Hello
my lightroom has not been working for three days. The loading wheel is spinning all the time and in the upper right corner I have the information - synch photos and unable to connect to network. I have space in the cloud and a paid subscription. The other programs are running normally.
How am I going to solve this problem. I'm working on the iOS system.

greetings

Hi Paul,

 

Sorry that Lightroom Desktop is not working on your computer as it keeps showing a spinning wheel.

 

Which exact version of Lightroom Desktop are you using and what is the version of macOS on your computer? 

 

Would you mind deselecting the option "Use Graphics Processor" located in Lightroom's Preferences > Performance menu, then relaunch the app and let us know if it helps?

 

If that does not help,  would you mind resetting the Lightroom app preferences to default? Press and hold the Shift + Option + Delete keys.(Mac) or Press and hold the Shift + Alt keys while starting Lightroom. A dialog box should appear asking you restore the preferences.

 

Thanks,

Akash

I was having this exact same issue after updating today. I was so mad because I have four sessions to edit. But I tried Akash's sugggestion of, "Deselecting the option "Use Graphics Processor" located in Lightroom's Preferences > Performance menu, then relaunch the app..." and it was an instant fix. So thankful!

I am working on a PC laptop (Dell).  Just today, I've experiencd a similar issue with Lightroom Classic.  In the Develop module, the little circle in the lower right corner of the highlighted photo keeps spinning.  I seem to be able to use tools, but the results of those tools are not visile on the photo.  When I return to the library mode, things are all right, but not in the develop mode.  I have to reboot my computer to get it to work, but then the same issue keeps recurring after a short while. What can I do to sort this out? Thank you.
