Faces is missing so many faces... any way to get it to rescan?

Is there a way to get Faces to re-scan my library (without losing what I already have tagged)?
It took about 2 hours for it to scan my library initially but as I go through and tag, I am seeing hundreds upon hundreds of photos where perfect faces aren't even recognized as a face. Maybe a button to re-scan the current photo? Something. I am not looking forward to manually highlighting and tagging all these photos.
I hate to say it, but so far Google's face recognition in Picasa has been more accurate than this, and I'm using both with the same 17GB photo library.

Ah, this is my thread!
I just spent half an hour reading posts here, looking for people reporting the same lame experience I've had. And here you are. I am also experiencing the problems described in this thread. I'd like to add a concern to the ones already mentioned:
Faces has completely stopped making suggestions.
For instance, my wife is fond of self-portraits. Every now and then she'll take a few hundred pictures of herself for kicks (and mine). These sets of photos tend to be extremely similar — dozens of nearly identical pictures of her pretty face that haven't been even been identified as faces, let alone as her. Yet the "Kim may also be in the photos below" section is empty. Not one suggestion!
I can completely expected the facial recognition feature to fail with many lower-quality pictures, and I would certainly have forgiven that. Low contrast lighting, countless possible angles, foreground obstructions and many other variables make facial recognition an incredible programming challenge.
But I did not expect this feature to fail to recognize many good quality pictures! And I find it hard to forgive the iPhoto development team for this. There's a (really) big difference between failing with poor input and failing with good input. It's sloppy and embarrassing and yet another reason why I'm not exactly tripping over myself to recommend Macs to my PC-using friends.
Sigh.

I synced my iphone to a new pc and it updated and a few hundred photos seem to be lost. Is there any way to get them back?

Hi i synced an iphone to a new pc and it updated and restored the iphone to its original settings. some photos were still there after but a few hundred are now missing. Is there any way to get them back?

restore from a backup dated prior to when you synced to the new computer.
ideally... were you backing up to icloud? if so, erase all content and settings and restore from a backup in icloud dated prior to when you synced. Camera roll backs up I believe and those photos will show back up

Any way to get stats on a project? (e.g. how many cuts)

I have completed a a project which runs at 01:42:00 - a documnetary - and purely out of interest I wondered if there was any way to get any stats for it, such as how many files actually used (from hundreds of hours of footage), how many edit points etc....things of that nature. Is this possible in any way that anyone out there knows of?
Thanks

The video and audio useage stats are in the Project Window Columns.
An EDL will show you how many files are used and how many edits and transitions.

Any way to get iPhoto'09 to recognise existing Facebook albums?

Is there any way to get iPhoto '09 to recognise existing Facebook albums?
It would be nice to have all the previous albums I've uploaded to be listed in iPhoto and all the 100's of people I've already tagged would serve as a nice basis for the iPhoto face detection to learn who my friends are!

This is an interesting workaround, but misses the spirit of the original post. I don't know a way to get iPhoto '09 to recognize existing FB albums, but I agree that this is a serious problem with iPhoto '09.
The iPhoto '09 Facebook and Flickr uploaders have one "cool" feature - they automatically sync iPhotos events with FB "albums" or Flickr "sets", so if you make changes to the photos in iPhoto, then those changes are reflected in the photos on FB and Flickr automagically (this has been working for me in FB but not in Flickr). The more I use this the more I think it's more trouble than it is useful and I wish I could turn it off and just use the old exporters without syncing.
There are problems with the exporters:
(1) the constant syncing with FB/Flickr can get annoying if you're making several changes, if you have a slow internet connection or slow computer.
(2) If you don't actually want the changes to be reflected in the FB/Flickr album (i.e. i delete photos out of iPhoto to make room on my disk for more photos and now the photos are deleted out of facebook) can get not as user friendly as the original Facebook and Flickr exporter was easier and more user-friendly.
(3) syncing is cool for a computer programmer to do, but what if users don't want it all the time? What if I don't want my Facebook albums to be exactly the same as my iPhoto albums, and I don't want to split out all the photos that I don't want on Facebook into separate events in iPhoto? This lack of support for the truly useful & user friendly (if a bit boring) features is a really unfortunate oversight.
(3a) in the old version: i can quickly and easily choose exactly which photos from which events I want to upload to FB.
(3b) as the original questioner mentioned: I can choose whether to upload to into a *new or existing album*. Hands down, this was *the single best feature* of the previous uploaders.
(in Flickr this is of paramount importance since the free Flickr account only allows 3 "sets" - so, since this fancy iPhoto syncing links your events to sets in Flickr, you'd have to create 3 massive Flickr-only events in iPhoto in order to stay within their restrictions. I like to keep my iPhotos events separate, but I'm perfectly happy uploading photos from different events into one of my three Flickr sets. i'm pretty sure i can still do this with FFXporter or similar.)
(3b) in the old version: all the photos i upload are put into a "pending" album on FB so that I can tag people, delete some photos (without deleting them off my own iPhoto), etc. before sharing them with all my friends. I'd like to have at least the option to choose whether they go into a pending album first or not.
(3c) it's further annoying that you cannot browse your iPhoto library directly (from most websites) when searching for photos to upload, you have to export the files first, then browse to where the photos were exported.

All my mails are wiped out 3 dats before .is ther any way to get it back

Is there any way to get all mails back

IMAP or Pop?
Can you see emails via webmail - are they on the server?
When you say all emails have gone, what do you see in the left Folder Pane?
* Is the Folder Pane completely empty? nothing shows not even mail accounts?
* Do you see mail accounts and folders, but all folders are empty?
* Are you talking about just the Inbox or other folders as well?
* What folders are missing emails?
* Did you have all your emails in the Inbox folder or stored in various folders?
* Did this occur after compacting the folder?

HT1212 any way to get pictures off a disabled iphone?

My daughter's iphone4 is disabled after too many attempts to enter her password. Before we reset it, is there any way to get pictures/videos off the phone first? The phone has never been connected to iTunes.

iTunes will not let you access the phone if it's in a locked state. It will pop up with a message telling you, you must enter the passcode on the phone
Do you have a Mac or PC?
On a Mac anyway, iPhones and iPads are different. An iPad will lock you out as you describe, whereas an iPhone will let you sync, backup, and upload pictures without unlocking it.
I just tested it and it worked fine. Not long ago, we tested it the hard way when my son got a mild concussion, the only lasting effect of which was to make him forget his iPhone passcode (we theorize he had just reset it prior to the accident).
I don't know what happens on a PC.

recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(

Is there any way to get volume level of netStream?

Hello,
I want to get the activity level of audio of a NetStream, similar to how you can do it with a Microphone.
In this article,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1442913/as3-audio-activity-level-of-a-netstream
NetStreamInfo.audioBytesPerSecond is said to be the solution.
However, audioBytesPerSecond indicates how many data volume the stream have.
It does not get volume level of the stream.
It is not the same as microphone.activityLevel.
Is there any way to get volume level of netStream?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for your answer.
I will use audioBytesPerSecond.
I've tried SoundMixer class also, but it seems not working on streaming movies.

All my entries in 'notes' have disappeared. I had several different 'notes' entered over the last few months but when I opened the app recently, all of them had gone. Any way of getting them back? This has happened once before but they just popped back in a few days later. No such luck this time.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. I suspect this is your problem
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Any way to get java for my iPod Touch?

I can't access the network at my college because the sign-in page needs java. This is really frustrating. I read about something being done about this in February of 2008! What happened?
Is there any way to get java on my ipod touch?

No, the iPod touch does not support Java and there is no way of adding it.
JavaScript and Java are totally different and JavaScript is enabled by default in Safari on the iPod touch.
Your best bet would be to ask your college to consider a different sign-in page, as technically, there's no reason to use Java, and by doing so they are denying access to many handheld devices and mobile phones which people are increasingly using to access networks on the go.

Do you have a back up?
If not you're into using file recovery software like 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

Is there any way to get my music back?

i bought all of my music/videos from my ipod touch. it then got stolen and i have no music on my computer. however, my account does show my purchase history. my question is, is there any way to get the media content on my computer since i purchased it all?

You do not need a serial number. Select "Music Purchases" then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll see an "Email Us" button which will take you to a form via which you can contact the iTunes Store.
