Can I please turn off Photos?

Until very recently, I used a PC for my photos, but when I got lucky that I bought an opportunity 27 "iMac, as many people see this platform as the bee knees when it comes to media. (It runs El Capitan).

I used Lightroom since it was called Pixmantec Rawshooter, pre version 1 and love it - lately I added to it remains creative Cloud applications. I have over 50 K images in different catalogs in LR - and I draw quite frequently, using the SD card on the iMac drive to read the cards.

Which brings me to my question. Having to close the Photos is annoying, but something I could live with if it wasn't for his tendency to eject the card and the flag, the map also read makes it inaccessible, even if I remove and reinsert. I googled some tips, like remove the check mark in the upper left corner, that work until I have format maps (what I'm doing after each shot). At this point, I have to get out of my old laptop Windows and a USB hard drive, copy the images of cards on this and fix the hard drive of my iMac to import photos into Lightroom.

Many people have a lot of arguments for the use of Photos and iCloud to store and synchronize between all devices and so on — and they are more than welcome to do so, , BUT I would like TO HAVE THE CHOICE! (I'm sorry for the cry, but I just spent the better part of an hour to perform the procedure above).

Is it possible to uninstall or disable the Photos app that runs constantly? Windows 8 and later has implemented an application of pictures that is almost as annoying, but it can be bypassed by choosing another default app for the pictures look a/edititng. I guess I could go back to Windows, but there are other aspects of the Mac, I like.

Thanks in advance

Which brings me to my question. Having to close the Photos is annoying, but something I could live with if it wasn't for his tendency to eject the card and the flag, the map also read makes it inaccessible, even if I remove and reinsert.

To avoid this, don't quit Photos opening - simply click on the yellow "minimize" button in the traffic light in the toolbar to close the window.  The window will be minimized and out of the way, but not to eject the card.

There is no real help at present.

Join us by sending your feedback to Apple with a feature request to change this annoying feature.

Right now you can only try to disable the autolaunch of any application altogether. But it does not always work and any update could break.

This Terminal command to disable auto-start for any photo application, not just Photos. If Lightroom will not launch either.

  • Photos of quit smoking and unplug any camera.
  • Open a Terminal and paste this command and press return:

defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES

  • Restart the Mac. It is not necessary, but it worked for me after the reboot.

I found this fix in a post of JadedEye ( leonie)

  • All lights on screen Flash - Message - Please turn off the printer and turn it back on

    I'm fighting a problem for a few weeks now with all the lights on the display starts flashing and the message please turn off the printer and turn it back on.   HP sent me a new printer that does the same thing.  The printer is an Officejet Pro 8600.  My computer is Windows 7.  I use a Belkin 750 db wireless router.  I talked to the service the customer several times with no results.  Did a hard reset of the printer, change the SSID of the router, because I think that one of my neighbors has the same router.  The thing most effective I did was change the channel to 6 which will operate for several hours until the display starts to Flash again.  Channels 1 & 11 starts blinking after a few minutes.  I know there are other people who have had the same problem.  I'm about to throw the thing in the trash.  My last printer brand X was set up the same way with no problems.  On the network, there are 2 iPads, smart TV, and an iPhone.  Need help please!

    Ethernet cable and connection with correction of the problem.  Its been 2 days and the printer worked perfectly.  Please pass this solution on your technical telephone support staff because I know that there are others with the same question.  Thanks for your help.

  • Why can't I turn off my touchpad dell? I've tried everything!

    It isn't even a touchpad icon in Control Panel to disable this 'thing'!  And in 'mouse', he is not a touchpad to even click on disable.  What can I do?
    I was told that I don't have this feature, but I managed to activate the touchpad and turns off when I got to my computer in August.

    Hello

    Orders of hardware and software of the TouchPad are dependants ot system OEM manufacturer.
    who is also responsible for the proper functioning of Windows.

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
    and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    It is possible that Dell may have changed the functions of control on some models so he better check directly with
    Dell and Forums support.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can S2340T, I turn off the touch function?

    I am running the S2340T monitor on a Windows Pro 8.1 System.  Touch calibration occasionally goes haywire, but I've always been able to open the tool pen and Touch and recalibrate.  Except that now, it doesn't seem to be "holding".

    As I rarely use the tactile aspect of the screen and am completely comfortable with my trackball mouse, I would just turn the tactile aspect * off *.

    How can I do this?  I know that you go to the Device Manager, but how to know what 'Human Interface' element it is?  I'm a gamer, so I have a * lot * of human interface elements.

    Thank you!

    Disconnect the monitor cable computer USB upstream will turn off the monitor to "touch" feature This means that you will not be able to use one of the USB ports monitor downstream.

  • Why can't I turn off notifications?

    All I'm trying to do is to find how to disable notifications from a forum in your communities.  I used the link 'disable notifications' before, but your system ignored, because every day I get dozens of unwanted emails on your part (VMPlayer forum).

    Today, I read your help page, which clearly says that I should see a link to turn off notifications in the 'Actions' menu to the right when I'm in a community and it very clearly isn't here.  The only link of "notifications" in this box is for the RSS FEED.

    I don't see an easy way to send anyone who can do something, so I'm reduced to begging you through this forum.

    ADDENDUM: I found a thread in which I participated.  The area Actions to the right shows "Receive notifications by e-mail -" NOT "email notifications to stop" which probably means that I stopped it.  Yet I always get dozens of emails per day of all THE TYPES of threads, all with

  • Gapless playback, can it be turned off?

    Hello

    I found in my search for a good and cheap player, the Sansa Clip +. I want to use it at an art installation for the reading of music with inbetween long 'spaces' of silence. Here's the silent white - WAV or MP3's from several minutes up to an hour. My fear is that the gapless playback feature will refuse to play these silent sounds files.

    Can someone tell me please weather this gapless playback can be disabled?

    Thanks in advance for your attention

    It will not. As long as they are valid .wav or .mp3 files the player will play, even if they are silent.

  • Turn off Photos launch when connecting iPhone

  • How can I temporarily turn off the FN key?

    I use Word Perfect as a processor in my legal writing and in my writing novel.  I like to use the F keys as they are designated in WordPerfect, which is the button F3 for recording, press F4 to open the F5 key for printing etc..  I'm a very fast typist and I hate change!  I myself have disconnected from the internet tries to use the F keys!  Is there a way to temporarily disable function keys so that I can use in my other applications?  I may need to contact Corel for how to do this?  The word of the wise would be appreciated!

    In fact, you will need to contact the company who made the computer.  The 'Fn' key is in fact at the level of the material - Microsoft Windows and Corel cannot detect even if you press on it actually.  You can try it out sometimes - if your screen saver is running, pressing Fn do not disable screen saver.

    The reason for this is that it is a material modifier key.  Only the processor under keyboard actually 'hears' when this button is pressed.

    Now usually, there is a way to "Locking function", so that it does not need to be pressed to use the normal F keys.  These are sometimes classified by color, could have a symbol or could really be labeled "Fn Lock".  But each company who built computers need different, so I can't tell you absolutely.

    On the Microsoft computer hardware (tablets of Surface and keyboards), you can Fn-Lock by pressing Fn + CapsLock together.

    I know this doesn't directly what you're trying to do, but I hope that it gives you the information you need.  Remember, you may need to contact some company built the computer to find out if they have a way to lock or unlock the Fn key.

  • Is there a Windows API that I can use to turn off the touch screen of WIndows 8?

    It makes sense for a Tablet have a touchscreen. A valve system, I would like to live without a touchscreen.

    I would like to disable the touchscreen disabled if a machine is not in tablet mode. However, I can't find any API to do it on Windows 8. in Windows Mobile, there are APIs such as DisableTouch and EnableTouch. I wish I had such somethings on Windows 8 Pro. When the touch screen is disabled, the OS will never be aware of activity on the touch screen.

    Is anyway to do this?

    Thank you

    Youssef

    Hello

    It seems that you want to disable the touch screen on a Tablet using the C++ programming language. I suggest that you post your question in the MSDN forums. The community on these forums is more experienced to answer questions related to the programming language.

    Here is the link for the same thing. Thank you.

  • Can clock be turned off in order to use a digital clock Widget and are not stupid to have 2 of them at the same time?

    I read an article that you could press the button 'back' on your phone and displays a larger version of the clock, but the guy was probably referring to another phone and not the MotoDroid.  Not apply for criticism, but I chose the MotoDroid the HTC version because of the carrier and better capabilities... However, the HTC clock looks quite nice, he doesn't?

    You can't get rid of the time indicator in the notification bar.

    However, if you download home ++, there a number of fantastic features, including the horizontal orientation of the home screen. Also, if you do a long press on Home ++ icon notification in the power bar, it will hide the notification bar and give you a little more screen to watch!
