How to stop iPhoto from opening when i connect my ipad?

follow this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1501

Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7

To disable this notification:

1. Connect the iOS device.
2. Open Image Capture (located in Applications).
3. Select your device from the Devices list.
4. Click the Show Device Settings button () in the lower left corner if Device Settings are not visible.
5. Select "No Application" in the pop-up menu in the Device Settings.

Thanks! just checking in to report that this works in Mac OS X 10.10 also.

Thank you so much for answering that, this issue has been an annoying pain as a developer.

I'm a long term mac user and I've never opened Image Capture. How is this even intuitive at all to the user? It's sh*t useability to auto launch an app without giving the user a logical path to changing or removing the action. In iTunes it's a hardware specific preference that's easy to access. Why doesn't iPhoto follow the same flow?

Sounds like two tech departments not working together.

Thank you! I NEVER would have figured that out, and I feel that I am a pretty savvy Apple user!
