Turning off Faces and Places in Aperture

I have the trial version of Aperture 3.0. I've looked everywhere in the program but cannot find how to turn off the faces and places feature.

You can turn off faces in Aperture preferences' General pane. If you don't click on the Places button (upper right of the main window), then I don't believe the application does anything with Places.

Will we ever be able to turn off faces and places in iphoto?

Will we ever be able to turn off faces and places in iphoto? Ever?

Thanks for the response. I was hoping I'd just missed where to turn off faces. Yes, I can ignore, but it's annoying when it's constantly asking me for the names of light/shadow patterns that have nothing to do with people (most of my photography is not of people). I'd forgotten places can be turned off, and apparently I do have it turned off, but I still get the box with the world map open all the time.
Anyway, thanks for your help!

Turned off Faces and all map options disappeared

I was working on a brand new Aperture 3 Large size "Stock Book". I had about 300 pictures arranged on about 70 pages. I don't need/use the Faces option so, at one point today, I turned it off in the Aperture preferences. This caused my book to loose all of my picture placements and it's now blank, I believe, because the first page was a map. Now none of the map options appear in the page layout options and it's grayed-out in the Edit Layout option to add a map box. I've turned the Faces option back on, but there are still no options to add maps to my book nor any new book. Anyone know how to get the map options back in the books? Places is working fine for re-assigning all my manual locations since Aperture 3 is ignoring all my previously manually place-tagged iPhoto pictures when I import them.

I've switched between every size and format and no map options appear in any of them (for any user). The map disappeared out of the first book I was working on without changing the size or style after turning off Faces. Disabling Faces was the only thing I changed. All I'm doing with Aperture is creating this one book (so far). On my iMac at work (where I was testing Aperture 3 Trial before installing the purchased copy on my MacBook) I can select a "Large" size "Photo Essay" style book and the maps are available as options on prepared layouts and I can add a map. On my MacBook the maps do not appear.

Is there a way to turn off Faces?

I would like to turn off faces so I don't waste processing power and time, as well as don't generate a new time stamp on the file simply for opening it.

You can turn Faces off in the Aperture prefs.
It can be a useful feature. Once you have Aperture running well and your images organized, it may be worth turning Faces on and letting run overnight, processing your Library and building its table of Faces. The initial build is processor intensive. After that, though, I've not found Faces slows down by daily performance of Aperture.

Concering the recent privacy hype, can one shut off Faces and locations in iPhoto?

Hello again
Is it possible to shut of faces and locations completly off in iPhoto, (not suggesting apple is collecting this data ) lol

Your confusing free social networking sites with a device and application people PAID for?, sounds wierd now that i think of it,
No, what's weird is how you manage to make that statement when I made no mention of social networking sites free or otherwise. So, frankly, I haven't a clue what you're talking about here.
I just looked more into this privacy law suite over at macrumors and found it astonishing and paralel to the way iPhoto does not allow you to shut off Faces, Locations,
Well that's that then, isn't. Macrumours is a pinnacle of legal opinion, after all. Now, I'm not a lawyer, so I won't even guess at the legalities of this matter, but my point still stands. If there's no data there then it cannot be stolen. Not using Faces and Places is precisely the same as turning them off.
Now there is so much inaccurate in this paragraph that it will take a few goes to correct it all:
I understand what you mean by portable devices possibly been the issue with keeping track of locations but Spotlight does more, it will scan everything on your hard drive, even the Finder's sidebar shows you the same photos inside your iphoto Application even if you deleted it,, the recent folder in the side bar does, i just looked., Ofcourse you can also advise people how to remove the side bar,
But what proof do you have that Apple also does not keep track of these photos, locations
Again, I'm not sure why you're talking about portable devices. I referred cameras and phones that record GPS information to the photo. That's all.
Spotlight does not scan "everything on your hard drive". For a start, it does not scan System Folders unless you specifically set it to and a lot of folks complain about that. Further, it doesn't even index the entire document in many cases, but limits itself to the first couple of thousand indexable terms. (Another source of complaint.)
Next: the Finder's sidebar shows you nothing but a couple of icons. Again, if you set it to, it will show you some saved searches.
Those saved searches can contain references to items that have been deleted because there is a lag between the deletion and the updating of the index. That should not be more than a few moments. If the lag is longer all you need to do is force a re-index, a process that takes a couple of moments.
And what makes you think that Apple are accessing your Spotlight indexes anyway? Have you a shred of proof?
I have no proof that Apple isn't stealing all the information on your hard drive. How on earth could I do that? How can you prove a negative? Let's not let paranoia get in the way of logic now.
And why would Apple bother? What possible benefit can they gain from knowing 'GrandMa' was photographed at 'the Southwest corner of Main St., Some Town, Somewhere'?
Because you know, most people don't name the people in their Libraries with their entire name, address etc., mostly they just call them 'Grandma' 'Mike' 'Karen'. So, what can they tell from accessing the Library? 'Karen' is cute, Mike is ugly and that's about it.
Another: why would Apple do this? What would be the reputational damage to the Apple brand if this was discovered?
Even more importantly, if you suspect that Apple is doing this, then it's incumbent on you to offer some proof. "They might be doing this" is not proof that they are. I can say that you might be an idiot, but it's not proof that you are
No, I do not work for Apple. I am not a shareholder, I have never received any payment of any kind from Apple. I benefit in no way from Apple's business practise or model. I'm not worried because I know the following:
You, Apple, the Government, Hackers, ne'er do wells nor anybody else cannot get the pin number to my Credit Card from this machine. You can take the machine and dig, scratch, poke at it any way you want. But you will not find that number on it for the simple reason that it just isn't on the machine.
Similarly, if you do not put the information into the machine, whether it be Face information or Place information, then it cannot be got out of it.
It really is that simple. Common sense.
EDIT: and of course, you don't have to use iPhoto, you know. It's not at all compulsory and there are many alternative.

How do I turn off faces recognition in iphoto

how do I turn off faces recognition in iphoto? I mean forever!!

So by deleting the "Face Profile" or whatever it's called for the individual Faces keeps searching for, you think that's not a solution?
The actual pictures identified by faces are not deleted. Only the avatar and name you list to be looked for within faces is what you're removing.
Do you have a better solution? I'm all ears.

Faces and Places not showing in photo app on iPad

Before when i first got my iPad I remember seeing the faces and places tabs on the top bar of the photo app but now when I open the app i can only see albums pictures and events. How do I get them back?

So I noticed the same thing you guys are talking about, and it has been driving me crazy. I have a mac mini, with ilife 08. v 7.1.5 i think. I do not have the places and faces in my iphoto. But I do have an android phone that has geotagging. I got photos off my android that were geotagged and put them in an album in iphoto. when I synced that event to my photos on my ipad. the places tab reappeared. The odd thing is, the photos that I originally saw in Places before it vanished are no longer tagged in the map, neither are some other photos that I took with my android that were supposedly geotagged. so no, you do not need only a mac, and no you do not ilife 09 for this to work. I am assuming it will be much easier with ilife 09, but i can life without this feature for $70. FYI. hope it helps

How do you turn OFF faces in Iphoto?

How do you turn OFF faces in Iphoto? I hate it.

When I collapse it the face boxes go away, but next thing I know it's expanded again.
Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

After the new update my ipad4 will not do a full recharge even when turned off overnight and the battery goes flat it 2 hours it is driving me crazy as I had to stop all apps but still not helping but my iPhone 5 is great no troubles at all HELP

Do you place the ipod in the dock during the night? I did this once and the other day the battery was almost empty because it kept on playing after it rested in the dock.

How can i turn off faces

i can't turn off faces in iphoto although i had previously, with the new update i guess it cancelled it and now iphoto is trying to identify 12000 faces.. anyone have instructions?

What ever - we are users just like you - creepy, not creppy, paranoid, not paranoid - we can not change anything - we just help people use it the way it is - that is all this forum is for - users helping other users
LN
BTW I guess you have no idea how faces works - it does not identify people (yet) it identifies faces and you go in and assign people to the face - if you ignore it then all that Big Brother can see when they scan your computer every night is that you have photos that include people - which of course they already knew because everyone takes pictures of people

Turn off Face Detection

Is there any way to turn off face detection? Sometimes we want to do 3-way video conference between large conference rooms. Also is there anyway we can keep the wide screen 1080P image when we are doing 3-way conferencing? Thanks!

Hi,
1. It is by design and I cannot find any methods to disable the function of Face Detection. Video is enhanced with face detection and smart framing, so that a participant’s video moves to help keep them centered
in the frame.
2. High-definition video (up to 1080p resolution) is supported in conferences for Lync 2013. You can refer to the link below of “Lync Client Video Requirements”:

Windows : Syncing photos Events, Faces and Places from PSE8 to an iPad with iTunes

Hi everyone,
I buy an iPad yesturday and i try to sync my photos.
I'm a PC user so i try to use PSE in order to sync my photo with iTunes as describe in the iTunes manual.
Unfortunatly, I can sync the photo albums only ... but I can't sync events, faces and places information...
Is it normal ? Doesn't PSE 8 support the syncing of these information ??
If this is correct, when does PSE will support this function ?
Thanks for your replies and excuse my english!
Mathieu from France.

Hello, Mathieu. I think that is normal. From the ipad user guide:
Photos organizes collections by Albums, Events, Faces, and Places. Places uses the location information encoded within each photo, and not all photos may have this information. Events and Faces must first be configured in iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac, then synced to iPad.

Album, events, faces, and places

okay so I restored my phone and still the faces and places feature in the photos isn't showing up. How can I fix this or What do I need to do? do I need to set it up as a new iphone

I was going in through my Photos app. Turns out the problem was that Photos didn't think that any of my photos had geotag info. Which is odd, because only one hour before, it thought that hundreds of them did. (If you have no photos with geotag info, the Places tab doesn't show up.)
I'm guessing that somehow the Photos app corrupted/destroyed/deleted or is simply ignoring the geotag info on my old photos. I don't understand why or how it happened, though. Taking a new photo will cause the Places tab to show up, and that single picture to show up on my Places map as a red pin, whereas only yesterday there were hundreds of pins...

Copy Faces and Places between libraries

I am new to Aperture 3. I am creating libraries for our camping trips. Each library will hold well over 1000 photos. I know how to use Faces and Places - the question is, when I start a new library at the end of this year, is there any way I can copy the Faces data at least over to the new library so I won't have to go through identifying everyone again? iPhoto, and now Aperture, have gotten pretty good at identifying who is who. I would hate to have to re-train it every time I open a new library with many of the same players in it.
Thanks.
Wayne

It gives me space on my hard drive. I am new to Aperture, so I am open to other suggestions, but once I get several gig of photos in one library, most of which is for archival use not active use, I move the library to one of my external hard drives - still have access to it but it's not on my hard drive. So far, I have created a new library with 5 years' worth of photos in it. So that's the issue. I know Aperture could fill my entire hard drive and still function. I just like to have room for other apps to work.
