Question

Lightroom stuck syncing 1 photo

Lightroom has been stuck syncing 1 photo for months now on my MacBook Air M1. MacOS Ventura 13.1, Lightroom 6.1 (December 7 2022).

My library is completely empty, and when filtering for syncing photos, I get the "O no, a black hole!" filter warning. 

On my iPad syncing works like it should. I have no stuck items on my iPad.

What can I do?

Hi there,

 

Which version of Windows are you on? Since when are you seeing this issue? Have you tried re-login?

 It would be great if we could see what you’re seeing. Please post a screen recording of what’s happening, and we will help sort it out. Here are instructions for making a screen recording - https://bit.ly/3Fkf5Vd.

 

Please hold down the ALT key in grid view while clicking on the cloud icon in the upper right. This should show you which photos are still trying to sync. From here, you would have the option to delete these and re-import them. Can you please try this step and confirm if this helped or not?

 

Regards,

Ranjisha

Hi Ranjisha,

 

I'm using the most recent macOS, not Windows. I tried deleting Lightroom, reinstalling a previous version, logging out and in. Language is Dutch, but I thinks the screenshot is quite clear. 

When my library was still empty, the web environment of Lightroom didn't show any remaining pictures (just like my iPad). It's only on my MacBook where one picture is stuck.

Have you checked in the Deleted album? Deleting an image which was still syncing is often a cause of the "stuck syncing", this would however be evident in the Deleted album (i.e. if so, it would appear with the blue syncing icon). Permanently deleting the image from the Deleted album would clear the issue.
