iPhoto crashes when NAS is connected

I have a quite new MacBook Pro with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2.


I experienced some problems with iPhoto since I work with a NAS (Synology 112j with one HDD/Western Digital).


Every time the NAS is connected to the network and the WiFi is on, iPhoto crashes when trying to start a slide show or build a new slide show. When the NAS is shutdown or I cut the WiFi, iPhoto works without any problems.


The iPhoto library is NOT exported to the NAS, it's still on my MacBook-HDD. The library is managed!


I tried to build up new libraries several times, but the problems occurs again and again.


I had a discussion in the iPhoto section of the community, but we couldn't get the problem fixed.


Now I try it here in the OS forum.


Maybe somebody experienced the same problem and got it fixed.


I would appreciate any help.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

The only theory that makes sense to me is that the library contains a reference to something on the NAS that is causing iPhoto to crash. I suggest you follow the instructions on the page linked below:


iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library


If that doesn't help, you may need to do a more thorough rebuild using this third-party software:


Fat Cat Software – iPhoto Library Manager
