IPhoto Faces and Contacts.app Trouble

Yosemite (clean install) and iPhoto (MAS) installed and are up-to-date.
iPhoto uses my previous iPhoto Library backed up from external drive (before clean install Yosemite I moved iPhoto Library to external drive, after installing Yosemite I moved iPhoto Library to "~/username/pictures/" folder and launched iPhoto with holding Option key and choosing my iPhoto Library as default).
Then, trying to add picture in Contacts.app I double-clicked photo-field and in pop-up window chose Faces section (which is not gray or absent as it was in some users reports after upgrading to Mountain Lion OS X. in my case the Faces section is normal and can be chosen).
Inspite of my iPhoto Library has a lot of recognized faces the Faces section in popup window of Contacts.app does not contain any of them just advising me to use iPhoto or Aperture apps to recognize faces.
Rebooting and reinstalling iPhoto.app did not help.
Any ideas?

Have you updated to the current iPhoto version 9.6?
I had the same problem and repairing the iPhoto library solved it. (iPhoto 9.6, Yosemite 10.10.1)
After that the Contacts.app showed those faces, that had been assigned in iPhoto using the contact card. So, first create the card, use the name from Contacts to label the Faces in iPhoto, and then assign the profile picture in contacts from iPhoto's Faces.
To repair and rebuild open the iPhoto library with the First Aid tools:
Launch into the First Aid Tools  by holding down the key combination option-command ⌥⌘ and double clicking the iPhoto Library icon to launch iPhoto on this library.
Keep the two buttons firmly held down, until you are seeing the First Aid panel.
Then select "Repair database".
If that does not fix it, back up your iPhoto library and try the other First Aid options as well.

  • Phone and contacts app freezes, becomes slow and scrolling is jittery

    My setup:
    iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.1 (8C148)
    I don't have 3G on my CIM (provider BASE.BE), I can only use WiFi to connect to internet. 
    I sync my gmail contact (mail and calendar are turned off) through the iPhone built in Exchange account connector.
    Fetch new data is off, push is off, fetch set to manually, advanced schedule set to manual.   
    I only turn WiFi on once a day, when I'm home, sync contacts and then I turn WiFi off again.
    Spotlight search is turned off.
    Device runs fine, battery life is great (much better than my iPhone 3Gs), I have about 2700 contacts, no duplicates, updates in both directions, everything working perfectly.
    Then without any warning, or even without any use of the phone, this happens: 
    1) The phone and contacts app becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, remains very slow, scrolling becomes jittery or freezes.  When the symptom occurs both apps have this issue.  I assume because both use contacts.  Both apps don't crash, they just get very slow as if they were trying to do something heavy. This does not happen with any particular event, like getting a call or text message. This can happen even at night without any missed calls or text messages send or received.  The symptom does not affect any other app.  For example when I open the iPod app, scrolling though the long list of music is fast, without any freezing or jittery behavior, while the Phone and Contacts app is still very slow.  The problem does not go away by itself.  Hard rebooting the phone does not help.  I assume the problem is not related to any purchased apps because this can happen when none of them are running.
    2) The phone gets really hot.
    3) The battery drains very fast.  I can go from 100% to 0% in under 30 minutes.
    4) CPU usage (use System App to measure) goes from < 20% to >75% or more.
    I notice the symptom mostly when in the 1) phone app, or 2) I feel the phone heat up or 3) in the morning when the phone battery is almost empty when it was full the night before.
    I can fix the problem by 1) turning on WiFi, opening the contacts app.  Then I see the circular indicator in the top left hand corner turning round.  This takes just a few seconds, to sync 1 or 2 contacts en when the indicator disappears, the problem is gone.  Scrolling is fast again.  Problem fixed.  It can take a day or two and the problem comes back.  Do sync trick again and problem gone again, and so on...
    I can also fix the issue by 2) deleting my gmail exchange account, putting it back and syncing everything back.  But like with solution 1) the problem will just returns after a few days.
    I have even tried a full factory reset and manually putting all my apps back.  But again, when I import my gmail contacts, wait a few days and problem returns. 
    I've been having this issue for a few months now and have done quit some research on the subject.  I'm pretty sure I also had the issue on iOS 4.1 and possibly also 4.0.  I did not have the issue in iOS3.  I had the same problem on my iPhone 3Gs which Apple replaced.  I thought the battery was dying.  Now I bought an iPhone 4, same problem. 
    I purchased many system monitor apps to find out what process was causing the problem.  The problem is that none of the apps I found report CPU or memory consumption per individual process.  So I only know CPU goes from below 20 to 75% and more, but I can't pinpoint which app or process is doing the extra consumption.  But it has to be one the standard built in iOS processes.  I can see when what process started.  And when the issue happens, I can hard reset and don't launch anything, and the problem is still there.
    When iPhone apps crash and you connect your phone via iTunes the crash reports are put on your computer.  I found these logs but because the contact and phone app don't crash I have found nothing interesting there. 
    I have not found a way to trigger the problem on purpose.  I tried adding, changing deleting contact on my iPhone, none of these actions trigger the issue.  The problem just appears at random.  
    I have also not found a way NOT to have the issue.  I've tried not changing any contacts for a few days, but the problem still creeps up. 
    I have read dozens of threads on the internet and only this one comes close:

    I solved this problem by restoring my phone to factory setting. I dint find any solution to this problem. Now instead of using "Google Sync" i use iTunes contact sync which does the same thing.
    The key is not to use "Google Sync" when you restore your iPhone. Follow these steps:
    1. Take back up of everything. Sync your contacts so your gmail has latest contacts.
    2. Restore your iPhone. And set it as new iPhone instead of reloading everything from previous backup.
    3. Sync everything using iTunes.
    4. For contacts go to Info -> Sync Contact with -> you can set up gmail here and it will load all gmail contacts to your iPhone.
    My iPhone is working perfectly after this. I hope it works on your too.

  • Can't see iPhoto faces in Contacts

    Hi! I have a problem and it is that some months ago, when I was editing a contact in the Contacts App, I was able to choose from all the faces I included in iPhoto Faces, but now, I am not having the chance to choose from them. When I edit a contact, I can only choose 3 options: For omission, Recent, and Camera.
    Can Someone help me please?
    Thanks a lot!

    I myself have been confused as to why I could not see my photos when I clicked on the photo menu. I have been using iWeb for about 6 months now and created this web site, www.hopewellhose.com. Well, I read your answer Mark and I say to myself that it can't be that easy right? A little dot on the bottom of the section, drag up and your photos will be there? Boy, do I feel like a putz! It was that easy. This is why this discussion section is so great and the people who answer our questions are fantastic. I'm sure I will have more questions in the future. In the meantime, have a great holiday to you and everyone who are Macaholics!

  • Phone and Contacts APP not working after the upgrade 4.01 from 4.0

    Dear all
    after the upgrade to 4.01 my iphone stop to operate the phone and the contacts app
    when i open phone or contacts the app close(crash) after 1 sec.
    When i connect to the mac i have the following message from itunes:
    "iTunes could not sync to the iPhone"Christos" because contacts are being synced over-the-air."
    Trying to open and change the settings at: mail, contacts, calendar but also crash
    Please help
    Thanks for your support

    This happened to me after I upgraded to 4.0. While the iPhone update offers some great new features it has really done a number on some very basic functions and overall operation.
    I am no longer able to use the contacts app to place calls. I can pull up my contact list but when I select an individual contact, the phone seems to freeze for a second and then crashes. (It might be worth mentioning that I use Exchange to sync my contacts.) While the contacts are all on the phone, I can't access actual contact information for each individual.
    I'm also experiencing random freezes, touchscreen delays, etc.
    I can deal with some minor bugs but not being able to use your contacts to place calls is a huge problem.

  • Calendar, Reminders and Contacts Apps won't open...

    Hello,
    My iMac power cable got disconnected and it lost power interuptedly,
    after starting it back up, i found that neither Calendar, Reminders or Contacts apps are starting up.
    Did a little research before posting here, but nothing helped, I already tried:
    - verifying /repairing permissions
    - running daily/weekly/monthly scripts
    -  Reboot in safe mode
    ANY Help is welcome as i am starting to loose hope,
    and re-installing the whole Os seems a little extreme as a mesure,
    Thanks  : )

    Hello Staraway
    If you are having issues with Calendars, Contacts and Reminders opening up then the next step would be to reinstall your operating system. One thing you can try is if you are using iCloud with those apps, then turn off the settings in System Preferences and open the apps to test.

  • Viber Contacts and Contacts App Sync Problems

    Problem:
    I see all the contacts only in Viber contact list, but do not see them in my contacts app
    Question:
    How to make all contacts from Viber contact list appear in contacts app?
    How do I sync or what do I do, so my dad has his contacts back?
    Me (iPad) and my dad (iPhone 5s) are using the same apple ID, (but we live in different countries), recently all of the contacts from his phone has been transferred to my device. This has never happened before, so I decided he just pressed something that has synced our devices.
    About 1500 of his phone contacts has been added to my contacts - after I deleted them, they were also deleted from his phone. I tried to backup from iCloud (the last restore was 2 days ago, while I still had his contacts), but it did nothing - I still had only my contacts. Then I restored backup from my macbook and the contacts appeared, all of his and mine, but the problem is that they appeared only in Viber and none of them appeared in Contacts App. I tried syncing again with iTunes and iCloud, but got the same old contacts without his, so I had to restore backup again.

    UPD: I've put contacts back to contact book by going into vibe settings and choosing which contacts to show.
    But the sync problem still persists: If I connect to wi-fi or computer it syncs and Im getting my old contacts, not contacts from both devices
    How do I import all, new list of contacts back into iCloud?

  • IPhoto faces and places lost after format?

    Hi all,
    I am about to format my HD to have a clean reinstall of Snow Leopard. Meanwhile I have to say that I have a full backup using TimeMachine. Will the details on my photos (places,faces,rating etc.) be lost after the format?
    Also do I need to pay attention to something specific? Does anyone have anything to advice me to avoid or to do,cause it will be the first time I'm doing it.
    Thank you in advance,
    Nick

    I tried again with iPhoto updater and this time it worked on 2 of my 3 libraries so the albums and folders were preserved. I also had not realised  that iPhoto updater needed to be opened from Utilities folder nad had thought it would work automatically once downloaded (one -to -one in store trainer had not realised this either).
    I then remembered that there was one .mov file shot on my " still "digital camera in an iPhoto album. Once I removed this iPhoto updater worked on the 3rd library so old folders and albums preserved.
    Even then there was one small folder of images which  has not transfered via Target mode. For unknown reasons when I transferred these images from camera to old MCP they were jumbled and not in normal date order. I will try transferring these images to new MBP on a memory stick.
    Thanks for persuading me to persist

  • Password for health and contacts app

    Hello, I just bought an iPhone 4S and found the Health app which looks quite useful.
    However this raises some privacy concerns, so I am wondering if Apple could put a password on accessing the Health app and perhaps also the contacts app?
    When sharing the iPhone to show photos or games, it could be embarrassing if someone saw my Health details.
    Thank you for the great work so far Apple

  • IPhoto faces and screen savers incorrect way round, but photos correct

    Hello,
    I recently got a MacBook pro, and am in the process of organising my iPhoto library.
    I seem to be having an issue where many of the faces are the incorrect way round in the faces view, but when I go to the file, it is correct.
    This also happens with Screen savers.
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    James Rosen

    iPhoto Version 9.5.1 (902.17)
    It was moved to the library by being imported from an NTFS external hard drive, which has now been reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled), the iPhoto library was originally located on the built in SSD drive, but is now located on an external hard drive, due to capacity limitations.
    I am seeing the incorrect face orientations when I view the faces in the faces view of iPhoto, when I go onto a person, some are incorrect orientation.
    But when I click on the files, they are correct.
    |
    They are also incorrect using photo screen savers.
    (These images are for demo purposes only, and the issue is not limited to the photos shown).

  • IPhoto Faces and Dogs

    Has anyone tried using Faces in iPhoto for identifying their dog? I am thinking about doing this. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks!
