Controlling the Camera Connection
Normally, when you connect a camera (or an iOS device with a camera), your Mac plops you into iPhoto. You might prefer that it didn’t—it can be annoying when you’re simply syncing your iPhone, for example.
To control what happens when you connect a camera to your Mac, choose iPhoto > Preferences. Click the General button, and in the Connecting Camera Opens pop-up menu, choose No Application.
