P: Waiting for Settings

All of my photos and albums no longer show the edits I've made to the photos. On the right column where the editing window is. It says the following.

 

"Waiting for Settings.

This photo is missing updated settings 

Open Lightroom on that device to have edits synced"

 

I've only ever used the same iMac to make edits and that is what I have the app opened on now. So I'm very confused as to what is going on

@Rikk Flohr: Photography I'm hoping to bring this topic back up.  It is January 2024.  I am using Lightroom desktop 7.1.2, and I am getting the 'waiting for settings' error.  It was happening on about 20 images.  I discovered it because the images were not syncing to LrC (13.1) and showed as 'uploading' in the sync preferences window.  I went to Lr (which is where I started, imported images to cloud, edited, then let them sync/download to LrC).  I opened some of the 20 images in Lr and saw the waiting for settings error.  I went through and re-set about 15 of them as they were just nice to have images with minor edits.  There are about 5 images which I worked very hard on that I do not want to reset and lose all the edits for.  Are you able to re-open this issue?  Should I submit a new bug for it?  I have screen shots.

Good to know. At the end of the day, the Lightroom that I pay for monthly isn't working. Hopefully someone who works on LrC will fix this.

You are using Classic - version 12.3 .
Lightroom Desktop - 6.3 was fixed. 

They are completely different programs.

This helps, yes. Although, the reason why I posted here was because it is *not* fixed. I will start a new thread.

Unfortunately no. 

 

While the forum is the correct forum, this post is not the correct post. If you look at the original post it was macOS and is marked fixed.  The pinned reply shows the issue is closed. The Status in the right-column is 'Fixed'. Community experts and Adobe staff don't spend a lot of time in closed posts so you likely to languish unseen.

As I stated originally: "LrC on Mac (v12.3); "Waiting for settings" on my iOS devices. All the edits were made on the Mac". So, this is a Lightroom Mobile problem. Thus this is the right place to post this?

@Bill S. #2  Which surface is give you the error? That is a good place to start. If LrClassic, post in LrClassic Discussions and tag with your OS Token. If LrMobile - post in Lightroom Ecosystem Discussions and tag your device/devices. 

Search to see if a recent existing thread for that combo exists and add to it. If you can't find a similar recent thread, then post a new thread and include information about your devices, OS's, workflow etc.

Ok, so where should this problem be posted? It involves LrC on desktop (Mac) and the iOS app.

This thread is about Lightroom Desktop and not Lightroom Mobile. The fix that was put in was for that product. It looks like your previous post mentioned Lightroom Classic and Mobile.

@Rikk Flohr: Photography Is there a better place to continue this discussion? The "Waiting for Settings" problem has not been entirely fixed in the April update. My software is completely up-to-date, and I still have this problem. Reinstalling the iOS app did not help.
