Naming photos in iPhone's "Faces"

Hi,
I'm in the processing of placing names to faces in the "Faces" area of my iPhoto library.
How can I permanently delete certain names that come up as possible selections?
I don't know how those names got there, but they are for people I have no photos of, but yet the names come up as naming options, even when the most photos in my library of of another name.  For example, my name is Judy, and I have hundreds of photos in my library of me, that I have identified by my first and last name. But whenever I want to add my name to new photos of me (or old ones not yet imported to my iPhoto library) the name of another Judy comes up as the first naming option. This is very annoying, as I have no pictures of this other Judy at all.

In case anyone comes across this thread, I actually tried everything I know. Force quit app, restarted phone, etc. But on a fourth restart of the phone, itself, this problem fixed itself eventually.
Haha. No one can ever answer my questions. Probably because I know how to fix 99% of things and I only ask when it's one of those rare and bizarre glitches that only rarely happen. Please don't delete this post just because no techs replied. It may help someone having the same rare glitch.

  • Backup photos from iphone to iphoto with face recognision

    I recently changed my harddisk on my macbook pro, fresh installed os x, updated to mountain lion.
    I know most ppl would say I can transfer my data from time-machine, which I could. But my previous disk was backedup from my old old mac, 5 years ago, there is a lot crap on it which I don't want, etc.
    Anyway. so I have the new system, and installed ilife. Then here is an issue:
    - you can import all your photos from iphone to iphoto without problem,
    - but all the face recognition and locations(for each album) defined on my iphone are't imported
    So my questions is: how?
    Also, it would be very handy if we can import apps from iphone to itunes? If you can, not sure how?

    I think you are asking, "How do I transfer Iphoto albums to my MacBook?"
    If so it will cost you. Ive been told by Apple Support that your iphone photos albums are merely a mirror of the original photos. It is not an extra copy or a back up.
    You can get a third party software from http://www.ecamm.com
    Its called "PhoneView" There is a free version and one for 19.99.
    I ended up getting both. It sure beats email all those cropped photos I put in albums to myself.
    That would have taken forever so the 19.99 is worth it. Good Luck!

  • I downloaded the ios8 and now my photos in events and faces are no longer in alphabetical order on my iPhone.  How can I change the view?  (My iPhoto is in the correct order.)

    viewing photos on iPhone 5 with ios8 - change back to alphabetical order

    Seems like a bug that I hope Apple can fix soon.  Does anyone from Apple scan these boards?
    Occasionally.
    But it is much safer to send feedback using the feedback form, if you want the developer team to see your feedback.

  • How to not use Face naming to help detect further faces?

    HI,
    My question may sound funny.
    My understanding is both iPhoto and Aperture use detected face in helping detect other faces. That's what the help suggest, in identifying more face it facilitate the detection.
    In many photo you would have someone visible and would want to identify her/him. by doing so I would use anything but the face, the back of the head or other part of the body that is visible.
    If Aperture/iPhoto would then use that added image to improve face detection with nothing useful, it would make it even less efficient!
    Are their other way to identify someone and have it in the Faces without affecting the faces definition the the software seem to be building? tag not to use the face for further detection for example.
    Vincent

    See my answer to your duplicate question.
    Re: How to not use Face naming to help detect further faces?
    Naming body parts will not hamper the face recognition algorithm. iPhoto will ignore manually added faces, see this link:

  • How do I stop Photos on iPhone from creating double albums?

  • Syncing edited photos to iPhone and iPad

    I use the "sync all photos albums events and faces" to sync photos from iPhoto to my iPhone and iPad.
    However if I subsequently edit any photos they are not transferred across to my devices when I next sync.
    I understand a workaround for this issue is to delete the cache and resync, however with the amount of photos I have, this would be too time consuming.
    Edited photographs seem to be updated on my Apple TV (1st generation) and MobileMe galleries, is there any reason why they aren't automatically transferred across to my iPhone/iPad?
    Thanks in advance for you help

    That may be a better question for the iPad/iPhone forums - or maybe even iTunes since it is doing the sync

  • Cannot delete photos from  iphone 5 downloaded from pc.  Tried all solutions using Itunes and it doesn't delete them from iphone

    Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc.  Tried the ITunes solution and it does not delete the photos.  Try a second time and Sync doesn't even start

    I see the photos tab and "My Pictures" folder shows.  Sync is unselected.  It asks if I want to delete the photos when I click on sync and I said yes but it didn't work.  It does seem that some photos are removed based on available storage left (decreases).  If I select individual folders, subfolders of "My Pictures" then hit Sync deselected Sync doesn't even start.

  • How to delete photos from iPhone but not iPhoto?

    iPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 with over 6,000 pictures, brand new Macbook Pro on 10.10.1 Yosemite. All my photos are synched to iPhoto, and I want to delete the photos from my iPhone to clear up storage. My main concern is not losing the photos in iPhoto the next time I plug my phone in. Half the things I researched say it'll delete them, other half says they won't. I just want to have a clear iPhone and be able to view my pictures on my Macbook. How do I go about this without wiping my Mac clean?

    As I know, it won't delete the photos in iPhoto, but you can backup these photos on Mac to avoid any accident.
    you can transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac with Image Capture
    Connect your iPhone to Mac with USB cable > Run Image Capture on your Mac > Select your iPhone from the device list if it is not selected > Set the output folder for your iPhone photos > Click Import or Import all to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.
    BTW, you can also try to delete only one photos on iPhone first and see if it will  disappeare on iPhoto to know what to to next.

  • IPhoto on Mac not showing photostream. My photos from iPhone were not on my Mac, I tried to import using cable. Now the photos show in iCloud only.  It seems frozen. On trying to close iPhoto down got message that photos being imported. 6 hours ago

    I have IMac on Yosemeite, 500GB. IPhone 5 on 8.2. My photos, from iPhone, had not appeared via photo stream on my Mac. I had been away from a while But expected the photos to appear on the Mac. There were 1000 in Photostream and 1200 in Camera Roll. I used a cable to import the Camera Roll, it stopped importing after 1000 photos. The photos, though, are in iCloud and I don't know how to access them to put them to Events. There are 3 recent Photostream events showing up in IPhoto withOut any photos. I tried to import to Library but was directed to Finder and no access to iPhoto. I tried to shut down iPhoto but got a message telling me photos were being imported. That's 6 hours ago and I'm still getting the same message. I don't know what to do. I'm not an expert, just a user.

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.
