[QUOTE="Collin Bl, post: 993512, member: 95994"] Welcome to the Forum. A better way to get info across would have been the Migration Assistant. Even now rather than trying to find the issue you may find it best to do these steps. Get the iMac up to current with all you emails etc, Reinstall Snow leopard onto the MBP using install discs that came with it, download and Install the Combo Updater [url="http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959"]here[/url] Run Software update from Apple Menu until no further updates show up, Connect the iMac to MBP by Firewire lead, 800 if u have one but 400 will do Ok Then start iMac in Target Mode by powering on and holding T key - u will see a firewire symbol on screen, Then open Migration Assistant on MBP ~Applications > Utilities Then select to import all except Applications to MBP, Power off iMac and disconnect. Boot up MBP then download fresh 3rd Party Apps you use, and if all is OK, then make a Bootable Back up using Superduper to an Ext HD - insurance against future problems, Then every week or so do a Superduper Smart Update - just saves any changes, Then your computing life should be stable.
