How to stop iPhoto from launching when a camera card is inserted into your Mac
Disclosure: I hate iPhoto like the plague. It isn’t that I just have no need for it but it tends to grab your photos and hide them where you can’t find them and, every time I put a camera card into my Mac it used to insist on grabbing the photos from it.
Now I use Lightroom so I have reason to want iPhoto to do anything at all with my photos. So to save having to close it down each time I put a camera card into the Mac, I stopped it from launching at all. If you’d like to do the same thing, here’s how to put iPhoto in its place:
1. Launch iPhoto
2. Choose iPhoto > Preferences > General
3. From the Connecting Camera Opens dropdown list choose No Application
4. Click the dialog’s Close button
5. Exit iPhoto
