Question

P: Regarding Sync Issues in 13.3 and removal of Sync Activity in Preferences

I installed Lightroom Classic 13.3 early Tuesday morning. It has been running almost constantly since. I have taken it down about three times and brought it back up. For at least the last 24 hours, when I hover my cursor over the Cloud icon in the upper right, I see "Uploading 13 photos". I have synched another collection and later unsynched another. During those times the number changes for a few minutes but soon returns to 13. I have captured a Lightroom Diagnostic file but am not sure how to get it to you.

 

Thanks, Alan Hunt.

Seems that simply editing a file with syn issues does no longer fix it.

This needs to be made more easy. Have Adobe list als files with issues and a re-sync button for them.

Without creating 10GB logs, pasting filenames one by one, removing and putting back files one by one.

 

Is there a 3rd party plugin to fix this yet?

Hi,  I have had images 'stuck' syncing ever since 13.4 release.  Bulk deletions in LRC were not syncing to the cloud.  More recently, DNG images generated by AI noise reduction were not synced to the cloud.  A number of conversations with Adobe support didn't lead to any conclusions.  However, I upgraded to release 13.5 today, and, surprisingly, all images now seem to sync.  I'm left with no indication of any stuck images but with a 'sync error' for which there is no information either in LRC or the cloud.

Dear LR community,
I've created a few collections that I've made public and shared the link to with a couple of people. LR has synchronized the images with the cloud, but the process is stuck at 15 images. Is there a reason for this and what can I do?
Ideally, I also don't want to lose the links that I have already shared with a few people.
Thank you and best regards

Since several weeks I'm waiting for the sync of 6 Pictures (4 up, 2 down) in LrC. I see no issue in the special folder for sync errors. It is possible to identify the 6 Pictures (name of path)? The generation of a dignoictic report does not come to an end.

I too have the lost files that refuse to upload, 122 to be exact. It was originally 128 when I first updated but after going through all of these replies here, I ran the diagnostics. Unfortunately, under the new sync errors location there are none even on the web version. Nothing in LR itself and nothing listed in the report under BinaryUploader, however there are a bunch of items listed under "Syncing Errors and Assets" in the diagnostic. I have 10 that are listed with the file names, so I went through and altered those slightly and after that it dropped from 128 to 122. I have ran LR over night in hopes it would sort itself but to no avail and after another running of the diagnostics those files are still listed. Beneath that section there are several listed "Document ID" which look to be encrypted and not specified file names and next to that it says "Sync Status" 'Uploading'. I have no idea where to find those folders or which images they are associated. Restarting both computer and LR has not changed anything and I am, like my LR sync status, stuck. 

 

For what it's worth, I am running LR 13.4 on 2015 MacBook Pro MacOS 12.7.5. Before I updated to 13, I had zero sync errors. 

 

Has anyone had luck downgrading to LR12 resyncing then upgrading back to LR13?

I should add that I have plugged in each of my external HD as well as opened LR on all 3 of my devices to help clear the uploads but that did nothing.

Lightroom classic always displays that there is one photo to be synchronized.
I explored everything based on suggestions I found (ADobe support online) to see what's going wrong but I don't find a solution.
Displaying the synchronization problems on the web doesn't mention any issues.

Perhaps see "UI Changes in Lightroom Classic 13.3 : in:

 

https://helpx.adobe.com/nz/lightroom-classic/kb/sync-faq.html

 

specifically, "If you see a sync that is stuck for a long time. "

I have 4 photos stuck in syncing and I'm unable to view why or which ones, as they aren't shown in sync errors or in view sync online as advised in the FAQ. I have a large catalogue and this has occured before requiring adobe support. Thanks!

* Sync errors catalog was (eventually) created, but only contained 3 images.

* I removed them, and LR is still showing "syncing 4 photos".

* Sync Status on web shows no issues/photos.

Running LRC 13.3.1 on MAC OS 14.5.   Sync is stuck on syncing 2 photos. There are zero issues when I check Sync Issues on Web.   If I try and sync images from a collection in LRC  or sync a image  from my iphone they sync just fine with no issues but I still end up with LRC saying there are 2 images syncing.   Tried to Chat with Adobe Support , after I told them that there were no images in Sync issues on Web they ended the chat.   

 

I was going to try to Rebuild Sync Data but I've seen multiple posts stating that that is no longer recommended.   I current have 1200+ images that synced

 

Any suggestions?

Well, you know, I did that before posting. Read every thread I could find. Nothing helpful.   If anyone wants to send me helpful suggestions I'd appreciate it.

hello 

 

I have a very stange LR classic sync problem with the Adobe cloud. Sync worked perfect since years but since last week I have my last 2 photo sessions which do not sync into the cloud even if they are shown in the view of “all synced photographs’”. LR mobile still syncs into LR classic with no problems …

 

I tried all:

 

  • shutdown with backup to re-structure library
  • deleting all photos in view “all synced photographs” so remove from the cloud and added back after
  • deleting only not synched photos in view “all synced photographs” so remove from the cloud and added back after
  • deleting cloud library on the web and re-sync all 34561 photos after again (worked for all photos except the ones not syncing ) 
  • un-sync and re-sync LR collection
  • deleting photos not syncing and re-importing with a different name 

 

nothing works … photos are shown in “all synced photographs” , the  Synced in local activity is shows green flag & no sync errors in sync consoled 

 

BUT the last two photo shot photos are not showing at all  in LR mobile or LR web !!!!

 

Any idea or tip on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated as I am out of ideas …

 

Thank you

My LrC has got stuck while syncing images. It started two weeks ago with LrC thinking, out of the blue, that there were thousands of images that needed syncing. It got down to 1714 images and now it's stuck there. I can se newly created albums showing up online but with no images gets synced. I re-installed LrC and removed plugins etc. Nothing changed. In the sync tab in the settings dialog, no errors show up.

Please help!
