Hello.
I have iPhoto 4 on my G4 Desktop computer with all my pics.
I just went on holiday with my Titanium laptop, and took a bunch of photos and put them into my iPhoto 4 on my laptop.
I now want to put all the pictures on my laptop iPhoto into my desktop iPhoto.
How do I do this?
I've tried importing, copying, etc, but have had no luck.
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

If you want them all in one master iPhoto library on your desktop machine, burn the PB photos to photo CDs or DVD, insert into your desktop machine, and you'll be able to open the CD in iPhoto & then drag the photos into that iPhoto Library. Seems clumsy but it's really the best way to merge iPhoto files and retain all your photo info.
Or, put the PB into Firewire Mode connected to your desktop Host machine, & copy the iPhoto Library file from your PB to the desktop computer. If you want both iPhoto Library files in the same folder, you'll need to rename at least one of them. Then to open the renamed iPhoto Library, download a shareware program called iPhoto Library Manager: it takes care of which file is "primary" when you want to open it & work with your photos. I started using this utility with iPhoto2, which would easily bog down with too big iPhoto files. I'm running iPhoto4 now, but still like separate Libraries because it seems more manageable to me.
