Yes, I just did that, this thread reminded me that I needed to take a valium and deal with this.
Photos opened as soon as I plugged the phone in, but it couldn't immediately download my nude pictures of Jennifer Aniston onto my work computer because my photo library was out of date. Photos locked up and wouldn't do anything until I created a new, up to date photo library (which I called AppleBulls**t). Photo immediately started copying my porn and secret rocket fuel recipes off my phone onto my business iMac. How convenient.
BUT! The magic "don't copy stuff off of this device" button finally did appear. I clicked it, deleted the AppleBulls**t folder, and now I can charge my phone at my desk without embarrassment or visits from the FBI. It's so fun and easy I don't know why everyone doesn't go through 10 minutes of bulls**t just to set up a phone charger. Now all I have to do is go through the same routine for every new memory card or other device I try to use with my computer.
The good news is Apple is on the cutting edge of consumer technology. One day every device will be like this. When you stick the key in your ignition gas station ads will start blaring out of the radio and you won't be able to make them stop until you download a software upgrade and find the secret switch that gives you back control of your car.
I used to like Apple...
When I download images from my camera memory card I create a folder on the computer and move the images I want in that folder from the card into the folder. It's simple, and I get exactly what I want. I don't have any use for a download app. I don't like Nikon's and I sure don't like Apple's.
