Q: iPhoto faces cork board doesn't show faces
I am running iPhoto version 9.6 on my 2009 iMac with OS X Yosemite. The pictures on my cork board are almost all blank. If I look at individual pictures they are all properly tagged. When I run Find Faces the computer seems to see the faces in the blank pictures and asks me to confirm that the blank picture is who it believes it is. I recently had to have my hard drive replaced by my local Apple store AND they upgraded my OS when they did. I suspect that the cork board is not finding the correct file but it appears to just be the cork board. Furthermore, the area to the right of the cork board says 617 faces and 6,853 photos, 21 videos, 12.5 GB so it's referencing something. When I run Find Faces it will show about half of the pictures and when I tag faces they DO show up in my cork board. Thank you in advance for any solutions or help you can provide. I am only reasonably computer proficient so please provide a clear roadmap to the solution if you have one.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

That sounds promising. Where do I find the iPhoto library?
If you only have one iPhoto Library, you can simply launch iPhoto while holding down the options-command keys. Keep holding down both keys until you see the Library First Aid panel.
iPhoto will then repair your current iPhoto Library.
By default you will find your iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder. It will show with an icon like a fan of Pictures.
