Are you deleting it from Lightroom Classic completely, then re-importing the photo, then adding it to a synced collection? If so, try importing it into the Lr app directly to put full res in cloud and then have it download to LrC. Does that behave any differently?

I have one photo that Lightroom Classic says it hasn’t been able to synch. But…the photo does show up in Lightroom. Said another way…the photo is visible in both Lightroom Classic and synchd to Lightroom…but the little blue circle in Lightroom Classic continues to rotate…it says it is still trying to such one file….I look up what the file is…and that’s how I know it is visible in both.

Also…I have deleted the file in Lightroom Classic…it disappears in Lightroom….and then I reimport a different copy of that photo…click on synch…but still get the same problem.

I have all the latest version of everything…Lightroom…Lightroom Classic…and the Mac Operating System.

Sigh…

Thoughts?

Lightroom Classic attempts a sync (4) times per session. If a file (for any reason) fails to sync (4) times, sync attempts are suspended for that file. I know some customers who leave Lightroom Classic sitting open for hours, days, and longer, hoping for a magical clearing of their sync. If this is you, restart your Lightroom Classic application and give that errant file another chance to sync.

A good basic rule is to note the number of pending syncs and if that number doesn’t move up or down in an hour, you should probably restart the app. If that doesn’t clear it, then basic sync troubleshooting is in order.
