Prevent iPhone from Opening iPhoto
Are you a Mac user? I own an iMac and really love it.
But one thing I dislike is every time I connect my iPhone to the Mac, it automatically opens iPhoto and assume I need it to download photo from iPhone.
That’s really annoying. Like me, you probably experience the same issue on Mac platform. So,
How can you prevent iPhone from opening iPhoto automatically?
To disable the auto-launch of iPhoto, you can simply disable it in iPhoto’s preference. And, here are the procedures.
1. Launch iPhoto
2. In menu bar of iPhoto, select “Preferences…”
3. Select the “General” table in Preferences dialog
4. By default, the “Connecting camera opens:” option is set to “iPhoto”. That’s why it’s launched automatically when you connect the
iPhone to your Mac. You can set this option to “No Application” to disable iPhoto from launching automatically.
5. That’s it. You can now close the Preferences dialog and iPhoto.
Next time when you connect the iPhone to your Mac, iPhoto will not be opened automatically.
Hey, great post, really well written. You should write more about this.
Interesting take on this issue. I for one have seen many twists on this and can often spot the holes in the arguement however, on this occasion I belelive your writing is such that everyone should be in agreement with this. Thank you for sharing it with us.
