Is there a way to turn off the "faces" function in iPhoto. I have never identified any faces, so now any time I add a photo with a face it takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to do anything else in iPhoto because it is busily looking for face matches.

Is it possible to get facial recognition software for the MacBook Pro? I was looking at it on the Alienware M17X and thought it was pretty cool.

2012 Mac mini with a Thunderbolt display, recently updated to 10.9.3. Normally, it's set to never sleep, but to have the display turn off after 15 minutes with no screen saver. Since the 10.9.3 update, it won't turn off at all. I've tried changing the settings back and forth with no results. I've also gone into Library->Preferences->SystemConfiguration and deleted the PowerManagement.plist file.
I can turn the power off with control-shift-eject, but I'd rather it happen automatically. Is there something else new that came along with 10.9.3 that is preventing monitor shutdown?

I purchased a Mac Pro two years ago and had additional ram installed at COMP USA (had an APPLE dealer in the store) The ram upgrade gave me a total of 9 gig. When I check (About This Mac) it confirms the 9 gig of ram. I was setting my preferences in Adobe CS 4 and when allocating the percent of ram to be dedicated to CS4 my choice was centered around 3 gig. Same as my Mac Book Pro. I elected 70% of 3 gig of ram.
I am new to the Mac OS system and am facing a difficulty.I want to keep my macbook running through the night downloading the updates, however I want the display to be off. For this I have used apps like caffeine and no sleep and have also modified the system preferences. But still whenever I turn off my display, after some time the macbook goes to sleep and all my downloads and updates are paused.
Is there any workaround which allows me to turn off the display without letting the mac to go to sleep ??

I have my four main colleagues' google calendars (and my own google calendar) in my Calendar app in OSX Mavericks. Whenever anyone sends all four of us an invite to a meeting, I get four badge counts and alerts for the four calendar accounts that I have set up to view. Is there a way to stop this and only get alerts for a primary google calendar in the mac calendar app?

I recently spilled coffee on my mid 2010 2.4ghz macbook pro. After drying out, the computer worked fine, although the battery was not recognized. Since apple does not cover water damage i bought a replacement battery and installed it today. After starting up the problem is not solved. there is still an X through the battery indicator and if i unplug the laptop it shuts down instantly. When i turn it on, the status LED on the front blinks 6 times before the laptop actually boots up. I have reset the SMC, NVRAM and PRAM.
Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.
Is there anyway to log on with voice recognition? Like if the password is "Apple", it will only log on to your wave pattern?

I have a Javascript file that detects key codes, but it is set to react to Windows keyboard keys. How would I adapt it to work with a Mac keyboard? Code: // Hotkeys document.addEventListener('keydown', function(e){ if(e.shiftKey && !e.ctrlKey && e.altKey){ switch(e.keyCode){ // Edit styles with Alt+Shift+E case 69: editStyles(); break; // Unblock elements with Alt+Shift+U case 85: unblockEle(); break; // Block element with Alt+Shift+B case 66: blockEle(); break; // Unblock latest element with Alt+Shift+L case 76: unblockEle(true); break; // Block elements (don't use nth-child) with Alt+Shift+W case 87: blockEle(true); break; } } }, false); The Alt key is the problem. I guess the Alt/Option key on a Mac keyboard is not the same as the Alt key for Windows. What name would I give to have that key recognized?

What is it with Apple and still not having implemented automatic recognition of external display when hooking up to the MBP. Seriously? Do we really need to close/ open the lid in order to shut off the MBP screen. Why does it work in Windows (via Bootcamp) and not in OS-X? I was hoping this would be fixed in SL but still no.
I have recorded a voice interview and is wondering if there is a quick way to type these recording out? maybe something that analyse the recording file or something that type when you speak?
