Question

I always have a few photos from each import that get hung up on syncing to LR

I've had it in the past where some photos get hung up on the syncing screen and never actually sync. Right now I have it knocked down to 17 but every time I upload more photos then there's always a few from every collection that gets hung up.

 

I have gone in and tried to add stars to get it to resync, I have deleted some and added them back in with no luck, and I just rebuilt sync data. I still am getting the same 'uploading' activity with no progress.

 

What other ways can I get it to sync properly? I'm on Windows 11 LR Classic version 14.2 and I do have a zip file with LR diagnostics from syncing.

Hi @bryanc31400415! 👋

Sorry to hear you're having issues with syncing in Lightroom Classic. Let's try clearing the Sync Error folder in Lightroom Web to see if that helps:


1. Open https://adobe.ly/3DuX5fw and select the Sync Error folder under All Photos.
2. If there are any images in the Sync Error folder, pause the sync function on all active devices and make sure you have a backup of the pictures you were trying to upload.
3. Clear the Sync Error folder and empty the Deleted folder.
4. Once that's done, reupload the images.

Let me know if this helps! Thanks so much! 😊

Alek

I'm not seeing a Sync Error folder on that link, but in lightroom classic I still have 17 images that aren't syncing.

Hi @bryanc31400415! Sorry we haven't been able to help yet.

Could you please check again if there's an error sync folder in Lightroom Web? You should find it in the top right corner. Another thing we can try is removing the photos that haven't synced yet from the collection and then adding them again. When you respond, make sure to @ my username so I get notified.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks a lot!

Cheers, Alek 


@Aleke I imported a few hundred wildlife photos over the weekend and I had 38 hung up in LR Classic but there was still no sync error folder on LR Web. I paused sync and then resumed and that cleared it up to 9 photos that were still not syncing. I had to manually go to each photo and add a couple adjustments so they would clear the sync folder.

 

Last friday I had cleared all my other photos not syncing, but ran into this issue again after importing more photos. I'm not sure why every time I import photos there's some that get hung up.
