Hi Ronni, thanks for the reply. The answer was almost what I wanted. I really wanted to leave the photo's on the MPB and not create another duplicate set on the iMac, but it seems as if I cant do that so I followed your instructions and they did work.
Although I had to do it in four stages as there were just under 1200 photo's and each time the import count neared 400 the beachball of death would appear and I had to do force quit and restart, find where it was up to last time and then after the second stall, I worked out it could only handle the 400, I had to find the last photo that it imported then select the next one and guess about 400 on and start the procedure again. One thing I did notice though was that it did not bring with the import the Added descriptions and the Places I had spent hours logging and it dropped about 100 photo's overall. I am still working through the Added Descriptions and Places on the originals, 50% through, can I do this by connecting it up with a firewire or USB? So as it wont drop out, when I have another go at syncing at a later date?
