Hi, I’m traveling and working iPad-only (iPad Pro, left my MacBook Pro at home since I'm on vacation) and using Lightroom iPad as my cloud backup. A few photos refuse to sync, but on iPad there’s no way to see which files are stuck (no per-photo sync status, no errors, no filters). The iPad has ~250 GB free, all photos are from the same camera, no panoramas, no videos, and most files sync fine. I’ve tried restarts, updates, keeping the app open on Wi-Fi, etc. Is there any way on iPad to identify or force-sync the photos that are not uploading?

Hi @ToutEstDansTout

 

Thanks for sharing the details. I also have the same question as @Jim Wilde To help narrow this down and see what’s blocking the sync on iPad, could you please share a bit more information?

  • How do you identify that some photos are missing? You see them in your photo app and not in Lightroom?
  • Lightroom app version on the iPad
  • iPadOS version you’re currently running.
  • File type and size of the photos that are not syncing (for example: RAW format like ARW/CR3/NEF, approximate MB size).
  • Are the photos imported directly into Lightroom iPad or imported via Files app / Photos app?
  • Have you checked Lightroom Web (https://adobe.ly/3Nfxf3H) to see if those images appear there or show errors?

 

Once I have this, we can assist you better. Let us know if the issue is fixed or you still need assistance.

 

Regards,

Srishti

How have you determined that some photos have not synced?
