P: Waiting for Settings

  • March 3, 2023

All of my photos and albums no longer show the edits I've made to the photos. On the right column where the editing window is. It says the following.

 

"Waiting for Settings.

This photo is missing updated settings 

Open Lightroom on that device to have edits synced"

 

I've only ever used the same iMac to make edits and that is what I have the app opened on now. So I'm very confused as to what is going on

Begging your pardon, but the problem hasn't been fixed for me. LrC on Mac (v12.3); "Waiting for settings" on my iOS devices. All the edits were made on the Mac (I never edits photos on my iOS devices).

What I find works is to copy settings from another photo and then paste on the offending photo and then hit reset.

Same issue for me. Lr 6.2 and LrC 12.2.1
Some photos, I can't determine why, show this issue. On LrC everything is synced right, but on Lr I've this warning : 
"Waiting for settings, This photo is missing updated settings from another client...[...]" The Reset button do nothing.
So I can't share my collection with Adobe Portfolio. I'm stuck 😕😕
any idea?

Just chiming in that this happens  often for me.   Its so bad that sometimes I edit photos on my iPad Pro and then later that same day, I will edit the same photo on the same iPad and I will get the dredded "Waiting for Settings" message.

Thanks for reporting. I've conferenced in the team on what information they might need from you. If you go to one of the offending images at https://lightroom.adobe.com do you see it? Is it up to date with the Desktop image? Older? Or, does the web image have edits missing from the desktop image?
