How to Troubleshoot Photo Upload and Display Issues in Spectora
Photo upload and display issues in Spectora can arise due to various reasons, including browser compatibility, photo format, or system-wide outages. This guide provides comprehensive troubleshooting steps to resolve these issues effectively.
General Troubleshooting Steps
Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable and fast internet connection. Unstable connections can cause uploads to fail or get stuck.
Restart Your Device: Power off your device, wait for 30 seconds, and turn it back on. This can resolve temporary glitches.
Clear Browser Cache: - In Chrome: - Click the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner. - Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data. - Set the time range to "All time" and check "Cached images and files." - Click "Clear data," then close and reopen Chrome. - In Safari: - Open Safari and go to Safari > Preferences > Privacy. - Click "Manage Website Data" and remove Spectora-related data or click "Remove All."
Browser-Specific Issues
Safari Compatibility: - Safari may have issues with drag-and-drop uploads. Use Chrome or Edge for better reliability. - Clear Safari cache using the Develop menu or keyboard shortcut (Option + Command + E).
Chrome Issues: - If uploads are stuck or slow, clear the cache as described above.
Photo Format Compatibility
High Efficiency Format (HEIC): - Photos in HEIC format may not upload properly. Convert them to JPEG: - Open the photo on your iPhone. - Tap the share icon and select "Options." - Change the format to "Most Compatible." - On iPhone, set the camera format to "Most Compatible" in Settings > Camera > Formats.
RAW Format: - Photos in RAW format can only be uploaded one at a time. Use standard formats like JPEG for bulk uploads.
Sync and Upload Errors
Manual Sync: - In the mobile app, tap the cloud icon and select "Sync all changes." - On the web, open the inspection, click "Edit," and run "Full sync" followed by "Force payload rebuild."
Stuck Uploads: - If uploads stall at 90–95%, clear your browser’s cookies and cache, then restart your device.
Advanced Troubleshooting
Web Editor Issues: - If the "Add Photos and Videos" tab is missing, switch to the V10 editor by clicking the three dots in the upper-right corner and selecting "Edit in V10 editor."
Photo Not Detected: - If Spectora can’t find photos in a folder, ensure they are in JPEG format. Convert HEIC files to JPEG if necessary.
Re-upload Missing Photos: - Open the report in the web editor and manually re-upload missing images.
