iPhoto Starts when connecting iPad; not iTunes

Hi Folks,

I've checked the settings in iTunes under "Summary/Options" in iTunes and the option is checked to start iTunes when the iPad is connected.

However, when ever I connect my iPad to my iMac, iPhoto starts automagically instead.... I have manually start iTunes and even then it takes several seconds for iTunes to recognise that I've connected the iPad.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

It is normal for iPhoto to start when your iPad is connected. For me both iTunes and iPhoto open. The recommendations in the following may help with the iTunes problem.

Hi lllaass,

With me, both iTunes & iPhoto ALWAYS opens when I hot synch iPa to MacBook Pro.
But I don't need iPhoto to open and sync. Just iTunes. Why would iPhoto open too?

Ahaa! I do have the "desktop" image in iPad to come from iPhoto, but I never change it.

Is there a way to set things so iPhoto doesn't open upon synching? Just iTunes I need!

Thanks,
Larry

iPhoto opening automatically was annoying me, too, but I found a solution in this iPad discussion group. I don't know how to insert a link, but here is the address, the answer being the last posting.

The solution has something to do with "ImageCapture", so you could search in this discussion group for that if the address above doesn't work. Or, search "iPhoto", and the answer is in a posting from November 17, 2010.
