Question

iPhone 11

I swapped my iPhone 6 for an iPhone 11.  Now photos taklen with the iPhone will not sync automatically to my Lightroom CC.  I get an exclamation mark and a blank (grey box) photo in Library section of Lightroom.  If I take a picture with the iPhone, it uploads to Apple Photos OK, it loads into Lightroom Mobile on the iPhone OK.  But, when I try to see the image on my macbook I get the greyed out problem.  (File attached with photo of screen)

So, can anyone help me sync my photos over Lightroom Mobile (it used to work)

 

I'm also confused as to whether I am running the latest version of Lightroom CC as it seems there is now Lightroom and Lightroom Classic.  I check for updates in the help tag but I'm still uncertain.

So, am I running the right version of Lightroom

Info from "System Info" as below:-

Lightroom version: CC 2015.14 [ 1149743 ]
License: Creative Cloud
Language setting: en-GB
Operating system: Mac OS 10
Version: 10.14.6 [18G87]
Application architecture: x64

    And yet another route

     

    Bring up Adobe.com, do not sign in (or sign in, might not matter)

     

    In the Search box type in "Creative Cloud App"  (or if pickey Creative Cloud Desktop App)

     

    First result, (perhaps 2nd) Download Creative Cloud Desktop App. Click on that.

     

    In the instructions. Instruction step 1. Creative Cloud Desktop App page,

     

    Hopefully the very page we have been trying to direct you to. Download

     

     

     

     

     

    Click on Download and Install

    And antother route

     

    Bring up Adobe.com  (Adobe dot Com)

     

    If not already signed in, do so

     

    Top right, net to yor account avitar, those nine dots, click on that.

     

    Over on the right, under your name, your account. Notice the quick links. Notice the one "Install Creative Cloud App" click on that.

    This failure for links to take you to the correct page is very wierd. Something in your Internet providwers DNS? I do not know.

     

    This should not be so hard.

     

    So a different approach. Look at the image below. Write down the URL that I went to. THen type that into your web bwoses URL box

     

     

     

    Here is a close up:

    I will assume that you have a copy of Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App. Apparently you have not been using that to get your updates. Perhaps it is an old version that had update issues.

     

    So, I will assume that you need to uninstall it, then reboot, then install a fresh new and updated copy.

     

    1. Follow the directions to uninstall the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App at the following link. Note this is just the one tool, not the various Adobe post processing programs like Lightroom:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

     

    2. Reboot

     

    3. Download and install a fresh new updated copy of the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop from:

    https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/desktop-app.html

    Thanks again for the help. I have a Creative Cloud Subscription which gets me "Lightroom" and Photoshop. I am uncertain if I am using Lightroom Classic or Lightroom. What I have been doing to update - I select the "help" tab at the top of the screen and select "Updates...". It says that I am up to date. If I follow the 3 steps you have given me am I likely to lose the photographs that I already have stored in LR or will the existing Catalogue remain untouched? Would it help if I posted a screen print of what I am using?

    Lightroom vs Lightroom Classic.

     

    First up, due to major marketing foulup at Adobe, the two products currently meant to be run on a computer have had various names that have confused the heck out of many if not all.

     

    But I will not list all the inteerations.

     

    Instead:

     

    Lightroom

    vs

    Lightroom Classic

     

    Lightroom Classic is the desktop version where you normaly keep your photos on a hard drive. This is the traditional Lightroom Program. If youy started way back with Lightomm v1, or 2, or 3, or 4, 5, or 6. This is the lightroom yuo are used to.

     

    Lightroom is the version where all photos are kept on the cloud, on the internet. You run the software on your computer, but the images are stored on the cloud. THis flavor of Lightroom is lacking in options and capabilities. This was an offshoot of the Mobil option in Lightroom Stand alone (and early Lightroom CC)

    Your Lightroom is years out of date.

     

    Current desktop (not cloud) is called Lightroom Classic and it is at v8.4.1

     

    Do not confuse this with what Adobe now calls Lightroom

    Perhaps because it is not listed in:

    Understood. I guess Adobe don't instantly update because apple release a new phone. I wonder how long they typically take to catch up? Thank you very much for the reply.
