I upgrade my Classic to 11.0 last week with out any problems, and then went away for the weekend. During the weekend i took around 1000 images and imported them into LR Mobile on my iPad. I’d updated the iPad’s LR to the new version too.

Back home I checked that all images had been uploaded to the cloud and then down to LR-C. It was then I noticed that there was no metadata showing on any of the photos on the right hand metadata panel. More worryingly all previous metadata for all previous photos has also vanished.

I know the metadata is there somewhere as when I go into the develop module the individual images have the camera metadata in the info overlay.

Where’s it all gone? How do I get it back.

Confused of Florida.
 
New feature in LrC11, in the Metadata panel, is an option to display only the editable metadata items (which are intentionally left blank) in order to allow easier metadata entry. Called "Edit Mode" it is switched on by means of a new icon to the left of the metadata display selector on the Metadata panel header. This screenshot shows the icon when Edit Mode is enabled, but clicking on that icon changes to the more familiar view with all the metadata revealed (and the icon changes to an eyeball):

Thank you so much Jim. I had clicked on that, but I think before everything had downloaded. Hence …..panic!

Thank you so much again.
