Do I need to get rid of iPhoto for storing/accessing photos on wifi network?

My wife is a food blogger and takes 1000s of pictures a week. Our iPhoto library is close to 400gbs. I just converted her MacBook to an SSD to improve performance and the plan is to just store the most recent month's photos on the MacBook and put the rest on an NAS. We previously tried a USB hard drive to do this and it was much too frustrating for 2 reasons. One, we back up everything via crashplan so it was a pain to always make sure it was plugged into her MB as she would carry it around from the office, living room, kitchen, etc. We also have 3 young boys so portable hard drives plugged into a laptop that is always at arms reach is a recipe for disaster. (Already had one ruined because of that) So we need some sort of wireless option. We understand it may be slower, but we won't access those files very often so it's not a huge deal. Everything I've read about various NASs (Synology, My Cloud, etc.) all say they don't work too well with IPhoto/Apeture. (Currently use iPhoto) So any recommendations on better options? I want something fairly simple for her. What about transitioning to Lightroom or non-Apple to allow easier remote storage and access? Anyone have any success with wireless remote storage/access of iPhoto?
Thanks!

    Hi Pierre,
    There's no way to merge them yet, so all you can do now is make 1 of them the master ID for iCloud. You have to continue to use the other for previous iTunes, Mac App Store updates. Have you read:

    Yes, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto for $15.  That is the only solution.  You can read here if you wish: http://www.macworld.com/article/160380/2011/06/icloud_what_you_need_to_know.html

  • HT1420 need to get rid of old expired apple accounts before I can purchase new stuff

    i need to get rid of old expired apple accounts from previous email addresses.  how to do that?

    Why would you keep creating new accounts?
    Just change the e-mail address associated with the account.
    Having more than one account will generally cause problems.
    All purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.

  • Need to get rid of lines top and bottom

    The video material I'm cutting has a very annoying, eye-catching top and bottom edge. The topmost and lowest lines kind of wobble or jitter. I need to get rid of this.
    Do I 'zoom in' / expand the picture, or is there a crop tool I haven't come across?
    Any help much appreciated.

    Right-click(Control+click) the clip with the settings and chose copy.
    Select all of your clips that you want to apply the same settings to and right- click and chose paste attributes. A window will open and check the motion box and then click apply(Ok?)
    Now all of the selected clips will have the motion setting that you copied. This is also a good way for copying video and audio filters and any other settings in the motion tab.

    In response to below------Thank you Lynn-----Yes, there is a main panel--I will attach----and if you have any further suggestions please let me know--Thanks again
    How are you running this program? Is there a top level vi which calls the ones you posted? The Display image on screen.vi will display two images in succession, but according to the note on the block diagram the second image is blank. It seems as though this would intentionally create a flicker.
    The sequence structure is unnecessary. Dataflow will determine the order of execution. The only exception is the time delay in the third frame. Since it has no data dependency, a single frame sequence may be useful to assure that the delay occurs before the picture is updated. A simple state machine might be a more versatile architecture for what you may be trying to do.
    It is not necessary to write the FR.PanelBounds property immediately after reading it, nor is it necessary to read it a second time in the second frame. Just wire from the first read.

    Take a screen shot using the following keys - Apple/Shift/4.  The cross hair shot will enable you to do the the exact size of shot you want to do.
    Place the screen shot onto your desktop.  In the "Basic reply window" click on the camera icon and follow the onscreen instructions.  Click on "Use Advance Editor" then click the "Add Reply" button. 
    Again, post in the Mountain Lion forum area so that users using the same os as yourself will be able to help.  Your issue is "os" related.  You do not have a Macbook Pro technical issue.

    Hi cathyw11,
    probably you have 3 shortcuts on your desktop, if it is shortcuts they will have a small arrow on the firefox icon (see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot]). Right click on each shortcut you want to delete and select delete(don't be afraid, you delete only the shortcut, not the program, the program you can find it in windows start > all programs).
