Lightroom 5.4 to Lightroom Mobile sync is soooo slow - why no local sync?
I am testing the new Lightroom 5.4 with Lightoom Mobile. What really annoys me is the fact that all photos are going up to the Creative Cloud. I have private pictures which should be private. Always. No upload. No Cloud sync. It is important!
Speed is the next major problem. LR 5 is way too slow for a fluid workflow. But this is mentioned from other users.
What absolutely makes me sad ist the sync speed of LR5.4 to LR Mobile. 100 Photos took up to 4 hours. On a typical wedding I have 2000+ images. Depending on the speed of the first 100 photos I have to wait 80+ hours? Are you kiddding me? This makes LR Mobile unusable. My clients are expecting results fast. Speed is one factor to the next contract.
Overall, I don't want to sync anything into the Cloud. I want a to use my fast local sync via WiFi or USB. Only those two options. I want to sync photos even without any internet connection successfully and quickly.
I'm fine with authentication with Adobe servers for licensing verification. But that's it. The rest should be configurable by the users whether they Cloud sync or not.
Tom, thank you for taking your time to come here and enlighten us with the decision making process behind what was done. Like it was said before here, the Lightroom Mobile so far has been very, very frustrating. I came home very excited to test it and make my dream come true. To be able to take my catalog (or a shoot) with me on the subway, etc and be able to choose the photos on my iPad. See, I am a photographer and I shoot mainly fashion and beauty, so my workflow starts as soon as I finish shooting by importing all images into Lightroom and then going through the painstaking process of choosing which picture to use. I would shoot anywhere between 5-12 looks in a day, around 100 photos per look and at the end of the process I need to choose only one photo from each look. This normally involves going back multiple times to be able to get to only one from each look. The LR Mobile would have been the perfect solution for me, making me able to look at photos while out of the office, on the subway, at home, etc. It would have made my editing process much faster (or less slow). Instead, I've been sitting and waiting for 6 hours so far and only 18 photos showed up on my iPad (from the 500+ that were chosen to be synced from my desktop LR. Now I know it's not my internet that is making it that slow because I have 80+Mbps of download and 40+Mbps upload. And that haven't helped me much as my LR is stuck on "Syncing 527 photos" for the last 5 hours. Most professional photographers that I know deal with a huge amount of photos from a photoshoot. Wedding, fashion, advertising, we all shoot 1000+ images in any given work day. To come home and have to wait 100 hours before we are able to edit on the iPad is just not useful. This will be useful for the amateur photographer that will take photos of their children/dog/flowers and want to be able to show their guests the photos without having to get them in front of the computer.
Now I understand what you said about having to have a centralized place so that all the clients up to date on the changes, and I think that is great but I also think that it's paramount that there's a different way of syncing, a faster, more efficient way. Even if it is, like mentioned, not a "everything in sync" solution. Something like sync the desktop to the iPad and only those two work together. If both are changed before the next sync, a "the 'blabla' catalog has been changed since you last synced, do you want to overwrite it?" takes care of the problem, much in the same way that Photoshop asks us when we are saving something that has been somewhat modified by some external agent between saves. But the beauty of shooting all day, loading everything in Lightroom at night at the hotel and in the morning catch your flight and edit your shoot on the iPad while traveling, or being able to show the clients on the iPad right after you shot the wedding, or (what I was dreaming was going to be possible just to have my dreams crushed when started to use it) shooting tethered on the job and giving the art director the iPad so that he/she can see the shots without having to stay in front of the computer during the whole shoot. Now THAT would be a game changer! That was what I was expecting from LR Mobile but unfortunately got disappointed. I'd pay for the app alone if it did that!

Local sync of Contacts and Calendars
I have not yet upgraded to Mavericks, I usually wait to see how things shake out. I just found out that Mavericks disables local syncing of Contacts, Calendars and Keychains. This may be a great convenience for some, but I prefer to maintain my personal information locally.
Did I misunderstand this? Is Contact, Calendar and Keychain syncing only available through iCloud?
Has anyone found a way to circumvent the requrement to sync only through iCloud and allow local sync through iTunes like it works on 10.8.5 and previous?
Thanks,
AndyThis would be a reason for me not to upgrade.

Hi here!!
Imagine: last of last Thuntherbird version, last of last lighning and last of last Windows or Linux (Ubuntu) desktop OS
Imagine: last of last PIM with last of last Android OS
Imagine: SyncML or other sync protocol.
Any way to "LOCAL" sync PIM with Descktop OS to thuntherbird/lighning/contacts??? "LOCAL" not via "SERVER/CLOUD"
Any official solution??
I googling and reading for a lot of days and only found older entries and blogs references, closed and discontinued add-ons ... and very difficulties to get an official or up to date approach for local sync.
Thanks guys!!Hi Matt, thanks for your reply.
Nop! ... we're loocking for LOCAL (USB, bluetooth, Serial, parallel, ... maybe connecting to client ip on local network ethernet or wifi) as you can use with MS Active sync utility program with palm PIM/ android PIM and Windows PIM with outlook on Microsoft enviroment.
(not the exchange active sync protocol EAS via Exchange server) that you mention.
We're looking for an LOCAL approach without "Server/cloud" involved. A simplest solution possible to single/easy user with "a PIM" + "a Computer". User will not install own server or use cloud or external servers. Directly synchronization as is always used before "user forced cloud".
thanks anyway man! -

lightroom mobile syncing is super slow and stop for no reason. cannot resume syncing. no idea with the progress of syncing. cannot sync the original file from mobile into desktop. stuck and cannot process any further.
Hi. Did you trigger a delete data via LR preferences ->Lightroom mobile.
I'm not seeing a catalog connected to your account.
Did you import originals via the connection-kit?
Thanks

I have just upgraded from Lightroom 5 standalone to Lightroom 6 standalone. I appear to have been automatically enrolled for a 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. Reading the FAQ, it appears that after the expiry of the free trial, if I do not sign up and pay, I will only be able to view my pictures on the desktop but not edit them - surely this cannot be true. How do I un-enroll for the 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and CC?
When I was signed into Adobe (which was a requirement for installing the upgrade), Lightroom 6 told my at the top right corner that I had 30 days left of my free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. In parallel with this forum posting, I am chatting with Adobe support. he is away to find out how to prevent any synching with Creative Cloud during the 30 day free trial. I do not think that Creative Cloud is an application that gets installed on your PC. I think Lightroom 6 has it built in, and can use it if if you are signed up to the Creative Cloud and Lightroom Mobile (which I am for 30 days)

Local Sync option for LR mobile
I want to ask Adobe to provide a local sync option between LR and LR Mobile. Going through the cloud each time is both slow and wasteful.
I, like many other have a monthly limit on my data allowance for uploading and downloading, synching through the cloud all the time uses up this allowance, additionally it is slow, it took me about 8 hrs to sync 1500 pics.
Please provide a local sync option for IPad, either by cable, or preferably, Local WIFI or even bluetooth.
Stop the waste and make it faster.
RegardsI have the same problem, unfortunately. I've tried all above.

Because I listened to Adobe earlier today about whither uninstalling Elements would affect Photoshop and Lightroom on my computer, Lightroom no longer sees Photoshop in the EDIT IN Menu of Lightroom. I found an article on the help site saying to delete the filecom.adobe.Photoshop.plist, which I looked for, its not there so it can't be deleted. The next step is to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall. This isn't an option because of all the plug-ins and modifications of the work space. Does any one have a better solution?

I am a current Lightroom 5.7 user - I have purchased and installed Lightroom 6, but have not launched the program yet - will LR 6 make changes to my LR 5 catalog, such that it cannot be used in LR5?
Also, can LR6 and LR CC 2015 share the same catalog?Lightroom 6 will require an updated database are catalog format. When you first start Lightroom 6 after you have installed it, it will prompt you to upgrade your catalog. This will create a new copy of your catalog in the new format, leaving your Lightroom 5 catalog intact and usable if you still have Lightroom 5 installed. Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC can use the same catalog. But they cannot share the same catalog because that catalog must be installed locally on both computers. The Lightroom catalog cannot be placed on a network drive.

I want to upgrade from Photoshop Elements 5 to Lightroom 5. Can Lightroom 5 read/convert a Photoshop Elements 5 catalog including all of the tags, captions, etc, or is Elements 5 too old for Lightroom 5 to read/convert? What's the best way to migrate? (My catalog has over 100k images in it.)
Adobe changed the catalog software from PSE6 onwards to the SQLite database – as used in Lightroom.
Earlier versions of PSE including PSE5 used a Microsoft Access database, stored in a file called [Catalog Name].psa.
If you have already embedded keywords and captions by writing file info into the images they should be readable even if catalog conversion fails. Lightroom does have the ability to import a PSE catalog but in view of the age of PSE5 I would recommend downloading the 30 day free trial of LR5.6 and then you can judge the level of success of catalog conversion.

Hello, good morning! I have the creative cloud photography (photoshop + lightroom) anda suddenly my Lightroom is giving error asking serial. Where I find my serial? Help me!!!
Hi Morana,
Adobe Creative cloud applications do not have any serial numbers. They are activated through your adobe id.
Please refer to the help document to fix this issue:

Building smart previews much slower in Lightroom 6 than in Lightroom 5
Building smart previews is much slower in Lightroom 6 than in Lightroom 5.
Creating a smart preview from a DNG (Fuji X-E1 raw file) takes about 12 seconds.
Enabling/disabling GPU accelaration does not really make a difference.
When monitoring the Lightroom process with Process Explorer the GPU usage is always 0.
Below is my system specification.
Anyone got some idea why this might be?

I have lightroom 5.7 installed, and have just downloaded / installed Lightroom CC, but although lightroom 5 runs ok, Lightroom CC will not run, any ideas please.
What seems to be working for many users (myself included) is to sign out of CC and then sign back in. After signing back in, LR will run.
