Why is iPhoto automatically opening every time I plug in my phone?

Every time I plug my iPhone into my Macbook it automatically opens up iPhoto whether or not I have new photos to import, which I usually don't. It's really annoying. My husband has the same phone and his doesn't do this. Is there some way to stop it?

he iPhone includes a single Camera Roll where all photos captured by the iPhone are stored. If you save a photo from a received message or from a website, the photo is stored in the Camera Roll.
If there are photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll - even if some of the photos were previously imported by iPhoto but not deleted from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete, iPhoto will launch automatically when your iPhone is connected if you have iPhoto set to do this when any digital camera is connected.
Depending on which iPhoto version you have, iPhoto includes a preference setting for this. If you have an earlier iPhoto version that doesn't include this preference setting, the same is available via Image Capture preferences with the Image Capture application. Connecting camera opens - select No Application.

  • How do I get photoshop elements 11 to stop opening every time I plug in my iPhone on windows 10?

    Please help, it happens every time I plug in my phone and is really annoying. I've looked into the topic online and all I can see is help for the mac and other sites that don't help. Thanks and please get back to me soon.

    This is probably a setting in your operating system.
    I don't have the Windows 10 Preview version but try either searching for Autoplay or go to
    Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Autoplay
    The phone is probably being treated as a camera and so set the default action accordingly.

  • How do I stop iphoto from opening every time I connect my iphone to my computer?

    I don't really want to sync my iphone with my iphoto. Whenever I plug my phone into my computer, iphoto automatically opens and asks if I want to sync. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
    Thanks!

    The RIGHT way is to copy photos from your phone to iPhoto and delete them from the Camera Roll. If you still want them on the iPhone add them back to the photo album app. The Camera Roll is a bad place to leave photos that are important, and a silly place to leave photos that are not. It is intended as temporary storage, jost like any digital camera.
    iPhone will not open if the camera roll is empty.

  • IPod_Contoller Opens every time I plug in my Shuffle

    After installing the latest updater, every time I plug in my Shuffle, the iPod Control folder opens in a Windows Explorer screen. Doesn't interfere with updating, but a pain. Appreciate any suggestions.

    Your LaCie is formated as FAT 32 and that looks like a camera card to the Mac so iPhoto opens - set iPhoto preference to do nothing when a camera is connected

  • Why does iTunes shut down every time I plug in my iPod nano?

    For the last few months every time I plug my iPod into my mac iTunes automatically shuts down and an error message shows up. I have an iPhone and this problem doesn't happen when I plug it in. I have already taken my iPod to the apple store to see if they can fix it and they restored it but, when I took it home and plugged it in nothing has changed, iTunes still suddenly quits. I am running out of ideas on what the problem could be.

    If the Apple Store Genius Bar was able to connect your iPod to a Mac and run a Restore, iTunes did not unexpectedly quit, so there is probably nothing wrong with the iPod.
    Since you can connect an iPhone to your Mac and there is no problem, there is probably no hardware problem on the Mac.
    That leave the iTunes installation.  So, I would download the latest stand-alone iTunes installer and install iTunes again.  If you use 10.5.8 (as it says in your profile), you should be able to use the latest version available here
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you are not using the latest version of iTunes already, please post back with the version you are using (and the reason you are using an older version).

  • Why does my computer restart every time I plug in my ipod?

    I got my ipod touch a few weeks ago, and for the last two weeks, every time I plug it in, my computer restarts. It continues to restart every time it reaches the XP loading bit (where the bars travel across the screen, I don't know the technical name). I put the computer into safe mode and it doesn't restart, but my ipod isnt recognised on itunes so I can't sync it.
    Does anyone have this problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance

    I've got a first gen. Ipod touch and I had a problem with my computer and had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall windows! since then when I plug in my touch it restarts my computer.
    I'm looking on the forum for a solution before I try anything but to me it looks like we have a similar problem.
    The only things different on my system since the last time it worked properly are I updated/reinstalled itunes yesterday and I installed NORTON 360 about a week ago so I think it must have something to do with them!
    what browser do you use? I'm using firefox.
    If you find a solution can you post an update and I'll do the same,thanks.

  • Every time i plug in my phone, iTunes creates  a new library

  • HT1349 why would my itunes open every time i turn computer on

    why would my itunes software open automaticaly evey time i turn my computer on

    You could go into MSconfig, and see if its set to start with the machine.
    Normally by default iTunes will open when you plug in your device...there is an option to have it not open when a device is connected..but there is not an option to have it start with the computer that I am aware of.

  • Why do new tabs open every time i click on something?

    Recently within the past couple of weeks I have noticed that when I click on a link or attempt to go to a new page, a new page is opened asking me to update my browser or some kind of junk. They seem to me like pop-ups. How do i get these to stop?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Ipod automatically disconnects every time I plug it in

    Help!

    When this happened to me, I was using a mains-powered USB hub that I forgot to turn on. Even when the hub was already drawing power from the pc via its USB connection to the PC, it was insufficient and needed to be plugged into the mains power supply. And, I had to disconnect all other USB devices (except mouse/keyboard).

  • How do you stop iPhoto from loading every time you dock the iPhone?

    I would like to NOT have iPhoto start up every time I plug in my iPhone. I am sure there must be an easy way to do this. Thanks!

    There are two different topics in this thread, and two separate "sync photo" issues with iPhone.
    1) Syncing photos to iPhone, similar to the process if you had an iPod. This is handled as mentioned above, from within iTunes.
    2) Syncing photos from iPhone, as with any camera. This is handled from within iPhoto, also as mentioned above.
    I just wanted to point out that these are two independent processes, able to be modified separately.
    If you have cleared out the iPhone and/or not taken any more pictures, it will not cause iPhoto to pop up.
