HT3442 Why do my Faces keep disappearing?  Help!

I just upgraded to iPhoto '11 and am trying to organize my faces however they have disappeared on 2 separate occasions and I've needed to start over.  What could be the problem?

Perhaps I didn't explain the fix correctly in my response.  While everything seemed to get back working properly, the repair did not actually bring back the faces and identification that I had already done the first time around.  I was able to start over and identify all the faces again --- that's what seemed to work for a couple days until it happened again.  I was not doing anything differently than normal use and iPhoto didn't crash, I just closed it down and when opened it up again, the faces were gone.  I am using an internal drive.  ( I do have everything backed up on an external drive but it's not what I use on a daily basis and has not been connected during these issues.  I appreciate the responses.

  • Why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre?

    I've only noticed this since upgrading to iOS 7.1 and I can't find any answers anywhere on the Internet. As the title states: why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre? Usually after an hour or two. The badge on the app icon will stay and if I get another message, the new one shows up in Notification Centre, again just for a while.

    Salvizuno -

    thanks!

  • Why does my cursor keep disappearing in the Google search bar?

    When using FF or Google Chrome, I've noticed that my cursor keeps disappearing when using the Google search bar. I've tried using all the about:config tips, I've downgraded to earlier versions, I've pressed F7, I've unchecked the "hide cursor while typing" option in my mouse properties, I've checked for driver updates, I've tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, and I've checked another computer in our home as well. Same thing there. This seems to have become a problem in the last few days. IE seems unaffected by it. Just FF and Chrome.

    No sir, there are no other tabs open, when it happens. For now, I've found a workaround, and I invite you to test it yourself.
    I've been working on this problem all day. I've noticed that the cursor blinks very slowly in the Google search bar. If you press a key while the cursor is blinking "off", it will stay off until you let go of what key you're pressing. Conversely, if you press a key while the cursor is blinking "on", the cursor will remain visible as you type.
    In IE, the cursor blinks much more rapidly, and blinks more "on" than "off." As a result the cursor remains on, no matter what you type or when, or what key you press, including the spacebar. This is not the case in FF or Chrome.
    It was suggested in the Google forums that disabling "autocomplete" has helped with this problem. I followed the instructions and successfully disabled the "auto-complete" feature on Google. When I did that, I immediately noticed that the cursor blink speed doubled, like what I'm used to seeing. Further, no matter what I did, the cursor did NOT disappear anymore.
    The link for google with autocomplete disabled is http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0
    Go there and see if you notice a difference in the blink speed of the cursor. On my computer, the difference is drastic. While I do enjoy "auto-complete" and will miss this feature, I generally don't rely on it, and much prefer a consistent cursor.
    I greatly look forward to your feedback on this. If you figure out a way to have Google work normally without this workaround, I will be forever in your debt.

  • Why do my podcasts keep disappearing after I download them to my computer.

    Since updating iTunes to the newest version, I have been having problems with my podcasts.  Specifically, my episodes keep disappearing.  The first time I figured it was a fluke, but it happened again and again.  Every time I close iTunes and open it again, the podcasts have disappeared even though I have all my podcasts set up to keep all episodes.  The episodes are all still listed, but there is a little cloud with an arrow inside pointing down next to each one.  There are a handful of random episodes that are still there (without the cloud and arrow icon).  I searched for the files in my computer's music folder and even the files are suddenly missing and I know they used to be there.  I don't know why this keeps happening.  Is anyone else having this problem and how can I stop it from happening?

    Same problem. I am a daily Podcasts listener, and podcasts that worked the day before will literally not work the next day.  All the podcasts on my iphone will suddenly be broken. This keeps happening to me, and it's most glaring when I try to resume listening to an episode I listened to half of on the previous day. I suddenly get the error message:
    Episode Unavailable: "This episode is temporarily unavailable from [Podcast name]
    This started when I got the new Iphone 5s (iOS7) and was forced to switch to using the Podcasts app outside of the Music app.  And now it's happening constantly to my regular podcasts. The listened to status is also sometimes wrong. Podcasts I've already listened to, and in some cases deleted, will show up again as fresh downloads.
    I have to remove the corrupted podcasts one by one and download them again manually. 
    RIDICULOUS and UNUSABLE. This Podcasts app does not work.

  • Why does my apps keep disappearing?

    Hello, I have a iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.1 and my apps keep disappearing while I download them, but, the 'Install' button still can work. Please help me! (Extra: It is jailbroken.

    Have you setup restrictions in your System Preferences?
    Some setting combinaitions could, for example, allow you to install apps but nor run them (since you have an age limit set up)?

  • Why do my footnotes keep disappearing on my new Macbook Air?

    My footnotes keep disappearing on Microsoft Word, on my Macbook Air. I have only had the computer (and Word) for a week or so. Do you know why this is?
    The footnotes do reappear when I close the document and reopen it, but it means I am unable to work uninterrupted!

    I agree with -Sheridan- that this is an AutoRecover issue.  I write a lot of Word documents with footnotes and never had the "disappearing footnote" issue until I switched to an iMac and MS Word for Mac 2011 (which I bought together in December 2013).  I tried changing the footnote line spacing to "exact".  I tried unchecking all of the Word compatability rules.  None of that worked.  And, the footnote disappearance happened, like clockwork, at the same intervals as AutoRecover was saving my document (every 10 minutes), whether I was typing anything or not. I could tell when it happened because my document text and inserted photos would suddenly shift out of place and my footnotes would disappear.  (This only happens with footnotes of more than one line). 
    I also agree that it is safer to have AutoRecovery on, but I did not want to have to close out my document and reopen it (and realign the text) every 10 minutes so I turned it off.  I hope the maintainers of MS Word for Mac will see this and fix this obvious bug.

  • TS3899 Why do my emails keep disappearing from my iphone?  These are emails that I have not deleted.

    My emails keep disappearing from my inbox even though I have not deleted them.

    I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail.  The mailbox behavior says:  Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked)  store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
    I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

  • Faces/Facebook issue?? my faces keep disappearing??

    im having an issue with aperture 3 using faces and Facebook.... I'm running 3.1.1 so i have to update but i didn't see anywhere in the release notes fixing any issue with faces or Facebook....i have to keep re-naming my faces, and they disappear, it seems related to Facebook in some way. When i click names, the faces are named, but they dont show up in the faces section in aperture. The ones that dont are named, but there name has a little FB icon next to it...
    any help or why it keeps erasing my faces???

    Hey,
    EXACTLY the same problem. Very serious - I'm not getting any emails now. My mail client pings that new email has arrived, but nothing in the inbox.
    @pvonk: It's not a computer email client problem. I tested this on the iCloud webmail: The messages appear for a split second, then immediately disappear, not to be found anywhere, not in Junk, Trash, anywhere.
    Fact is, I cannot use iCloud email anymore. Simply because I'm not getting any email!
    EDIT: I found that a workaround is possible by setting up iCloud to forward all messages to another address. It seems the messages go through to the forward address, while still not appearing in the iCloud mailbox. So this is a way to preserve the incoming messages. Just have to make sure to let everyone know to stop using my iCloud address to send me mail in the future.

  • PS CS 4 my extract filter keeps disappearing - help?

    I'm using Photoshop CS 4 for OS X, and a fortnight ago I d/l the goodies that contained the extract filter, and although the extract filter stayed in place (in my filters) for a time (a short time), after which it has now disappeared. I don't want to have to keep going back to my desktop, choosing "goodies, etc" and replacing the extract filter - now the correct d/l file that I have on my desktop is grayed out - it's PHSPCS4...t_ls1.dmg - so I was only able to select it in Photoshop > Preferences > Plug Ins only 1 time and no longer after that one time (in order to replace it after it has disappeared from my Filters.)
    And when I finally do get that extract back (which I need help with in getting it back as I've been unable to do - see above), how do I make it stay put in my filters for as long as I have my photoshop installed on my computer?
    Thanks in advance.

    What Christoph is trying to tell you is that you actually need to mount that disk image by double clicking on the icon of the dmg file.  The contents of the disk image is what you need to install, not the dmg file itself.
    Thank you so much! I could not understand what Chris meant about that dmg file. I took your advice and double clicked on the icon of the dmg file, trying to install the extract plus filter, but I got this message (see screenshot)
    Next, I tried to open the dmg file > English > goodies > filters, but they're still grayed out (see screenshot)
    Having got my first MacBook Pro in July of 2009, I am still a fairly new, first-time mac user. So you guys may have to spell things out for me, please?

  • Why do my alarms keep disappearing?

    I use google calendars to sync with iCal (4.0.4) and my iOS Cal.
    For some reason, when I add an new event in iCal, there's a spinning wheel next to that delegate in the lefthand sidebar and then when I look at that new event everything is there except the alarm.
    I use alarms a lot, so it'd be handy if anyone could help me sort this out.

    I have the same problem but check this out.  3 weeks after they disappeared from my iPad they show up in my Yahoo email account.  Go figure.  Strange thing is that was the first place I looked when I lost them.  Why it takes 3 weeks to get from my iPad to my email account is but another mystery but I am glad they finally showed up.
    You might try checking under SETTINGS, then under NOTES to see if you have an account listed there, usually either an email account or an iCloud account.  If so odds are your notes might be in one of these other places.  But you might have to check for some weeks......

  • Why do my podcasts keep disappearing from iTunes?

    So I subscribe to a few podcasts, and I've noticed that since the update only the 10 most recent episodes are staying on my computer. The old episodes are still available in my iCloud but I have to waste internet redownloading them, and even when I do that they still seem to disappear. Any idea on how to stop iCloud from messing with my podcasts, or even better turn it off from iTunes entirely?

  • Why does my cursor keep disappearing?

    I can't type it's so frustrating! Every 10 or so letters I type I have to reclick on the area I'm typing to be able to continue. It stops and then makes some stupid sound.  To type this I had to reset the cursor 12 times.
    HELP!!!!!

    Since this is a MacBook Pro, you might ask your question in that forum; this forum is for iMac users.
    You might check to see if the problem still happens when you Safe Boot Mac OS X.  If the problem isn't there when you Safe Boot, then it's probably related to a third-party program or startup item.
    When something is handling keyboard input, we say it has "focus".  When you're typing into a text field, then that field has focus.  If you click somewhere else, then focus moves to where you clicked.  What you're describing sounds like focus is moving somewhere unexpectedly.  It might help to figure out where.
    While it won't solve your problem, VoiceOver can help is figure out where focus is going.  VoiceOver is a program that's part of Mac OS X that is designed to let blind users use the computer, but it also may help shed some light on your situation.
    Open System Preferences, and select Universal Access.  Under the "Seeing" tab, click "Open VoiceOver Utility…".  In the "Navigation" section, make sure that "Initial position of VoiceOver cursor" is set to "Keyboard focused item".  Also, make sure that "VoiceOver cursor follows keyboard focus" is checked.  Close VoiceOver Utility and go back to System Preferences.  Still in the "Seeing" tab of Universal Access, turn on VoiceOver.  At this point, the computer will start talking, so use headphones if the baby's asleep!
    VoiceOver will show an introductory note, and read it to you.  You can just click "Ok".  Now, VoiceOver will tell you whenever the focus moves.  VoiceOver can be tricky in a web browser if you're not used to it, so ignore Safari for this test.  Instead, start a new Mail message, or open Spotlight, or do anything else that will give you a text cursor.  Wait six blinks, and listen to what VoiceOver says when the cursor disappears.  It should briefly describe where the focus has moved to.  For example, if focus moves to the Finder, then it may say something like "Finder, Desktop" and the name of the currently selected file.  If you want more information, you can press Control-Option-F4 (you probably need to hold down Fn as well, since you're on a laptop).  That will make VoiceOver describe what has keyboard focus.  (Control-Option-F3 will give you a little bit different information too.)
    You may want to repeat this test a few times with different programs and different windows to see if there's a pattern.  For instance, if focus always moves to the same program regardless of what's open, then that program may be stealing focus.  Once you've got an idea of where focus is going, you can turn off VoiceOver in System Preferences.
    While this won't fix your problem, it may provide more information to make it easier to figure out what's going on.

  • Why does my library keep disappearing??

    Ok, this is happening on a regular basis - I save all my music to an external HDD through iTunes, but sometimes when I start up iTunes the whole library has disappeared and in the Advanced tab, my file save location has reverted back to the C drive, meaning I've got to reload everything (and as I've now done this a number of times means I've got some files duplicated up to 7 times), and it also takes ages as I've got quite a bit of stuff.
    It only does it on my area though, the wife's area is fine...
    To say I'm getting narked off by it is a bit of an understatement, any help greatly appreciated!
    Oh I'm using Vista btw
