Question

"Waiting for Settings"

I have no idea what's going on, but for some reason, my edits are not syncing with each other on just ONE singular photo. Everything else I do is syncing up. I have closed both of them, and I have waited more than 24 hours. I honestly don't know what to do. I would really rather not reset my edits considering I have spent more than enough time editing them in the first place. I don't get what's going on. Can't tell if this is a bug or something on my end... here's my following information:

 

1.

LR version 7.5.2 (Mobile)

LR version 5.5 (Mac)

 

2. 

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018)

MacOS Version 12.6

 

iPhone SE 2020

iOS 16

 

3. 

No idea how to reproduce the problem. Was working on multiple layers for the edit (about 20) and was finishing up the last touch and all of a sudden the edits were no longer syncing

 

4. 

Supposed to sync when editing, and it does for every other photo except this one itself

    I have the same problem more than a year later so assume Adobe haven't delivered a fix?

    Doing small edits on LR moble isn't the answer for me - there are too many photos

      Went searching for this same issue as I'm now experiencing it, came across this thread. Went to revisit some photos in LR Mobile that are synced from LrC on my mac and am now getting the "waiting for settings" message, yet sync is not paused on either device and nothing is in queue. My set up is:

       

      LRC version 8.5.1 (Mobile)

      LRC version 12.5 (Mac)

       

      M1 MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)

      MacOS Ventura 13.6

       

      iPhone 14

      iOS 16.7

       

      Curiously this photo (and a few others from this set) are in an album where the majority of the photos are synced and do not produce this error message. About 5 of the 42 images in the album do, however.

      Hi,

       
      do you know which machine that is? Which clients do you use on that machine?
      The message means exactly what it's stating, some client used on that machine never finished uploading by some reason.
      Could you had done those edits with Classic? What could help us would be a diagnostic log ( Lr Desktop/Preferences/option key pressed), but it needs to be shared with us privately.

      thanks,
      Ignacio

      I'm seeing this exact same error on LR mobile and LR desktop. The message references the machine name which makes me believe it has to do with Lightroom Classic.

      I have a strong suspicion that this related to recent upgrades and in PARTICULAR I recently upgraded LrC and it did a catalog update. Ok, my telepathic debugging skills are imperfect but is it possible some state didn't get migrated to the new catalog? Obviously I have right now LrC (with new catalog) running, it's fully synced.

      in the attached files you can see that the photo was NEVER edited in Classic, but suspiciously the date that it was imported into classic is the date that mobile is waiting for?? Look a the history in the classic screen shot.

      Thanks for the information, I believe that you are running into a bug here, the question is what the source is.
      The dialog that you see in LrC points out your WOODFRAGBOX machine which I assume is not a device with iOS or Android.

      Can you share a screen shot from iOS?

      Thanks,
      Ignacio


      Howdy, Ignacio, can you see both of my screenshots? They were taken on the same Windows PC (WOODFRAGBOX) at the same time. One of the is from Lightroom Classic, the other is from Lightroom "No Last Name" (the desktop LR that is related to the mobile codebase.) I am seeing the error in LR "No Last Name" on the PC. I have also seen it on iOS but I believe it is the same error. (It looks exactly the same and LR "No Last Name" is the desktop port of the mobile LR.)
