Stop the annoying ‘Camera Connected’ dialogue when connecting iPhone to Windows XP

August 31, 2008 · Posted in Configuration 

Every time I dock my iPhone on Windows XP I get a popup asking me if I’d like to launch an application. Well you know what? All I wanna do is stand it in it’s dock and allow it to charge.

So, to get round this pain in the arse problem follow these simple steps:-

  1. Ensure that your iPhone is connected
  2. Open ‘My Computer’
  3. Right Click on the ‘Apple iPhone’ icon
  4. Select Properties
  5. Pick the Events tab
  6. Choose ‘Take no action’
  7. Click ‘OK’

Now when you dock your iPhone the popup will not annoy you.

    This stopped my iphone from showing the connected iphone popup window in windows when I was sitting by my desk looking at a window.
