How come my iPhoto faces thumbnails are rotated 90º?

Hey guys,
I just recently rebuilt my iPhoto library. Now, my photos that were scanned in by hand have a problem with the rotation.
First off, I can understand that they're not rotated at the right angle.
However, I can't understand what's going on with the next problem.
Faces are being detected in the wrong spot! For example:
Clearly, the two people identified are not in the right spots. (Names blurred for privacy; two people being recognized are the mother and the older son.)
I have to go in, manually rotate the photo to the correct orientation, hit the left or right arrow key (to save it), and then come back to the photo before I am able to see that the faces are identified in the correct position.
However, yet another problem crops up. After doing all the aforementioned things, to get Faces to recognize the faces properly, when I exit the editing or info view, the faces which had the rotation issues are now rotated.
I don't know how to fix this one, though. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

regarding why would i want it organised? because thats how im used to doing things.. and regarding iphoto:
i have a folder called ictures" in it i have 4 folders: "pictures in the US" , "pictures around the world", "pictures with friends" and "pictures with family".
if you go to "pictures around the world", you will be exposed to a bunch of folders: "europe", "africa", south america"... and more. click on "south america" and you will get "peru", "bolivia"...
...click on "peru" and it will give you more subfolders: "lima", "cusco"...
click on one of them-u will get a bunch of photos in that specific destination.
why do i need this order? cause i dont want my photos from africa, to get mixed up with photos from the middle ease, or europe..
Wow, that is a LOT of work to get them organized into individual folders like that.
When you organize them in folders, what if a photo fits in more than 1 category such as Bolivia and 2009 and family?
You have to duplicate it and put it into three different folders.
And you can't really see the photos except as a thumbnail in the Finder.
This is what the metadata is good for. Using keywords, events, albums and smart albums and such to very easily organize everything.
iPhoto and iTunes are both managers of the data so you don't have a zillion different folders and wonder where you put that photo of your dog.
Using iPhoto, to see all photos from Aftrica, just type Africa.
Want only Lima, just type Lima.
How about family pix in Luxembourg in 2008? Just type the keywords.
Looking through folders, you'd be digging for a while and everything would be in different folders and then what?
But if that works for you, okay.
I'd rather enjoy looking at and doing something (printing/emailing) with the photos than spend time organizing/figuring out where everything is.
Good luck!

If I have forwarded all of my other email accounts to iCloud. How come emails sent to me are not showing up on my devices? (yes, iCloud is set up on iPhone/iPad)

I was in the Apple Store today because I was getting duplicate emails on my Mac and on my iPhone. So they encouraged me to just use iCloud. I then went to Gmail and changed my settings to forward my email to my iCloud account. I have received nothing on my iPad or iPhone and the emails are just going to the corresponding inboxes on my Mac.
What is going on??

My iphone4 and my ipad mini were synced to my computer, but now I don't seem to be able to see all of my content nor my photo stream. I did see everything there several weeks ago, so I know it worked. How do I access those from my computer. I can't find how to sign on.

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

How come the same apps that are available for my iPhone and my iPad are not the same as the apps in the app store on my mac

I want some of the same apps available on my iphone and ipad2 to be available on my macbook pro app store and to be able to link them through icloud. Is this not possible? If not, why not?

The Mac uses Mac OS X and iDevices use iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps must be written for each operating system specifically, even when the apps go by the same name, such as the iWork apps, they are two ifferent versions of the same app for the two different platforms.
So, as an example, Safari has been written for three different operating systems, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows. And the Safari apps, as similar as they are visually, are not interchangeable for the different platforms.

How come some of the apps are missing from the Adobe Application Manager.

When I downloaded the AAM for cloud it only gave 14 apps instead of the 26 apps to install. What do I need to do to see all of the apps? I have windows 7.
Thanks,
D.....

Branched this out to a new discussion. If you have programs missing it is likely that your computer does not meet the system requirements for that particular application. For example if you are running a 32-bit operating system you will not be given the option to install After Effects or Premiere Pro since they require a 64-bit OS.

HT204406 how come i have songs that are EXPLICIT but when i upload them to itunes match, they are CLEAN??

anyone know how to fix this?

iTunes Match has been making a bunch of mistakes in the matching, like substituting clean for explicit, Spanish versions for English, etc. Unfortunately, it cannot be trusted. Make sure that you have your own backup of all your music.

How come not all my songs are on iCloud?

Just thought this was odd but not every one of my songs in my Itunes library is on ICloud, what gives? Shouldn't the all be stored?

At least one of those not matched to iTunes is a duplicate. There are other criteria too which might affect whether a file is eligible, it has to be better than 96 kbps and less than 200 MB for example.

How can I recover all my Faces thumbnails.

They all disappeared after a major hard drive restore from Time Machine. The photos are still all there but just don't show up in the Faces thumbnail view. All other thumbnails for Events, Photos and Places are still showing. Only the Faces thumbnails are missing.

Wow!! Thank you so much leonieDF. That did the trick. I have iPhoto 9.4.2 so the http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2638 you recommended was very helpful. Using the new iPhoto First Aid utility was a snap and I recovered all my thumbnails in 20 minutes flat! Thanks again.

HT201077 As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others. Only I can see them. How come others sharing this photo stream are not getting the new photos?

As of recently any photos I add to a shared photostream will not update for others and I don't see the updated photos on my other devices. Only I can see them from the device that i've posted from. How come others sharing this photostream are no longer getting the new photos? My iphone (the device i'm adding from) shows 20 pictures in this shared photostream and yet 4 other people that I share this photostream album with and my ipad only show 12 photos. For the past week I keep adding photos thinking people will see them but it just won't update the new ones. Any ideas how to fix this?

You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

Faces thumbnails missing after recovery from time machine

I got a new harddisk in my iMac via Apple's harddisk replacement program. I recovered all my data via a Time Machine backup (from a Time Capsule). All seemed fine after recovery of backup. When firing up iPhoto after the recovery iPhoto asks for updating all the thumbnails (don't know why). After a while everything seems fine - all photos are available with thumbnails in the events view. However all Faces thumbnails are missing - all persons in the faces view are black boxes. I can see that all the faces tagging are intact - when clicking a person I can see all the tagged images as black boxes. When switching the little "Faces - Photos" control to "Photos" I can see the photos containing all the tagged persons all right. I seems like it's only the face thumbnails that are missing.
So far I have tried the following without succes:
Repaired the iPhoto database with iPhotos own tool (holding Command and Option down when starting iPhoto)
Updating the entire library from an earlier backup
Updated the faces database files from an earlier backup as explained in this post
I'm out of good ideas now - can anyone help?

Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I just installed a larger hard drive, and used my Time Machine Backup to transfer my info back to the new hard drive. When I open Iphoto, my thumnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos.I see the photos in my HD. What should I do

I just installed a larger hard drive, and used my Time Machine Backup to transfer my files back to the new hard drive. When I open Iphoto, my thumbnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos. I see the original photo files in my HD. Is there a way to link the Iphoto thumbnails back to the original files?

Use the Firewire cable and t boot the old Mac's hard drive to the new Mac's desktop and transfer your entire iPhoto folder.
Use Disk Utiliy to erase'format HFS+ Journaled your TimeMachine drive and use the free Carbon Copy Cloner and clone your new boot drive to the external, it's hold option bootable.

The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with them?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

In iPhoto 09 Info does not show tags on aperture, time, iso etc. Other tags like place, pixels are shown. There is no little arrow on this info menu to go to full info box. How come ?

How many faces (people) are recommended to "teach" iPhoto '11?

I love this feature, however, I don´t know how many faces (people) are recommended to teach it... I started to tag every single person I knew in my Library, not just my family and close friends, but EVERYONE, even those who I only met once or twice a year... suddenly, I had a really big "Faces" section and I started to concern if this was "healthy" for the programm. So, the question is, Is it OK to teach iPhoto to recognize every single person I know? Or should I just let it "learn" to recognize the closest to me?, Is there an ideal number of people for the Programm to recognize? Thanks in advance for your support!!!!

I don't think anyone outside of Apple can really answer this. But, IMHO, there is no need to include *everyone* in your faces group, just those you want to find later.

I just bought an Ipad 2 how come all the posts on face book with pictures the pictures are blurry?
