Q: Face recognition in Fotos not working?
Just bought the latest Macbook Pro, including Fotos. When I open Fotos, the face recognition function does not seem to work.. I have tried to add faces manual by clicking info when viewing the foto, and selecting "add face", but afterwards the program does not find/recognize the face anywhere. How do I "jumpstart" the face recognition?
Thanks
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

It takes a while for the face recognition software to get enough confirmed faces of a person before it starts suggesting that might be the same person in other photos. Jumpstart the process by going to the Faces album & reviewing the Suggested Faces at the bottom of the window.
See the Photos help topic Find photos of people using Faces for more info on how this works.
