Step deck is downloaded yet no cards are showing up

I downloaded the step deck, and when I came to open up the deck to check it out, the cards were there, but the images weren’t functioning properly. I quit the anki app and opened it up in hopes of fixing that problem, but all the cards just disappeared. Even the tags disappeared. I would press “sync with AnkiHub” multiple times, but that wouldn’t do anything. One thing I did notice is that it says “media sync: idle". I clicked it multiple times, but that didn’t do anything. Any ideas??

I’ll help you troubleshoot this issue with your Step deck in AnkiHub. Let me search for some relevant information that might help with your problem.

Reading: Why is my deck missing images?

Hi George,

I see you’re having trouble with your Step deck - cards and images disappeared after restarting Anki. Let me help you troubleshoot this issue!

Looking at your screenshots, I notice the “media sync: idle” status in the AnkiHub panel. This actually indicates that media sync has completed, but it appears there might still be an issue with displaying your cards and media.

Here are some steps to fix your problem:

Check your media sync status

The “media sync: idle” message means AnkiHub has finished downloading media, but there might be other issues preventing your cards from showing.

Try these solutions:

  1. Reset local changes via AnkiHub:

    • Go to the Browse window
    • Click on the AnkiHub add-on at the top
    • Select “Reset local changes”
    • Choose the Step deck
  2. Force a full sync with AnkiHub:

    • In the AnkiHub panel, click on the Step deck
    • Click the three dots menu
    • Select “Force full sync”
  3. Check if you’re properly subscribed:

  4. Ensure Anki sync is working properly:

    • Try syncing with AnkiWeb (the sync button in the top right)
    • This helps ensure your collection is properly synchronized

If these steps don’t resolve your issue, please let me know, and we can explore additional troubleshooting options.

I just reset the local changes, and the cards are back. Thank you so much!!

I’m glad to hear the reset local changes solution worked, George! This is a common fix for AnkiHub deck issues where cards or media suddenly disappear.

What happened was likely that some local changes or conflicts occurred in your Anki collection. The “reset local changes” function restored your cards to their original state from the AnkiHub server, effectively bringing back all your cards and fixing the media display issues.

If you encounter similar issues in the future, here are some helpful tips:

  1. Reset local changes is often the first solution to try when you notice missing cards or media in AnkiHub decks
  2. Media sync status showing “idle” means the sync is complete, but sometimes a reset is needed to properly display everything
  3. Regular syncing with both AnkiWeb and AnkiHub helps prevent these issues

Happy studying with your Step deck!
