1) Is there anyway to get Faces to turn off? I checked Places to disable places lookup but can see no way to get iPhoto to stop scanning for faces? I assume this must be slowing down the computer and since I'm working on a relatively slow computer and don't want to use Faces....
Also is there some way you can disable Places lookup for all events, ditto on collapsing the Faces area under Info. I seem to have to do it for each Event. Maybe I should just not bother. But the Faces wheel continues to go around. Even in Libraries in which there are no faces. Only plants. iPhoto '11 ver 9.3 on a 5 year old MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.8.2. Actually I am having so much trouble with iPhoto, trying to move photos from an external HD to the laptop. I must be doing it all wrong. Since the laptop won't hold all the photos I have I'm trying to move just a few of the iPhoto Libraries I have. Just the more recent ones. So I drag an iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder on the external HD to iPhoto on the laptop. And I end up with two or three copies of many events. Why? Can I remove the folder Pictures from my account and drag the Pictures folder from my external HD.... Nope it's too large. Rats. How about I remove the Pictures folder from my account (Home>Pictures),; drag it to the trash and empty trash. Then make a new folder in Home (Command-Shift-N) and drag a few iPhoto Libraries to it from the external HD. Would that work? Any suggestions?
