Turning off auto launch of iphoto

[rockinrocker]

is there some way to keep this from happening every time i connect my phone?
photos aren't set to sync, and i looked for a preference in iphoto that said anything like "auto launch when connecting camera" and couldn't find anything.

any ideas?

It's in System Preferences, isn't it?

I think this will help

Open iPhoto and go to preferences. In the General tab, go to the bottom where it says, "connecting camera opens" and choose "no application" from the dropdown. It works for me.

I hope this helps.

i don't think it is an option in system prefs
but there is this great app called default apps, its a system prefs pane
download it http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/
and then after you install just go into it, go to media tab, select camera and change the setting to ignore

der, i can't believe i missed that.

thanks for the help.

Sorry folks, I was thinking of a Picture CD (in CDs & DVDs) PrefPane.

Clearly wasn't on my Mac at the time.

Ferret's way is correct, just go to the preferences box in iPhoto and tell it to do nothing when a camera is connected, no applications to download or anything, a really simple fix.

So once you do this, how does the iPhone download new photos if there are some?

Just open iPhoto and import.

That stops iPhoto from auto-launching. It doesn't stop it from working if you want to use it.

yeah, you just have to manually launch iphoto and import photos after that. works great since i don't really want to have iphoto launch every time i plug in my phone.

If you're happy to fiddle about with AppleScript, here's some instructions for ensuring that iPhoto only opens for a specific digital camera and ignores your iPhone.
