Photos or iPhoto is a photo software app for your Apple Macintosh (Mac OS X) and it has one annoying option.
Every time when you connect your iPhone/iPad to your Mac or insert a SD-Card, the Photo app opens automatically. Then you probably hate it just as much as I do, it’s time to learn how to stop this problem.
Copy and paste the following command in Terminal and press Enter to prevent Photos from opening automatically:
defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug -bool YES
Congrats! Apple Photos should stay closed from now. Pretty easy or isn’t it!?
If you would like to re-enable the auto launching function in the future, no problem. Simply open up Terminal again and enter the following single command:
defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug -bool NO
