How you Import and Sync Images and Metadata from different catalogues will depend on your “setup”.

- B: Importing from another computer, either a laptop or desktop (e.g.: when shooting in the field)
Here are the main steps to do an import from another catalogue…
Step A:
Determine the location of the catalogues on the COMPUTER(s).
PC default Location c:usersmy picturesLightroom
Mac Default Location: //Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/
This just helps you find them for the next step…
Step 1.
Start Lightroom loading your Master or Main Catalogue.
(Hold down the alt/option key when you startup Lightroom) Note that, Lightroom defaults to loading the last loaded catalogue…
Step 2:
The Menu item is:

A double click on the .lrcat file will open the dialogue box below…

The 3 bars and the exclamation point indicates that there is “new” data
Number 2 in image above…
If you want, you may choose to preserve “Old” setting in your CURRENT catalogue, LR will make a virtual copy for you.
Number 3 in image above…
Choice #1:
Add New Photos to Catalogue without moving…
Use this option if you are happy with where the files are located, and you just want to tell LR where they are…
Choice #2:
Copy new photos to a new location and import…
Your photos are on a Laptop or another computer, or you are adding or consolidating your photos into a single catalogue…
Choice #3:
Don’t Import new photos, You just want the metadata
Number 4 in Image Above… Replace:
Step 4 Click Import…
Other Hints… (Working in the field)
If you are using a second copy of LR on a Laptop and you are using LR’s default location to store the photos, when you get back to your desktop you will have to do the following.
1. Using your laptop, plug-in an external drive.
2. Export your “Shoot" as a Catalogue to the external Drive.
Menu:
File > Export as Catalogue… To the External Drive.
3. Eject the External drive from the laptop and plug it into your desktop

Importing iPhoto and Aperture photographs into Lightroom
Importing iPhoto and Aperture photographs into Lightroom
Way back when, Lightroom 3 used to be able to directly import photos from Apple’s iPhoto and Aperture’s convoluted storage method. Apple changed the structure apparently after I abandoned iPhoto (version 5 or 6/), and it suddenly became much more difficult to import photos into Lightroom. On top of that this spring when Apple announced it was no longer going to support it’s Pro Application, Aperture there was some Panic from Aperture users about what to do.
Adobe to the Rescue.
Adobe has released a plug-in for Lightroom that will allow you to Import BOTH Aperture and iPhoto Photographs directly into Lightroom!
The caveat is, not everything will import, but most important of all, You will gain control of YOUR images trapped in Aperture or iPhoto!
Here are the details, directly from Adobe’s Lightroom Blog
Aperture import plugin now available (It also works with iPhoto!)

Finding your iPhoto Photographs
Apple changed the behaviour of the iPhoto Library folder after iPhoto version 6? or so… just clicking on the iPhoto Library folder wont open it. You NOW have to right click on the folder and choose "Show Package Contents"
/Users/Username/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals
Easy Access to the "Originals and Modified Folders
Navigate in the finder to the iPhoto Library
path is .../Users/Username/Pictures/iPhoto Library
You should now see the Originals and Modified folders
Right Click on the Originals Folder and choose the menu item "Make Alias"
Now drag the aliased folder to your Pictures Folder (Or where ever you want them)
Do the same for the "Modified" folder
Now you can use Lightroom or any other program to"see" your Photographs!
