Contacts - how to get faces icon to appear so that I can select photos from iPhoto?

In Contacts when I try to edit and select a persons photo all I can select from is buttons labelled Defaults, Recents, and Camera. I have heard there should be a Faces button which would allow me to select photos from iPhoto. In iPhoto I have applied names to my photos. Any idea why this button does not display for me? I am on a Mac Pro.
Thanks

After posting my question found links to others who have reported the same issue. The fix for me was to do the following:
Closed out of both Contacts and iPhoto (may not have been necessary but I did)
Clicked on Finder application
Clicked on the GO button at the top of the screen
Held down the "alt-option" key so that the LIBRARY selection would appear. Clicked on LIBRARY.
Clicked on the FILE button at the top of the screen and selected NEW FOLDER.
Named the folder Images
Launched the Contacts application. Edited a contact and when I go to edit the photo I now have the FACES button.

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

I select photo from iPhoto,go to share:email, photo uploaded to email, type in address, click send, pop up window appears with: email did not go thru because server did not reply - now what, how do I fix?

I select my photos from iPhoto, go to toolbar, click share and email, photo is uploaded onto email screen and I add photo info and type in my
email address, click send at the bottom of page and it after a minute or two, a pop up appears with the message: your email did not go through
because your server did not reply. Have sent the same photo to my email address with no problem just to doublecheck. Why will it not
send out to other email addresses? Thank you.

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's there. Now add it back and try again.
A more reliable method is to set Mail as the email Client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane. The Mail client is more reliable, gives you better access to your Contacts, gives you a sent copy and has photo themes similar to iPhoto's in its stationary section.

The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000). Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space. I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone. I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone. I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this. Thanks for any help.

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

HT2498 I can move photos from the P80 camera to iPhoto in the MacBook, but do not know how to do the reverse, move selected photos from iPhoto to the SD card on the camera.

How do I move photos from iPhoto back to the SD card on my camera? I can move them from the camera to the computer easily. How do I do the reverse?

Select the photos in IPhoto and export to a desktop folder, mount the SD card and drag the folder to it

How can I copy selected photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my iPhone 6?

I used to have many photos on my iPhone 6. I also have thousands of photos on my iMac. After iDrive became available I decided to try it, and uploaded my large photos library to my iPhone and iPad. After using it for awhile I decided against keeping all these photos on my other devices. I removed everything from iDrive and my IOS devices. Now I'd like to find a way to restore some of my photos to IOS devices.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to do that.
Thanks

Put the photos you want to upload to your iPhone in an album in iPhoto. Connect the iPhone to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on your iPhone icon
and then on Photos
Next check Sync Photos and Selected albums. Find the album with the photos you want to upload and select it.
Lastly click on the Sync button.

How do I access my CC files using Lightroom 5 so that I can edit photos from desktop or laptop

Very frustrated. I am not sure if this is a question about 'syncing' (since it's apparently not available to everyone - though this wasn't mentioned when they sold me on their subscription), about 'work flow' (what ever that means), 'catalogs', 'libraries', 'collections', 'folders", 'importing' or 'exporting'.
All I want to do it to be able to move from my desktop in one room to my laptop in another (or on the road) and be able to open up and edit the same group of photos that I managed earlier to upload into files on the <files> section of the CC panel. I watched a vdeo about 'syncing' using CC for Photoshop but I think this is for presets. Which begs the question, can you do the same for lightroom 5 presets?
In looking at my screen with the CC panel on it and clicking on <Files> so that I am sure I am typing about the correct features, I now see that the 3 file folders of photos I dragged and dropped into it earlier today is now missing my files and is displaying a message that says "Coming Soon: Creative Cloud will sync files between the cloud and your desktop". Where did my files go?
Now I am even more frustrated.
My questions are now:
1) How do I access the cloud, where my files should be, when using only Lightroom?
2) Do I have to import photos into Lightroom on one of my 2 computers first, then transfer them to the cloud, before I can also access them on the other machine?
I am not sure if this information matters, but I switch between a desktop and a laptop throughout the week. Both are Windows. I also use an external harddrive to store my photos on. It would be nice if I didn't have to unplug the damn thing and carry it with me from location to location.
Thanks in advance.

So, in short, is there a simple way , without opening iphoto, to do a logical path such as HD, pictures, iphoto, iphoto library and then BAM! just see all my files?
In short - no.
If you are using iPhoto to manage your photos for you, use iPhoto to retrieve them.
There are many user-friendy ways to access photos in iPhoto, but if you simply want a set of nested folders with photos, don't import your photos to iPhoto.

When I import selected photos from iPhoto I am getting double images in Aperture...why???

Does anyone know why I am getting double images when I import from iPhoto to Aperture?

I found this under Aperture help:
Sometimes you get two copies of an image imported from iPhoto, and the pair is stacked. Though this might surprise you, the reason is very simple. Whenever you edit in iPhoto, it preserves the original and makes the changes to a copy. When you import to Aperture, you get both the original and the copy from iPhoto.
If you want the originals only, here's a quick way to remove the copies by using the "iPhoto-edited" keyword:
Click any image in the project to select it.
Choose Edit > Select All.
Choose Stacks > Unstack.
In the browser's search box (to the right of the magnifying glass), type: iPhoto-edited
This will cause only iPhoto-edited images to appear in the Browser. Now you can relocate or delete them as you please.
Note: If you have manually edited the contents of the iPhoto Library or have used any third-party software that sub-manages or attempts to minimize the size of the iPhoto Library (by deleting originals, for example) then you need to exercise caution. Rather than delete the files immediately, consider temporarily storing them in another project until you're sure you have everything you want to keep in the main project.
Good luck.

How do I add a 'photo folder' to my itunes account so that I can transfer photos from my computer to my ipad?

I'm trying to get photos transfered from my computer to my Ipad. My Itunes does not have a 'Photo' folder to place my photos. I can find everything but a 'Photo' folder (Movies, Podcasts, IUniv, Books etc). Any thoughts?

9850,
you can do it by creating sub-folders within the folder that is selected to be synced.
e.g. Folder "Photo" has been selected to be synced to your iPad.
Create two sub-folders e.g. "Family" and "Vacation" within "Photo" folder and put photos in both sub-folders instead of "Photo" folder.
Now sync your photos and in photo's tab, after you have selected "Photo" folder to be synced, make sure you select all Folders as example below:
Once completed you will find both folders "Family" and "Vacations" are in your iPad's album including Camera Roll. e.g. below:
