My Lightroom keeps saying it is syncing 117 photo's and insists I do not shut down the program but they never sync.

How do I clear this tally or force it to ignore or find the rogue files?
 
Hi

Look at Preferences - Lightroom Sync and see what the program thinks it's doing (and whether any of the files look odd) ass a first step.
 
Hi ktomlinson, sorry we missed your reply. How's that sync looking?
 
Click the link in the post and it'll show you
 
I've just spotted your previous thread about missing photos. That could certainly explain why some aren't syncing, if they're still missing. I don't suppose there's a Sync Errors collection in the Catalog panel?

The update didn't work

There ar a lot of errors now listed - is there a way of clearing those or overridng them to clear the sync list?
 
Ok, look at the error photos. Do they have rectangles with exclamation marks in the corners? If so, you need to reconnect the missing files.
 
Metadata errors - that are showing in Classic's Preferences > Sync > Activity section, you mean? Sometimes a minor nudge, like +1 sharpening will clear those. A screenshot or two might help, if that doesn't do the trick.
 
I am not sure why but since the latest update there is now only 21 photos stuck syncing so I will tackle those when I have time
 
That's progress!
