How to KILL the Criminals::Faces and Places ???

I hate Faces and Places. They both are useless to me and for many others, and only terribly slowing down iPhoto. I wish I could kill both of them...
Any way to do that ?

For Places just ignore it and in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane set Look up Places to "Never".
For Faces just ignore it as Terence suggested. However, there is a way to disable some of the Faces features so it does not create face files and increase the size of the library. After making a temporary backup copy of your iPhoto LIbrary try the following:
1 - open the library like this.
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.
Click to view full size
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.

Faces and Places in Photo CANT FIND?

My iphone 3Gs just updated lately new version os4.0 ( 8A293 ) weird thing is i cant find the function Faces and Places in Photo do anyone know what happen? Please help thanks

Those are set in iTunes while your phone is plugged in. Click on the Photos tab at the top of the window, and you'll see various sync options involving Faces, Locations, and Events. The Face/Location data must already be on the specific photos you're going to sync -There's no way to add them from the iPhone itself.

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 can I import foto's incl. faces and places?

I know how to import foto's from my MacBook to my iMac. But how can I import the foto's incl. faces and places?

With the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager you can copy photos from LIbrary A to Library B and include exactly what you want:

Faces and Places not showing in photo app on iPad

Before when i first got my iPad I remember seeing the faces and places tabs on the top bar of the photo app but now when I open the app i can only see albums pictures and events. How do I get them back?

So I noticed the same thing you guys are talking about, and it has been driving me crazy. I have a mac mini, with ilife 08. v 7.1.5 i think. I do not have the places and faces in my iphoto. But I do have an android phone that has geotagging. I got photos off my android that were geotagged and put them in an album in iphoto. when I synced that event to my photos on my ipad. the places tab reappeared. The odd thing is, the photos that I originally saw in Places before it vanished are no longer tagged in the map, neither are some other photos that I took with my android that were supposedly geotagged. so no, you do not need only a mac, and no you do not ilife 09 for this to work. I am assuming it will be much easier with ilife 09, but i can life without this feature for $70. FYI. hope it helps

Windows : Syncing photos Events, Faces and Places from Phtoshop Elements 8

Hi everyone,
I buy an iPad yesturday and i try to sync my photos.
I'm a PC user (windows 7 x64) so I try to use Photoshop Elements 8 in order to sync my photo with iTunes as describe in the iTunes manual.
Unfortunatly, I can sync the photo albums only ... but I can't sync events, faces and places information...
Is it normal ? Doesn't PSE 8 support the syncing of these information ??
If this is correct, is there an issue to have a full support in iPad Photo or do you know some app able to sync this ?
Thanks for your replies and excuse my english!
Mathieu from France.

Your English is better than my French.
For the folders syncing with windows pc's Photo albums:
1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.
For the Places; The ipad should display Places information for any photo with geotagging data. This is stored with the photo in the metadata. It is the Lat/Long of the photo. This info must be included on the photo file before syncing.
For the Events, I use separate folders within the master sync folder for each event. (see above).
I am not sure how Events and Faces works with PSE8 or if the method PSE8 uses is compatable with the ipad. iPhoto on a mac works for events and faces on the ipad, based on posts I have read here.

Keep faces and places when transferring pictures

Hi, I just created a new library in Iphoto, but once I did my transfer there is no faces or places that has been setup already in the old library. Any sugestions of how can I keep the same original file with faces and places?
Thanks,

What you've done is export (via drag and drop) to the Finder and then import to the new Library (via Drag and Drop)
This method misses any metadata you added in iphoto, plus doesn't get the Original of any edited photos.
If you want, you can export (File -> Export and check the box at Places Information) with the Places Ino. There is no way to get Faces onto a photo. If you want to get that you'll need to use iPhoto Library Manager

Turning off Faces and Places in Aperture

I have the trial version of Aperture 3.0. I've looked everywhere in the program but cannot find how to turn off the faces and places feature.

You can turn off faces in Aperture preferences' General pane. If you don't click on the Places button (upper right of the main window), then I don't believe the application does anything with Places.

Copying 1 or more photo's while retaining faces and places

How can I copy one or more photos with faces and places information on an external HD and paste this photo(s) to a a mac of a friend ?

1. You can export the pic from iPhoto (File -> Export: kind: jpeg and check the box at "Location Information" and complete the export to the desktop or whereever you want it.
You cannot export Faces information. There is no standard for such metadata.
If the other person is also using iPhoto and it's the same version as yours then you can link the two macs together and use iPhoto Library Manager to move the files and metadata between Libraries.

Album, events, faces, and places

okay so I restored my phone and still the faces and places feature in the photos isn't showing up. How can I fix this or What do I need to do? do I need to set it up as a new iphone

I was going in through my Photos app. Turns out the problem was that Photos didn't think that any of my photos had geotag info. Which is odd, because only one hour before, it thought that hundreds of them did. (If you have no photos with geotag info, the Places tab doesn't show up.)
I'm guessing that somehow the Photos app corrupted/destroyed/deleted or is simply ignoring the geotag info on my old photos. I don't understand why or how it happened, though. Taking a new photo will cause the Places tab to show up, and that single picture to show up on my Places map as a red pin, whereas only yesterday there were hundreds of pins...

Copy Faces and Places between libraries

I am new to Aperture 3. I am creating libraries for our camping trips. Each library will hold well over 1000 photos. I know how to use Faces and Places - the question is, when I start a new library at the end of this year, is there any way I can copy the Faces data at least over to the new library so I won't have to go through identifying everyone again? iPhoto, and now Aperture, have gotten pretty good at identifying who is who. I would hate to have to re-train it every time I open a new library with many of the same players in it.
Thanks.
Wayne

It gives me space on my hard drive. I am new to Aperture, so I am open to other suggestions, but once I get several gig of photos in one library, most of which is for archival use not active use, I move the library to one of my external hard drives - still have access to it but it's not on my hard drive. So far, I have created a new library with 5 years' worth of photos in it. So that's the issue. I know Aperture could fill my entire hard drive and still function. I just like to have room for other apps to work.

How to get the number of decimal places configured for a site column

Hi,
I have a column 'SampleNumCol' of type Number, the number of decimal places to be displayed is configured as 2.
The column conatins a value, but when retrieved programatically is displayed as 5.00000000 instead of 5.00.
I am retrieving this column using listitem.Properties[field.InternalName].
I need to trim the decimals based on number of decimal places configured for the site column.
How to get the number of decimal places configured for a site column?
Thanks in advance,
dhijit

Get the field as SPFieldNumber and then check DisplayFormat which returns
SPNumberFormatTypes
SPFieldNumber numberField = list.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("YourNumberFieldName") as SPFieldNumber;
SPNumberFormatTypes numFormatType = numberField.DisplayFormat;

How to kill the hanged JFrame in swing?

How to kill the hanged frame in swing?
I am opening multiple JFrame and working on them.These frames are plcaed in JDesktopPane.
If one frame is hanged up then i could not work on others .
I need to kill the hanged frame.
Assist me.

am opening multiple JFrame and working on them.These frames are plcaed in JDesktopPaneWell, a JFrame, can't be added to a JDesktopPane, so your question doesn't even make sense.
As was suggested earlier, if your GUI is unresponsive, then that means you are blocking the GUI EDT and the GUI can't respond to events. Don't do this.
Read the Swing tutorial on Concurrency to understand why this happens and to learn the proper way to write GUI code so it won't happen.

Faces and Places are missing on my iPhoto.

The Faces and Places PROGRAM is missing on my iPhoto. I tried updating, but no good. I have iLife 09. :\

Looks like I had '09 at one point in time, then I had a flubb up with icons and stuff. I just wound up updating everything to '11 and Lion.

I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fualt lies at my end or at the other end

I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fault lies at my end or at the other end

If only the language is Hebrew, you should correct it in the Paragraph and Character Styles.
But in such a case I would expect more problems.
If you are a creative cloud subscriber you should additionally install the InDesign version, English with Hebrew support:
Go to the preferences of you CC.app. It is found behind the Gear Symbols on the top right.
When the preferences open, go to the Apps section.
Change the App Language to English with Hebrew support.
Now you can install it. It will install on the very same place where your InDesign program is found some additional plugins, which will give you access to Hebrew functionality, like RTL text. Otherwise you will inherit in the document (and where you copy and paste it from such a document into another one). But now you can change or repair problems.
Now repeatstep 1 + 2, but you need not to install your own language again. InDesign will now, when started, run in the language of your OS (when you have it installed in that language) but with more functionality to handle problems with Hebrew documents.
The same steps you would have to do with Arabic or Asian documents. These languages will also add more plugins. But keep it limitted to those language you need. I have installed it that way, because I get sometime documen where the text flows the wrong direction or the numbers come up in Farsi digit, not in Arabic digits. For such purposes I need versions in languages I don’t understand myself.
