Turn on “Delete photos after importing” if you’d like the iPhone’s cameraphone
memory cleared out after the transfer.

In Windows. When you attach a camera (or an iPhone), a dialog box
pops up that asks how you want them handled. It lists any photo-management
program you might have installed (Picasa, Photoshop Elements,
Photoshop Album, and so
on), as well as Windows’ own
camera-management software
(“Scanner and Camera
Wizard” in Windows XP;
“using Windows” in Vista).
Click the program you want
to handle importing the
iPhone pictures. You’ll probably
also want to turn on
“Always use this program for
this action,” so the next time,
it’ll happen automatically
without your having to fool
around with a dialog box.
Shutting Up the Importing Process
Then again, some iPhone owners would rather not see some lumbering
photo-management program firing itself up every time they connect the
phone. You, too, might wish there were a way to stop iPhoto or Windows from
bugging you every time you connect the iPhone.
That, too, is easy enough to change—if you know where to look.
