How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

image capture has no option to turn it off under 10.10 like it did under 10.9. I can only select where to store things, and not iPhoto, if I recall

In 10.10 things will change. iPhoto will no longer come preinstalled with a new Mac, and the Photos.app has not yet been released, so there is nothing to be selected currently in MacOS X 10.10., other than a folder on the Desktop. We will probably see changes in the near future.

Image Capture in 10.10:

Please, what does your screenshot show, TD?

I am only seeing the question mark in Safari and Firefox.

It's a grab of Image Capture showing that you can choose to open No Application and that you can choose to import to iPhoto or Aperture. Essentially, correcting the misinformation in Cerniuk's post, above.

Thanks, TD. 🙂

In 10.10 the tiny arrow that opens the pane with the "connecting ..." opens is barely visible. And it is missing completely, if no device is connected.

Yes it only shows when a device is connected. Wasn't it always that way?

I don't remember, because I rarely use it. For me Aperture's "When a camera is connected, open ..." is more convenient.

OMG, there must have been a tiny control icon contest. Thanks! Still, should habe worked from iTunes and frankly, should be a camera system pref instead of hunting and pecking for a system setting in multiple apps ;-)

but thanks again! Completely did not see that. Time to "adjust" for all my devices. would be good to have a default in the setting ;-)

Well that's not broken here.

What setting have you chosen in Image Capture?

I want to stop iPhoto opening when I connect my iPhone and have been following the discussion here. I've been able to do this using ImageCapture as suggested. However I understood that the way of stopping iPhoto opening when anything was connected was just to change the "Connecting camera opens" setting in iPhoto to which Cerniuk refers. However as he says this doesn't work in 10.10 so seems to be a bug.

And this is the workaround. If you want to report a bug

iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

Have now done so, thanks.

when I navigate to the device on top left of Image Capture, my mac only displays my iphone....but not my mac. It is my Mac I am trying to not have IPhoto pop up every time I use my Mac. What's worse is I was at an Apple Genius Bar yesterday to have the assistant address this problem and was assured it was fixed, however, the problem was still present when I got home.

Are you saying that iPhoto opens every time you start your Mac? Regardless of whether your camera or phone is connected?

correct

then in the system preferences ==> users ==> startup item remove iPhoto or right click on the iphoto icon int he dock and under options uncheck open at login
