pixelated images

Hello, since the last update when i download images onto my i pad they are very pixelated. It is making editing almost nearly impossible.

How large (in pixels) are these photos? You zoomed in a lot, so sooner or later that will cause pixelation to show. How are these pictures 'downloaded' to the iPad? And check that Lightroom does not just keep a smart preview locally if you want to zoom in that much. That would also explain it.

24mp downloaded with a card reader and sandisk sd card. This is the original not a smart preview and are visible without being zoomed in. This is a new issue as I did not have this problem with the volleyball game I shot 2 weeks ago. It makes it difficult to reduce noise and clarity in the photos when editing.

You are zoomed in quite a bit - you can reduce noise at 100%.

I am zoomed in to show the issue. The photos are still pixelated when all the way zoomed out which makes it impossible to even see the noise to remove it.

Can you share a screenshot of the image at 100% so we can see the issue?

Difficult to show be cause once I save the image to my device the pixelation is not there

The question was for a screenshot (of the image displayed at 100% in Lightroom), not for the image itself.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at but I'll assume this is in LR on your iPad - about 100% - context helps, at least capture the LR interface. It's not pixelated - it is full of color noise and a little chromatic abberation around the top of the helmet. You should be cleaning up noise at 100% - that is how the image will be viewed.
