Dec 28, 2013 2:57 PM in response to ReLink201by Linc Davis,Moving the iPhoto library to the NAS won't work reliably:
iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives
As a workaround, you can put the library on a disk image and put that on the NAS.
If you want to try it with the iTunes library, there are a couple of tutorials here:

Dec 28, 2013 3:03 PM in response to Linc Davisby ReLink201,I apprecite the reply, but I already knew that. I actually have the same articles bookmarked already. lol.
My question is after I do all that how can I set it up so that when I leave the house I can continue to access my libraries over the internet? Perferably in such a way that itunes and iphoto dont even know I left my house.

Dec 28, 2013 3:24 PM in response to Linc Davisby ReLink201,Huh? I think maybe you misunderstood me. I do not have a Mac desktop of anykind, all I have is my Macbook pro which comes to work with me everyday, so I dont think back to my mac would be of much help. I want to offload both my iTunes and iPhoto libraries to my NAS at my home. I know how to access the libraries on my macbook from the NAS when Im at home. What I am trying to figure out is how to maintain access to them when I am not home. I am trying to store my libraries on the NAS at home, and access them in itunes or iphoto on my macbook pro when im at work, or at a friends.

Dec 28, 2013 3:35 PM in response to ReLink201by Linc Davis,If you're asking how to make the NAS directly accessible from the Internet, then you should refer to the manufacturer's documentation. That's not a question about an Apple product and it's beyond the scope of this site. You would need a wide-area Bonjour setup with appropriate DNS records, firewalling, and port forwarding at the gateway. My opinion is that you shouldn't do it, or else that you should hire a network consultant, because it would be a very complex project. Good luck.
