Thanks for this. I’m a fairly recent Apple convert, and so far very happy with the change. There’s just a handful of little nits where something seems like it should be so easy to change, like this, but the setting is buried somewhere that it’s hard to find.

Much thanks goes to you all for this GREAT help!! I was just going STARK RAVING MAD with this nuisance, and finally found this webpage with an explanation of how to do it. At first, I didn’t get it but I got it after I connected my iPhone to the laptop.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6, and the option is inside Image Capture.

1) CONNECT YOUR IPHONE TO THE COMPUTER FIRST!
2) OPEN IMAGE CAPTURE
3) SEE THE BOTTOM ROW SHOWING THE OPTION TO OPEN AN APPLICATION WHEN CONNECTING THE IPHONE

You’re a legend! Have a slightly elderly PowerBook G4 running 10.4.11, and this was the biggest single annoyance with my new iPhone. You’ve stopped me going mad!

Cheers, Simon.

I’m not sure if this info is out of date now but I couldn’t find to do it your way but I could find the same option under IPhoto/Preferences. Same info, just different place. Thanks!

Thanks so much for posting this.
On my own computer I have Aperture loaded and I think the setting is in there. But on my wife’s computer it kept popping open iPhoto when the phone is plugged in to tether, and thats quite a bit.
Not any more. Funny how some simple things can feel sooo good to get fixed.
