I have a sneaking suspicion my problem is that all my music is stored on a NAS, but I thought I would see if anyone else has tried syncing data with a NAS. I don't think this is specific to a Mac. It seems as if the songs will not sync, the folder structure however is pulled down onto the phone. Anyone else try syncing off external storage?
 
Have you resolved this issue? I have just moved my iTunes and iPhoto library onto a NAS drive and the Windows Phone app is having none of it. Initially I moved just the iTunes media and the WP app did what you said - it saw the songs but wouldn't sync any of them. When I moved the iPhoto library, the WP app wouldn't play ball at all and crashed within seconds of pointing it to the new location. I now can't use it. I have deleted the container folder as suggested elsewhere but that doesn't help at all.

Interestingly, my iPad works flawlessly with this setup :-(.

If I boot up Windows 8 my Windows Phone works correctly on this platform - music and videos are pulled across even though they are on an external drive.
