How can I restore missing faces in Photos app tiles?

Product information:

Storage capacity = 1 to

App info: The Version 1.3 (350.23.0), pictures photo library file is a little more than 300 GB

Question: I use the application CleanMyMac to keep my Mac in shape. Recently, they came out with an update which suggested that deleting 'useless' data from the Photos app to save space. They promised that there can be no harm to delete these data. Unfortunately, they are wrong. Now when I go in the album of faces on my Photos app, much Face tiles are just gray circles. When I click to open the photo, it opens, but faces album is pretty useless if I can't see previews of the photos. Is it possible to restore the data that allows me to see the faces of tiles in a preview? Here is a picture of what my screen looks like with the tiles in gray:

I tried the "Repair library" option when starting from the Photos app, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I also tried a few other troubleshooting that took me more deeper into a hole that brought me to restore my library from a Time Machine backup point. Fortunately I don't lose all the photos, but I started with the issue of tiles of faces. Any suggestions are appreciated!

two suggestions

1. get rid of CleanMyMac - Malwear is and you never use (or any other cleaning software) - he is never necessary and is very dangerous because it has been known to totally disable the computers by removing the needed filesystem - CleanMyMac and MacKeeper are among the worst programs autour

2. restore your backup from before you have run CleanMyMac and destroyed your photo library

    somehow, I erased all my desktop icons.  How can I restore them?

    You can restore them by right-clicking somewhere on your desktop, not taskbar... on your background screen... then go to customize and then click on "Change Desktop Icons" on the left bar then check the box for icons that you want to appear on your desktop, then click on apply, then ok...

    Then they should appear... If they haven't then click right on your desktop again then go to view, then make sure that "show desktop icons" are checked.

    The other missing shortcuts, you will need to create manually... If you need help then let me know...

    Tom Barnwell

    The quick solution is to click on the folder that contains the missing files and choose "update folder location" and then search for the file on the USB drive. The longer term and fix, you must apply is to configure Windows to always give the same drive letter USB. You can do this through the XP disk management application in the management of the computer (the control panel applet). The following screenshot is for XP and Vista and Win 7 will be something similar which is accessed via the administrative tools (see second screenshot).
