Hey guys.

 I just switched from using lr on my iPad to a desk top.

all is going well except one thing.

so I'm doing the 9.00 dollar subscription so I can use it on desktop as well as mobile.

  In my library of photos I can't get the meds data in the thumbnails. Shutter speed, iOS and stuff.

when i look on my iPad it's all there but not on the windows based lr.

  I have no 3 dots in the right corner with view on it.

is it just available? It is on os

thanks for any help

Does this represent the view you are hoping for?

I can get that screen on the desktop. And it has all the info but I was trying to get that on the thumbnails in my library.

  When I go over to the iPad it gives me the option to view it in library.

If it is just the View Menu you are trying to find, that is at the Top Left next to file.  I would have to compare between the iPad and Desktop, but I have a feeling they are similar menu's.

That's what I was reading everywhere but mine doesn't have view options my iPad does

Lightroom & Lightroom Mobile only display a certain amount of the metadata and not all of it from my experience.  Are you able to see the panel in the screen shot I've provided?  If you aren't able to see if, there is a button in the bottom right hand corner that toggles it on and off. 

If this isn't your problem, feel free to clarify 🙂
