Lightroom uses all memory during sync

Hi

When syncing Lightroom CC it ends up stalling with around 430 images to go and - after a period - my Mac warns me that I have insufficient memory, Lightroom stalls and I have to force shut down. Checking the activity monitor something strange is happening: Before reaching the last 430 images, the memory usage is around 4 GB, but then it slowly starts creeping upwards until it reaches the max 8 GB that I have. And it is all caused by Lightroom (I run no other programs at the same time).

I have tried resetting preferences, deleting Sync.lrdata file and going back to an older catalogue. None of them resolved the issue.

Other users seem to have issue caused by them using Dropbox etc. I am using none of those.

I use a MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz, 8 GB RAM, OS X 10.11.6

Any ideas?

Thanks

Peter

I am experiencing the same issue. Lightroom Classic takes up all free memory while (suddenly) attempting to sync thousands of photos. In fact, syncing has gone completely bonkers. The status in the corner says "syncing x,xxx" (some number in the thousands) photos. That number and the Sync Errors collection photo count jump around, up and down. It never needed to do this previously. I didn't just add thousands of photos to my library, they've been there all along. I only have a few hundred photos set to sync to lightroom mobile. When I look in the sync preferences, in the sync activities pane, there are 0 activities, 0 pending. Nothing reported at all. Meanwhile Lightroom is cranking away and sucking down all the memory, until it becomes unresponsive. It seems like this process will never complete. It also holds up the syncing of the photos that I actually want to be synced!

This is a major bug. Adobe, we need to hear from you about this problem. Sync operations should not be this opaque and disruptive. This is supposed to be a professional product, but I can't work like this.

Sounds like the same issue I just started having yesterday. I thought it might be from the 8.0 update released on 10/15 but from this thread it seems people have had the problem before the update. All my photos were sync'd as of 10/16 and when I imported some new photos to Classic on 10/17 it's as if the entire sync process started over again, only never finishes. Lightroom Classic either freezes up midway through syncing, gets stuck in a loop counting up then counting down or uses ALL APPLICATION MEMORY and I have to force quit.

The Creative Cloud desktop app meanwhile says "All files up to date" and the sync status in Lightroom Classic has ZERO ITEMS IN THE QUEUE. The only indication any sync is happening at tall is the small text above the nameplate in Lightroom Classic.

It seems to me like Adobe has changed something (behind the scenes) on their end requiring users to rebuild their sync database but that's just a hunch. Since most of my original files are stored on my desktop using Lightroom Classic (in sync'd collections) that is the machine that is most heavily impacted by syncing. All my other devices, laptop (using Lightroom CC) and iPad, iPhone are sync'd with no issues except their sync will not update with any new images imported with Classic- most likely because the sync on Classic never finishes.

Fully agree with all your statements below. Specially for the one that “Adobe has change something behind the scenes specially for the sync part. The reason that I agree so that all this issue has started suddenly without any change for my part except the upgrade of the macOS to the latest version, or at least it any an incompatibility between macOS and Lightroom was

Have you rebuilt your library? I was thinking of doing that when I get the time...

Same thing happens to me. I'm syncing lots of pics from mobile (around 4500 raw images). I'm using Lightroom Classic CC Version 7.3. I've had to force quit LR 3 times now in the process of syncing, and I'm still not done. It's taking days. All 16 GB of memory eventually ends up allocated to LR and my OS (Mac OS 10.13.4) warns me that I'm out of memory.

Hi Peter,

We're sorry to hear about the memory usage, let us help make this right. Thank you for providing the information, could you please make sure that you're using the latest version of Lightroom CC which is version 1.2 by going to Help > System Info?

Regards,
Sahil

Hi. Is there any news here on this issue? I have been experiencing the same thing. I just came back from Peru and needed to import around 5k photos from various camera devices. I had no problem importing images with my GoPro, but from my iPhone, iPad, and Sony Xperia phone the software kept pausing saying I was running out of memory, even when no other programs were running.

Specs

Computer: MacBook Pro 15in 2016 with 16gb RAM

OS: macOS Sierra version 10.12.6

Software: Adobe Lightroom 6 (version 6.12, Camera raw 9.12)

My catalogue has 24,500 photos in it and was originally created back in 2016. I suspect that there is some bug/leak in lightroom which is causing it to overuse memory as I recently deleted every file on my computer except for my lightroom library. Would rebuilding the library help or creating a new one? I see that there are several articles online regardless lightroom leaks but would like an official answer as to how to fix it. Thanks.

I should note that when I say transferring photos with my GoPro, I mean that I imported the photos/videos directly from the SD card, not that that should make any difference...
