Where is face information stored, and how can it be exported

I don't have the product yet, but after hearing our photographer's rave review of the faces feature, I'm wondering where iPhoto stores the faces information... and how that info can be exported.
does it get tagged in like exif info, or can the program export a per-file xml piece of information, or what?

If you are interested in mucking arond with iPhoto databases, I think you might be able to extract the information.
One way that will work is to create a smart album with the name of the person. This will create an album that is always up to date with that person's photos. You can then parse out the photos from the AlbumData.xml and figure out which photos have which that person in it.
Another way that doesn't involve creating smart albums (if you don't want those to clutter iPhoto) is to look at the face.db file. This file is an sqlite3 database that contains information about all of the "faces" in your database. You can see the contents of the database with the command
/usr/bin/sqlite3 face.db .dump > dump.txt
I haven't figured out what all of the fields are, but I'm sure that there are lines that contain ID numbers for the photos (which you can get from the AlbumData.xml file). I'm sure that someone will publish how to extract what you need from this file at some point (of course this is hacking around in the internal database from iPhoto which can easily change at any time). I haven't reverse engineered the format yet, but might do so at some point (I am also very interested in this information).

I downloaded a word file from an inbox mail (the mail app) onto my iPad2, where is this file stored? How can I delete it if it takes up space in my iPad? Any ideas??

Did you ever figure out what happened?
I had the same experience as you did, but in my case it was a big fat pdf that Mail insisted I had to download before I could view it. As happened with you, I saw the file actually downloading, and after a time I was able to view the pdf. It's been my assumption that the pdf is still somewhere on my iPad, but I have no idea where, nor how to delete it if it is still there.
Thanks.

I receive numerous messages in "Bulk Mail". Where do they come from and how can I prevent them from being received? Thanks

Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

You dictate after you open a blank page in any text editor. The text goes on the page.
You can use Text Edit for example (in your applications folder).
With the blank page open, go to the Edit menu and select Start Dictation. When you are finished, you save the file as you would any other document. You can retrieve it, edit it or anything else you want, because it is a file like any other you create with that text editor.

My iPhone 4S shows I have over 6 GB of memory used for mail yet the mailboxes are more or less empty. Where is the memory going and how can I reduce it?

I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

HT1660 when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retireved?

when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retrieved?

The file is just left where it was when it was connected to the library. Typically:
<User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>
If you want to add it back just drag it into iTunes. If you want to cull the files you kept previously add the entire iTunes Media folder back into iTunes (or use one of Doug's scripts that has the same effect), then delete (and don't keep) the recent additions.
Note that warning/prompt is only issued when the files you are removing are located inside the designated iTunes Media folder.

I have been purchasing songs on itunes for a year. I just got a new computer and I synched my iphone to it. I had over 100 songs, now I have only 10. Where did my music go and how can I get it back?

I have been purchasing songs from itunes for the past year. I have over 100 songs. I recently got a new computer and I synched the iphone to it. I can't find 90% of my music. Where is it and how can I get it back? I checked itunes under purchased and it only shows 13 songs. Please help.

You can only sync with one computer. When you synced to the new computer it would have erased it and synced what was on the new computer.
You always need to have a backup, an iPhone is not a storage device.
When you get a new computer you need to transfer your library before syncing
If you don't have a backup you may be out of luck
The only thing would be if you're in the US and have access to the iCloud beta to reload purchases

I figured out how to snap a still photo of a movie clip, but where then does it go, and how can I import it into my iPhoto library?

I was working in iMovie and discovered how to take a still photo of a movie clip. Now I can't find that still photo! Where did it go, and how can I import it to my iPhoto library?

Just found out and it is simple. When you find a frame in your video/movie of which you want a still photo or screen shot, just go to the frame and click on command, shift and the #3 in quick succession. You will hear a "click" like a camera taking a photo. The screen shot will then go to your desktop where you can drag it to iPhoto or an e-mail, or anywhere you like. Also you can rename the screen shot by double clicking on the wording under the screen shot on your desk top. Whew!

Hi Michael ,
You can log in to Adobe.com with your credentials and you can change your region or country from the option "Change Region" at the bottom left of the page .
From there you can change your region and select the preferred one and make the payments.
Hope this will work .

Where does downloaded software go and how can I access it and install it?

Often when I try to download and install software, a dialoge box comes up telling me that my only option is to save the software upon downloading. After it completes the download, I have absolutely no idea where the software has gone or how to access it so I can install it!
First, I'd like to know where my downloaded software goes so I can install the things I need to install. Second, is there a way that I can change the settings for downloads so that things don't go to a mysterious location, unbeknownst to me? If I'm downloading something, that means I want to install it 99.9% of the time right then and there!
Thank you,
Andrea

Open the Downloads window - {Ctrl + J} - and right-click the file that was downloaded, select '''Open Containing Folder'''. Your downloaded file is there.

HT203167 im missing a lot of music where did it go? and how can i get it back

im missing a lot of music where did it go and how do i bring it back on my library

No way for anyone here to know where it went, as you have provided no info about your issue.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.

Where are the settings for blocking installation by websites stored, and how can you edit them?

An external app (my work Lotus Notes webmail) wanted to install something and I accidentally clicked "deny" and "remember this", when I wanted to allow it. Now I have no idea where I can remedy this. Any ideas?

Where do you click that button?
Is that on a web page?

Where is the iPhoto library stored and how can I browse to it in Finder? The "Photos" option is not showing up on the left hand side.

I created an app using Automator to batch resize my photos. When I take photos with my iPhone 4s the resolution is so big I can't upload them to a web site, so I can select all the photos in an event and resize them down. It's too time consuming to open each one in Preview and resize it manually. This little app works perfectly!
Here's the only thing I'd like to change - when the app starts up it asks which photos I want to resize. I'd love it to default to the iPhoto library so I can choose the most recent event. But I can't for the life of me find it! Normally there's a choice on the left hand side that says Photos and in the automator finder window, it's not showing up. I've looked through all the folders I can think of and can't find it.
Help!

You are not using iPhoto properly and are in danger of losing your photos
iPhoto is a SQP database application and there are NO user servicable parts in the database (by default the iPhoto library) It is extremely important that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the content (or structure) of the iPhoto library
The only safe (and suppoprted) way to resize photo is to select them and export using the various esize options in teh export dialogue and use those resized photos - this is a bathc process and does not involve Preview nor does it involve seperate processing for each photo

Where has InDesign CS6 gone and how can I get it back?

As you know, InDesign CC on Mavericks is a mess atm, so I need to jump back to CS6 while things get better.
Thing is, I can't find it, even though my cc app think i have it. So I can't install soemthing that CC thinks is already installed.
When I first wanted to use it, it didnt show up in my app search (apple+space) so I went to my app folder, there i saw the folder, but all it had inside where two random folders, no actual app. So i figured it probably hadn't been installed correctly so trashed it. But CC still thinks I have it, even though I never did.
What am I to do?
See these pics:

CC is only a mess for some and suspect it's for those that did upgrade
installs instead of clean installs.
That said, go to creative.adobe.com and sign in. Go to the download
center and find InDesign. Click on it and then find the In this version
section. Click on the dropdown and choose CS6 there.
