 Okay, so you've gone out you've taken a bunch of pictures whether it's with a tablet a camera a cell phone an iPod or something like that you've come home, and you're ready to download your pictures So you plug in your memory card into your computer and then boom I photo opens so let me jump in and show you how to fix this first I'm gonna start by plugging in a memory card You'll see that memory card pop up and then instantly I photo is gonna open now You may not see this right away, but at the top you've got some options photos shared albums projects Import right here what you want to do is click on the import button And when you click on the import button over here on the left hand side You'll see an option that says open photos for this device All we're gonna do is turn that off and then go ahead and quit photos or I photo whatever you're calling it these Days and then we're gonna eject the memory card. I'm gonna pull the card out plug it back in and nothing should happen So there you can see that my memory card has been detected But I photo or photos has not been launched now We've gone ahead and turn that off and that's how you stop I photo from importing your pictures
