I'm having this problem too.  CC is logged in.  But after seeing "get started with Adobe Lightroom" (I thought I already had) I clicked and saw a dialogue ("Lightroom mobile") to sign in (again, thought I already was) and it kept appearing and disappearing.  Managed to enter my login credentials very quickly whilst it was there with the message "Connecting...", but after that the window just appears for a fraction of a second then disappears again, and repeats that ad nauseam.

Looks extremely bug-like to me.

What to do ?

Hi Philip,

Please update the Lightroom version to the latest one, so that this will work.

Sync will not work for users who are on version <=CC 2015.4

Thanks,

Arjun

I'm already using Lightroom CC 2015 10.1 (build 1117303) - which is the latest version.

I am having the exact same issues as stated above. I can't log into my Lightroom mobile from my desktop but I am logged in on my phone. This has been an issue for over a month. Can one of the staff members please help me?

Hi Amanda,

What is the version of Lightroom Desktop you are using ?

If the version is less than 6.5, then please update to the latest version for sync to work.

Thanks,

Arjun

1) What happens when you quit and restart Lightroom ?

2) Can you try to sign in again from the identity plate (Get started from Lightroom mobile) ?

Thanks,

I am having the same problem and have followed all the recommended steps in this list which have not helped
Was on an earlier version of LR 6 CC but it said I had to upgrade to use mobile sync. Trouble was it wouldn't update so I download 15.10 manually and installed it but no matter how I launch and login LR does not allow or show me being logged into LR Mobile to sync

Just for information to all the users :

1) Sync will not work for Lightroom versions < 6.5 (Meaning versions 6.4 and less)

2) Because of this login will not work from the identity plate ('Get started through Lightroom mobile')

So if any of you are facing this issue, please update to the latest version.

Thanks,

Arjun

Solution:

dear all i had this problem and was helped remote by Adobe support.

The solution was:

1. Uninstall Adobe Lightroom AND delete all settings (it only deletes your workbench set-up, not folders and files etc.). 

2. Indtall the newest Adobe LR Update patch directly from Adobe.com (not through CC).

Afterwards it worked perfectly with mobile sync.

Hope the solution helps you as it helped me.

How do I best uninstall Adobe Lightroom AND delete all settings?

Participant

I have the same issue with my Imac.

When I click on the "Connect" for LR Mobile, nothing happens i Lightroom.

When I try to update Lightroom via CC I am notified that I cannot update  (U44M1P7). What do I do?  Have had continuous problems with this since I bought the subscription.

And when I try to ask for help it says I don`t have access to publish here. Do you need to be an IT engineer to use Adobe lightroom?

I've reinstalled Lightroom, restarted my Macbook Pro, checked to see my Creative Cloud App is updated and just about tried everything but my problem still persists.

Lightroom won't allow me to sign into my account for Lightroom Mobile Sync. After putting in my information and trying to sign in, the whole login just blanks out and seems to loop forever.

Please help!

Hi ,

1) What version of Lightroom CC are your running ?

2) Is it that you are able to see your account under the help menu, but not in the identity plate ?

3) Just for your information, if you are using Lightroom version <=6.4, then please update to the latest version, as sync is disabled on Lightroom versions <=6.4.

Thanks,

Arjun

Thanks for responding, I see this under System Info:

Lightroom version: CC 2015.9 [ 1106920 ]

License: Creative Cloud

Operating system: Mac OS 10

Version: 10.12 [3]

And I don't see the identity plate. I've reinstalled Lightroom twice now and I think I have the latest version but I can't be too sure. Lightroom Mobile still won't sync. it still says Get Started with Lightroom Mobile and has the endless loop when trying to log in.

Hi,

I have a similar Problem.

Lightroom shows me that I'm logged in with my Adobe ID (macOS, on the help panel in the menu bar).

But when I open the dropdown menu of my Identity Plate It shows:

Sync with Lightroom Mobile               Sign In

When I click Sign In I can log in using my AdobeID, then the window dissappears and nothing has changed.

I tried logging out of my Adobe ID and logging back in. I updated to the last version.

The Creative Cloud App seems to be up to date as well. But still, I can't log into Lightroom Mobile Sync.

I'm looking forward to resolve this issuer soon.

Best regards,

Roland

Dear friends,

I reinstalled my Adobe Lightroom yesterday. And now I have exactly the same problem.

Tried to reboot, reinstall CreativeCloud and Lightroom 3 or 4 times, tried to use all the steps (fix host files and etc).

What should I do now?

My Adobe ID is the same like here on the forum.

Thanks.

Sincerely yours,

Igor

Hello, i am having exactly same issue. Cant sign in to my Lightroom mobile through the desktop app. Using mac. Everything was working fine until few days back. Now nothing is working for me. Tried to reinstall few times, sing on and off. Still the same. When i click to sing in and enter my login details the window just disappears and nothing happens. This is very annoying as i need to use lightroom sync between my desktop and iPhone on daily basis. Please help.

Regards

Tom

Could you try to re-sign-in via the Creative cloud app preferences. Quit Lr Desktop, re-sign-in via the CC app and restart Lr Desktop.

Let me know if that helps.

Hello Guido,

thanks for your reply.

I have already tried that like 6 times. Both yesterday and today. I have unistall all my adobe suite apps and tools, everything, and reinstall it. That didn't solve the issue. Still the same, click oin the "Get started with Lightroom mobile" and when i fill in my acc. details, the window dissapears and im am not signed in. If i click again to sign in, window pops up saying connecting and dissapears in a second. Still not signed in. If i restart Lightroom the process repeats. This is very frustrating issues as i was using lightroom - instagram workflow every day. Please HELP
