Hey, im new to anki , i have only one deck but big one, my images are not shown on my both devices ankidroid and desktop, i tried to sync , evertime there is message collection has been synced, when i checked media from the tools ( the media appears as missing files ), i have downloaded my deck from ankiweb and it is in apkg form please help..
To verify if its a problem on your side or on the deck itself, I can suggest this :
Try to find another popular anki deck, and do the exact same steps you’ve done.
If you have no problem with missing file, then I suspect that the most likely issue is that the Deck you’ve dowloaded really have missing file.
- Maybe the author had a problem uploading it, try to contact him.
- Give the Deck link / name to let us inspect it also
Else if you still have an issue, try to explain in details the steps you have done to download it.
It’s not rare for deck authors to upload something like that. If Tools > Check Media show you missing files, that just means the .apkg didn’t have them. Try this:
- Reimport the deck in question in case the deletions happened on your side.
- Check if the media files load when you’re connected to the internet. Some decks load their media from an external source and that wouldn’t work offline.
If the problem isn’t resolved, find another deck (look for well rated ones) and use that instead. Maybe you can also leave a review warning others of the issue.
Hey thanks for the reply i have the misssing files but when i view them they show in my desktop as colldction.media but i dont know what to do next , please guide me
Ya but the files are shown in my checked media but not in my cards , i have downloaded the deck from ( get shared deck > lightyear deck [ thats my deck name] > after that i downloaded it) also i have downloaded the deck twice to see any another issue but i mnot getting images due to missing files
If you are syncing a lot of new media, it can take multiple tries to sync everything from your computer to AnkiWeb and from AnkiWeb to your other device. Media files may take time to sync - Anki FAQs
Run Check Media on both devices to see how different they are. Then after each sync, Check media again to make sure you’re seeing progress.
Hey im doing this from few hours but not showing any progress

Did you read the link that I sent?

Is your media sync complete from your computer to AnkiWeb?
Ya i did and i found that deck has some problem i have found new deck . Thank you , but what do i choose between upload and download( i mainly download deck from my ankiweb and from my desktop ), i also have one query related to tags my deck has tag of (for example pulmonary , so how can i start doing cards from that section onwards so i do not have to do other system)both photos are uploaded
Depends on which collection you want to replace. If you don’t want to replace one with another you’ll have to manually merge the collections. See Syncing with AnkiWeb - Anki Manual.
You’ll have to use custom study/filtered deck for this one: Filtered Decks - Anki Manual.

I cant understand properly that if i choose upload in my desktop, my amkiweb will have the collection and my desktop changes will also be addee, so what i have to do in my ankidroid on my tablet only sync button right?
Read the link I sent. You’re replacing one collection with another instead of merging the changes.

It looks like you have that deck in desktop Anki. Is that the only deck you have there?
Do you have different decks, cards, notes, review history, etc. in AnkiDroid that you also want to keep?
- If you do not – On desktop choose upload to AnkiWeb. Then when you sync on AnkiDroid, you’ll receive that sync choosing download from AnkiWeb.
- If you do – You need to do a few extra steps to preserve both collections and get them in sync. Syncing with AnkiWeb - Anki Manual
[None of this will solve the images issue you were asking about first, or the tags issue you just started asking about. But let’s solve one problem at a time.]
