How to stop Aperture starting up when iPhone is plugged in?

Hi all,
silly question... but Aperture keeps opening whenever my iPhone is plugged in. Does anyone know how to stop this? Not a big deal... but its getting annoying!
Thanks in advance!

You would need to change the setting in Aperture at Preferences/Importing to No Application when a camera is plugged in. Any device that is recognized as a camera will other wise launch the selected application in that preference.

And, if you want Aperture to launch when you connect your camera, but not when you connect your iPhone, open Image Capture when your iPhone is connected, highlight your iPhone in the sidebar, and select the No Application option in the lower left-hand corner where it says "connecting this iPhone opens"

You can have different options for each device.

Good to know -- thought I had read of a snafu with that approach? I will test it with my camcorder sometime.
