Hi Ronni, Thanks for clearing that up for me. However whatever has happened has created a worse situation, I will post on a new title.
Take care. Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Matt, Actions Allowed for Shared Photos: Just because you can see shared albums in your source pane doesn?t mean you can do everything with their contents that you can do with your own photos. You can copy shared photos and albums to your library or albums, play a basic slideshow with shared photos, and send shared photos to others via email. You CANNOT edit shared photos in any way, assign keywords and ratings, get much photo info, make a new album, use a shared album to create a book, print photos, put shared photos on your Desktop or use them as your screen saver, make an iDVD slideshow, burn them to disc, send them to iWeb, or export them in any way. Basically, you can only view shared photos; for any action that requires making changes, you must first copy the photos to your Mac. > 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. That's correct, you are copying from a 'shared Library' not your library... as I mentioned in my previous reply "It will import as an untitled event". Perhaps you could connect to your Network via Ethernet cable, and change in System Preferences > Network to Ethernet. Should be faster than Wi-Fi.
