Deleting all Face data in iPhoto '11

Hi everyone,
While naming my Faces in iPhoto '11 I accidentally ignored a lot of faces that I actually did know.
Does anyone know how to remove all the Faces data so I can start again? Is there a Terminal command or a file in the Library?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Try the steps in the following except for the locking of the faces db file.
Disable_Faces
1 - open the library like this in the Finder.
2 - in the Database folder move this file to the Trash: Faces.db.
3 - close the package/folder and launch iPhoto. Close it after a moment.
4 - while viewing the contents of the package type Command+F to start a search.
5 - set the criteria of the search to: Kind is Image and Name Contains "face".
6 - select all of the files in the search results window and drag to the Trash.
7 -close the package and launch iPhoto.
This will remove any "faces" images in the library as well as setting the faces database back to the beginning, empty.
Of course make a temp, backup copy of the library before trying this.

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Help!

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Both iTunes and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it. What is going on?

Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

If i click to turn off my backup and delete all backup data will I lose everything on my ipad? or will it just no longer be stored in icloud?

currently my iphone and my ipad share data in my icloud account. if i click to turn off my back up and delete all backup data, what will happen? will i lose everything on my ipad, or will it just no longer be stored in icloud?

It will only delete your backup from iCloud.

I deactivated my apple id and want to add another id to my icloud acc,how can I do this without deleting all my data from my ph?

There is an option to delete the account, but then it says it will delete all my data, which I dont want to happen.

When you delete icloud account off your phone it will ask you if you want to keep or delete the data. You will choose to keep and will be ok. The only thing that will reset is photostream, so if that is a concern, back up your pictures.

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

I deleted all my events in iPhoto

Hi some how i have managed to delete all my events in iphoto i do not have time machne set up yet and would really like to get them all back can anyone offer any help, do Mac have a system restore point like windows, am still getting use to the Mac only had it about 5 weeks

That software works just fine. Ive used it, you will run a deleted file scan. You can buy that exact same software at the Apple Store. Its not made by Apple but its is used to recover deleted files.
Also - have you checked to see if the iphoto library is there in your pictures folder, if so hold controle + click, or right click on the "iPhoto Library" and sellect "show packedge contents" then find your "originas" folder - do you see your phtos there ?

I had to change my apple ID now how do I update icloud without deleting all cloud data on the computer?

My provider is terminating email service so I had to change my apple ID. I did that in iTunes but now my icloud on my PC wants me to sign in under my old id, I don't see a way to update to the new ID without deleting all cloud data on the PC. Is there another way so I don't have to resync everything from the cloud?

Check the list in the link below, how to change all services, after you changed your Apple ID:
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support

In particular, for iCloud:
Update your Apple ID or password on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, and Apple TV.
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you're signed out, enter your updated Apple ID or password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm. You might need to enter your password. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter your updated Apple ID or password.

HT201269 How can I delete all my data from former Iphone 4 for future sale on Ebay?

Hello!
I've just purchased an Iphone 5 from a new carrier. Now I should like to sell my former Iphone 4 but, obviously, removing all my personal data (contacts, photographs, etc.) . How can I transfer the ringtones that I purchased from by Iphone 4?
How can I do it? Thanks in advance.
Regards,

backup the device and restore it as new.
If you already have or don't need a backup:
Erase your device
Erasing all content and settings will delete all the data from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All device settings are restored to their factory condition.
To remove all settings and information from your device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. For more information about this feature, see iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'.
If you are unable to erase your device, restore the device using iTunes.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 for the exact steps.
Transferring ringtones isn't supported, as far as I know...

I deleted all my photos on iphoto and want to restore them back

I deleted all my photos on iphoto library and then i deleted it in trash too and now I want to retrieve all those photos back! Is it possible?

Well that's a lesson learned.
File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

Why did my Mac delete all my pictures on Iphoto?

My Mac deleted all my pictures in IPhoto without asking me... I do not know what happened, or why it happened. I've had my Macbook Pro for only 1 year.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

I want to delete all the data

I have to sale my MacBook and before delivery I want to delete all the data. Howwwwwwwwwww ?..

First, go to  > About this Mac and see Version. If it's 10.6, 10.5 or your Mac came with DVDs:
1. Insert the Mac OS X DVD that came with your Mac and press C key while your Mac is starting.
2. Open Utilities > Disk Utility, choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the disk.
3. Install Mac OS X. When the installation finishes, turn off the computer. Remember to give the DVDs to the owner.
If it's 10.8, 10.7 or your Mac didn't come with discs:
1. Press Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting and open Disk Utility.
2. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and erase the drive.
3. Install OS X. When the installation finishes, turn off the computer

Script that deletes all the data in the DB

Somebody has or know a script that delete all the data (but not the tables) of the database???? I have dummy data and know I need the tables clean of data.
How can I delete it???????? Thank you for you help
Javier

You could truncate all the tables with the following commandTRUNCATE TABLE <table_name>;This will delete all the data in the table while keeping the table structure, contraints, indexes, triggers, etc. intact so they wont have to be rebuilt. All foreign keys must be disabled to use the TRUNCATE command.

All the data on my Ipad3 is wiped out. is it possible to delete all the data from my ipad if somebody knows icloud-ID and password

It sounds like a remote erase was sent via 'Find My Mac', to check please go to www.icloud.com and login. Is there any data there?
If it was a remote erase only someone who had the ID and password could have done it. And in that case the data is gone, it is not recoverable I'm afraid.
