Faces stops scanning halfway through, won't list any photos at all.

Just bought iLife '09, so I'm a little behind the curve. I started the faces scan, but accidentally closed the program halfway through it, so now, when I start the program, I just have the blank corkboard template.
I deleted the face.db and face_blob.db files to force it to rescan, but now it just gets halfway through and gives up, sending me back to the blank corkboard template. I don't know what to try next, I don't want to delete anything important. My library is crazy unorganized from being like 6 years old, so that might be affecting things. All my software is updated.
Anyone have solutions here?

Greetings,
Love the name.
Is your iPhoto Library stored in the usual location? (User > Pictures > iPhoto Library)
How much free space do you have on your computer?
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
Go into iPhoto and name someone in your library and then see if their face appears when you click on "Faces".
If the issue persists try rebuilding your iPhoto Library following this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638. Use the bottom 3 rebuild options.
If the issue persists after the rebuild, close iPhoto, remove the 2 faces database files again, open iPhoto and then leave iPhoto open until the status arrows next to Faces stop spinning. THEN name someone and go back to the cork board to check it out.
Hope that helps.

I am using memorex CD-R's and have tried with 4 times with different CD's. Is this a software or hardware problem? Any info would be awesome

Export the photos to a desktop folder, right click on the folder and burn to disk - see if that is any different

My downloaded song stops suddenly halfway through. I assume there was a problem with the download. Can I download the file again?? Will I have to purchase the song again?

You need to delete the current copy of the broken track from your library before it will be offered up for download. It may help to close and reopen iTunes.
If the problem persists and you can't get a good version of the file contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Your error is connect to hardware, try these steps to solve it:
Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

SBerman- I am the only owner/user of the phone but thanks for trying on that angle. It doesn't apply but I appreciate your idea.
KiltedTim- Yes, I have encountered an activation lock. The Apple ID should be the one that I use when I go into itunes but that one is not working. I even tried the Apple email/id I got when I first bought the phone years ago and that didn't work either. It is asking me for an id that ends in @me.com and I have NO IDEA what this is or how to get it to "shift focus" onto one of the id's I do know.
Does that make things clearer?

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

HT5934 How do I stop this update uploading to my mobile? Because I can't take any photos at all and the update is using up every inch of my mobile's space,not allowing me to keep all of my photos even though I've not got that many on there in the first pl

How do I stop updates uploading on my mobile please? Because I cannot take any photos at all on it as the iOS update program 7.0.3 is hogging up every inch of my mobile's space, not allowing me to keep my photos even though I've not that many anyway. Help?

Turn off Wifi in settings and then turn it on again; this will pause your device's update from updating.
To stop automatic updates of applications, go to settings, Itunes&appstore, scroll down to automatic downloads and turn off updates
Hope I've helped

If you didn't already do so, try uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components (not just iTunes and AMDS), then reinstall iTunes, as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925. Follow the article and uninstall them in the order indicated.

Photo booth won't take any photos

Photo booth won't take any photos or videos, it opens fine but when I click on the button nothing happens, no error message or nothing. I have updated Mavericks twice to solve the problem, but no joy, I can use Photo booth in the guest user no problem but not as the Administrator, what is it looking for? Is there is a permissions problem?

it's just happened to me too! any chance you've sorted it out? maybe you can let us know how you did it?! no one seems to be responding!

Movie Rented Through Itunes Stops Playing Halfway Through the Movie

I rented a movie through Itunes and halfway through the movie it pauses and won't let me finish playing it. Because I've started watching the movie I only have 24 hours to fix the problem and finish watching it otherwise my money will be wasted.
I cannot skip ahead to a different part of the movie. It always stops on the same part.

Contact the iTunes Store Support Team at this link. Explain the problem and they should be able to help you.

IPod freezes, after restore stops syncing halfway through

I have a 2-year old 20gb iPod that has worked fantastically for the last 2 years. About 2 weeks ago, its started freezing up at random times. I couldn't shut it off, skip songs, etc. I just had to wait 5 minutes or so for it to come back. I restored it on iTunes the other night, but during my reload of songs, it stopped halfway through. So, my iPod only has about 9gb on it. If I try to keep syncing it up, it eventually gives me an "unknown error occured" message and deletes everything on my iPod.
I NEED HELP!

-Try resetting the iPod and try again.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next I would try restoring from backup
It is expected that when you connect an iPod that was synced to another computer/iTunes ibray, the iPod will be erased and its contents replaced with that in the iTunes library of the new computer. An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library.
