As you can see the release date for these two iPod touches is differentby about a year. My iPod was sold as an apple iPod touch 8 GB third generation,and as I can see from this page and many others have experienced this. I wouldcomplain to apple though there seems to be no actual way to do this withouthaving to fork out for additional support, which is unacceptable also my iPodwas bought form a reliable UK retailer. It is not just the seller who names itas a 3rd generation I have also included a print screen of a trade in offerfrom a large phone shop site:

    Is it on your Log-In items?
    Do you have a disk or device formatted like a camera card attched to your computer - say with a FAT format?

  • ITunes crashing (only when iPod Touch is connected)

    It just started last night. Anytime I try to add music to the library or choose the folder to sync photos from, basically anytime iTunes has to access explorer to browse folder, it crashes and it doesn't give me any sort of error. It just tells me it has crashed and is reporting the problem. Like I said though, this only happens when the iPod Touch is connected. If I unplug it and then add music, it works fine but without it plugged in I can't add photos. Also, if I already have iTunes open and then connect the iPod, it crashes. I have to have the iPod already connected and then I can open iTunes.
    Any ideas? I switched to using iTunes as my default player because WMP had too many issues. I don't want to have to go back.
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
    iPod: 32GB iPod Touch 3rd generation on latest official firmware

    More info: iTunes generates a standard WinXP Send Error Report/Don't Send error message.
    The Error Signature is:
    AppName: itunes.exe
    AppVer: 8.0.2.20
    ModName: quicktime.qts
    ModVer: 7.55.90.70
    Offset: 009fd1a7
    I tried on another PC. Same crash. It seems either the problem is on the iPod Touch side, or some more general problem with iTunes.

  • Why can't I get my iPod touch to connect with my wifi?

    I am unable to get my iPod touch to connect to my wifi even though I've verified the password is correct.   Can anyone help?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why does iPhoto start when I attach iPod Touch

  • Why does my music on my ipod touch 5th generation get deleted when I connect it to iTunes on my computer?

    Why does my music keep getting deleted on my ipod touch Everytime I connect it to iTunes on my computer? I've Uninstaller and reinstalled itunes. I've reset my ipod to factory setting and I keep getting this message " The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54)" this also happens with my ipod 4th generation too. Everytime I go to put new music on it all my old music gets deleted :-/

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
    To make this your syncing computer:

  • When i open iPhoto, it shows my iPod touch is connected even though it's not.

    When I open iPhoto, it shows that my iPod touch 4th generation is connected under the devices tab even though it is not.  Here is a screen shot of what it looks like.
    Then when I plug in my iPod, iPhoto still will not open, i still get the same screen image when i manually open it and it will not show me anything that is on the iPod.  I have tried unmounting it in the device tab and restarting iPhoto.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    well, kiss my grits!!  i feel like i am running a pc today.  after making this post i shutdown all my apps and then did a restart, and low and behold when i plugged in my ipod, iphoto opened and it recognized the photos.  go figure all it needed was a restart.

  • ITunes does not start automatically when iPod is connected

    iTunes used to start automatically when I connected iTunes. It no longer does. Can I fix that?
    Dave

    Connect your iPod and open iTunes. Towards the bottom of the iPod screen, there are four check boxes. The top one says "Open iTunes when iPod is connected." Check that box and click apply. If it is checked, uncheck it and click apply, eject and reconnect your iPod, then recheck it and click apply.

  • ITunes does not open when iPod Touch is connected

    Prior to iTunes 9, I could connect my first-gen iPod Touch and iTunes would open automatically. It does not do that anymore.
    Is there anyway to fix this?
    Thanks,
    vidg

    deggie: Thanks, re-installing iTunes worked. There must have been a problem with the mobile devise part of the program. Funny - re-installing is the remedy of choice. I must be getting old. Anyway thanks.

  • Why does the battery on my ipod touch drain so fast?

    I barely have an hour of battery life using my ipod touch.  I will only be listening to music and all of a sudden there is no battery left.  What can I do to fix this?

    Make sure things like wi-fi, bluetooth, and location services are turned off. Also, if you listen with the screen on, battery drains faster, so you should always sleep the iPod when using it for music.
    Hope this helps!

  • If my printer is not connected to my computer, why does it start up when my computer starts up?

    I disconnected my printer (a Brother inkjet) from my computer last night as it was continually starting up and running thru it's cleaning process each time as my computer woke up, even tho I had turned the printer off. This morning the printer is still not connected to the mac, but it started up when the computer did. And this happened with the previous printer, which was an HP. Is there a setting on the Mac that I can set to not wake up the printer each time I use the computer? There are days when my computer is on, goes to sleep, wakes up, etc, and the printer is not needed, so I'd rather just have the printer stay off.
    Of course, the obvious solution would be to unplug the printer each time, but since that involves crawling around under the desk, it's not a preferable solution.
    Any thoughts on this one?

    Is the computer system software up to date?
    What about the printer driver version?
    If the printer is wireless capable, and has a
    sleep or low-power mode, it may stand-by
    or not really be 'off' so read a manual to see
    what the printer can do, & be sure the OS X
    is correct, along with maker's driver version.
    The printer may be seen as a bonjour printer
    or other, if it has an built-in antenna. I've not
    heard of a printer causing a Mac to wakeup
    in a manner of occurrence, as you've stated.
    I've had dozens of Macs & several brands of
    printers, w-fi capable or not. None ever did that.
    If you have a PowerPC Mac running Tiger 10.4.9
    or an Intel-based Mac, consider later software
    and any later driver updates for the printer(s.)
    Good luck
