Lightroom Version Number
Classic 7.4
Operating System
  1. macOS 10.13 High Sierra
  2. iOS
Running Mac 10.13.5 with LR Classic 7.4 (but problem exists when I revert to previous version). CC connected. LRmobile running on iPad, iPhone. Lightroom CC also running on Mac.

LR Classic has constant message that it is "waiting for connection". I have rebooted, reverted to earlier versions, signed in and out of CC. All to no avail.

Ideas?
 
Hi rhhord, welcome to the forum!

So all the others connect ok, but not Lightroom Classic? My first thought would be a firewall, but if CC is also connecting on the same Mac, that seems less likely. How long's it been happening?
 
I noticed it after replacing my xfinity modem/router which was taken out by an electrical storm. I believe the troubles coincided with my download of 7.4 but I am thinking that is not causitive. This occurred a week ago yesterday. Along with replacing these, I switched from an Apple airport extreme which I had running along side my xfinity wifi. Since I have tried everything else I have been able to find online, I am concluding it has something to do with LR Classic looking for or waiting for this other network which the extreme was a part of. BTW, I am also running LR CC on my mac as well, this being an evaluation period for me to see if I might wish to abandon Classic. But at this point, such a move would mean I give up too much editing power.

Thanks for you interest.
 
I’m happy. Just spent time with Adobe Support Chat. Bottom line: LR CLASSIC is once again syncing. The fix was to turn off Wi-Fi; delete several system interface files; empty trash; reboot. Done.
 
That's great news, thanks for the update!
