An archive that did not work?

HI.. W/ about 9 GB left, Ive been burning photos to disk, from within Iphoto, to delete some of the 6000 images Ive amassed. I deviated from that on monday, while wanting to be double-safe, within Finder, I highlighted my Iphoto folder hierarchy and went to file\create archive and my computer sewed everything up in a 8.92 Gb zip file. As it finished, I went to burn the zip file on disk, but now only had 300 Mb left, and got warnings that my start up disk was low on memory.. soon I could do little on my machine. I couldnt even burn. So I dumped programs and Itunes to evenually get 9 Gb. I restarted the machine, and now Iphoto was displaying thumbnails but no larger images. I dragged the 'old' iphoto folder to the desktop, made a new one and then 'added' to library. Both are the same size (9.59 Gb). The 'old' library has all the old albums Ive made, but all the jpgs are gone (only 4kb aliases of the thumbs). My 'new' Iphoto library only has 275 photos, yet is about 9.59 Gb in size. How have I gone from 6000 images to 275? Why am I not finding/seeing these jpgs? It feels like all the parts of the engine are there, but how do I reconnect again? Once I 'zipped',, things went weird. Did I somehow stitch up all the images in that zip file I did, and how could I 'unzip' and replace? thanks so much.. erik

I tried an archive and install again and this time it worked. However, I now find I can't use Bluetooth to send files between my MacBook and iMAC. My MacBook OS after the archive and install is 10.5.1. I've gone through the pairing process and the two computers are paired and connected. However, when I try to send a file from my iMAC to my MacBook I get a message saying that "the device does not have the necessary services".
What does that mean?
