Possible cause for Faces failures (migration from an older version)

I've had no luck with Faces recognizing faces in images.
I think that the issue is with how the images got to iPhoto.
I imported 2000+ images from my iBook (iPhoto 04). Of those, Faces failed in ~>95% of the images. Today, I took two junky photos with Photobooth, including a dark and distant shot. Faces recognized that there was a face in the image, although it hadn't learned the face, yet (I know, that takes time).
I believe the issue might have to do with the fact that I imported images from a distant version (i.e. coming from iPhoto 4 instead of iPhoto 07 or 08, or whatever).
Or, possibly that I migrated from another machine as opposed to upgrading iPhoto on the same machine?
Hopefully this line of reasoning will isolate the problem's cause.
Please reply if you are having success or not, as well how your photos got into iPhoto '09 (i.e. Migration from another computer and type, prior iPhoto version, etc.)
I'll start...
I migrated my images from iPhoto 4 from an iBook (PPC) and have had very little, if any, success with Faces recognizing faces in images.
Thanks!

I just imported (from my Treo) three images that were exactly the same as the three successes from Photobooth.
Being from different sources they cannot be the same. Maybe the face in the photo was the same but the rest of the file, i.e. the metadata is different. Some image sources write metadata differently and that can cause issue. It's probable that iPhoto is expecting the metadata to adhere strictly to the EXIF/ITPC standards and some of the sources don't in writing the metadata to the file.
Report the problem to iPhoto via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html and give the details of the photos as you've done here. That will help them better understand the issue and get a fix out.

  • Migration from the older version of the JHeadStart to the newer version

    Hi ALL,
    i want to migrate an application form the older version of the JHeadStart (10.1.3) to the newest version (10.1.3.2 )
    is there any things i must take care of it ??
    as when i opened the application in the new JHeadStart and try to run the application definition i got java.lang.NullPointerException ???????????

    In the default templates, a revision history lists the modifications made in new releases. If you know what functionality you changed compared to the old default template, you can apply that same change to the new default template.
    If you use a Version Control System like CVS or Subversion, this is relatively easy. See the JHeadstart Blog post about Subversion at http://blogs.oracle.com/jheadstart/2007/02/20#a138, it includes a screen shot of how to see the changes between the old and new default templates.
    See also the 2nd suggestion in section 4.7.2 of the JHeadstart Developer's Guide.
    Hope this helps,

  • Is it possible to import the failure cases from another test plan in MTM ?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to import the failure cases from another test plan? For example, I have created a new test plan with ID 1002. Now I want to import the failure cases from test plan with ID 1001.  Is there anyway to do this?
    Thanks,
    Leslu

    Hi Leslu,
    As far as I know, there isn’t that feature in MTM, but we could achieve that by add test cases to the test suite.
    As we know, the test case is associated to the test suite, remove the test case from the test suite won’t delete the test case, it just remove the relationship.
    So, we could base on the test cases’ id to add the test cases to a test suite of another test plan.
    The condition is:
    Work Item Type In Group Test Case Category
    ID In id1,id2 (e.g. 1,2,)

  • What cable do I need for a full migration from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a new current one-wireless migration way too slow.?

    What cable do I need for a full migration from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a new current one-wireless migration way too slow.?

    All you need is an Ethernet cable.
    Just plug it into both machines. Don't bother with a crossover cable, just a plain old Ethernet cable will do. The Ethernet ports on the Macs are smart and will adjust appropriately.

    What are possible causes for frequent loss of wireless mouse connectivity other than the batteries ?

    Wi-Fi or another interference source. Try turning off the Wi-Fi and see if the problems continue. If that solves the problem, see if you can set your Wi-Fi to run in the 5 GHz range.

  • Custom Auto Attendant Prompts through TUI not working for users who migrated from 2010 to 2013

    In Exchange 2010, we started using unified messaging and set up Auto Attendants. We setup a admin role/RBAC for people of a security group to be able to update the message on the auto attendants. They have the UMPrompts assigned role. All of this is working
    great in 2010. We have now migrated to 2013, and the users who were migrated from 2010 to 2013 can no longer update the messages through TUI. Newly created 2013 users can and are assigned the EXASCT same permission as the users who have been doing this for
    well over a year on 2010.  When they call the AA and press #,* they are asked to provide their extension, after doing so the system tells them that extension is not correct. and asks for the extension again.  Newly created users with the same permissions
    get prompted for their PIN and can log in and change the message just fine. 
    Confirmed Bug?  anybody else having this issue?
    What would be different for this process between a user who was migrated from a previous version like 2010 compared to a newer user who has only ever existed on 2013?

    What if the migrated 2010 users are in the same DB as the system mailbox? I had a similar issue during a migration; http://www.skypeadmin.com/2014/11/10/known-issue-um-automated-attendant-tui-editing-broken-migration/

  • How do I migrate books from an older version of ADE on an old computer to a newer version of ADE on a newer computer?

    I have installed various versions of Adobe Digital Edition on a new computer.  The program says it detects books from an older version (which is correct, I copied "my digital editions" from an older computer to a new computer), and asks if I wish to migrate them to the new version.  I say yes, the program tells me the migration is successful, but I cannot see the old books in the library.  How do I get them to show up in the library of the new version of ADE?

  • Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

  • Is it possible using SQLite to collect data from an older SQL database?

    Is it possible using SQLite to collect data from an older SQL database? Where can I find a possible answer. Thanks in advance.

    There are 3rd-party tools (see comprehensive list at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html) that provide extra pdf functionality on top of the pdf export from Crystal. 
    In the case of my Visual CUT software, you can use hidden formulas inside your Crystal report to generate form fields (pre-populated as well as empty) as part of the pdf export process.

  • Open Pages documents from an older version

    I need to open Pages documents from an older version of Pages that I saved to an external drive from a computer that I no longer have access to.  My current operating system is 10.7.5 and I can't upgrade it right now.  I see that Pages 5.0 requires 10.10 or higher and I can't find older versions to download and from what I've read, it doesn't sound like I'd be able to open the old documents with the new version anyway.  I really need these documents. What can I do?

    I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files.  They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
    Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office.  That's what I had to do.  After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us.  I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
    If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.

  • Tips on upgrading to new Airport Extreme from an older version

    I've just ordered the lastest Airport Extreme (5th generation) and am looking for tips for a smooth transition from an older Airport Extreme.
    Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!

    AirPort Utility on your Mac will give you some options for the new AirPort Extreme.
    One of them that you might consider will be the displayed option to replace the old Extreme with the new Extreme.
    If you say "yes", AirPort Utility will transfer all of the settings from the old Extreme to the new Extreme
    If you want to start all over again "from scratch", that option is available as well in the guided setup.

  • How can I access Address Book data from an older version of the application to transfer it to a newer version of Mac OS running on a second hard drive on the same MDD G4?

    I installed a hard drive from one PowerPC Dual 1.25 GHz MDD into another one with an older version of the OS X.  all my Address Book data are on the older hard drive, from which I now boot the computer.  When I launch Address Book as an app on the hard drive with the newer version of the OS, I get an error message that says I cannot run the version of Address Book from the older hard drive on the newer OS.  How can I access the data on the older hard drive version of the Address Book app so that I can transfer it to the newer version of the app on the boot drive?  The "Import" functionality will not work. I will be grateful for any help I can get.  I would also like to uninstall the older version of OS X from the older hard drive.

    Boot from the older version of OSX, then in AB use the File>Export>Export vCard after selecting all in AB.
    Then boot from the new OSx & use the new AB to import that VCF file.
