Slow synch from lightroom mobile

Hi
I am trying out a trial month of lightroom mobile. On my new iPad Air all is going well but syncing back to computer takes far too long.......about 1/2 hour for 20 jpegs.  I have a new iMac so everything should be up to date and working pretty fast. Problem is I live in a rural area and our broadband is not very fast. Is there any way of getting photos from iPad to computer Lightroom 5 that is better than that?  Most of my shots are in RAW out in the field so I need a good system on return.

Thank you for your response.
I tried Deleting Data, then created a new collection on the iPhone. It appears just fine on the Web, Lightroom Desktop sees the new collection, the icon to the left says it is syncing, it knows how many images are to be synced, but it still is not bringing in the image itself.

  • Organize files from Lightroom Mobile on Hard Drive

    Hi! I am working on refining my workflow for getting images from my iPhone into Lightroom. One approach I'm considering is to use Lightroom Mobile's Camera Roll auto-import feature, since it works pretty consistently well, and would allow me to start rating and sorting images on either my iPhone or iPad, and do heavier editing when I get back to the desktop. My idea is I'd have an "Inbox" where images are coming in from the iPhone (either that I've shot with the iPhone itself, or transferred to the Camera Roll from an Eye-Fi card -- but that's neither here nor there), and I could sort them into other collections when I get back to the desktop.
    Quick background note: I'm coming from Aperture, where I had referenced files on an external hard drive, neatly organized in folders by year > month > day, and named in <yyyy-mm-dd> - at - <hh-mm-ss>.ext format, easily searchable via the filesystem, if need be (yeah, I read The DAM Book).
    My problem with this Lightroom Mobile workflow so far, is that once the images get into Lightroom on the desktop, the image files are buried somewhere in the Mobile Downloads.lrdata folder, eating up space on my internal hard drive. I'd love it if I could have them stashed away on my external drive, where all my other photos live.
    So - my question is, does anyone have suggestions for how to go about moving them to that external drive, respecting the organizational structure I've got in place (folder + file naming convention)? They don't necessarily have to stay synced with Lightroom Mobile once I've started organizing inside of Lightroom on the desktop, although that would be nice. Or is this a ridiculous and convoluted way of getting images into Lightroom on the desktop? How are other people handling this kind of scenario? I'm not averse to something script-y, like AppleScript or maybe a Hazel recipe, but I could use some suggestions for getting started in the right direction.
    As an aside, this all started for me when a) I bit the bullet and switched to Lightroom at the beginning of the year (the writing was on the wall, way before Apple announced they were killing it), and b) I started shooting with an Eye-Fi card in my Fuji X100S. Unless I'm shooting RAW (which I rarely do with that camera), it's so easy to sync images wirelessly over to my phone, and seems redundant to then import images off of the card into Lightroom.
    Anyway, thanks for any suggestions you might have.

    I have read a few post on this subject but I have not found the answers that I am looking for.
    I want to take all of the photos off of my computer and put them on an external hard drive.  If I am in lightroom and plug in my external hard drive, if i just move all the folders over to the external hard drive does take them off of my comptuer? 
    Also, what I want to do is make one folder for each calender year along with the edits made to the photos.  So, If I back up my catolog and move it over with the photos, that means that all of the edits I made on those photos will stay with those photos?
    With having all my photos off the computer, if I wanted to reopen a folder from my external hard drive through lightroom, will they will automatically open with all the edits still done to them?
    Point 1: yes Lightroom will move them from your computer to the external. However I wouldn't recommend doing this, I would copy the files from the computer to the external using your OS and when you have verified the copy is ok and you have "Updated the folder location" in Lightroom then you can delete the folders from your computer.
    Point 2: You can do this manually in Lightroom using the Sort options to achieve the older you want or craete a new catalog and import from your current one and at the import stage move the files to new folders with date order.
    Point 3: yes it will but you will not be able to "work" the files that are on the offline drive unless you have generated Smart Previews.

  • How do I remove a device from Lightroom Mobile?

    Hello Everyone,
    I lost a device that was signed into Lightroom Mobile. In Lightroom 5, it still shows up under “Folders”. How can I remove this device from Lightroom?
    Cheers,
    Jacques

    You need do nothing.  This limitation does not apply to itunes plus.
    Even so, all you would have to do is not sync it any longer.

  • How do I download images from Lightroom Mobile through the web interface?

    I am new to Lightroom Mobile. I would like to access the collections I've synced to the cloud and download individual images from my collections via the web interface. I see there is an option to copy the image via the iPad app but I don't see a copy image option via the web interface. I realize you can share entire collections of photos in the web interface but I would like to be able to simply download select photos via the Lightroom mobile web application. When I right click on the image there is no "save as..." option even - only an option to download the entire webpage.
    Any advice?
    Thanks.

    I was looking to do the same thing and spoke to an Adobe online chat staffer. It was a very confusing conversation. I think I eventually got him to understand what I wanted to do, and he seemed to think the answer was "not possible". Not very impressed with the technical support though.

  • Lightroom Desktop Syncs Collections but NOT the Images Inside Them From Lightroom Mobile

    I am on a Mac running 10.10.2
    - Lightroom 5 CC (current)
    - Lightroom Mobile on an iPad Air (all current)
    - Lightroom Mobile on a iPhone 6+ (all current)
    The iPad and iPhone and web all Sync correctly between each other. A Collection created on the Desktop syncs just fine to the web and LT Mobile.
    The Desktop updates the names of the Collections from the iPhone and iPad without an issue
    However, the Desktop does NOT sync the images in the Collections. Though if you hover over the Sync icon to the left of the Collection name, it does know how many images are supposed to be in the catalog.
    I have deleted and reinstalled both the Desktop and Mobile applications on all platforms.
    On the Desktop version, the Collections in "From LR Mobile" have the Sync icon to the left of the Collection name.
    I have signed out from the Desktop version multiple times.
    When I relaunch the Desktop version, it says "Signed On, Sync On"
    I have deleted the Sync.lrdata file multiple times.
    I have restarted the Desktop multiple times.
    All to no avail.
    I have my Diagnostic report created and ready to be uploaded to Dropbox for viewing.
    Please help!

    Thank you for your response.

  • Sharing from lightroom mobile

    Is there any way to share a whole collection from lightroom to camera roll?
    IVe vie clicked the share button in a collection, but it seems to limit my ability to save to the camera roll to 5 photos.
    any help would be great as I'd like to be able to upload albums straight from my ipad (without too much messing around) after doing minor tweaks in LR mobile

    You can share a collection with help of the Lightroom Web view. Have you tried to share via Adobe Lightroom

  • Is there a way to tell Lightroom where to put Mobile Uploads from Lightroom Mobile app?

    Thanks!

    I know what you mean (image below). They go in the Lightroom folder, under pictures, in a randomly named folder. You can always drag them from this folder into your catalog, but I don't know of any way to reset the location or name of the folder. It is a different random name for each mobile device you connect (in the example shown, I have two iPhones and an iPad).

  • Moving from synced Lightroom mobile collection to external hard drive collection

    How do I move "From Lightroom Mobile" Catalogues to external NAS drive?
    Mobile workflow is: Take photos with iPhone an adding them to collections on Lighroom mobile. Those photos get sync'd to Lightroom on the desktop, creating a catalog on the desktop. However, I organize and keep my photos on a NAS. When I try to go through the "Import" workflow I have, I cannot select the Lightroom mobile catalog(s) that are set up. How do I get that locally stored set of photos off of my desktop and onto the NAS for storage?
    Thanks in advance.

    I think I actually have the catalog of NAS photo on the local computer, but my images are stored on the NAS.
    Does Lightroom Mobile sync mobile images to the desktop? Or does it keep the original files in the cloud and just reference them from the local catalog? If it downloads the original files, how can I get those on the NAS? I have limited space on my macbook, and am trying to keep all of my images organized in a single location.
    In other words, my workflow from my DSLR is: 1)insert SD card 2) import using Lightroom to NAS using import settings 3) view images in Folder pane
    What should my workflow be for my iPhone to store them on that same filesystem as above?
    1) sync files to adobe cloud 2) view FROM LR MOBILE Collection in Lightroom 3) ??? (can't figure out how to import to the NAS from the mobile collection)
    - or -
    2) forget about LR mobile, just do straight import in Lightroom from iPhone to get photos onto NAS?

  • Saving Lightroom Mobile synced photos to existing library system?

    This should be really straightforward but I can't figure it out.
    When I import photos from my DSLR, Lightroom saves them into a library structure (Pictures > 2104 > 08 > 07). This works for me, as it keeps everything together in the one place, easy to navigate and back up. Is there a way I can automatically save photos synced from Lightroom Mobile into the same library structure as my DSLR photos? At the moment it seems to keep the photos inside a Lightroom data file (Pictures > Lightroom > Mobile Downloads.lrdata).
    Any suggestions?

    Automatically? No.

  • How to disable Lightroom Mobile?

    I don't want to use Lightroom Mobile. Every time when i start Lightroom the "getting started windows" of Lightroom Mobile pops up. Any idea how to permanently disable Lightroom Mobile and/or getting rid of the annoying gettting started window?

    Janick,
    As a Creative Cloud member (free user) you get free 30 day trial to Lightroom mobile.
    If you dont want to use you can leave the Lightroom trial as it is.
    If you want to delete the files if they are synced by chance follow the steps as below:
    To remove all your photos from Lightroom mobile, select Delete All Data from the Lightroom mobile preference panel. This option also deletes the files that control Lightroom mobile, all metadata and collection data and removes all images from the cloud. Photos on your desktop computer aren't deleted and remain in your desktop catalog.

  • 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.

    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

  • 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!
