Faces in Photos app

Do you need to select the "face" in the photos tab in iTunes when synching?
I use Aperture 3, and I am synching a subset of my very large photo library. I would like to be able to see the faces from the photos I sync, but I do not want to sync all of the photos associated with a particular face.
Right now, I don't select any of the faces (just the albums / events I want to sync), and I was hoping to see the faces on my iPad (but this does not appear to work).
Do I need to sync ALL of the photos associated with a "face" in order to be able to see faces data on the iPad?

Jim, it doesn't appear so if you switch to iCloud Photos, then all synced photos through iTunes are removed which is how I had Faces synced before. Now there don't appear to be Faces on the iOS version of the app, or perhaps all those tagged haven't gone to the cloud and back down again. Is what I am describing clear? Thanks

The faces in Photos app of my iPhone are appearing, but none are selected in iTunes.

All is in the title.
I had problem to sync my events between iPhoto and the iPhone. I achieve it, but now, all faces are still showing in the Photos app of my iPhone. They are all unchecked. I selected "sync only events,... selected" and included automatically all events.
Any clue on this?

How to use faces in Photoes app

Where can you use faces on the Photos app

The Faces album is visible in the Sidebar (View menu > Show Sidebar ⌥⌘S ), if you show it, and the faces labels will show in the info panel for each photo. You can use the faces labels in smart albums and searches.

Faces and Places not showing in photo app on iPad

Before when i first got my iPad I remember seeing the faces and places tabs on the top bar of the photo app but now when I open the app i can only see albums pictures and events. How do I get them back?

So I noticed the same thing you guys are talking about, and it has been driving me crazy. I have a mac mini, with ilife 08. v 7.1.5 i think. I do not have the places and faces in my iphoto. But I do have an android phone that has geotagging. I got photos off my android that were geotagged and put them in an album in iphoto. when I synced that event to my photos on my ipad. the places tab reappeared. The odd thing is, the photos that I originally saw in Places before it vanished are no longer tagged in the map, neither are some other photos that I took with my android that were supposedly geotagged. so no, you do not need only a mac, and no you do not ilife 09 for this to work. I am assuming it will be much easier with ilife 09, but i can life without this feature for $70. FYI. hope it helps

IOS 8 faces are unsorted in photo app

Since IOS8 all the faces in the photo app are unsorted. If ou have only a few faces it is no problem, but if you have several hundrets of faces, it is useless.
Is there a switch to change this, which I didn't find?

Same here. Also, events are in apparently random order.
(To be precise: On iOS 8.2, Photos app, choose the "Albums" view in the bottom bar. You'll have a list view then, containing, from the top: Camera Roll, Panoramas, Videos, Events, Faces, then albums. If you choose Events or Faces, you will see synced events or tagged faces, respectively, but in a totally messed up order, making it an O(N) rather than an O(log N) operation to find the event or face you're looking for. Very very annoying, making these features virtually useless.)

Faces out of order in iOS 8.1 photos app

Has anyone else encountered a problem where faces (which I tagged and organized in Aperture and iPhoto) are completely out of alphabetical order in the iPhone photos app?
I've tried unsyncing, resyncing, and deleting the 'iPod photo cache' from the iPhoto/Aperture library. To no avail. Another strange thing I've noticed: In iTunes I can no longer choose to sync my iPhone photos with Aperture OR iPhoto. Now Aperture is the only option and I can not see iPhoto in the drop-down menu.
I've talked to AppleCare and they don't have a clue yet, but are trying to figure it out. Anyone else having this issue?

There is no way to change this. iOS 8 does you give no control over the ordering of photos and Faces albums for synced albums. Syncing of photos from iPhoto and Aperture with iTunes is not well supported in the iOS 8 Photos.app. It will be replaced by iCloud Photo Library. If you enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), iTunes Photo Sync is no longer possible at all.

IOS photo app vs iPhoto, keywords, smart albums, face detection?

greetings,
i have some questions about iOS photos app in comparison to iPhoto (in 10.8). i've done a little searching on the web and in the forum, but didn't see this covered...
i always sync my iPhone to my mac, copy/import my photos to iPhoto, and use iPhoto to organize my photos. in iPhoto, i tag photos (keywords) and use "smart albums" to access all my photos based upon the keyword tags. face detection in iPhoto is GREAT!.   i have all my friends faces named and finding them by "people" grouping is fantastic. the down side to all of this is that i have everything working great on my mac, but usually i'm using the photos app in the iPhone to show pics to my friends since that is what i have with me. i'm not sure if this information in iPhoto ever gets synced back to my iPhone.
1- does the iOS photos app have any of these features from iPhoto?
     in other words, can i tag photos, lable the faces of friends, set up smart albums in iOS photos? if so, please point me to some info. i haven't seen an obvious way to do any of this.
2- can i sync what i do in iPhoto back to my iPhone?
     in other words, can i get the tags, peoples' names on their faces, and smart albums copied from iPhotos back to my iPhone? is there some setting or command in iPhoto, or somewhere else?
3- i just turned on photostream. can/does this iPhoto data transfer via photostream to the iPhone?
i have an iPhone 4.
i am just about ready to upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6. so if any of these features are specific to iOS 6, please let me know.
i'd appreciate it if you could mention if there is anything special about iOS in the iPad, because a friend has asked me how she can do in her iPad (iOS 6), what i do with iPhoto in my mac.
thank you for any suggestions or advice.

How can I enable the Places and Faces Button in the Photos App?

There is no button in my Photos App which shows Faces or Places. What do I have to do? Do I need to install iPhoto first, and then enable Faces and Places there, in order to have it on the Photos App? I am using an iPad3 WIFI only.

You sync those folders from iPhoto on a Mac computer. Those are "built in" folders in the iPhotos app on a Mac. I don't use iPhoto for iOS, so I cannot comment on whether they exist in the app itself.
Those folders will sync automatically from iPhoto if they have been selected to sync in iTunes. You don't set them up on the iPad.

HT4106 Movies only show with file extension or duration in Photo app

This is really a two part question:
1. Is there a way to get the Photo app to show the file name?
2. Is there a way to get the movie files on my SD card to show in the Video app?

I face the same issue. This isn't a solution, hopefully someone can help with an app. The photos app sorts by file date, not alphabetically. So, on a computer, if you sort those files by date and make a list, you could then use that list to have a better chance of importing the right movie when you want to watch it.
I have kind of the same situation as you. A couple of large SD cards with video files on them that I don't have room to keep on the iPad. What I ended up doing was I found a program that allowed me to edit the creation date and time for the file, and once all those were the same, the ipad then defaulted to alphabetical and I could then have a list and count down, find the 5th file, import it and have it be what I wanted.
So not the solution you're looking for, here's hoping someone has one for you, but a different work around if things don't pan out. I also be interested in an app that allowed me to see the file names.

Photos app did not open my iPhoto library

I searched the forums but didn't find an answer...
I recently upgraded to 10.10.3, looking forward to trying out the Photos app. My understanding is that on the first launch, Photos should open up the existing iPhoto library. However, I had my iPhoto library outside of the Home>Pictures folder. Additionally, while Yosemite was updating, one of my kids plugged in their iOS device, causing iPhoto to open when I previously had it closed. In any case, when Photos opened, I didn't get a dialogue to use my existing iPhoto library, and there was just a blank library. I went to Preferences, and there is an area that shows "Library location", but there is not a button for me to select the iPhoto library. The button just says, "Show in Finder", which brings me to the Finder.
Aside from manually dragging and importing several thousand photos over from iPhoto to Photos, is there a way for me to have Photos use the existing iPhoto library? Thanks for any help on this!

Doing this does not allow me to select my iPhoto library. It is greyed out.
And that is good so. Importing a photo library would create a mess of duplicates - thumbnails, previews, faces ...
You do not import a library, you open it.
To switch between libraries hold down the alt/options key ⌥, while you double click the Photos icon to launch it. That will show the library chooser panel. Just like in iPhoto.
Select your iPhoto Library to open.
Once Photos has upgraded your library open the Photos Preferences and make the new library your System Photo Library. Only the System Photo Library can use iCloud and id visible in the Media Browser in other apps.
After upgrading the iPhoto Library, you will find it renamed with "migrated" in the filename extension. And about the same size as the new Photos library. Don't delete the old iPhoto Library, in case you need to repeat the migration, if their should be issues. First test it thoroughly.
The Photos Library is sharing the media files with your iPhoto Library using hard links. so no additional storage is required for the second library.
Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support

Photos app stuck on 'downloading x of y'

Hi guys, I had to restore my iPhone 4S yesterday, whilst everything seemed fine at first I noticed that in the photos app it shows 9 pictures with the message "Downloading 9 of 63" yet nothing happens, I cant take photos or screenshots as when I do I go to the app and they're not there.
I'm not sure exactly whats happened or how to fix it.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

I too ran into this problem after trying to setup a new iPad by restoring from my old iPad's iCloud backup: Photo's app said, "Syncing x of y," and was stuck for more than a month despite hard resets, killing apps, etc. After calling AppleCare, they hinted that the only way they know to solve this problem is by doing a wipe and restore which I did not want to do. So while my AppleCare representative was consulting with a colleague, I tried one last thing which ended up working for me (please keep in mind that I had not sync'd my new iPad with my computer until this point, but this may work even if you have already done so):
Open iTunes and find your Preferences, then in the "Devices" tab, make sure to check the box next to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically".
Plug in your iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch into the computer and transfer all your photo's to the computer, then remove the photo's from your iDevice (iPhoto will automatically give you the option to remove the photo's you just imported from the device). Your Camera Role Album should now be empty on your iDevice.
To be safe, since we are about to sync with iTunes, click "File" --> "Transfer Purchases from [iDevice Name]".
Now in iTunes, after clicking on the name of your iDevice in the left-hand column, click on the Photo's tab and put a checkmark next to, "Sync Photo's from [your default photo application name]" and next to "Selected albums, Events, Faces, and ...."
Now choose a small album that is not already showing up on your iDevice. This way, the computer will try to remove the presumably corrupted album and add the album you chose.
Hit Apply, and let iTunes finish syncing with your iDevice.
If the "Syncing x of y" message disappeared, congratulations and remember to restore any of your syncing preferences that you might have altered following these directions, namely whether to automatically sync your iDevice when connected to the computer and which photo albums or events you want synced.
Please reply to this post if this worked or did not work for you so that we can determine if these steps will work for others.

Applescript, the new Photos app and Instagram

I'm using applescript to add images to the new (Yosemite) Photos app. I'm using the following code:
tell application "Photos"
     set ImageFile to POSIX file "~/photos/test.jpg"
     set DestinationAlbumName to "Instagram"
     if not (exists container named DestinationAlbumName) then
          make new album named DestinationAlbumName
     end if
import ImageFile into container named DestinationAlbumName with skip check duplicates
end tell
On the face of it this all works just dandy; album is created if it needs to be, image comes in fine. However, heading on over to Instagram, iphone of iPad, when I look for the image I've just added it's not there, nor is the album. It's in the Photos app on the phone and tablet, just Instagram refuses to see it.
If I add an album with an image in it by hand, Instagram sees it.
Apple have precious little to offer by way of examples on this, does anyone have anything to offer?
Thanks.

If I delete then create the folder by hand back on the Macbook where I ran the script, I can then see it when I browse the Photo library back in Instagram.
Try doing that and then running a script to get the properties of that folder.
tell application "Photos"
properties of container named "Instagram"
end tell
Look at the result. Then delete that folder, run your import script and create the folder, then get the properties again. Compare the two property lists. Is there any difference?
