Lightroom 6 mobile sync "waiting for connection"

This seems to have been a problem for a while, I've never really used the Lightroom mobile sync but decided I would give it a try. I have an iMac with the latest os version and a standard cable modem and network setup. Lightroom just always says waiting for connection in the identity plate. I'm wondering if it's a firewall issue or something, but I can't find any info on ports that need to be opened or anything like that. My router uses upnp. I've tried solutions I could find like deleting all data from online etc. in Lightroom preferences. Can you give me any help with this? Thanks.

I have updated, restarted etc etc and mine still wont actually sync - it says 'waiting for connection' but unlike others this isnt just a display bug - its not actually syncing at all with my laptop, which is very annoying.
I have disabled all antivirus FWs etc - nothing.
I am signed in - my details are shown etc as being signed in - but if I go to preferences and then 'lightroom mobile' it shows my Adobe ID as 'not signed in' - so if I click join it opens Adobe screen in Browser and brings up my account which am already signed into! cant do anything - cant even 'delete all data'

Hi, My Lightroom CC is showing waiting for connection and the mobile sync is not working. I have tried deleteing lrsync data, disabling firewall, checked host file etc. Still no luck.

I had the same problem. It fixed itself when I opened Internet Explorer (I don't normally use it). I was opening Support Portal to get some support help, but I'm not sure if it was the page or simply opening IE that did the trick.

Lightroom 5.7 permanently 'Waiting for connection'

Hi,
I'm using LR 5.7 on a Mac running OS X 10.10.1. I use LR mobile occasionally, and I've noticed over the past few days that it permanently shows 'Waiting for connection'. I've read the advice to other people in these forums; disabling firewall, deleting all synced data and deleting the Sync.lrdata folder, but none of this has had any effect.
How can I get this working?
Best Wishes,
Dean

Hi; sorry for the delay in replying; I seem to have notifications turned off for forums, and I haven't been back.
greule sent me instructions for turning on some logging options that create a lot of data and impact performance. I sent the logs to him so he could take a look. If he wants to share these instructions more widely I'm sure he will. Otherwise I suggest you start a new thread; he responded to me within a day.
It turns out that I was using LR at work, and it seems that the office network blocks something that LR uses to connect to the server. Everything is working fine when I connect at home.

LR5 will not Sync - "Waiting for connection" above my name

I constantly get the error "Waiting for connection" and the Sync and Sync Setting buttons are not available. I have full internet access with high-speed cable modem.
Mac OS 10.9.5 fully up to date as well as all CC apps.
Please advise?connection err

Your post is unclear and lacks important info.
1. What OS does your laptop use?
2. What iOS version is on your phone?
3. "also my iTunes store will not open it is saying that there is no internet connection, but my internet is connected because i use it on my laptop": If you mean your iPhone reports not being connected to the internet, are you using WiFi or cell data connection (i.e. 3G)?

Getting "waiting for connection" message in Lightroom 5.5 sync to mobile

I have tried turning off and on the lightroom mobile sync and signing out and back in. Neither started the sync. What else can I try ?

mdjcrook,
I think your sync being stuck and the 'waiting for connection' message were two different issues and would advise you - if you get stuck again - or anyone else reading this thread that is stuck syncing and with the 'waiting for connection' to NOT use 'Delete All Data'
If you are seeing the 'waiting for connection' message and sync is working, ignore it as that bug just prevents properly showing the sync status but not the actual sync activity. We are working on trying to figure out why this gets stuck in this state - it appears to be network related - but we haven't found anything definitive yet.
If you are seeing the 'waiting for connection' message and you sync is stuck then please generate a diagnostic log (Preferences -> Lightroom Mobile -> (Hold Alt/Option key) and click 'Generate Diagnostic Log' and then private message that file to me and we can hopefully determine the real cause of the stuck sync and a workaround that will prevent you having to use the 'Delete All Data' hammer.

Lightroom by default only reads and writes to the Catalog file.
There is the option in Lightroom preferences if selected to "automatically write metadata to xmp"
You can also achieve this from the menu bar Metadata> save metadata to file.
That said, as far as I know, Lightroom will only read metadata from a file at Import or if you choose from the menu bar Metadata> Read metadata from file.
yes i know, the problem is that if the catalogue is an external storage, with raw's and xmp, if I choose Metadata > Read metadata from file, has no effect!

LR CC - Waiting for connection forever

Just updated to LR CC from LR5 on my Creative Cloud account. In LR5 it would say "waiting for connection" but it would still sync my collections. Now in LR CC, it still says Waiting for Connection, but it's not syncing any more. How do I fix this? Yes I do have a connection - everything else connects (dropbox, onedrive, web browsers, etc).
Any ideas?

I am having the same issue. It also states that I need to "join" and that I am on a 30 trial of the software. However, I have a paid creative cloud account and subscription. It's a student/teacher edition and subscription with access to all software.
I am also showing "waiting for connection" that seems to never connect. But it is also syncing to all my devices no problem. This is in both LR 5 and LR CC

Adobe Updater flashes a message on my screen once a week that says "No Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and/or firewall. Waiting for connection..." Everything else works perfectly on my Internet connection.

I'm experiencing a similar problem.
I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011. I was using Lion (not Mountain Lion) with CS3 with no problems. Recently I installed a new hard drive in my computer and used Time Machine to transfer all my files and settings (still with Lion; I did not try to open any Adobe applications at this point). Then I udpated to Mavericks. Upon trying to open one of the Adobe applications, it told me I needed to reinstall CS3. I inserted the original disc and followed the instructions on the ReadMe file. I went to Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers > Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. I did a reinstall, and at the end, it said that some of the components failed to install (see screenshot):
I did a partial install (not all CS3 applications), so there could have been more errors than this if all applications were installed. The applications themselves appear to work fine, but when I try to run the updater, it tells me I have no internet connection.

Acrobat updater works just fine [after I install the manual updates till 9.2.0].
Can you tell me where to find these manual updates? I looked on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/collection.jsp?collID=1&platform=Macintosh
but I don't see 9.2.0 for any of the CS3 applications.
The CS3 that I purchased (Design Premium) came with Adobe Acrobat 8. I tried to manually install the 8.1.1 update. It said, "Please choose the copy of Adobe Acrobat Professional to update", but the application is grayed out (see below). I did not try to install any other manual updates, yet.
I'm not sure what to do here besides use my CS3 applications the way they are without updating them ever. (I would rather not subscribe to the Creative Cloud.) Any help will be appreciated. I might try doing a complete unintall followed by a fresh install.

My bluetooth is keep searching, even my headset is waiting for connection

my Motorola HS-850 used to work fine with iPhone. But after last time i restored the iPhone, the phone was kept searching and searching even without showing the "Device" bar. i am sure the headset is set to waiting for connection because my laptop can find it but the iPhone just can't. i even tried my friend's iPhone and it works fine the headset. i've also tried several headsets and no luck. The status is keep cricling without showing the "Device" list. i guess it's the iPhone problem because even no headset can work with it, there still should be a "Device..." column without any device list on it, right?
i hope someone has seen this problem before and can help me to solve it, thanks.

I had the same trouble. It worked fine a few times. Then nothing. Just a spinning wheel. Doesn't even show up in the menu bar anymore. It's not powering on as far as I can tell.
What I did was use the SETTINGS > RESET > RESET ALL SETTINGS button. It seemed to free it from whatever loop it was in. It just takes a bit of effort to set up your wallpaper, wifi, passcode and phone faves and weather channels and probably some other settings that I don't know are missing yet.
It's fixable, but who knows why it is happening?

Why is there a 'waiting for connection' in top left of LRCC?

I installed the LR CC, no problems seemingly. What gives with the "Waiting for Connection" in the Nameplate area. I'm obviously (to me anyway) that the connection for my computer to the internet is working - witness my posting this message.
Also the pulldown from the same area flashes and blinks off.

MMP 5.2p2 'waiting for connection; X on queue' errors, X increasing

Shortly after manually upgrading our standalone POP/IMAP multiplexors to 5.2 Patch 2, we started experiencing problems where the CPU utilization of the AService process would drop to almost nothing, and this message would begin to appear in the logs:
20060328 161950 PopProxyAService.cfg (ldap 0x4bb0d8) (uid=redacted) waiting for connection; 10 on queue
20060328 161952 PopProxyAService.cfg (ldap 0x819c50) (uid=another.redacted) waiting for connection; 11 on queue
20060328 161952 PopProxyAService.cfg (ldap 0x817918) (uid=redacted3) waiting for connection; 12 on queueThis message continues with the value increasing:
20060328 163719 PopProxyAService.cfg (ldap 0xcae928) (uid=redacted4) waiting for connection; 235 on queue
20060328 163733 PopProxyAService.cfg (ldap 0xcb13c8) (uid=redacted5) waiting for connection; 236 on queue
20060328 163809 PopProxyAService.cfg (ldap 0xcb5250) (uid=redacted6) waiting for connection; 237 on queue... until AService is restarted.
At first blush, it looks like something is making the LDAP connection wedge, and it's not timing out for some reason, but that's a guess.
I see that someone on the Info-iMS list had the same problem shortly after installing 6.1 back in September 2004:
http://lists.balius.com/pipermail/info-ims-archive/2004-September/019517.html
Has anyone else seen this or know if this has been identified as a specific bug ... or is a symptom of something else?

That's the problem. THere IS no timeout for the
situation you've gotten into, where MMP (or messaging
server itself) believes a connection exists, and is
active, but gets no response.That's unfortunate. It sounds like a useful timeout for a number of circumstances.
The solution is to refresh all connections so you
don't get into this situation.Unfortunately, the LdapRefreshInterval doesn't appear to be a documented option for 5.2p2, but only for 6. Can you confirm this?
The overhead of binding and unbinding once every 10
minutes or so is very, very minimal.Fair enough.
The latter, if it exists, would be a much more
precise way of handling our symptom. Well, actually, the real problem is that the
connection between MMP and LDAP is getting silently
severed by the load balancer. That's something
that's BAD for both LDAP and for MMP.
Causes fd leaks in ldap, as it never knows when to
close what it beleives is an active connection. It
will attempt to close, but, since it can never get an
ack back after the load balancer severs the
connection, it can't fully close it.
This is truly a bad situation, and it's easy to fix.
recycle the connections before the LB cuts you off.It looks like our LB has an idle timeout of 1 hour, with any traffic at all resetting the timer. In other words, it doesn't look like the LB that's causing the wedge. There is also no internal LB probing going on.
From ulimit/plimit/pfiles output, I've also learned that the slapd user currently has a 65536 FD cap. I've been monitoring the FD usage of the slapd process for the past couple of days, and our LDAP servers have not been getting above 1000. We've also had multiple lockups in that period of time. So running out of FDs may not be causing our problem.
You're very clear about what you want.
Unfortunately, you are not correct about what is
s possible.Perhaps our definitions of 'possible' need some negotiation. :) You're saying that the MMP can't do this today, which I accept as fact. But the pieces are all there, as far as I can see.
The MMP keep close track of how many queries have been served by a particular LDAP connection, how many are on queue without being serviced, and the age of the existing connection. In other words, the app has all the information necessary to do what I'm describing: notice that a connection hasn't actually gotten a response back in X seconds, and terminate it.
Since the app doesn't support what I'm yearning for, this is academic at this point, so I agree that it's time to take a different tack. I don't want to appear ungrateful for your responses. I appreciate the time you've spent on this issue with me. I'm just trying to understand the underlying issues.
So I find myself in these unfortunate circumstances:
1. 5.2 doesn't lock up.
2. No other applications using our LDAP are experiencing any hung LDAP connections (neither at the TCP level nor at the LDAP application level), even though they're using the same LB front-end.
3. From the output of plimit/pfiles, our LDAP servers are configured to handle far more file descriptors than they're consuming. The FD theory appears to not apply.
4. Our LB is configured to time out after 1 hour of inactivity.
5. It seems unlikely that any of the LDAP connections coming from the MMPs are reaching the 1-hour threshold, considering how high-volume they are for POP, unless they are distributing queries across connections very asymmetrically. Even at 3am, there are enough people who leave their computers on all night who check every 1 minutes that the connections are almost never idle for more than a few tens of seconds.
Based on the above, it's hard for me to not conclude that 5.2.p2 appears to either have a regression bug that's causing the wedge itself, or has changed the way that it handles some types of timeouts.
We cannot use 5.2 because we need a bugfix that is in 5.2p2. We appear to not be able to use 5.2p2 because it has this lockup problem that 5.2 does not.
My 'strings' search for LdapRefreshInterval on the AService binary and Pop/IMAP libraries turns up nothing. Can you confirm that 5.2p2 does or does not support this feature?
If not, and the only solution is to use LdapRefreshInterval, do you know if II can run 6.x MMP on our multiplexor boxes and leave 5.2 running on our back-end systems?

Whilst syncing "waiting for changes to be applied" error // iphone 4s

Hi Guys,
I am experiencing a "pause" in syncing when the iphone is connected resulting in a message "waiting for changes to be applied".......
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Removing the iphone photo cache as suggested elsewhere has not solved the problem either, nor has restoring the iphone (twice).
Thanks

What seems to work for me is to uncheck photos (then sync) and recheck photos (sync).
If the sync doesn't work I 'X' out to cancel the never ending sync, unplug then reconnect iPhone and try again.
My first iPhone, being the 4S and in my research it seems this issue goes back to early 2011. Apple c'mon.

Cannot Sync - Waiting for changes to be applied

Cannot sync iphone. It recognizes the phone and will perform the backup upon connection but I am getting a message that says "waiting for changes to be applied" and it will not sync. I have iphone 4 with OS 5.1.1 and Windows 7 with SP1. I had to dump my Windows 7 and reintall. All software seemed to have installed correctly and without issue.
Restarted iPhone, Restarted computer. Made sure computer is authorized and iPhone is recognized in iTunes. Transferred purchases from iPhone may or may not have worked.
Please help!

Alright, so I reset my computer and suddenly it then recovered. Other times it wouldn't recover after resetting the computer, so I have no idea how it happened. I just restarted the computer lots of time and finally it worked.
Okay, back to square one. Now to transfer music, I tried my previous acknowledgable solutions but they didn't work. The iPod touch does not feature a hard-disk mode, and windows media player doesn't support iPods.
I've tried multiple programs to transfer music but none of them work properly and keep giving me error codes. So my iPod still gets stuck at Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied or whatever it said.
Thanks in advance ._. (Please help)
p.s - Apple is useless. If I don't get steady answers tomorrow I'm going to end up calling them and get this problem fixed first hand. Second hand? I don't know, over the **** phone.

SAP installation guiengine:No GUI server connected;waiting for connection

Hi All,
I need one help
I am trying to install SAP ECC 6 in Redhat Linux 5 and database oracle
I have installed java 1.4.2_16, I have set the environmental variables also.
But if I start the SAP installation by executing SAPINST , I am facing the below error
guiengine: No GUI server connected; waiting for a connection on host welcome, port 21200 to continue with the installation
I have tried to execute xclock to check it, but its gives the below error
ERROR: canu2019t open display: welcome:0.0
I found that before setting the below display environmental variable, xclock worked good, but after setting the below display environmental variable, I am facing this error
export DISPLAY=hostname:0.0
I searched for this error, some people posted that we have to change the display environmental variable like export DISPLAY=:0, set DISPLAY=:0.0,
I tried it but still facing the same No GUI server connected error.
I hope it will be a problem with display environmental variable and I have no other clues, please help me, Thanks.
Thanks,
Senthil.

Hi,
We are trying in my personal laptop, so I have not set any ip addess. Is there any other way like our loop back adapter settings in windows, to configure ip address in Redhat linux 5 in individual machines.
Also I searched in forums few other people who has already faced the same error. They have set the display environment variable export DISPLAY=ipaddress:0.0 with ip address but they also has faced the same error and itu2019s not resolved.
Please help me if there will be any other reason for this error, Thanks.
Thanks,
Senthil.
