Stop image capture from starting up when iPad connected

Also worke for me with OS X Mavericks. Thanks!

In the bottom left corner of the image capture application there is a little boxwith an arrow, click it and set it to no apllication for your device. This method saves you from opening iphoto especially if you don't have iphoto installed.

Is there a way to stop Image Capture from opening for ANY device. I want a way to stop it without having to do it for each device I plug in and I don't have iPhoto.

I don't have iPhoto, and as others described the dropdown in Image Capture will not stay on No Application--it immediately bounces back to Image Capture. This sort of thing (in conjunction with the recent extreme slowness of the Finder) makes me disinclined to buy another Apple product.

Is there a different workaround to make Image Capture never start unless I want it to?

I don't have iPhoto either, and Image Capture keeps setting Aperture as default when I plug my iPhone, no matter how many times I've set it to No Aplication. I have repaired all files permissions with Disk Utility, made "sudo periodic daily, monthly, weekly" in Terminal, erased Image Capture preference .plist and no luck. If I restart the system, or even un-plug and plug my iPhone again, Image Capture insist in setting Aperture back. 😕 😠

This bug started occurring after upgrading to latest OS X on Monday. The steps outlined in Shamelessjames' post worked when I substituted "camera" with "iPhone" in the instructions!

Thanks!

When image capture turns on, follow these steps:

1) Go to "Devices" and make sure your device is in "Show" mode.

2) Select your device under the tab devices so that your photos appear.

3) At the bottom of that same column, you'll see that icon appear in the bottom left corner:

4) Click that icon and a small box will open:

5) Change this setting to "No Application"

6) You're good to go!

Thanks Ggash! This worked. The other solution required having iPhoto installed (something I do not have). This worked perfectly!

Unfortunately this fix doesn't work with some devices like older iPodTouches and digital cameras like the Casio I have. Image Capture launches but then shows Zero (0) devices listed and no button to click. Works fine with newer iPodTouches but not with older ones. So I'm still looking for a solution to stop Image Capture from launching.

The option for me was hidden at first in Image Capture.

Found it finally and turned it off. Hope this helps.

On a Mac.. when you plug in your iPad or iPhone and image capture comes up..

on the Bottom Leftthere is a square with an arrow down [ \/ ]

click that and change it to Image Importer !!

Image import pops up.. transfers in a few seconds and ~ Vanishes ~

Do this for Each of your iPad(s) & iPhone(s)
