Q: repair permissions on a NAS
I have uploaded an iPhoto library on a NAS drive located in my home network so that all macs and iPads can access the same iPhoto library. When I try to access the remote iPhoto library by pressing the option button and launching iPhoto it takes about 20min and then reports that permissions must be repaired. I tried to use the disk utility but the NAS drive is not available to be scanned. Anyone has an idea? How can I repair permissions on a remotely located drive?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

It is not possible to have your iPhoto library on a NAS - it must be on a local drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled), connected with a fast wired connection like FireWire, USB or ThunderBolt that is n ot used as your TimeMachine backup volume and is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And of course iPhoto is not a multi user program so even without the format issues this would not work
and I will request that your thread be moved to the correct iPhoto forum (you posted in the newer Photos for Mac forum - Photos for Mac has the same storage requirements
