LR Mobile sync caused iPad mini to crash continuously and reboot with blue screen?

Hi,
I've been using LR Mobile on my iPad Mini (Retina) for quite sometime now without any issues. It worked flawlessly, until yesterday.
I'm not sure whether this problem was caused by the LR Mobile app or not but this was my experience.
Begin syncing a LR Catalog file (760 photos, needed 1.6 GB of space on my iPad). Sync and download was in progress. (I enabled the offline edit option).
After like 10 minutes, I checked my iPad to see the sync status and it crashed and restarted by itself.
After it booted, I opened LR Mobile and bang.... it crashed again.
This happened several times and I also begin to get the blue screen of death on the iPad.
Finally, it booted properly and I opened LRM and begin to re-sync. Things went smoothly.
I had to cancel the sync (around 650 photos were synced) as I had to rush to work and the sync process was taking too long (it took me like 3 hours to sync the 650 photos as the iPad would go into sleep and the sync process would stop. Plus the iPad was crashing and rebooting in between the sync process and caused a loss of time).
Anyhow, on the way to work I opened LRM and begin working on the images. Everything seemed fine.
Just an hour ago, when I unlocked my iPad and wanted to work on the images, it crashed again. This time it went in a reboot cycle and the screen went bonkers - got the blue screen, and weird visual distortions of the apple logo, and other unusual visual effects begin to occur. I thought the iPad was gone for, as it went off and wouldn't even restart. (I even tried doing a hard reset - Home + Sleep/Wake buttons).
Finally when it booted and restarted on its own, I immediately deleted the LR Mobile app and restarted the iPad.
It's been like 2 hours now and the iPad's working fine.
Did anyone experience similar issues like this? Or is it just me
I feel very annoyed because after waiting for hours for my catalog to sync, I had to delete the app and lost all my synced photos
Can the Adobe LRM team please clarify if this could have been cause by the LRM app?
I've been using LRM for a long time and never encountered such a problem. Could it be because the app required around 1.6 GB of space on the iPad and they sync/download process was taking like forever to get done. ( I had plenty of free space on my iPad. Had like 5.6 GB free on it).
Any help and advise would be truly appreciated

Hi,
Lightroom mobile should not be causing any iPad crashers, the issue with the crashing LrM is a known issue.
What would help would be if you can collect logs from your tablet and send them privately to me.
Only then we can know for sure if it's really caused by LrMobile.
We would need all your logs that you can find under these folders that are close to the date and time when your device restarted.
OSX: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/DeviceName/
Windows: C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\DeviceName\
Btw you need to sync with iTunes to see them.
thanks,
Ignacio

  • IPad ios8 random reboot with blue screen

    Hi everyone,
    I Know this question has been posted already but I'm so frustrated.
    after upgrading to iOS 8 my iPad air started to reboot randomly with blue screen at least 5 to 6 times a day.
    when will apple provide an update fixing this issue? Since it seems more common.
    model: iPad air wifi only
    ios: 8.0.2
    i have tried turning off iCloud sync as many suggested but it didn't help.
    reboots are frequent when I'm using safari.
    most of the time the diagnostic log shows WDT timeout

    Try Barry's suggestion first.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • IPad 2 crashes unexpectedly and rebooted with purchased apps missing

    I was using my iPad 2 reading eBooks for a couple of hours. Suddenly the screen blacked out and it rebooted by itself. When it reaches the springboard, i went back to my iBook to continue my reading. After 20 minutes or so, the iBook app crashed and the next thing I realized was all my purchased apps are missing! Has anyone encounter this problem? I am now restoring my apps from my iTunes. Strangely, music in my iPod is still inside together with the videos. The only thing that went missing are all my apps purchased from the App Store. I hope this is not a hardware issue. Everyday, I experience a couple of crashes but nothing beats today.

    It sounds like you should transfer everything that you have on the iPad to your computer. Then restore to factory settings and configure as a new iPad. I would not restore it from a previous backup as the backup may contain whatever is the issue and you would just restore it to your iPad again.

  • My ipad mini wont turn on and rebooting don't work

    As I expected my Ipad to go off it did,but now it wont turn on even though it has the apple sign on it.

    And you tried resetting your iPad like this?
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    IF you did that and it didn't work, look here and see number 5.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

  • What is causing my iPad mini to crash.

    My iPad mini is crashing randomly.  Opening my google drive to read a document. Will open but then without warning will crash.  The same thing happens in FB. When I go to read a post or open a video link it shuts down and returns to the opening screen on the iPad .  I have tried shutting down the iPad and re starting it. Nothing changes.  Any suggestions?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    my ipad mini is crashing what can in do to fix it ?

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • How can I get videos I've taken with iPhone 5 to sync to iPad mini?

    I have several videos I've taken with my iPhone 5 and are currently on iTunes on my MBP. When I sync my iPad mini, it tells me the videos can't be sync'd because the format isn't supported on the mini. How in **** do I get this to work?

    The same way you would put them on any other iOS device.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Launch iTunes.
    Select the content desired to sync to the device.

    Photos are sorted by date modified when you sync from iTunes. If you have them arranged out of date sequence, they will not sync that way onto the iPad. You can read more here.

  • I need to sync an ipad mini with a regular ipad. If I were to open them plug them both into the same computers itunes, would they have identical information?

    I need to sync an ipad mini with a regular ipad. If I were to open them plug them both into the same computers itunes, would they have identical information?

    You will need to choose one as the "master", back that unit up to iTunes, then restore the other unit from that backup and then sync all the same content and apps. That's the only way they'd have identical data. If you need to keep then synched on an ongoing basis, you'll probably need to use some sort of cloud-based service such as iCloud or Dropbox to hold the data, which of course will require that your apps support that service for storage of documents.
    Regards.

  • Why I can't sync my iPad mini?

    I bought an iPad mini 2 months ago and I activated on the ipad itself, but now when I want to conect it to my iMac, it appears as the ipad was new, I don't want to erase it because I have a lot of data on it and iCloud isn't enough.

    You can follow the steps outlined in this guide: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 to establish syncing with your iTunes library without losing data.  (This was written for the iPhone, but applies equally to an iPad Mini.)  If you are using iTunes 11, first go to View>Show Sidebar to follow this guide.  Also, Transfer Purchases (step 5) is now in File>Devices.  If you aren't syncing your contacts or calendars with your computer using iTunes, you can skip step 2; just be sure not to enable syncing these on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings prior to syncing your iPad.

  • HT1386 Having trouble syncing my ipad mini with iTunes

    When I sync my ipad mini with my iTunes it appears the process is happening, the line indicating music is present on the ipad appears. But when the syncing is done the line disappears and no music has been loaded to the ipad.

    Are you signed into the correct iD on the iPad in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID?
    Do you have Sync only  checked songs and videos selected in the Summary Tab of iTunes? If you do, are you selecting the music to sync? If you don't have that checked, have you selected the music to sync? Are you trying to sync the entire library?

    Yes ... with regard to syncing. Actually, you need to be running OS X 10.6.8. This is copied from the iPad Mini tech specs website.
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
