Hello all, I regularly import pictures from SD card into iPad where I cull and edit - normally it works fine and I have no issues.

But yesterday I imported approx 40 images from camera SD card into Lightroom on iPad where I rated and culled images - all as normal.

Problem: on the iPad I edited half a dozen with crops, selective adjustments and colour grading.; after this, the iPad cloud icon showed green checkmark. The imported pictures showed up in Lightroom on cloud via browser and on iPhone a couple of hours or so later (seemed much slower than usual). And now (next day) looking in detail at the edited images, not all the edits made on iPad are showing on iPhone, iMac Lightroom, Lightroom on cloud via browser. I have double checked that the edits made yesterday are still on iPad - yes; and that all the sync indicators are showing green - yes they are.

Info about the iPad - iPad Air 2 running iOS 15.7.7, 8Gb available memory out of 32 Gb

Thank you all for your expertise.

Log into the web interface and see if all the changes made it to Adobe's servers. This will allow you to know if the problem is on the iPad or the elsewhere.

Thank you Tim; I've looked at Lightroom on the web and can see that not all edits are making it from iPad to Adobe servers. So, how to force upload from iPad?

Thank you

Chales,

I do not have any Apple devices. So, i am going based on what others have posted.
First, see if there are sync errors shown in the web interface. There would be a special album which appears when sync has not completed and the Adobe servers are waiting on something from a client application.
Second, force a restart of Lightroom, I forgot how others have stated to do this. Note: Not re-install, just a restart. Then verify that the sync of all images is complete.

After that, we need one of the Apple users here to help out.

Doing a force close and restart of the LrMobile app on the iPad would also be my first suggestion.
