Q: iPhoto albums and faces
Hi,
So about a month ago I created a smart album in iPhoto and set it up to sync with my iPhone. It worked perfectly. However, a couple of days ago, I started updating the "Faces" of my photos and from that moment on my iPhone not only synced the desired album, but also a new album named "Faces" in which appear the exact same photos from the desired album. Moreover, the "Faces" album is categorized or separated in the names of the people that appear in the original album.
Just to make sure I made my point:
- At first I only had one album called "Album1" in which I had photos of John, Jack and Amy. Now, out of nowhere, I have "Album1" and "Faces" which itself is divided in 3 albums named "John", "Jack" and "Amy" and they all contain replicates of the photos in Album1 in which each person appears.
I haven't been able to find the setting that enables this or disables this. Does anyone know how can I avoid this from happening?
Thanks,
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

And there is no way of getting rid of the Faces album without taking away the Faces tags?
Looks like it. Making sure that no synced photo had a faces tag was the only way, I could make the Faces albums vanish.
I only tested with iPhoto 9.5.1, Aperture 3.5.1, and MacOS X 10.9.4 with iOS 7.1.2.
