Is there anyway to keep iPhoto from starting up every time I connect my iPhone? It's really annoying. :(

Thanks.

no, not a bug... just a bit of an annoyance. it's os x's system preference to open iPhoto when a camera is plugged in. unfortunately you can't choose what to open or not open for a specific camera.

that said, to turn this off for all cameras, open Image Capture, and go into it's preferences. there's a drop down box for what you want done when a camera is connected.

Yes. Open Image Capture.app -> Preferences. It is then obvious what to do.

Yes, launch the Image Capture application and it the Preferences select "No Application" for "When a camera is connected, open:". This does mean that when you actually want to download photos you'll have to manually launch iPhoto. It's a weird place to put that preference if you ask me, it should be in iPhoto or iTunes, but anyway...
