For some reason, when I plug my iPhone into my Mac and Aperture is running, it automatically goes to the import screen. I have application launching disabled in Image Capture, so this only happens when Aperture is already open, but I thought it was a strange behavior. When I connect my digital camera, Aperture doesn't react and I have to manually click import if I want to import something. I would like my iPhone to behave the same way with Aperture. When I plug in my iPhone to sync, 99% of the time, it doesn't meant I want to import photos and its annoying to return my phone to it's cradle and have my photo editing interrupted.

Does anybody know if there is a way to disable this auto import feature in Aperture with the iPhone??
 
This also happens to me and its getting a little annoying so i would appreciate i if anyone can chime in with a fix:).
 
No that's totally unrelated. That stops the application from launching. I've already stopped Aperture from launching when the iPhone is connected. My problem is that aperture opens a special import dialog box each time I plug in the iPhone which interrupts what I am doing. I need to fin d away to stop that from happening, and it only happens when Aperture is already open.
 
I'm running 10.4.11 and am having the same problem. Drives me crazy. Would love to hear about a work-around!

Not sure where the setting is within Aperture, but if you go to Preferences in iPhoto there should be an option for "Connecting camera opens:". See if that is set for Aperture, and if it is, change it.
 
Goto Preferences in Aperture, import > when camera is connected > no application

That did it for me
 
iPhoto Prefs

Easiest I found was to go to iPhoto preferences and you can change it right on the first window to iPhoto, Image Capture, or none. Finally found the freaking thing. I got to a point where I was just yelling: "I [expletive deleted] hate you apeture, go the [expletive deleted] away!!! Then busting out into tears. ;)
