Antonis Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 How do you guys deal with this or how do I turn it off? I looked in the preferences of the app but no such option there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamoui Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 There should be a little box that says something like "automatically open Photos for this device" near the top left of the main window that opens. Just un-check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonis Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 That doesn't work after I have formatted the card in camera. Which I do every after time I have offloaded the files. So basically the mac sees it as a "new" card whenever I stick it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the only way Photos won't recognize it as a new/different card every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Mayer Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I have it off, but always get a popup saying something like "can't add photos to app". Would love to get that removed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chris Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I have an external card reader that I plug into the keyboard, that message doesn't come up for me. I always reformat in cam. Running El Cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Annoying, isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX1user Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Man do I hate this. Every time you reformat the card, iPhoto forgets and opens itself again. There has to be a hack somewhere to turn this off, but I can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonis Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Super annoying! But it seams that I found a fix: You just need to open Terminal and paste the following line: defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug -bool YES To reverse it back to normal just paste: defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug -bool NO Source: http://petapixel.com/2015/12/21/stop-apple-photos-from-auto-launching-in-os-x-with-one-command/ dahlfors, Mat Mayer and John Matthews 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonis Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Make sure to copy the "-bool YES" line to DISABLE the automatic app opening. I did it the other way around the first time and that indeed doesn't work... :p Mat Mayer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Anastasi Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Created by Ben Balser / Published by CoreMelt Every time you stick a camera card into a card reader, the Photos app will auto-launch asking to import it. That can be a royal PITA, and Apple has not provided a way to turn that off. And each time that card gets erased, recorded to, and put back into the card reader, Photos thinks it is a brand new card it has never seen. This simple App allows you to disable and re-enable Photos automatically launching when an SD card or other type of image media is mounted. https://fcpxfree.com/products/card-response-annoyance-prompt your welcome guys.
