How do I pause o r stop faces scan?

About 2 minutes after launching Iphoto 09 the little icon next to faces in my library starts to spin. I assume it is scanning my 39K pictures for more faces. When this happens my imac grinds to a halt. Seems all the cpu is being used by the faces scan. How can I stop or pause the scan?

What a poor and unacceptable answer.
Bo,
Just because you don't like the answer, does not make it poor or unacceptable. In this case, there are no options to turn off the "feature" you don't want. End of story.
If you think there is a better answer, then please feel free to go find out what that answer is and report it back to us and prove as all wrong (entirely possible; perhaps a Terminal Application command that can be invoked to disable "faces"). But until then that is the only answer we have for you, we the NON-Apple employed users like you.

  • How do you get ITunes to STOP automatically scanning my hard drives?

    How do you get ITunes to STOP automatically scanning my hard drives for files? I have a number of audio and video files located all over my computer. However, my music folder is located in one place. I only want ITunes to look there to ad music to my IPod? I don't want to add any videos to my IPod however, it automatically scans for this as well. Infact... I don't want ITunes to automatically scan for anything. Why is this doing this?

    You can configure iTunes to sync only a subset of your music. Create a playlist in iTunes of the music you want on the iPod, and change the iPod sync settings. More info is here.

  • Scanner pauses and then stops mid-scan

    Just replaced hard drive.  Thought the problem with scanning would go away with the new computer. Both computers are set up wirelessly and the print function works like a charm with both computers. The problem is when I am scanning multiple pages, it pauses quite a long time between pages and then stops. I get an error message on my computer that there is a problem and we have to do the scan again.  REMINDER...brand new computer. Same old problem.
    I was on Windows 7 before and am now on 8.1.  Doesn't sound like a Windows problem.
    Thanks!

    Hello @SackyBoo,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to work with you today with resolving the scan issue that you're experiencing when attempting to scan wirelessly from your HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to your Windows computers. Thank you for including that the this scan communication error occurs on two computers. Because of this I do not think this is a Windows issue, or a printer issue. Rather, I believe that there is something within your Wireless network that is blocking scan communication.
    Scanning, unlike printing requires 2-way communication. With 2-way communication the computer and printer 'talk' back and forth as they transfer the scanned image. When you have a wireless network the router may intermittently 'see' the printer as a threat trying to access the network and will block that communication, resulting in a scan communication or scan error. I am going to run you through some steps below to ensure that no security software on your computer is blocking the printer. If the issue persists, I will provide you with the settings that may have to be adjusted on your router to prevent this issue from occuring again.
    Step 1: MSCONFIG:
    Open your Start screen by selecting the Windows button on the bottom left of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl button
    Once you Start screen opens type Run. Click on Run to launch the Run dialogue box.
    If you're still using Windows 7 on another computer you simply click on the Start menu and in the 'search programs and files box' type Run and hit enter on your keyboard.
    In the Run box type services.msc and select OK
    When the System Configuration Window opens select 'Selective Startup' and uncheck Load Startup Items
    Click the Services tab. Check the box at the bottom for Hide All Microsoft Services
    Select Disable All
    Select Apply and OK
    Restart your computer when prompted
    When you computer comes back on please try a multi-page scan again. If everything works fine than either a background program running on your computer or security software running on your computer is blocking the scans intermittently. You would have to enable each startup program one at a time to figure out which background program is causing this issue. I can walk you through this process.
    If the scanning issue persists, than it is not your computer causing the issue. Rather, there is most likely something on your network. Please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Check Router Settings:
    If you're not sure how to check the settings below you may need to speak with your router manufacturer.
    The following ports need to be opened on your router:
    Incoming (UDP) Ports:
    137, 138, 161, 427
    Outgoing (TCP) Ports:
    137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
    The follow settings may need to be adjusted:
    Mac Filtering should be OFF
    Firmware on router needs to be up to date
    Firewall on router may need to be OFF for testing
    Multicasting must be turned ON
    If you're using a dual band router you must be on the 2ghz band. Printers are not supported on 5ghz connections.
    Once these settings have been adjusted please test scanning again.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Should the issue persist, please include the exact error message that you get when scanning stops. I look forward to hearing from you!

    I am reading this post in the iphoto for iOS forum. The iPad does not burn photos to a DVD. Perhaps you'll get some assistance if you posted in th general iPhoto forum.

  • Just downloaded the 7.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. Does this use up data and how can I get it to stop pausing for periods of time?

    Just downloaded the 7.1.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. I'm wondering how I can stream more than just my purchased music?And does this use up data? Also, how can I get playback to stop pausing for periods of time? It is a wifi thing??

    If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
    Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
    If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

  • How do i pause/stop something running in the background?

    I'll try to give as many details as I can:
    I am using an auto clicker program (quick keys x), and I copied and pasted 150 or so of the same mouse recording, each lasting around 5 minutes. I want them to run, but I need to know how to pause them whenever. I didn't change any of the hot key options or anything. The program that is up and running (that I see listed in the top left corner) is google chrome. I want that to stay up while the auto clicker is running. The top right has a thing with a Q, pause symbol, and a stop symbol. That's where it's running, and I want to know how to pause that (or stop if neccesary) without closing google chrome at all.
    If you have any questions on the situation, please ask, I need all the help I can get!
    Thanks!

    I usually just kill the process.  If I know a specific app is running in the background, say "iPhoto", and I can't close it normally, I open a terminal and type:
    ps -A | grep iPhoto
    then i kill the proccess id with:
    kill -9 ###
    where ### is the process id.  you might need to add a sudo before that if root access is required:
    sudo kill -9 ###

    Just let it download and then delete it afterwards! When its done touch it and hold down until it starts to shake and hit the x in the corner to delete it! Hope this helped!

  • How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?

    How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?
    I would like to do so proactively when I am not using a certain program but need to keep it open, and I want to free up computer resources.
    In other words, I want to keep a given program open, but stop it from "thinking".

    There is an application that I can only open a set number of times before it expires.  Every time the program closes, you get one less use out of it.  I want to use it as long as possible, so I thought I would just keep it open all the time.  However, it consistently turns on the fan on the computer, so I imagine it uses a lot of resources.  I got the idea after the Force Quit program "paused" it once after getting overloaded with all the apps I had open.  It stopped the fan, and I was able to open it and run it again later with no problems.  The tricky thing with trying to intentionally overload the system is that it's a hit or miss on which open program the OS will pause (to my knowledge).

  • How do I pause a slide without the playbar?

    Hi I am using Cap 6 and I do not have a playbar on my published project, I have a back and next button, how can allow the user to stop or pause the slide do I need some java script on a button?

    You'll have to use the system variables cpCmndPause and cpCmndResume.  More details about system variables in this  blog post:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/system-variables-in-captivate-6
    You can assign the action 'Assign cpCmndPause with 1' as Success action for the Pause button, but would recommend doing it with a standard, not with a simple action (anyway those variables are not available in the dropdown list of the Action accordion). And to play again it has to be 'Assign cpCmndResume with 1'
    If you want it to be done with one button, create a conditioal action :
       IF  cpCmndPause = 1
       Assign cpCmndResume with 1
    ELSE
      Assign cpCmndPause with 1

  • How do I pause a podcast?

    I'm trying to listen to my first podcast "StarTalk" by Neil deGrasse Tyson.  I run a helpdesk & have plenty of time to listen but get frequent calls.  When I get a call there is no pause option, only stop.  Then it starts over.  This makes podcasts 100% unuseable.  Am I missing something? Or is it really this poorly implemented.

    First thing - is the programme listed under Podcasts in your iTunes Library or in one of the other sections? If it's in one of the other sections, which one?
    Or - are you trying to listen to it in the iTunes Store? I've just tried doing that and I wonder if this is what you are doing. If so, then you're listening to a stream, not the Podcast.
    A Podcast is a "file" (i.e. music, speech etc etc) that has been fully downloaded into your iTunes Library via the Podcast delivery method (or system) before you start listening to it. Furthermore, if you subscribe to a Podcast, then future episodes are automatically downloaded into your iTunes Library as they become available. Once delivered to your iTunes Library as Podcast, the play options are different. You can pause the programme and when you start playing it again, it will resume from the last point you were at. This will happen even if you play something else in the meantime. (See below for futher explanation.)
    However, if you are looking in the iTunes Store, and listening to an epsiode in the store, then that is a stream; in other words, the audio is being downloaded as you listen to it and it is not being delivered to you as a Podcast. In this event, then you are correct, the only option is to stop the audio and when you re-start it, it will start from the beginning.
    Explanation:
    By default, all Podcasts downloaded as Podcasts by iTunes are set to Remember playback position. As far as I can tell, iTunes turns this option on for you, but only if the file is downloaded as a Podcast. (So if you download something, from the internet, described as a Podcast, but not through the Podcast delivery method, it will not have Remember playback position set on.)
    Subscribing to Star Talk is free, so you could try that and see if that suits your needs. I believe it will and you can unsubscribe at any time. The latest episode will download there and then while subsequent episodes will be automatically downloaded as they become available (iTunes will check periodically for new episodes for every Podcast you have subscribed to.) If you want the past episodes, there is usually an option to get them too. Alternatively, if you select the FREE button (at the right hand end of the episode's description) this will download just that episode. You would then have to repeat this for each episode.
    Let us know how you get on. If my answer does not address your problem, we can then look at alternative explanations.

  • How do i pause between looping?

    Hello All
    I'm doing a banner that a clients wants to continue to loop on their web site. How do i pause for about 1 minute or so, before it starts back up again?
    Thanks
    Why_atl
    Mac
    CS3

    quick and dirty:
    create a freeze frame at the last frame of the animation where it should stop (precompose first if multiple layer animation ) >> extend the freeze frame for the desired minute or so >> add to render queue (always use the render queue! not the export dialog! >> set output module to "Animated Gif" - Web Safe or System (experiment for yourself) - No Dithering - Looping >> hit render.
    Klick here
    this is about 57 kb for a 5 secs loop, but it can become huge to load for web if 60 seconds or so.
    therefore
    you also can set output to Flash Video in Ae but in CS3 i cannot see a checkbox for loop paramter.
    FLV will provide you much nicer colors, gradients an motion blur.
    adding the "loop" parameter tags later when embedding into HTML or equivalent Programming Language you can find with ease with google.
    cheers
