Capacities "View Is Not Ready Yet" Message

Workaround available Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, Web Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

'View is not ready yet' means your content is still downloading to this device; nothing has been deleted. Wait for the download to finish. If the view stays empty afterwards, check Settings > Offline & Sync and reboot only if the sync boxes are green.
