Hi, so basically i have a family iMac, which i used for a few years and stored my photos from my iPad and iPod on. Then christmas 2014 i got and a macbook pro and i have wanted to transfer my photos to my macbook, since i got it but i don't know how. however, i want them to remain on my iMac aswell. As i will be keeping my iMac, so does anyone know how i could do this? thank you

If you're using the Photos app on your iMac, Macbook and/or iPhone it's simply a matter of turning on iCloud Photo Library on all devices after you've logged in to your iCloud account on each machine. All of your photos will begin showing up on all of your devices within a few hours typically once iCloud Photo Library has been activated on each and assuming all are connected to wifi for the photos to transfer.
Apple's new Photos application:
