| How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | cpm73 | 5/27/11 3:16 AM | I've just gone onto my Picasa Web Albums page today and found that its now showing a short list of family members names under the title of People In My Photos, which is a bit unnerving because I've never uploaded any photos with family members in and |
| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | cpm73 | 6/13/11 1:42 AM | No. Still haven't found out how to resolve it. I've already disabled the Web Albums sync in Picasa (which I'm sure re-enabled itself the last time I upgraded) and manually disabled the flag on each name in Picasa (what a pain that was) that syncs th |
| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | cpm73 | 6/13/11 3:04 AM | I totally agree. I don't want Picasa modifying my contacts list at all, and I don't want it uploading contacts onto the Web Albums, especially as I haven't even uploaded photos with people in them! Setting these options to stop it doing this however |
| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | cpm73 | 6/17/11 4:06 AM | Well I've had limited success in removing the names from Web Albums in that they now all appear as Unnamed people with no contact information. I started playing with deleting a contact in gmail which had no effect on Web Albums until I started up Pi |
| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | cpm73 | 6/17/11 6:13 AM | It remains to be seen if its best to leave it alone and wait for a fix and not mess with your contact lists, or to try my method which could change them to Unnamed but possibly leave no way to control or change them outside of Web Albums until they a |

| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | k6gbc | 6/18/11 11:34 AM | I've got a problem which I think is related. I recently migrated a "conflicting google account" into google apps. Part of the procedure was an automatic move of all my picasaweb photos into the google apps structure. Now I cannot name tag anythin |
| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | k6gbc | 6/19/11 7:16 AM | Actually, it still works if you use a PWA album which hasn't been corrupted. I tested this out - but I just have been able to consolidate all my stuff under google apps. I don't want to separate it out again. I think they have a bug. I believe if |
| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | k6gbc | 6/19/11 6:16 PM | I haven't been able to delete the contacts from PWA. After I delete the photo albums they are in an orphaned status. Can't be deleted or modified as far as I can tell. I did delete the contacts from my Google Contacts, but that had no effect on th |
| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | MattStretch | 6/22/11 3:31 AM | This is an absolutely mess. I use Picasa on 2 machines, and it is adding duplicate people all over the place. I keep deleting the old ones that I don't need and everytime I reopen Picasa they come back to haunt me. To make things worse I have got |
| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | k6gbc | 6/22/11 8:55 AM | Ben, apart from the extraneous contacts - are you able to use name tags with photos? In other words, can you tag photos with names even with the contact issue? When you tag in the Picasa desktop app, do the name tags load up correctly in PWA? In m |
| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | k6gbc | 6/22/11 8:57 AM | Clarification... name tags and contacts appear to be working for me in the desktop app. Changes to contacts in Picasa desktop appear to replicate correctly with my Google contacts. What is broken for me is Name tag functionality in PWA, and contact |
| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | k6gbc | 6/22/11 1:47 PM | @Ben - consider yourself lucky ;-) ... Name Tags aren't working for me at all - I can't upload name tags from the picasa desktop app - nor can I enter manually from PWA. I have validated that things work fine from a new account. Obviously somethin |
| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | k6gbc | 6/22/11 2:17 PM | @Ben - correct... it didn't work for me either. I believe the way it is suppose to work is that Google contacts is shared and replicated between Gmail, Picasa and PWA. What appears to be happening is that Google Contacts replicates or is shared co |

| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | PeterRM | 6/23/11 4:35 AM | @ Ben Vassie You asked me in another forum if I was having trouble with name tags in Picasa Web Albums.

| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | k6gbc | 6/23/11 9:08 AM | I've also noticed that changes to Google contacts (such as if you change someone's name) doesn't replicate (or doesn't appear to replicate) to the Picasa Desktop application. For instance, if you change Johnny Doe to Johnnie Doe in Google contacts, |

| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | k6gbc | 6/23/11 12:33 PM | Well, personally I prefer Picasaweb to Flickr. I'm sure Google knows about the issue and is working. I agree it is very frustrating; and it would be nice to get an idea what the plan is going forward. Obviously it needs to be fixed. |

If you need any more info, test case scenarios, etc. please advise and I'll provide.

| Re: How do I remove contacts from the People In My Photos list | Ben Vassie | 6/24/11 3:51 AM | Thank you for the reply Brian Is PWA designed for us to be able to manage our contacts, or should it all be done via the People Manager in Picasa? Also, how do my GMail contacts fit into this? Would that override everything? e.g. If I remove someone |

My take is as follows based upon the google provided documentation: "Is PWA designed for us to be able to manage our contacts, or should it all be done via the People Manager in Picasa?" - PWA doesn't currently have the abili |
