Turning off auto launch of iPhoto on a Mac


Recommended Posts

Until recently, I was working in OS9.2 on my Mac in PS7 due to

the lack of an OSX driver for my Epson 5500.

 

Last week I saw that the Epson driver was finally available,

downloaded it, and also installed PS CS so I'm only working in

OSX now.

 

But I have a problem in that every time I go to download via the

PCMCIA slot iPhoto launches whether I want it to or not and there

is a long delay before I can copy images to my computer.

 

I've looked in Mac help and iPhoto help in vain to find it how/if this

can be turned off.

 

Anybody out there know how?

 

P.S. - I'm currently running OS 10.2.6.

 

Thanks,

David Haynes

The Image Capture setting only affects directly-connected cameras. If iPhoto still launches

when you put in a memory card via a reader then open the Library folder in your user

folder. Open Preferences and throw out the iPhoto .plist file.

 

This resets the preferences for iPhoto. Next time you launch it it'll ask you if you want

iPhoto launched whenever you attach a camera, and you say no.
