Did a quick search...sounds like Image Capture is trying to download the photos off your iPhone? Is this right?

Sounds like what it's doing is thinking it's a digital camera, so it needs to sync your new photos somehow w/ the Mini. I read on another forum, you can change your image downloading preferences by doing this:

Actually, it's kind of convoluted.
You have to open Image Capture, which is located in your Applications folder.
Go to Preferences and set what you want to have happen when you connect a camera.
