Why is iPhoto creating new copies of faces in my mother's photos?

My mother uses iPhoto to look at and edit her pictures. She is getting very frustrated because it seems to be making new pictures of all the faces in her photos including a lot of faces she doesn't know or want (e.g., people gathered around tables at parties). She's being overwhelmed with new copies of existing photos and these new face crops. I've looked at the Preferences and can't find anything to turn off to stop this behavior (I don't use iPhoto myself because I don't like the behavior).
For that matter, I can't seem to find out why it's creating duplicates of pictures already in her Library. To my knowledge, she's not Importing them again so there's no reason for these duplicates to keep cropping up. She was using OS X 10.6.8 on her iMac but I've just upgraded her to Mavericks.

The faces are showing up in her iPhoto gallery. To my knowledge, she hasn't done any importing and she definitely hasn't cropped or selected these faces for anything. It seems to be creating pictures from any faces it finds in group photos but the faces are unnamed and not located in the Faces tab although they show up in the Photos tab.

Why does IPhoto create duplicates of photos and graphics that is on my Mac when I import Photostream. I started out with 4000 photos now I have almost 28,000. I am using new Ipad and the Mac is running Mountain Lion

Why does IPhoto create dupicates of photos and graphic that is on My Mac when I import the photos from Photo stream to the library? I started out with about 4,000 photos when I transferred everything from my PC. I use a new IPad and IPhone to take the photos. The Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 3.1 Intel prosessor. I am using IPhoto 11.
Thanks in advance

Iphoto create new event then copy photos to the new event.

I took some pictures this afternoon and imported them into iPhoto.
I looked for a new evernt but there wasn't one, so I checked 'last import' and there they were, but for some reason they they were there along with pictures I took almost a year ago. I checked the clock on my camera and the dates were correct and I can't find any reason that the new pictures were grouped with ones from a year ago.
So, I marked the new pictures, clicked 'copy', went back to 'events' and selected "new eventy" and created a new event, called "New event 8-4-13'.
Clicked on the new event... and there was no way to copy the pictures I'd selected with 'copy' in the preceeding sentence.
My question: it seems to be possible to create a New Event under the Library/Events, is there any way to actually associate pictures with this new event?

the easiest way to do a new event is to flag the photos and use the create new event form flagged photos command
As to your issue in finding the event - I do not understand what you have - but the most common reason for this si an incorrect sort - check the event sort - view menu ==> sort events

Why does iPhoto create subfolders for an album?

I have have about 20 albums in iPhoto, and I've never had an issue until recently. I created a new album, and have been dragging pictures into the album over the past 4 months or so (it's to update progress on the construction of our new house). When I drag photos into the original album, iPhoto creates a subfolder within the original album. The outcome is that I have 92 "untitled album"s within the original album. Worse, when I sync my phone and want to have this album on my phone, the original album doesn't show up on my list of albums, but the 92 untitled albums do. Is there a setting that I'm missing? This had never happened with the other 20 or so albums I have on iPhoto.

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 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: 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.

Why does iPhoto create multiples when importing pictures?

OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
iPhoto version 9.6
I have a new MacBook and I am attempting to import pictures to iPhoto that were created by various devices - old digital cameras, scanners, iPhones. The original images import without trouble, however iPhoto is creating an extra THREE pictures for each ONE that I import. Please see the attached screenshot of my iPhoto after importing a few folders. Take for example the Bowl for Kids folder - you will notice that the original folder has 20 pictures, and it is followed by an additional folder with 60 pictures. The same situation is repeated for each folder. The additional folders all share the same name - "d312a08daf7d..." and have EXACTLY three times as many pictures as the previous folder. I have verified that the pictures contained within are indeed triplicates of the originals.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I did not import an existing iPhoto Library.
Starting with a completely empty Photo Library, I navigate to File > Import to Library and select a single folder (Bowl for Kids). This folder has 20 photos in it, however iPhoto imports 80 (20 originals and 60 multiples, as evidenced by the screenshot). I then repeated the process for the other two folders.
The photos shown in the screenshot were taken from various devices many years ago. None of the above were taken on an iPhone.
The photos reside on my MacBook hard drive under Users > Worgowan > Documents > Pictures and Videos. I chose to place them here to keep them separate from the native Pictures folder.
To answer an inevitable future question, here are some settings from my iPhoto Preferences.
> iCloud > My Photo Stream (OFF)
> iCloud > Photo Sharing (OFF)
> Advanced > Importing: Copy Items to iPhoto Library (OFF)
> Advanced > Edit Photos (In iPhoto)
> Advanced > Use RAW when using external editor (OFF)
> Advanced > Save edits as 16-bit TIFF files (OFF)
> Advanced > Look up Places (NEVER)
> Advanced > Include location information from published items (OFF)

Why does iPhoto import new events at the beginning of the events?f

When I import photos from a camera of from a hard drive, iPhoto '11 places the new untitled event near , not at the beginning, of the chronological events list. Is there a remedy for this?

You can change that via the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Descending menu option.

Why has iphoto created quadruples of my photos?

Creating new flickr & facebook albums in iOS.

I used to be able to create new flickr sets & facebook albums when uploading from Photos or iPhoto, but that option seems to have disappeared. Does anyone know how to get it back?
The only workaround I can find is to do it via each sites associated apps, but it's quite difficult in the flickr app without going through the whole upload process.
I prefer to upload from iPhoto as it doesn't compress the files as badly plus it also includes the exif info.
I'd appreciate this functionality back because when I'm out on photo shoots I like to upload them to the ipad, do immediate selection, basic post, and upload them straight away to both these sites.

Hi BastardSheep!
As suggested in the article below, you may need to make sure that you are signed in to your Flickr and Facebook accounts in the settings of your iPhone:

If you are still experiencing this issue, you may need to do some further troubleshooting by deleting the iPhoto app, then re-downloading it. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Palm Profile cannot sign in and cant create new palm profile!

Hello,

Ofcourse web chat rep try to explain me that the root cause is in my carrier which is not true because my card have 3G and its working perfectly.
Because when i type wrong password it said me password is wrong and i click on forgot password i select the secret question and change the password via the phone - which is a clear proof that Internet 3G is working!
Then i decide to downgrade to 2.0 - again cant login and cant create new profile, try with 2.01 again no success.
Now back on 2.1 with #*DEVMODE# everything is working i have signal and i can use the phone but i dont have app catalog and cant install apps because there is no Palm profile on the phone.
I try SDK tool and to find what is the app which start profile creation card with palm-launch but without success.
So i have few Question
- Do we(you) have a problem with WebOSProfile Services ?
- why i cant create new or login to my existent profile ?
- in DEVMODE how i can create palm profile (is that possible) and if it is how to do it ?
- what is the HP internal group which support this services and how i can contact you internaly ?

What do you mean by "upgrade?" If you've installed some software version that isn't supported for your device, then you may have to use the WebOS Doctor to go back to a supported version.
If you've "upgraded" to a supported version, then this problem will require you call Palm/HP's support to find out why you can't sign into your profile.

Why is iPhoto NOT available for ipad2 ?

Why is iphoto not available as an app for ipad2 ? The photos application which comes with the ipad is very limited as you are unable to edit or resize photos or really do anything with them except store or email them.
Since Pages & Keynote are available as apps for ipad why isn't iphoto ?

The short answer is because Apple havn't made an iOS version of it, and I don't think that they've released a reason as to why not. There are apps in the iTunes App Store that let you resize etc e.g. PS Express

When I create a new album, why does iPhoto 11 separate pictures into untitled albums?

When creating a new album, why does iphoto 11 separate pictures into untitled albums? I want all designated photos in the album i created..

I'm guessing you're missing the album in the left hand pane by just a bit and thus creating new albums for each of the photo you're dragging. Make sure the album is highlighted as in this screenshot (iPhoto 9.4.2) before releasing:
A sure file way to get an album with the photos is to select the photos again and use the File ➙ New Album menu option
and that will produce a new album with the photos that were selected.

i just saved my iphoto original library to my external hard drive, now how do i create new space on my hard drive and create a new iphoto library

Trash the copy of the library you just moved. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
But do you want to have two iPhoto Libraries? Why not just use the one on the External?

I tried to create new library, now iPhoto can't find them

i had so many photos in my iphoto library and it was taking forever to load up, so i wanted to create multiple libraries.
i first tried the following protocol from the help but couldn't find the 'Create Library' command in the toolbar.
1.Quit iPhoto.
2.Rename your current iPhoto Library folder in the Finder or move it to a new location on your hard disk.
3.Open iPhoto.
4.Click Create Library.
5.Type a name and choose a location for your new photo library.
6.Click Save.
then i manually tried to rename my original iPhoto Library file in the Pictures folder, and create a new folder where i dropped all the photos from 2006 and 2007 so i could just boot from my recent photos. i've learned since that tinkering with files manually in the iPhoto Library is a no-no, but how do i go back? i moved all of the folders with year names 2002-2007 back under the folder iPhoto Library, but i now have two folders. one called iPhoto Library and the other iPhoto Library 2. they are both within the Pictures folder and they each have copies dir.data, iphoto.db, iphoto.ipspot, iphotolock.data, etc.
Help! please!
thanks

If iPhoto does not recognize either library, then the data files may be messed up. I would create a new library and import the photos from the old library. This will get you back in the running.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "import" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!
