How to desactivate faces in iphoto?

Bonjour,
Je viens de m'acheter un iMac. Je voulais transferer mes photos sauvegardés depuis mon macbook sur un disque dur externe, sur mon nouveau iPhoto.
Mais au lieu de 4000 photo's que j'avais, mon iPhoto contient maintenant 17000 photos : parce que "faces" a reconnu des visages et en a fait des doubles.
En plus, pendant le transfert, tous les noms que j'avais donnés à mes photos sont partis : elles ont maintenant les nom originaux, c'est à dire par exemple : img_45 que j'ai bien sur en double, triple ou plus parcequ'il y a plussieurs visages à reconnaître. Alors je recolte : img_45(2) plussieurs fois.
En plus pendant le transfert, mes evenements, que j'avais d'avant, sont classés par dates, dédoublés, des photos sont transferer dans des autres evenements, etc. Alors ou je supprime tout à nouveau et essaie de recopier mon iPhoto original de mon disque dur externe vers mon iMac, mais cette fois je veux au moins désactiver "faces", ou je passe des mois à suprimmer,renommer et reclasser de ces 17000 photos !
Je ne trouve pas comment faire pour désactiver "faces"
Merci d'avance pour votre aide

There is a way to partically disable Faces.  At least prevent iPhoto from creating the many small face image files.
1 - open the library like this in the Finder.
2 - in the Database folder move this file to the Trash: Faces.db.
3 - close the package/folder and launch iPhoto.  Close it after a brief moment.
4 -  open the package, find the new version of the file and lock it via the Info window for the file.
5 - while viewing the contents of the package type Command+F to start a search.
6 - set the criteria of the search to:  Kind is Image and Name Contains "face".
7 - select all of the files in the search results window and drag to the Trash.
8 - close the package and launch iPhoto. 
You will get the faces spinning wheel as it tries to index the library the first time it's opened but it won't be able to write to the database file if you should try to add a face and won't create any new jpeg faces files. Of course make a backup of your library before trying this and no guarantee implied.

  • How to delete faces in iphoto

    how can i delete faces in iphoto 9.5.1??

    When in your photo library, go to the bottom search magnifying glass. Search "face". This should bring up all the files that iphoto has renamed and categorized for you as just the faces in your photos. The file names for the face photos are (file name)_face(number).jpg. Unless you have renamed any photos with "face" in it (I never did), this will pull them all up. Hit "command" + "A" and it will select them all. Then delete.

  • How to disable faces in iphoto

    I am seeing if there is a terminal command to stop with faces running in iphoto?  It is becoming a storage issue with our student mac books.
    Thank you for your time.

    There is a way to sort of kill Faces and keep iPhoto from creating the small faces image files (and to clean them out of the library).  It won't stop iPhoto from doing scans but after the first scan it's not much of a problem.
    1 - open the library like this in the Finder.
    2 - in the Database folder move this file to the Trash: Faces.db.
    3 - close the package/folder and launch iPhoto.  Close it after a moment.
    4 -  open the package, find the new version of the file and lock it via the Info window for the file.

  • How do I get Faces in iPhoto to appear on my 2ed gen Apple TV. The appear on my 1st gen Apple TV with Photos and Events.

    How do I sync Faces in iphoto to iTunes and then to my 2ed gen Apple TV so I can show Events,Photos or Faces on my TV? On another TV which I have connected a 1st gen Apple TV all three appear, so some how the 1st gen is sync'ing with itunes but not so with the 2ed gen Apple TV as I ony get Events and Photos on the TV screen.

    To choose which photos to show on your Apple TV
    File > HomeSharing > Choose Photos to share with Apple TV
    The dialogue box that opens lets you select what photos to send over

  • How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

  • How do you turn OFF faces in Iphoto?

    How do you turn OFF faces in Iphoto? I hate it.

    When I collapse it the face boxes go away, but next thing I know it's expanded again.
    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • How do I get faces in IPhoto?

    How do I get faces in IPhoto?

    You sync photos that are tagged with faces in iPhoto from your Mac.
    iPhone User Guide
    Albums you sync with iPhoto 8.0 (iLife ’09) or later, or Aperture v3.0.2 or later, can be viewed by events or by faces. You can also view photos by location, if they were taken with a camera that supports geotagging.

  • How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How do I get Photos - iPhotos to work with my iPhone

    I have a 2 month old Mac Mini, and noticed a system upgrade available 10.10.3 - I always download all that are offered.  10.10.3 loaded, and I proceeded to open iTunes and iPhoto and plug in my iPhone, All went well until I noticed PHOTOS  I opened it to see what it was and was asked to selected a library as it seemed the only option on offer I did and found a mass of over 3500 photos  in folders that I did not totally recognise, including one of Face photos. It was only then that I noticed a NO ENTRY SIGN on iPhotos.  Thanks to some Mac Forum advice I have now been able to install a new iPhotos 9.6.1 to replace this but I now have a big problem that I cannot edit the photos on my iPad or iPhone.
    I have 10.10.3 installed with iPhoto-9.6.1 - PHOTOS-1 - iTunes-12.1.2.27 & iOS-8.3 on the iPhone & iPad.
    I Plug the iPhone into the Mac, iTunes can see it, click the camera icon I see a list of 30+ folders - 2 are ticked which are MC, it has 19 photos in it and PP, it has 1 photo in it - which is correct for the iPhone.
    In PHOTOS when I plug in the iPhone, a new command appears in the top bar  ‘IMPORT’  click on that and the iPhone icon shows on the left side with a box to tick - ‘open this device’ - click it and the message is ‘NO PHOTOS’. Under Albums I find the same 30+ listed with MC containing 50 photos & PP with 33.
    In iPhoto I plug in the iPhone & it is recognised with a  message on the right , LOADING… and there it stays STUCK but not crashed. Down the left side is listed the same 30+ albums, MC with 50 photos & PP with 33.
    Question - how do I get Photos/iPhoto/iTunes/to communicate with my iPhone/iPad, to update the photo albums as they did before 10.10.3 & Photos were introduced to my system????    Your help please

    Thanks for your help III
    BUT: I really don't get it! About ten days ago or so my iPhone 4s was suddenly able to hold on to the AirPort Express network.
    But then yesterday all of a sudden the problem was back again!!! I didn't do ANYTHING! It was just back out of nowhere! 
    Wi-Fi connection on my iPhone came on... and off... and on... and so on, while my MacBook was working perfectly fine with the network!
    So I reset the whole thing again on my MacBook with the AirPort utility, I reset the AirPort Express and I reset my iPhone... still not working... Honestly this freaks me out. Especially because it worked for more than a week and as I said I did not change a thing!!!
    Does anyone have any ideas how to solve the problem other then reset everything? Or is there an explanation around for this occurence???
    Thanks for your Help!

  • How do I organize my iphoto library on my iphone?  My iphoto library is 60gb of photos and 80gb of video.

    I purchased the 128gb iphone 6+ specifically for the reason of having my entire library of family photos and videos on my iPhone.  Given that combined, my iphoto videos and photos equal over 140gb, I will not be able to fit them all on my new iPhone.  I would like to have all of my photos on my iphone, which current works.  But how can I organize my iphoto videos on my iphone?
    I have taken the time to organize my entire iphoto library by putting all of the content into events.  In the iTunes tab "Photos", I select to sync all photos and events from iPhoto but I leave "Include videos" unchecked. If I check "Include videos", then I won't have enough room on my iPhone for the 140gb of iPhoto content.  I created an event in iPhoto call, "Choosen video" to grab only those videos that I want. 
    If I choose in the iTunes tab "Photos" and select the option sync photos from "Select albums, event, and faces...", I will still want to include all of my events for all of the photos of my family and also select the event "Choosen video" that I created.  But that "Choosen video" event will not have any content because I did not choose the "Include video" option in the Itunes "Photo" tab.  It seems that Videos are either all or nothing.
    Is there a way that I can have all of my photos in events syncd to my iPhone yet only sync certain videos so that I do not run out of room on my iPhone?

    You could import selected videos to iTunes, and then sync the videos from the iTunes library.
    Or move the videos, that you do not want to sync to your iPhone, to a different iPhoto Library.
