P: Lightroom Desktop Keeps saying 'Unable to Connect to Network'

Trying to switch to Lightroom CC but I keep getting 'Unable to Connect to Network' in sync status. If I restart the application it might work for 50-60 photos and then returns to this error message. I'm trying to sync ~12K mobile photos before another 40K RAW images so obviously need to be able to let this run in the background and over night. Have tried restarting the computer as well to no luck.

Any other suggestions on what I can try?

Setup 

  • Home computer
  • Windows 10 Desktop
  • Wifi Connection (verified internet is working)
  • Selected option to store original files on a NAS (synology, used a mapped drive)

It happens even before the drive/computer is woken from sleep. I'm willing to volunteer.

Also, I'd appreciate a volunteer or two to work with who could send us a diagnostic log. We'll reach out to you offline for the details.

For those of you seeing this problem, does it happen immediately with the NAS drive connected, or is it a problem when waking the drive up from sleep?

Oh, that explains it. This thread is about Lightroom Desktop (Released in 2019) not Lightroom (Classic) 3.0 which was released ~2010.

After several phone calls to Adobe customer service, I finally got in touch with a representative who stated that Adobe is no longer supporting non-cloud versions of Lightroom 3, and that the registration and upgrade servers have been taken offline.

What is your OS Version Number? I am guessing your OS is too old to upgrade.

@gczerw you'd need to talk to Adobe Customer Services as those old versions are no longer available for download publicly. http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

@Rikk

How do I get the updates for Lightroom 3 which I just installed from the CD?  It will neither process a registration or get updates. Keeps telling me:

The version check was unsuccessful.

This is probably a result of one of the following.

Your internet connection is not currently available

The server containing the version data is not available at this time

Check your internet connection & try again later.

I obviously have a good internet connection since I'm writing this.

Thanks!
