Jan 31, 2009 6:52 AM in response to Terence Devlinby Mike Morgan,Nothing. The screen appears just as it did before I named any faces, except for the information pane. -

Can you explain how you went about assigning names?

Jan 31, 2009 7:01 AM in response to Terence Devlinby Mike Morgan,I picked a shot in my library that had a reasonably close face in it, clicked on the name icon, then typed the name in the pop-up and clicked done. -
Jan 31, 2009 7:40 AM in response to Mike Morganby Terence Devlin,Try a Smart Album
Name -> Is -> “One of the Names”
If the Smart Album finds the pics, then we know naming is right and the problem is with the Corkboard.

Jan 31, 2009 7:51 AM in response to Terence Devlinby Mike Morgan,I made a smart album and it did find the picture that I used to set the name.
I also made a new iPhoto library, imported some pictures and added names to two of them. Those faces show up on the cork board, so it is specific to my main library. Again, any issues with having over 91 thousand images in the library? -
Jan 31, 2009 7:54 AM in response to Mike Morganby Terence Devlin,iPhoto is rated to 250,000 images, so no. I wouldn’t expect it to be over fast or anything but it should not cause an issue like this.
The sheer size of the library makes me hesitate to suggest things like rebuilding it. But the fact that it works correctly in another one suggests that the app is fine, the prefs and permissions are fine etc.

Jan 31, 2009 8:03 AM in response to Terence Devlinby Mike Morgan,One more thought... I installed iPhoto 09 on a MacPro in my office and started the process of scanning for faces on that machine. I usually pull the drive and take it home on the weekend. I installed iPhoto 09 on my MacPro at home and it finished scanning the faces there. Any issues with changing computers? Does it write the metadata to the iPhoto file or in a support file on the Mac? -
Jan 31, 2009 8:10 AM in response to Mike Morganby Terence Devlin,The data is written to files within the iPhoto Library, not the actual pics.
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

Jan 31, 2009 8:23 AM in response to Terence Devlinby Mike Morgan,I checked. I am running a managed library. The files should be going into the iPhoto Library. Do you think rebuilding would solve the problem? I am looking forward to using the faces feature. I have a full iPhoto library back up on another drive. (not upgraded to '09 yet) -
Jan 31, 2009 9:11 AM in response to Mike Morganby Terence Devlin,Mike
I can only assume that this somehow related to moving the Library from one machine to the other during the faces scan.

Jan 31, 2009 7:04 PM in response to Terence Devlinby rheider,What if when I try to do a smart album with album is "assigned name" none of the assigned names are available? What should i try?
Rolland -
Jan 31, 2009 11:44 PM in response to rheiderby Terence Devlin,Rolland
There is no Smart Album option for “assigned name”.
There is one for Name, and if that’s the one you refer to, then it might mean that iPhoto is not gettting your names into the DB. Are they showing on the corkboard?

Feb 1, 2009 7:49 AM in response to Terence Devlinby Mike Morgan,I am letting iPhoto rebuild. It has been going for about 18 hours. It is showing 2 hours to go. I am hoping that will correct the problem.
