The hard drive on the pismo has 68 gb free and the g5 has 850gb free.
Maybe that's not the kind of disk space that the iphoto is seeing?
I think you're going about this all wrong.
First, jumping from iPhoto 3 to iPhoto 6 seems like a problem. Also, I
don't think "Export" is the action you want because iPhoto keeps
photos as "originals" and also as any edited modifications you may
have done, and when you "Export" a photo it creates another new photo
file from the latest modified version. What you want is to transfer
your originals I believe?
Here's what I would do:
1)Boot the Pismo in Target Disk mode (hold "t" key at boot) and attach
it to the G5 via a Firewire cable. The Pismo HD should mount on the G5
Desktop.
Launch iPhoto 6 on the G5 and go to File>Import and navigate to the
iPhoto Library on the Pismo HD and select it to import. This should
import all the photos from the Pismo.
If this gives you any error message, try opening the Pismo's iPhoto 3
Library (may need to Ctl-click>Show Contents) and then find the
"Originals" folder and drag and drop this folder onto your iPhoto 6
icon, or your open iPhoto 6 application window on the G5. This should
"Import" all these "Originals" from the Pismo onto the G5's iPhoto 6
Library.
When done importing, eject the Pismo HD and search your iPhoto 6
library for any duplicates.
