There is no way to disable mac photos

A complete cataloging of problems with Photos.app would Leo Tolstoy seems a man of few words. So rather than listing all of its flaws, I will summarize my goal is simply to disappear, or at least never darken the face of my monitor.  Unfortunately, the Photos is the friend of a friend who showed during your reception, remained long after everyone left him, and no matter how ostensibly you ask, not leave and let you go to the bed.

For awhile, I thought I had managed to block, at least in the basement, where it doesn't bother me, offering him a cask of amontillado, the following incantation by typing at the bash prompt. An incantation, you mind which took a quest of epic proportions to discover because not wanting to deal with this turbulent offspring of a drunk COBOL programmer and a Labrador retriever humping your leg seems to be against religion Macintologist.

defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture2 HotPlugActionPath ''

For the most part, the above seemed to work fairly well. I could insert the SD card from my camera, fire up a program that ***** marginally less, and process my photos without Photos.app, jumping up, putting both paws on my chest, slobbering all over my face, then trying to hump my leg.

Tonight, I tried to use tethering with my new camera. I fired up my image processing software, plugged in the cable, and managed to take a couple of  photos using the tethering plug in. But, as soon as I left the Space that had my image processing software, there was Photos.app, slobbering in my face and humping my leg again.

Unfortunately, not even

sudo rm -rf /Applications/Photos.app

will put this unruly pile of software dogbreath out of our misery.  How do I make it go away, and never, ever come back and bother me again?

Unfortunately, not even

sudo rm -rf /Applications/Photos.app

This is intentional and one of the new security features of Capitan E - the protection of the integrity of the system.  You may not modify the software system, even as an administrator.

Photos is installed as an essential part of the system and not a separate application. To be able to uninstall it you have to disable the protection of the integrity of the system by booting into recovery. Not a good idea.

Try to ignore the pictures. You don't have to respond to the surprise guests.

You can assign Photos to a separate office you never look to make it out of the way.

Are you sure, that you have entered «mistakes...» "command correctly?

This Terminal command works for me:

This Terminal command to disable auto-start for any photo application, not just Photos. If Lightroom will not launch and you must manually launch the application of your choice.

  • 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

defaults write currentHost - com.apple.Photos 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 by JadedEye

    Hello. I so want to know if there is a way to keep the photos on icloud and get them deleted on your iphone, so that there is no problem of storage of the device.

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

  • With hybrid CMR, there is a way to disable the audio associated with participating black silhouette so it doesn't not voice-switch the video?

    Other products do not turn on the video, when audio participants talk and I wonder if there is a way to disable this with hybrid CMR / WebEx.  If not, anyone know if it's on the roadmap of Cisco?

    When you view the video within WebEx and telepresence to WebEx Connect, you will see the audio avatar, is how WebEx is designed to display audio participants, and there is no way to change this.  You might contact WebEx Support, but about the roadmap of Cisco, you will need to contact your account manager to Cisco for this information.

    I recently changed to windows 7 from vista. I was wondering if there is a way to recover old photos of the vista operating system... If so can someone help me

    If you did an upgrade and not a clean install, they must remain on your drive. Do a search of *.jpg, *.jpeg and see what you get. If I remember correctly, you will have a folder windows.old that they appear in. You can use Windows Explorer if you want to look in your records in the Windows.Old directory.

    I hope this helps.

  • Is there a quick way of formatting automatic photo?

    Hello

    Here's a newbie question in PhotoShop CS4. I'll do the same tasks over and over again:

    1. I get a picture of my photographer. .

    2. I want to convert to grayscale.

    3. I want to run auto levels, contrast automatic and Auto color

    4. I want to save it as a. PSD file

    Is it possible to automate these tasks? I realize they take only a few seconds to do, but I wonder if there is a way to run a script 'Macro' or some sort of automation.

    With the #1 question: if I convert each photo to grayscale, should I run Auto color at all?

    With question #2: that any order, I run my process? (My process are: convert to grayscale, run the auto levels, contrast automatic and track Auto color.) In other words, should I convert to grayscale, all levels first, then run the auto levels, etc., or isn't it important?)

    Thank you!

    It's really Basic.

    Record you an Action; Save it in an action game; and then run it on a folder of photos using annealing in Bell or Image Processor.

  • Does anyone know if there is a way to link thumbnail photos with their corresponding images of Heroes Muse?

    Hey community.

    Is it possible in Adobe Muse to change a thumbnail image and match image the image of heroes have changed?


    For the moment, when I replace a thumbnail in the Gallery of thumbnails slideshow, which does not change

    the image of hero. The image of Heroes retains the previous image that I deleted the thumbnail!

    I need to replace both the miniature that image of hero to have the two match.

    It seems completely non-intuitive pictures and images of heroes do not match!

    You'd think that if I replace a thumbnail image I would while the image to appear in my slide show of hero!

    There, can someone help me?

    Does anyone know of a workaround HTML?

    It's really frustrating!

    Thank you community!

    Hello

    Yes you are right, I just tried to reproduce the same thing at my end and found that is we just replace it the thumbnail, the same does not get reflected in the slideshow of heroes.

    However, you can put the same question here ideas for features in Adobe Muse and inform our Muse developers so this a good feature to add.

    Kind regards

  • Is there a way to disable the brightness on my keyboard keys?

    It's really bad if I accidentally hit my keyboard brightness keys because my monitor must be calibrated very at all times since I was a photographer.  Someone knows how to turn off these keys I don't accidentally hit?

    Thank you!

    There is a way to disable ALL the F1, F2, etc. keys, but I don't think there's a way to just disable these two keys.

     > System Preferences > keyboard > keyboard (tab) > check "use all F1, F2, keys as standard function keys etc.

    Note that this will prevent all Mac controls, associated with the F1, F2, etc. keys. While this check box is selected, you can still use the features such as the brightness and spaces, but you need to hold the function (fn) key while pressing F1...

    This will allow to use the Pause/Play, spaces, Launchpad and keys of brightness by pressing fn and then the F1, press F2 etc to the action you want.

    Hope this helps

  • Easy way to access your Photos

    Hello

    is there an easy way to access my photos in the Photo for OS X app?

    I know that I can export (for example on the desktop) and then drag and drop it into the destination folder/app

    Another way is to use the menu to access media when opening files in apps but its not convenient to get the right picture.

    Are there other/better ways that I can get my faster photos to other applications?

    Use the menu to share Photos to share on Facebook or other applications.

    And if you want to open photos in other applications, you can use the extensions of these photo editing applications.  Or use the External Editor extension to open any other photo editor of pictures.

  • Paste an image as new layer: no way to disable automatic resizing?

    If I stick a picture on a smaller, CS5 will automatically resize itself it so that it fits in the frame. You can then manually turn in its original size, but this is awkward for what I do, so I was wondering if there was a way that disabled so that it keeps the original size (with parts of the layer being off screen). Even better would be if I could just paste without automatically enter free transform, as in earlier versions of Photoshop.

    Thanks in advance.
