How does Aperture Face recognition work

Just upgraded to Aperture 3 --- I'm a little baffled by the functionality of the face recognition. Aperture certainly found most (if not all) of the faces in my collection but I thought it was supposed to be able to actually do recognition (to some extent) so that when I associate a certain face with a name, it would automatically find the same face in other photos and mark them.
I am not seeing any evidence that this actually happens --- I just seem to keep getting fed faces along the bottom that I have to name manually, even if it's a very similar picture that was already seen.
What am I missing?

I've noticed that sometimes (seems like all the time, but I've only done a few imports) when I first import new photos it can take a long time before Aperture decides to search for similar faces.
I can tag a few pics of people in the "Faces View" and then double-click their photo to try to see suggested matches, but watching the "Activity Window" shows no searching for similar faces... I don't know what's stopping it, but it just doesn't seem to even bother searching for quite some time. It's not that it's still detecting faces in the photos (I've checked to see it's finished doing that) — there's nothing in the Activity Window and the CPU usage of Aperture is basically zero. Memory is not full, nothing else is using the CPU, it's just sitting there doing nothing...
And then randomly, suddenly, it seems to remember that it is meant to search for similar faces and does so...
Would be interested to see if others are having similar behaviour, where Aperture just doesn't even bother searching until some event, or some time after importing... Open up the Activity window in Aperture (from the Window menu), double-click on a face in the faces view and see if it starts searching for similar faces... if it's not even searching, then that might explain why you're not being given the ability to match faces. If it is searching, then I guess it's just not finding anything. Also note that you won't get any matches until the search finishes (it can take quite a while to search through the photos for similar faces; likely depends on (and is slowed down by) the number of faces for that person, the number of 'unknown faces', the total number of faces and/or people in your library)

Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled on mountain lion?

I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
I have sticky keys enabled.
When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
Dictation On and Off
To use Dictation, click On.
When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
Shortcut
By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.

I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

How does this IMPORT statement works

can any one tell me how does this statement will work..
I am wokring on Solution manager system , where in there is a function module SSF_FIELD_LIST
to which system passes form name.
import fields to fieldlist
from database stxfcontr(sf) id l_fullname.
stxfcontr is a table which contains value of in a diff
Regards,
mayank

It will import data object stored in memory under named fields to your custom data object fieldlist .
The table which it is stored is name stxfcontr under RELID (memory area) SF .
Cluster key (key of the entry) in that table is behind var l_fullname
Anyhow I think [this link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb3bf8358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm] is more that any explanation. Once you study it, you will understand the above.

How does the verizon wifi work? Do you pay monthly?

I want to buy the new iPad with retina display as a gift, but how does this verizon wifi work? Do you pay monthly or have to call Verizon?

You're post is a little confusing. WiFi signals are not done through Verizon unless you are talking about using a Verizon MiFi hotspot such as this http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?&item=phoneFirst&action=view PhoneOverviewByDevice&deviceCategoryId=13&cmp=KNC-58700000028195084&zipRdr=y.
4G wireless cell signals are done through Verizon. WiFi comes from places such as your home wireless network, or WiFi hotspots at places like Starbucks, restaurants, pubs, etc.
If you are asking about Verizon's wireless cell service, it's $20 a month for 1 gig of data, $30 a month for 2 gigs of data, or $50 a month for 5 gigs of data.

How does the newest Iphone work with Ford Sync?

How does the new Iphone work with Ford Sync? I was thinking of purchasing the 4s but may go elsewhere if there is a better phone for the equipment in my vehicle.

That would be a NO.. I should have done my homework before I switched to IPhone because the Bluetooth just does not want to sync with my Ford Truck. Its such an inconvience. But I see from other posts that Ford isn't the only car experiencing problems. So Hopefully Apple fixes this problem QUICKLY!

HT4914 How does the payment method work for iTunes Match?

How does the payment method work with iTunes Match. For example, if you have a gift card, does it take it out of that. Or is there tax? What if you cancel your subscription in the middle of the year, does it take the money for that year or not? If someone could answer those questions it would be greatly apreciated. And if anyone has their own questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.

Hi HLFrank,
