Breaking the CameraWindow
Whenever I install all my collection of favourite software on a Mac, I have the same conundrum to solve: connecting an iPhone results in the following notification:
Regardless how often I’ve managed to find out what is happening, I seem never to remember for too long… The issue with CameraWindow appearing has to do with the installation of the Canon EOS Digital Solutions software. That CD contains EOS Utility and Digital Photo Professional, amongst others. Since certain cameras don’t trigger the automatic launch of iPhoto or similar software on the host machine, Canon provides this utility to assist. Unfortunately, the software is installed without question and is not immediately easy to disable. Instead of living in the System Preferences, CameraWindow can be disabled only once iPhoto has been launched and its preferences examined.
Selecting a different action to occur when a camera is connected gets rid of the annoying CameraWindow notification. Now I remember. Again…
What version of iPhoto are you using? Mine does not have these options available.
I’m on a MacBook Pro, with Snow Leopard, with iPhoto version 6.0.6 (which I think is going to prove to be dated).
