Q: Add a face button turned grey
Would anyone have a solution...
I recently had an electrical shutdown while importing photos in iPhoto (9.6), on my computer (using Mac OS 10.10.1). When I started my computer again, iPhoto asked for rebuilding my database, which I did. Since then, on all my pictures, the new as the old ones, I can not add a face, the "add a face" button is grey. In addition, on my old pictures onto which I already added a face, the tag has apparently disappeared (in the information panel, the names do not appear anymore), although the faces are still correctly appearing when going to the main face panel. Something else I remarked, when I start iPhoto, in the top left corner where I can select the face presentation, I have a circle in which two arrows are circling, with no end.
Resumed: My main problem is that I cannot add any names on the pictures...
So far, I have tried these solutions, none of them fixed my issue:
1) Launching iPhoto pressing the alt and Cmd button to repair the permissions, rebuild the thumbnails, repair the database, rebuild the database
2) repaired the permissions through onyx
3) erased the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file in the library / preference folder
4) erased Faces.db (in Pictures/iPhoto Library/Database/apdb) and Faces folder (in Pictures/iPhoto Library/Database), and use the files I have in my TimeCapsule from a time before my issue started
Anybody to share with my his/her ideas to solve my problem?
Many thanks for your help,
iMac (24-inch Early 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
