IPhoto changing the names on already tagged faces

I've already tagged several faces in my iPhoto library but in some pictures, iPhoto has changed them to someone else's name. I've changed it back several times but for a few photos it just keeps changing it to someone else again (and not always the same person!). There are also some faces it keeps asking me to identify even after I've identified them several times. I've even tried deleting the face tag and retagging it but that doesn't work. Anyone else run into this problem?

Right click and then go to show info and change the song name there.

  • Can you please help me change the name of my device in iPhoto?

    I am trying to find out a way to change my new sony dsc-h70 camera from "no name" to it's proper name in iphoto. I've googled it, but cannot find any information other than you can change the name in Finder. I cannot figure out how to do this and have been working on it for half an hour in Finder with no luck. Everything works the way it is supposed to, photo's import, etc., I'd just really like to change the name. Can someone please send me step by step instructions? Thanks

    Take the memory card out of the camer and put it in a card reader.  When it mounts on the desktop select it and try to change the name.  However, that might make it incompatible with the camera.  You'll just have to try and see.

  • I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
    And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

    PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

  • Can we change the name of a resposibility which is already defined custom

    Hi All
    I have adoubt that can we change the name of a resposibility which is defined customly,if yes how?
    Thanks
    Praneeth

    Just some small addition,
    The responsibility name change could have problem if you have the resp name hardcoded in your conc program parameters, or harcoded inside your code (host,pl/sql, reports, etc). So you should change it accordingly, or don't hardcode it, instead pass the responsibility name or id from the concurrent program parameter by passing from the profile values. The recommended way is to passed the RESP_ID instead of RESP_NAME.
    However if you passed on the RESP_NAME profile value it should be fine unless it is a scheduled concurrent request, you will need to cancel it and re-submit the scheduled request so that the parameter will take the new resp name.

  • How do I change the name of the Home folder OSX 10.9

    Hi there,
    I am trying to change the name of the Home folder on my Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9  I had a clean install of 10.9, and used migration assistant to restore my settings from a Time Machine Backup. 
    The problem is that the Home folder for my user is now named "Cody 1" when it used to be "Cody".  This seems like a minor issue, but all the programs that reference data in the old location, are forcing me to go and find the data manually.  Everything from iPhoto to VirtualBox, all files have to be found manually. 
    I have tried the instructions set forth in this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1428, but the dialog that should, according to the article, allow me to redirect the account to the existing folder, returns an error saying that the user name is already in use.  There is no option to use the existing folder.  I have tried re-naming the folder to something different, to no avail. 
    Ideas?
    Thanks in advance. 
    -Cody

    The Apple Support document you referenced is cumbersome, outdated, buggy, and too likely to result in the sort of problems you described.
    It may be too late now but see the following:
    Niel's post here: How to change name of home folder
    and:
    Apple Support Communities contributor Pondini found an astonishingly simple way to accomplish what you seek. etresoft distilled that information into the following User Tip:
    Changing user account short name
    Note that he writes it has been tested on Mountain Lion but the procedure appears sound and should work equally well with Mavericks.
    Back up your system before doing either one.
    To fix what happened might be possible in Single user mode. I don't have specific instructions but you should be able to find and delete user accounts in the /Users directory.
    Type carefully and don't proceed without knowing the risks.

  • Cannot backup my files / copy my files and folders due to error message " The operation can't be completed because an item with the name ".DS_Store" already exists. "

    Hi Apple community!
    I have a [rather worrying] problem.
    When I try to copy all my files from my documents on my mac [or the entire documents folder] into an external drive, I get this error message
    " The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “.DS_Store” already exists. "
    I am not given an option to skip this file or anything else.
    But I simply cannot complete the operation!
    I have tried deleting a few of the .ds_store files, [both in the original and in the destinations]
    but no success.
    The same thing keeps happening.
    At first, this was just happening when I was trying to backup to my dropbox folder [the one on my mac's harddrive, which gets synced to the cloud],
    but then I tried to back up my documents to my external hard drive, and I realized it is giving me the same error message.
    So effectively, it seems I cannot backup my files anywhere!
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How do I change the name of my Apple ID and iCloud account?

    I want to change my Apple ID to a @me.com or a @apple.com account cause right now it's an ugly hotmail account.
    I did read this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40. But it is not helping me.
    When I change my e-mail to my @me account it gives an error. So what account should I use? Do I have to make a new one?
    Tristan

    I already got an iCloud account which is named the same as my Apple ID but I want to change the name of it to another e-mail account from Apple. So I need a new e-mail addres. Where can I make a new e-mail account? When I've got a new e-mail addres then I will use that in stead of my hotmail account.

        Hi there, ronyme! Thanks for reaching out about your iPhone 4s. It's a great device. I can see you bought it from your cousin. Have you already taken possession of it? If so, are you in the United States or have you taken the device to Jordan or another country?

  • What will happen if I change the name of my Apple Id?

    I have only one Apple Id, which is my email address "[email protected]". My Apple Id and primary email are the same. I now have a new email address, and want to change my Apple Id to my new email address. I've been to the Apple Id support page, and have found out how to change the Apple Id on the Apple Id support webpage. I've been reluctant to go through with the process, because I'm unsure as to what the consequences will be if I change my Apple Id. I have an iPhone and an iPad as well as two Macs and an Apple TV hooked up to my Apple Id. My iMac is the main computer used for storing all files and syncing my iOS devices. In addition my contacts and calendar is in the iCloud. I hope someone with the know-how or experience can help me answer the following questions:
    1. iPhone and iPad: Once I change my Apple Id, have I understood it correctly when the next thing I do is that I go to General settings -> Store, and sign out from my "old" Apple Id, and then sign in with the new name for my Apple Id? Will my previous purchases of music, ibooks and apps be connected to the new name of my Apple Id, and will I still be able to get previously purchased apps updated? As for iCloud, what must I do on my iPhone and iPad to make sure that contacts and calendars keep in sync?
    2. iCloud: Will changing the name of the Apple Id on the Apple Id support webpage be the only thing I need to do, or are there more steps to follow?
    3. iMac and MacBook Pro: Am I right in assuming that all I need to do is sign out from the old named account and then sign in with the new name in AppStore, iTunes, FaceTime and Messages app? Is the Apple Id in use by any other apps or functions?
    4. Apple TV: Once my iMac is up and running with the new name of the account, I sign out from the old named account, then sign in with the new name, will streaming music and photos etc. work just as before the name change?
    5. I still haven't activated Mail in iCloud. As I understand, once you do that you will be prompted to register a @me.com or @icloud.com email address. Will this address now be possible to use instead of my new email address as the name for my Apple Id?
    A lot of questions, still I'd be grateful for some answers.

    Hi, everyone,
    I just began to use TM to back up my mac. I already have a full backup. Now I want to exclude some folder from backup. I can do this in the option dialog of TM. But I wonder what will happen after I add a new exclude folder. Will TM begin to build a new full backup or just continue to back up incrementally from the older full copy? Thanks.
    Time Machine will continue to do incremental backups.
    It won't immediately delete previous backups of the items you exclude (but it will, eventually). You can do that yourself, if you want, per #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

  • How do I change the name of a photo in Photos for OS X?

    In Aperture and iPhoto there was a simple batch change function, which even allowed me to change the name of the original file, and add an index number to the end of the name if I wanted to use the same name for multiple images. I can't find the equivalent in Photos. Is it possible in a simple and easy fashion?

    Right click it, go to Properties and then change it there.

  • IPhoto changes the original creation date to 12/31/1969

    Hi folks, this is a problem I have been trying to resolve for a very long time.
    I have a large collection of pictures that I took with a Palm Zire 71 and Zire 72 going back to 2003. Every time I import the files with iPhoto (File > Import to Library), iPhoto changes the original creation dates of the jpgs to 12/31/1969. I have tried many different things... most recently I burned the files to a CD, confirmed that the original creation dates were still in tact, and tried importing with iPhoto right from the CD. I got the same result... all photos with the date 12/31/1969. All photos completely disorganized because of Palm's less than great file naming structure. I need to keep the creation dates intact for the iPhoto books I want to make with them, so changing the file names won't work as a solution. Even changing the files names to the creation dates plus a counter would be very difficult because it is over 1500 pictures. Does anyone else know of this problem and perhaps have a solution for it? Thanks!

    Thank you for the suggestion TD. But the Batch doesn't help in this case because so many of the photos were created on different days. I would still have to manually go into each of the creation dates and change them back to the original.
    That's just not feasible for 1500 files. iPhoto shouldn't be stripping the files of the creation dates at import to begin with. I'm hoping to find a way to get the import process to work properly for these files. The weird thing is that iPhoto doesn't seem to do this to files create on a more typical point and shoot camera,
    but only on these Palm files.
