Lightroom Mobile Not Syncing Star Ratings

I have a couple of collections set up to sync with Lightroom mobile.  My problem is that the star ratings do not sync when I initially set things up.  Changes I make to the star ratings after the photos are synced will work. 
Any other changes I make either on mobile or desktop will work as they should
Has anyone else experienced this issue or have a possible fix?.
Mac OSX 10.9.4, Lightroom 5.5, Lightroom Mobile 1.1.0

Hi lukejc1,
did you sync the collections you are having problems with Lightroom v. 5.4 and modified the ratings on LRmobile v.1.1?
One "fix" would be to stop syncing this collection in LRdesktop, wait until collection disappears on LRmobile and then start syncing this collection again.
Thanks,
joerg

  • Lightroom mobile not syncing

    I have LR 5.5 and I have enabled collections to sync.  Previously the collections would show up in LR mobile but no images in the collections.  A couple of collections would say they have 100 photos but only show 3 or so... blacked out the rest.  When I clicked on the cloud it would say all is up to date.
    LR 5.5 would say syncing 900 photos but again I would not see them in LR mobile.
    So I reviewed some posts on this forum and tried deleting data from LR mobile to start over.... now no collections show up.  And LR 5.5 does not show how many photos are being synced.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Could you please update to the most recent Lr desktop verions 5.7. We fixed lots of sync related issues which might solve what your are seeing.

  • Using Lightroom Mobile to sync photos to desktop – proper workflow?

    Just wondering what people suggest as a workflow for importing photos taken on a cameraphone into a Lightroom library.
    I want the photos to be saved into the same folders on my hard drive that the rest of my photos go into (Pictures > 2014 > 8 > 3 etc). Using Lightroom Mobile and syncing with the desktop app works well, but the files aren't saved inside my library, are they ...
    Is there a way i can do this without physically importing them?

    Hi,
    it would be interesting to know exactly what you are doing here.
    Does it mean that you upload the images from your Lr Desktop?
    It might take a while before the sync is done.
    Which version of Lr are you using?
    If you compare Lr Mobile with lightroom.adobe.com - is there any difference?
    Does it help to update Lr Mobile to 1.2.1?
    Thanks,
    Ignacio

  • Lightroom mobile not available in Sweden

    Hi
    I signed up today for a Creative Cloud photography membership and paid in advance for a year. I was really looking forward working with Lightroom mobile on my iPad but it seems it is not available in Swedish App Store.
    I am so disappointed, there was nothing in the agreement saying Lightroom mobile not being available in Sweden.
    Adobe's Swedish Lightroom site even has a download link for Lightroom Mobile.
    Does anyone know what to do?

    I managed to download by clicking this link in Safari on iPad:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/ho...om-mobile.html
    Click on any of the download links for iPad or iPhone on the page.
    You will be connected to App Store and the app can then be downloaded.
    This seems to be the only possibility for the moment, it is not searchable in the Swedish App Store.

  • LR Mobile does not sync star rating on initial sync

    Dear All!
    This is my usual workflow.
    1) I import photos on my desktop (Macintosh)
    2) I make a pre-selection of photos and start them with 2 stars.
    3) I filter all 2-star photos and add them to a collection
    4) I sync the new collection to my ipad (via the cloud).
    Issue:
    When the photos "arrive" on the ipad they all have a rating of 0-stars.
    to fix this I have to change the rating in Lightroom on my desktop (after they have initially synced) to the iPad.
    This will sync all photos again and correct the star-ratings.
    Is this a known issue and is Adobe working on this already?
    Thanks
    Albert

    Please have a look at this thread (also for workarounds)...Re: Why are my ratings stars not syncing with Lightroom mobile?
    Here is the note from one of our devs.
    Unfortunately, my previous post was a bit optimistic.  Adding images in batches less than 100 will only work in certain narrow situations.  In many of the common scenarios that you're encountering based on your catalogs it will not. 
    I have fixed this issue in our code, but will continue to look for possible workarounds that will work on 5.5.

  • Lightroom desktop not syncing with mobile

    Hi,
    I'm having a similar problem to others here, where Lightroom desktop is not syncing with mobile. My iPhone and iPad are syncing with each other OK - photos I take on the phone are showing up on the iPad, and a collection I created on the iPad has synced to the phone. If I go to my desktop PC and go Help > View Your Synced Collections on the Web I can see both collections. But neither collection is downloading to my PC, and the collections I've marked for sync on my PC are not uploading to my devices or the web.
    I had previously (a couple of months ago) synced a collection from the desktop to the iPad but changes to it had stopped syncing. I've tried deleting all the data through the desktop preferences (which did remove the existing collections), and I've tried deleting the sync.lrdata folder.
    Cheers
    Lee

    Thanks for the tip, but it didn't work.
    I moved a few images in the collections that were synced = nothing has changed.
    I've deleted the new collection that I was still trying to sync (with still the "Syincing 30 photos over the identity plate... it seems to be stuck to 30!). Remember, that new collection was not showing in Lr Mobile, even though 89 photos were supposed to be sync...
    I've deleted - again - the sync.lrdata file = didn't work.
    I "Clear Cache" in the Lr Mobile = didn't work
    I deleted the Lr Mobile app on my iPad = didn't work either. I had guessed so since it was still the same in Adobe Lightroom.
    I've stopped in Lr Desktop all the sync in collections that were synced. So, in theory, there is no more images being synced. I've even deleted (again!) the sync.lrdata file. Deleted (again) the Lr Mobile app. And guess what?... Nah... it didn't work!
    I do see in the Lr Desktop, in the left panel in the Library Module : "All synced Photographs : 0". But I still see 3 collections with all the photos (even the deleted ones from previous days) in the Lr Mobile.
    It seems that the photos are "stuck" that way in Abode cloud and cannot be changed one way or the other. Cannot delete images nor collection. Cannot add new collections. Cannot move images.
    Now, I am short of ideas what to do next. Delete my Adobe account? :-)))

  • Lightroom Mobile Not Working after Installation - "No Collections available. Enable sync in Lightroom Desktop..."

    Hi there,
    I could use some help.  I just installed LR Mobile on my iPad Air 2 and have an error stating, "No Collections available. Enable sync in Lightroom Desktop to get started."
    I've tried deleting the sync data on my desktop but it didn't help.  I could really use some help, as I need to get this going.
    Thanks in advance!

    Have you tried to create a collection within Lr Desktop and enable this one for sync via context menu or with help of the little checkbox beside the collection folder

  • Lightroom Mobile - Color and Stars rating

    In order to be able to use LR mobile as an pre-selection tool we urgently need stars & color rating options for Lightroom Mobile. Can't believe it was left out while designing v1.0. This is just another data field. Apart from the opportunities to retouch the photos which are pretty useless atm, I can wait for them to evolve, the rating stuff is essential to really fall into workflow. So dear LR mobile team, efforts in adding stars and color ratings are really much appreciated. Well and smart collection would be nice as well!
    To add some praise. I love the idea and I appreciate that the sync is running pretty good and also the app itself is running smoothly even though the adjustment interface is far apart from being an eye candy. But I would say it's aligned to be an working tool instead of being a feast for the eyes.
    So I'm looking forward and hoping more rating features appearing on the horizon soon.
    Cheers,
    LX

    Thanks Tom for your kind reply!! I'm also Product Manager in Product Development for a big company and being in charge of realiziing convergent use cases across the entire device spectrum and therefore totally agree with your approach to get into things. My complaint wasn't meant to be ungrateful it was just the sight of an user which has set up use-cases and workflows to efficiently get the job (even it's a hobby) done. So hope you got it right. I've experienced Lightroom and Photoshop over the past few years a really great tools, but from my point of view, Adobe sometimes is focused to much on being amazing algorithm developers and less customer workflow supporters. I'm really spending a lot of time with my photography partner (also a reallife Product Manager) discussing what could have been from a simple workflows point of view. I'm pretty sure there is quite a lot of wishes our there. From obviousness to edge cases, but we always came to certain points where presumed little efforts would make a huge difference.
    To come to an end. I'm looking forward to see star and color rating (and probably support for smart galleries) hopefully very soon. Thank you guys for the move to bring Lightroom to the tablet!
    If you and the team are interested on more precise feedback on LR-Mob and probably Lightroom workflows I would be delighted to provide you with.
    So if you are interested, just pick me up, I've dropped you a linkedin request.
    All the best from overseas,

  • Lightroom Mobile not synching when in Lock Screen

    LR mobile syncs with my LR collections, no problem. BUT: For the pictures to sync, I need to unlock my iPad and keep it unlocked and screen turned on, otherwise the sync will stop. Can't it just run in the background? When synching a large collection I want to plug my iPad to the power cord and then leave it synching, be it during daytime in the office or at home during night. I will definitely not keep it unlocked in my office.

    Agree. This seems to be something needed to be fixed in the next version of Lightroom Mobile: allow Lightroom to be "always on" in the background to complete auto-import/import from camera roll/cloud upload tasks to all be completed in the background - not just when we have the app open and the device unlocked. Perhaps Lightroom needs to include itself in the list of "Background App Refresh" (iOS 8). Perhaps also include a switch in Lightroom's settings whether or not to allow uploads both over cellular and WiFi networks, or WiFi only.
    This would make the app much more reliable to make sure that all images are readily available in the desktop version and in our Creative Cloud account.

  • Lightroom isn't importing Star Ratings any more.

    We run Lightroom 5.7 on five PCs in our office. Recently one of the instances of the program has stopped importing star ratings entirely. I uninstalled Lightroom on that machine and reinstalled it, and was confused to see that all of our imports and settings from before the uninstall were still there. I expected that a reinstall would wipe the library and settings, but this didn't happen. This reinstall didn't do anything to LR's missing star ratings. Our import dialog is set to import embedded and sidecar metadata, so that's not the issue.
    To summarize our workflow: we shoot RAW, star rate in a program called FastPictureViewer, import to LR, perform edits, and export jpegs. This workflow is the same on all machines we use, and settings are consistent across the machines. We've tested an import using a folder of images that is star-rated on a different machine, and the ratings come in with no issue.
    What could be causing Lightroom to fail to import XMP star-rating data for this one machine?

    Why would Lightroom be writing metadata changes, when it's supposed to be importing the metadata as-is, and no in-program changes have been made to the images yet?
    Most likely there is some metadata field that actually gets set or changed during import for a legitimate reason.  You could find out which fields by saving away a copy of the .xmp sidecar before you do the import, then do the import, wait, and then compare the modified .xmp sidecar with the original.  (Or upload the two .xmp sidecars to Dropbox and post their links here, and I'll do the compare.)

  • LR mobile not syncing

    I had to reset my iMac to previous date. Now when i go into LR and look ar collections that are synced with my mobile device some on the collections on the desktoop are empty. They are on the iPad but are not on the desktop. How do I get then to sync back to the desktop from the iPad

    Have you tried to disable the collections from sync and re-fill those on Lr desktop and start the sync again.
    If that won't work I would recommend to trigger "Delete Data" via Lightroom Preferences -> Lightroom Mobile. With that you will start from zero.
    Hope that helps.

  • Lightroom Mobile stopped syncing my photos after the first collection.

    Has anyone else had similar issues? My computer has the files described as complete, but the app is simply not syncing.

    WWWHHHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHH.... Can you tell I am frustrated???? I have 10 collections synced without a glitch, but all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, the last two do not want to sync. AT ALL. It says on desktop they are syncing, I see the syncing animation on ipad, the two collections have showed up on ipad, but that is where it stops. Those two test collections have  a total of 9 photographs in them, LRdesktop says that it is syncing 9 photographs, but nothing happens. The animation keeps going, and by now those two collections should have long been on ipad...
    So for some reason to me unknown, LR mobile randomly stops working and syncing, and the only option is delete all data so far... Since I have 10 collections that have a total of 2882 photographs in them, I am not very happy to have to delete all data and have to start it all up from scratch again, yet this seems to be the only thing doable to get out of a gridlock...
    Major frustration is that I can only reach a call center in India where I presume they are working from a script, and if the problem does not fit the script they can NOT help you. I have now spoken to four people overthere and they all promise to call me back, but of course nobody does call me back.
    I have been waiting for a couple of days now, and the suggestion I got in the last call half an hour ago was to wait longer, they are researching it.
    Why can I not talk to a guy in England and what if their research takes them 50 days? Who is to say...
    It is not acceptable to have to delete all data time after time till mobile decides it has enough, and wants an delete all data again. This is all very confusing for my workflow of course, because in the end I forget which ones I did and which ones not.
    I am ready to pull out all my hair... strand by strand. The most frustrating thing is that you can not reach a real live person in England or USA who could actually troubleshoot live... Althoug I can imagine now that the only solution will be delete all data again...
    It means that you are never sure whether mobile is going to work or to act up. It seems that if it starts to act up, the whole thing is messed up... It means that for the last four days I had moments of utter happiness followed by utter dispair, the latter on now again, because I seem to spend time that I should be working on photographs on browsing the forums to see if anybody else had that problem and how they solved it.
    Is Delete all data really the only way out of gridlock??? Where is Julianne Kost when you need her...

  • New iPod will not sync song ratings with iTunes

    A few months ago I bought an iPhone (my first Apple MP3 player) and loaded it up with some music and everything worked fine between it and iTunes. I would rate some songs on the iPhone and synced it up with iTunes and it transferred those song ratings over with no problems.
    I later got rid of the iPhone and bought an iPod 4GB Nano and loaded it up with music but when I rated some songs and synced it up with iTunes it would not transfer the ratings over. It would transfer over the ratings fine from iTunes to the iPod but not the other way around. I removed and reinstalled iTunes and deleted the iTunes folder within the My Music folder on my computer and reloaded iTunes and imported all my music again. Restored and reset my iPod and tried again, it still will not transfer over the song ratings from iPod to iTunes.
    So I figured I got a screwed up iPod (it was a refurb) and decided to go ahead and upgrade. Bought a brand new iPod 8GB Nano and the same thing is happening again. Although it's not absolutely critical to be able to rate songs it helps in getting my music library sorted in deciding what to keep or not.
    Any idea what to do short of reinstalling Vista or moving my music library over to another computer to sync with?

    Hi, I just sorted out this problem for my ipod touch. Jose9550 and Chris in CA did not explain very well how it is to be sorted - their posts helped me but iI sort of discovered it by accident. My main problem was that the ipod did not update itunes with my track ratings made direct with the touch screen whilst listening to tracks.
    Here is how I found out how to sort it:
    Step 1: Click on the option in the summary screen to manually manage the music on you Ipod. Back up any tracks/playlists that you don't want to lose.
    Step 2: Create a few playlists with music that you want on Ipod
    Step 3: Click on your Ipod name in Itunes side bar and then select the Music tab on the main panel on the right. Now click on the check box "Sync Music". This will bring up a prompt that all your music /playlists currently on the Ipod may be erased. Accept this message and then click on check box "Selected playlists". Now pick the playlists/playfolders you want synced. Click apply.
    Step 4: Go into the menu bar in itunes and select Edit>Preferences>Devices> and uncheck box beside "Disable Automatic syncing for IPhones and IPods"
    Now any changes made to the playlists/tracks etc on the desktop or IPod will be transferred in both directions.
