Stop iPhoto from launching while syncing iPhone

  • Connect your iPhone and let it sync.
  • Before you disconnect, run the "Image Capture" utility. It lives in your computer's "Applications" directory.
  • Go to the menu, click "Image Capture", then "Preferences".
  • On the "Image Capture Preferences" window, change the "When a camera is connected, open:" setting to "No application".
  • Close the "Image Capture" application.
  • Voila! No more iPhoto launching automatically.

However, be aware that this will stop iPhoto from launching when you connect any digital camera. If you want to pull photos from a camera, you'll have to manually launch iPhoto and hit the "import" button. Snatch!
