Face detection presents faces with no picture

I have a large Aperture library and have been going through it over time to name the faces, but Aperture keeps presenting me with "faces" that don't have a picture.
This happens in two places, if I've selected a named face and I'm looking at or confirming faces for that name then I get some faces offered to me where there is no picture of the face:
And in the faces view before selecting a name, where you are presented with unnamed faces to name, I get offered faces like this:
For Aperture to show these to me it presumably must have a photo somewhere, so presumably this is something to do with missing thumbnails or previews.  I have done a complete repair/rebuild of my library - which had no effect - so I'm stuck.
Has anyone else seen this; any suggestions on how to get these photos to show an image?

It's not that faces doesn't work at all - I can see, name and get suggested faces with the library as it is - so I don't see what I'm going to prove by creating a new library.
I wanted to be sure that Aperture is working correctly, if the library has no issues.
You suggest my faces database might be broken - what does that imply - is no repair possible?
You have tried the built-in repair options - repair library, rebuild library. If you have enough disk space you could try to rebuild the library by importing it into a new library. Add some images with faces to it, before you import your old library. This will recreate the library and the Faces database. I cannot guarantee that this will solve the trouble, however. When I had a similar problem, only manually repairing the library package by replacing the "Faces" database inside from the backup did help, but you have added too many faces since the last working backup to go this way.

  • Recently, when I create a new album (untitled), it immediately fills with picture either from the album above it or, if I have a Faces collection open, with the pictures from that collection. Why and how do I fix it?

    When a new album is created it will fill with whatever is in the right hand window,  If you're in the Events or Photos mode it will contain all photos in the library.  Yes, strange behavior.

  • Best approach for using Faces with growing children?

    Hi all,
    I'm I recent Aperture user with young kids (four-year old twins), and I'm wondering how best to use Faces to identify the kids' faces.  I started working with about 6 months worth of recent photos in Aperture (3.2.3) before importing my full iPhoto library.  Faces did quite a good job of identifying the kids in that sample.  I've just imported all of my iPhoto library, which includes photos back to when the kids were first born.  Faces is now making suggestions that seem pretty reasonable, but far from perfect.  I suspect that if I go through the process of training Faces to do a better job with the "baby faces" its performace would improve on the old photos I just added, but is that a bad idea?  I'm afraid that training Faces to recognize the baby version of someone will "broaden" the definition it's using, making recognition less accurate for new photos I add. I could tell Faces that the baby versions are different people, but that might be worse -- then I'd have two very similar face profiles that are competing to "claim" new faces.  Does anyone have any experience that might help?
    Thanks,
    Brad

    Let me start by stating:
    - I don't know
    - I don't think you'll get any help from Apple.
    That said, here's what I suggest.  The Faces parameters are biometric.  The human head changes the least of any body part over the course of life.  Still, there is bound to be an age prior to which Faces identification works less-well because the data is "smeared".  Similarly, after that age, the Faces identification should work with the same level of accuracy.
    I would, for the present, ignore that.  Identify all Faces you have.  If Faces identification is sub-optimal, pick an age that you think corresponds to what I've laid out above, and create a new Face for all pictures of the individual prior to that age.  At that point you'll have two "Faces" for each individual: let's say "Robin Infant" and "Robin (post-infant)".
    While Aperture makes it easy to combine Faces (drag-drop in Faces View), I don't know an easy way to split named Faces.  It's easy enough to group the Images you want (filter for "Face is ... " and for "Date is before ... ").  From there, you will have to rename the Faces one-by-one.  This goes quickly by pasting the name in the name field.
    My guess is that the identification algorithm rejects the data from included faces that are outliers.  IOW, I don't think you can train Faces to be sloppy.
    Let us know what you find out.

  • Ignore Face with keyboard?

    I use the keyboard to tab to different detected faces in a picture, name them, and tab to the next face. I cant however, find a keyboard shortcut to ignore or delete a detected face. I have to mouse over each face and click the X in the top left corner. Please tell me I'm missing something and iPhoto has a way to do this with the keyboard?
    Thank You
    Josh

    I'm afraid you're not missing anything.

  • Returned from trip and downloaded several hundred photos. I photo will not allow identifying faces on most pictures. why and is there a fix

    Returned from trip and imported several hundred photos to Iphoto from a Nikon 3200.  I photo will not allow me to catalog Faces on most pictures. Some randomly will accept Faces.  Key words and Descriptions work.
    Why and how do I fix this?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import a few photos from your camera and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

    My iphone is no longer working I have black screen with a picture of the itunes logo and a USB cable.  When I try to connect my iphone to itunes the device is not detected, can anyone help me? I desperatley need my phone back

    I have had a 3GS for 2+ years.  After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems.  In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that!  I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience.  I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

  • Ipod mini hard drive goes crunch and now get Sad face with IPOD

    I've notice that after I installed new ITUNES and Updater software, my mini has the following problems:
    1. Click to the song and it just sits there and then it might skip over a the next song or songs before playing, like it is frozen
    2. I hear the hard drive - spinning and hear this crunching sound -
    3. Now I get the sad face with the ipod icon
    So would restoring my ipod help or should I take it and get it fixed, and how much would that cost
    Su

    Su,
    Is this noise you describe really a crunching noise - like a can being crushed, or more of a rhythmic or repeating clicking noise? It is normal for a drive to amke clicking sounds as it reads and writes to the drive. When this noise becomes rhythmic and repetitive, it can be a problem. If it is indeed a click-click-click type of noise or pattern, it could be that the drive is stuck. This can sometimes be corrected by tapping the iPod's left or right side against your palm firmly. I have revived several iPod mini's this way, and have not had it produce any ill effects. However, do note that you try this at your own risk and only if you are comfortable with the possibility or doing more damage. However, my opinion is that A) The iPod doesn't work right now, so there isn't much to lose, and B) you could save on a costly repair if it DOES work.

  • My problem is that the iPod does not turn on. Everytime I attempt to turn it on it shows the Apple logo then a small icon showing a sad face with a warning sign.

    IS MY IPOD DEAD?!?!?!?!?
    I think I have the previous iPod Classic with a black glossy front and I am pretty sure it is glass at the front. My problem is that the
    iPod does not turn on. Every time I attempt to turn it on it shows the Apple logo then a small icon showing a sad face with a
    warning sign along with the Apple support website. At the same time I can hear the internal mechanics which is also very loud. I have attempted
    to charge it as well as connecting it to itunes but no success. Could you please help?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • FF5 error parsing CSS font-face with url inline base64 data

    Firefox 5 refuses to parse CSS @font-face with url inline base64 data.
    I use the declaration:
    <style type="text/css">
    @font-face {
    font-family: 'MyFont';
    src: url(data:font/truetype;charset=utf-8;base64,[base64data]);
    </style>
    then used this way:
    <div style="font-family:'MyFont'; font-size:12.0pt">Test text</div>
    But Firefox is not using the font and in the error console, there is always the message:
    ''Error parsing the "src" value. Skipped to next declaration.''
    (more or less, I actually have this message in Czech)
    Tried with different mime types (font/ttf,font/otf,font/opentype,application/x-font-ttf etc.), with or without charset specification, with or without quoting the font family name, with different specifications:
    <style type="text/css">
    @font-face {
    font-family: 'MyFont';
    src: url(data:font/truetype;charset=utf-8;base64,[base64data]) format(truetype);
    </style>
    (tried also with opentype format, etc.)
    <style type="text/css">
    @font-face {
    font-family: 'MyFont';
    src: url('myfont-webfont.eot?');
    src: local('☺'), url(data:font/truetype;charset=utf-8;base64,[base64data]);
    </style>
    If I provide the font path:
    <style type="text/css">
    @font-face {
    font-family: 'MyFont';
    src: url('Arial.ttf');
    </style>
    (the font actually is Arial, for testing), it works (but I need to embed the font in the HTML for specific reason, so having the font externally is not the option).

    Finally I got it work! Thanks, cor-el, you pointed me the right way to solve this problem.
    There was problem with the encoding too (there was part of the font missing at the end, because of the bug in the program - I forgot to flush the buffered output stream), after then I was able to download the same copy of the TTF. - I didn't know about the possibility to put the entire url data to the location bar and try to download it, thanks cor-el.
    But it still didn't solve the problem ... the problem was, that the base64 stream was divided to multiple lines, like
    data:font/truetype;charset=utf-8;base64,
    AAEAAAAYAQAABACARFNJRwMaCRYAC8m8AAAXfEdERUaJ+Y1JAAr/JAAAAsJHUE9T
    e1arnwALAegAAKwaR1NVQt5CYFEAC64EAAAbmEpTVEZtKmkGAAvJnAAAAB5MVFNI
    RExjrAAAN8wAAA1dT1MvMhAyXXMAAAIIAAAAYFBDTFT9ez5DAAr+7AAAADZWRE1Y
    After I removed the line breaks, it works now! (the line is quite long then, because the base64 string is about 1MB, but it works)
    Strange that I do the same for images (jpeg, png) and there is no problem with base64 string divided to multiple lines.
    But anyway, I'm fine with that.

  • ADF Faces with Facelets (Menubar)

    Hello experts,
    i using ADF Faces with the jDeveloper (11.1.2) and currently i have a little problem. The menu bar is not usable when i using facelets. It seems to me that the component isn't working.
    This is my little testproject:
    http://www.axxg.de/Facelets.rar
    Thanks for your help
    Alexander

    Alexandar,
    You could have just explained your problem rather than making us download something.
    You have a few issues:
    1). You are using Facelets templating to include your content and header - however, content and header are full pages, not fragments - thus you have multiple f:view tags and af:document tags (this is why you have problems with the menu not dropping down). Have a look at ADF templates in the documentation if you'd like to see how ADF templating works.
    2) Your menus aren't set to do anything. <af:commandMenuItem text="open" id="cmi1"/> - there is no action/action listener associated with your menu item, so indeed it does nothing - this is what you will see when you fix problem #1

  • ADF Faces with NetBeans Visual Pack

    Hello all,
    I have NetBeans 5.5.1 installed with the Visual Pack and I am looking to try out other libraries with it, in particular ADF Faces from Oracle.
    Does anyone know how to import the components into the NetBeans Visual Pack? They download from oracle as[b] adf-faces-impl-10_1_3_0_4.jar and not as a complib extension, which NetBeans prefers.
    Please if anyones has any experience with getting this to work let me know. Or if you think it can't work let me know as well?
    Hoping to hear from someone soon. Thanks in advance.

    Hello again,
    Anyone out there using ADF faces with NetBeans Visual Pack who can give some feedback?
    I want to be able to use the drag and drop capabilities of the Visual Pack with the ADF faces components, but I don't see how to configure this as they do not come pre-configured as a complib extension.
    Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards.
