How to get photos not to open, windows 8?

Whenever I plug my iPhone into my new Lenovo laptop with windows 8 it keeps opening the picture library. How do I get this to stop? Please and Thank you!

Try change the file associated with application your preferred to open the picture will do.

You need to go to the settings and make it so it asks you every time what you want to do.

1. Move your cursor top right so the charms appear.
2. Click on Settings
3. Click on Change PC settings
4. Click/tap on PC & devices
5. Click/tap on AutoPlay on the left side
6. On the right side under AutoPlay, move the slider to the left to turn it off
or You could specify how a specific device acts when you plug it in by manually changing the settings. I set my to ask me each time, just like in W7:)

When you plug your phone into the computer a popup will display in the top RH corner asking you or saying there's an APP to open the file. If will not display → Windows Explorer → Right click iPhone → Open AutoPlay

  • Windows 7 Laptop will not import iPhone 3GS photos, but imports videos? I tried to import photos and videos from my 3GS using the import photos button built in to Windows 7. For some reason the photos will not import when I try, but the videos will. I get the message "The following error occurred while importing IMG_0003.JPG: The system can't find the path specified. What do you want to do? Try again, Skip this file, Skip all files with errors." The phone was unlocked and it still did not work.
