IPhoto faces cork board doesn't show faces

I am running iPhoto version 9.6 on my 2009 iMac with OS X Yosemite. The pictures on my cork board are almost all blank. If I look at individual pictures they are all properly tagged. When I run Find Faces the computer seems to see the faces in the blank pictures and asks me to confirm that the blank picture is who it believes it is. I recently had to have my hard drive replaced by my local Apple store AND they upgraded my OS when they did. I suspect that the cork board is not finding the correct file but it appears to just be the cork board. Furthermore, the area to the right of the cork board says 617 faces and 6,853 photos, 21 videos, 12.5 GB so it's referencing something. When I run Find Faces it will show about half of the pictures and when I tag faces they DO show up in my cork board. Thank you in advance for any solutions or help you can provide. I am only reasonably computer proficient so please provide a clear roadmap to the solution if you have one.

That sounds promising. Where do I find the iPhoto library?
If you only have one iPhoto Library, you can simply launch iPhoto while holding down the options-command keys. Keep holding down both keys until you see the Library First Aid panel.
iPhoto will then repair your current iPhoto Library.
By default you will find your iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder. It will show with an icon like a fan of Pictures.

IPhoto: title of book doesn't show in the layout preview although a picture and headline was created. What do I do wrong? All other photos show in the preview normally?

Created a 70 page photo book and now the title including subtitle doesn't show, but seem to be there, because the photo is ticked to be the title. Now I am scared to get a beautiful grey title instead of the table mountain in SA: Do I need to be worried?

Try the following::
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later -run Option #4 to rebuild the database

"Add image to iPhoto Library" in safari doesn't show up anymore!

Hey, I got a problem with my computer. Normally, When i right click an image, a tab window shows up with an option to "add image to iphoto". Now it doesn't come up anymore. Please tell me how to fix this!

Well given that we don't know what version of OS X you're on, what version of Safari you're using and it's the iPhoto forum and not the Safari one, the best I can suggest is that you try repair permissions with Disk Utility

Old PBG4 17 with new logic board doesn't show "built-in" AirPort

I just replaced the logic board in my summer 2003 PowerBook G4 17" which should have standard built-in AirPort. But when I go to Network, AirPort doesn't exist.
Does anyone know what the problem/cause may be? Did I miss re-connecting something? Or is the AirPort built into the logic board and the new one just didn't have one???
Please tell me before I take it a part again...
Thanks in Advance!

I've tried to reset all of them and now only the Extreme shows up in the Airport utility.
But I can find the Expresses as Wireless Clients. Somehow the Extreme doesn't recognise them as Airports.
With my PC I can access them all through Airport utility and they are well whithin range and respond to changes I make to the settings.
It must be the settings of the Extreme that's I've messed up.
I'll try another reset and start from scratch, again...

OS X Mavericks iPhoto not installing/updating, doesn't show in updates

After updating to os x mavericks I couldn't accessing iPhoto and when trying to update iPhoto suddenly vanished from the Updates section in the App Store. When I searched for the app the option to update changes between "Update" and "Installing". Has it updated? Is it installing? What is happening?
I am terrified I've lost all my photos! Advice would be much appreciated!

It's doing exactly what is says - installing.

Video clip doesn't show

When I connect my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40 camera to iphoto 2009, the video doesn't show to be downloaded. I'm wondering if there is any thing that can be done to make the video show to allow me to download.

Don't shoot AVCHD Lite. If you are going to shoot that then you'll need to use iMovie to edit and process it.

Canvas doesn't show

I have a swing gui with (among others) a JPanel that's supposed to show a chess board. For testing purposes when designing the gui I used an ImageIcon of the board, and put it in a JLabel on the JPanel:
ImageIcon board = new ImageIcon("board.gif")
JPanel boardPanel = new JPanel();
boardPanel.add(new JLabel(board));
// add the boardPanel to the GUIThis worked nicely, the board did indeed show up.
Now however I switched to a custom JPanel, which contains a Canvas, on which the board is drawn:
ImageIcon board = new ImageIcon("board.gif")
BoardPanel boardPanel = new BoardPanel(board);
// add the boardPanel to the GUI
// BoardPanel class:
public class BoardPanel extends JPanel
   public BoardPanel(ImageIcon board)
      BoardGlyph boardGlyph = new BoardGlyph(board);
      setLayout(new BorderLayout());
      add(boardGlyph, BorderLayout.CENTER);
// BoardGlyph class:
public class BoardGlyph extends Canvas
   private ImageIcon boardImage;
   public BoardGlyph(ImageIcon boardImage)
      this.boardImage = boardImage;
   public void paint(Graphics g)
      super.paint(g);
      if(boardImage != null)
         boardImage.paintIcon(this, g, 0, 0);
}but when I run this, the board doesn't show up. What am I missing here?
TIA

thanks, now it shows up. But not completely... it's only a very small part that shows - and using setSize and setMinimumSize doesn't work You should use setPreferredSize(...);

Cork board/no faces

I tried to us faces but nothing works. I went to events Dbl clicked a photo,clicked name and no box for facial recognition. In the tutorial I should of had a box and then typed in a name. I had to drag my cursor to the photo before getting a box. After naming a few photo's I went to the cork board and no images appeared. Faces did recognize the same person even after choosing this person several times I was thinking maybe due to a defective HD that I had replaced, maybe when the saved data was replaced into the new HD that something got lost in iPhoto(faces) and now it will not work as it should.I do not use faces often but would like to know why this happened and how to fix it without loosing my photo's. Thanks

My iPhoto is doing the same thing! I have thousands of pictures tagged with names and been using it with no problem for about two years, then one day last week, no people on my cork board, just the "welcome get started" greeting. The individual pictures are still tagged, but there are no pictures on the corkboard. I even tried entring new people but still no luck.
I think that the software still has them becuase on the side menu bar it shows "faces (55)". I am getting ready to upgrade to iLife '11 but would like to get this fixed first so it doesn't carry over.
I have spent hours tagging people! Any ideas?

Re-run Faces detection + Cork board not working?

In some of my albums, Faces obviously hasn't properly detected any faces at all. Is there a way to force iPhoto to re-detect Faces again?
Also, I've added around 100 names or so – but still my Cork board looks like this:
http://i42.tinypic.com/b3q33k.png
I'm running iPhoto '09 with around 35,000 photos.

That won't work for the OP's problem.
Basically, iPhoto does 2 things for Faces. Initially it scans your entire collection for any faces. Some people have reported that trying to mess around with iPhoto during this phase screws up the process. My advice would be to leave it alone.
After the scan FOR faces, you then identify faces and iPhoto will try and help you out with that.
There is currently no option to "re-scan" photos for faces; however, check out this threat at MacRUmors:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=7007848
face_blob.db
face.db
These two files hold data for Faces. Read carefully, backup your photo collection, and try at your own risk, but they've been able to get a re-scan using these files. Be warned that any faces data you have currently will be erased. Also, try doing this overnight depending on the collection size you have. A 20GB+ iPhoto Collection should take at least a couple hours if not more.
Hope this helps, Kalman

I have face time installed on my iMac but when I go to the app store it doesn't show installed and has a.99c price. All other apps show installed. Is this an upgrade?

I have face time installed on my iMac but when I go to the app store it doesn't show installed and has a.99c price. All other apps show installed. Is this an upgrade?

The first thing to do: Make a backup of your iPhoto Library. Don't update iPhoto without having a backup of your iPhoto library.
When I tried I received the following message This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
This error message means, that you did not yet associate your copy of iPhoto (preinstalled on your Mac) with your AppleID by clicking the "accept" button at AppStore "Purchased" page.
First try to "Accept" iPhoto on the Purchased tab and try, if you then can update iphoto from the Updates tab.
Now check the "Purchased" tab. Is iPhoto among your Purchases to "Accept" or "Install"? Then accept and/or install.
If it is not possible, delete iPhoto from the Applications folder .
(don't empty the Trash).
If it is not among your Purchases, open the AppStore main tab, search for iPhoto using the Search field, and buy it from the AppStore. If you already owned any version of iPhoto '11, this purchase should be free, from earlier versions it may be a paid upgrade.
If all fails there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
I can delete the existing software and re-install but I don't want to lose all my photos.
Your photos are in your iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder and not in the iPhoto application. Just back up the iPhoto Library as a precaution, but reinstalling iPhoto will not delete your iPhoto Library.

No faces on the cork Board

After upgrading to the new version of iPhoto. I initially turned off the scan because I didn't have the time to deal with it. Yesterday I went back and started the scan and it ran for 400 minutes but when nit finished there are no photos on the cork board. Is there something else I need to do start using this feature?
Thanks

iPhoto does not identify all the faces and know that there are a certain number of people. It may assume that one face may be person A or it may be person B. It may think that several faces of person A may be different people. This makes it difficult to put the faces on the cork board.
What it has done is identify in the photos what it thinks are faces. Once you start putting names to those faces, especially when you identify several faces as the one person, iPhoto can then start matching more photos to that person.
What would be handy would be a way to see all the photos that iPhoto has identified faces, especially ones where you have not confirmed whose face it is.
The hard part is when iPhoto does not identify a face at all. You have to go through every photo to see if there are unidentified faces and tag the missing faces yourself.

Faces on cork board

I have just started using faces and just noticed that the title picture on the cork board of one of my grand children was not a good choice. How do I change the picture in the box on the cork board.

IPhoto faces playing the slide show started saying "alert photo can't be opened because couldn't find original

Iphoto faces playing the slide show-Started sayin "alert photo cant be oppened because it couldnt find the original.What does that mean?

do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library (that option is unchecked)

I transferred my iPhoto FACES to my mini iPad and: (a) they are not in the alphabetical order I had them in, (b) some of the FACES have been deleted, (c) the EVENTS I checked off in iTunes do not all appear in the iPad?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there.
Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache. Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

Addressbook and Messages not working with iPhoto-Faces

Hey
I've set up ML with an clean-install.
I also set up iPhoto 11 (Mac-App Store updates installed directly after installing iPhoto 11) with my existing picture-library (upgrade of the library on first run was successfully).
My problem: I cannot select any faces from iPhoto anymore. In Lion, I was able to set a Addressbook-picture from iPhoto, this doesnt work anymore
Next, Messages is not showing my Addressbook-picture (currently set one) - but Mail does!
If I try to select a new profile picture over Messages, Iam still not able to select something from iPhoto.
So, where is the iPhoto-Faces integration?
Thanks for help

Hi,
After setting up the iPhone and the Mac they should remain in fairly close contact as the Mac uses the iPhone's Carrier service to send the SMS.
Whilst the setting up does not mention it the procedure looks a lot like Pairing Blue Tooth devices which gives you a range of 30 feet or so depending on surroundings.
Having said that the specs say they two should be on the same WiFi Network (or network that the iPhone is WiFi Connected to be be correct) which would also limit coverage somewhat but larger area than Blue Tooth.
You then have to decide if it is possible your son went out of range of a suitable carrier service or whether your phone was moved too far form your Mac.
If both your Mac and the iPhone are not maintaining the connection it would seem it is at the far end that the issue is happening.
Is your son's phone maintaining:-
1) Connection to a suitable service ?
2) an SMS ability during that connection ?
