Face Metadata accessible and/or can it be batch deleted?

Is there there a way access and/or batch delete "Face" data? Many of my old (pre-digital) photos are scanned from the originals in photo albums. I also have taken a digital photograph of each album page to keep in Aperture for reference. I don't want face detected on those photos (of album pages). It seems the faces (named or un-named) on these photos can only be deleted one at a time. I would like to be able to select all these photos (of album pages) and simply delete all faces. Is this possible?
On a related note, is it possible to display the named faces in a meta-data field (it appears not). Aperture seems to treat "face" meta-data as a special type of meta-data that isn't accessible. Please tell me that I am wrong!
Thanks,
Dave

I think my best option is to export the photos that I don't want to have Face data into a separate library, then delete them from my main library. At least they won't show up when I search Faces in my main library.
That looks like a good idea.
After you export the library with the unwanted "Faces", make a backup of the library. Then try to delete the Faces database inside. quit aperture, if it is running.
Crtl-click (or right click) the library with the Faces.
Select show Package contents.
in the window that opens, delete the folder Database/Faces/ und the file Database/apdb.Faces.db
Close the window. Launch aperture again on the modified library. all Faces should be gone.
Now delete the project with the unwnted faces from your main library and import the library without faces.
The Faces folder
The faces.db

I have some applications that haven't finished updating and I can't open nor delete them?

Get your iPhone to update only one app at a time as follows:
Click each application that is updating to get it to a "Paused" state. Once they are all paused, then do this for one application at a time:
Click it until is says "Updating". Let it finish updating and installing. Then repeat for the next application.

Thanks.

From which table and field can I get batch split indicator?

Dear friends,
There is batch split indicator at VL02N screen. From which table and field can I get this indicator?
Thanks regards..

Hi,
I dont think there is anythign called batch split indicator.
You can find that there is a batch split in a delivery if LIPS-UECHA field is updated for a particular delivery. If UECHA is filled, then the number means that for the item number mentioned in UECHA, those records are the split records.
i.e. For example say for a line item 10, there are 2 split items in a delivery. In this case, there will be two line items with LIPS-POSNR = 90001 and 90002. These line items will have LIPS-UECHA = 10. This means that the items 90001 and 90002 are the child batch items for the parent line item 10 as mentioned in UECHA field.
btw....u can check LIPS-CHSPL if this is what you are looking for.
I hope this answers your question. If you have any doubt, pls lemme know

Where is face information stored, and how can it be exported

I don't have the product yet, but after hearing our photographer's rave review of the faces feature, I'm wondering where iPhoto stores the faces information... and how that info can be exported.
does it get tagged in like exif info, or can the program export a per-file xml piece of information, or what?

If you are interested in mucking arond with iPhoto databases, I think you might be able to extract the information.
One way that will work is to create a smart album with the name of the person. This will create an album that is always up to date with that person's photos. You can then parse out the photos from the AlbumData.xml and figure out which photos have which that person in it.
Another way that doesn't involve creating smart albums (if you don't want those to clutter iPhoto) is to look at the face.db file. This file is an sqlite3 database that contains information about all of the "faces" in your database. You can see the contents of the database with the command
/usr/bin/sqlite3 face.db .dump > dump.txt
I haven't figured out what all of the fields are, but I'm sure that there are lines that contain ID numbers for the photos (which you can get from the AlbumData.xml file). I'm sure that someone will publish how to extract what you need from this file at some point (of course this is hacking around in the internal database from iPhoto which can easily change at any time). I haven't reverse engineered the format yet, but might do so at some point (I am also very interested in this information).

Opened a draft that had been saved, edited it, and now can neither send, nor delete, nor close that message. Mail program stuck there. Any idea how to get it "unstuck?"

In mail, on my iPad 2, I opened a draft message that had been saved. I edited it and want to send it. The Send and Cancel bottons are both grayed out. I can't send it, nor cancel it, nor get out of that message. Please help.

Charlie-
First I would select the contents of the message and copy it to the clipboard.
Click your Home button to get out of Mail. Then double-click the Home button. A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Mail icon. Press and hold on it until it starts to wiggle. A red minus sign will appear on each of the icons. Press the minus sign to remove Mail from the list. This should also un-hang it.
If successful, Mail should work normally, and you should be able to paste the clipboard to another new message.
If not successful, you can try resetting (rebooting) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.

I mistakenly downloaded the explicit version of a song and now can't seem to delete it. I've put the file in the trash, I've deleted it in my music library but everytime I sync my phone to my computer it reappears. Help! This is so frustrating.

I purchased an explicit version of a song by mistake. I then went back on line and purchased the clean version. I've deleted it from my itunes library but when I sync it with my phone, it reappears. How do I remove it permanently? It almost seems like what's on my phone is what appears on my computer and not the other way around.
Help!

For most things that's true, but purchases are the exception.

I attempted to download a podcast but it was corrupt and only a fraction downloaded. It won't download and I can't delete. How do I get it off my itouch?

I attempted to download a podcast but it was corrupt. Only a fraction downloaded and I can't download nor delete. Any ideas as to how to delete?

If a Podcast has only partially downloaded, then you need to delete that partial download before iTunes will "allow you" to begin a fresh download of that same file.
Have a look in your iTunes Media folder for the Download folder. On my Windows 7 for instance, it's Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads. In that folder, there should be a sub-folder with the name of that podcast which has the partial download in it. Delete the named podcast folder, but not the Download folder.
You should then be able to start a fresh download (if you still want it!).

No but it transfers the music that is purchased from the iPhone back to my computer, when I don't want it on either and I can't uncheck or delete it directly on my phone.

Help- ipod is full and I can't delete songs/playlist

I need help please. My Ipod is currently full and I can't seem to delete songs/playlist to make more room. My I pod is set to maually update. I can connect my Ipod and higlight the songs/playlist I want to delete and right click and delete. But the Ipod still says I have the same amount of songs on it and the same amout of used MB. The songs/playlist are no longer on my Ipod (I can't play them) but I just don't seem to be making room to add more onto my Ipod. I just seem to be deleting more and more from my Ipod without being able to add more on. Help please???
Ipod Windows XP

From what I understand you are deleting the playlists. THe playlist only organizes the songs you have in your library. This will not delete the song from the library. In order to get more space, just click on the small box next to the name of the song (The box will not have a check now). THis way you will have the song on your library but will not be loaded on you ipod.
