How can I ensure all my "people" are available for selection on Photo shuffle?

On “photo shuffle” Lock Screen selection, not all of my “people” are showing up to be selected? I ensured my software is up-to-date and all photos of that person are identified. Why are only 3/7 people showing up as an option for my photo shuffle?? I tried powering on and off many times. Tried with full charge and while charging. Not sure what else to do.

Yes, exactly. We are doing what you suggest. But, there’s no way to select one of my grandchildren, because she is not in the list even though I made sure to have her as one of my “favourite people”. The My People random assortment list that Apple uses to change to my selected 5 people is limited and uses random people that I don’t even have many pictures of over the thousands I have of my grandchildren. You’d think it would at least list all of my favorite people in that menu, but it doesn’t.

The blue text comes up when selecting the actually saved people within your people and pets photo folder that would, ostensibly, show on your iPad/iphone desktop rotation. For instance once you select “people” you would then select “kid A” and “kid B” and those two would show up in blue text. Almost like a hyperlink to your person selections.


This doesn’t work for me either because I think I saved too many people and their names to be recognized by iPhoto.
