Mary,
If both programs do GEDCOM, and most do although I don't know about
Reunion
specifically, you will have no problem exchanging data by exporting a GEDCOM
which your daughter can import into her MAC program. The problem, from my
standpoint, is that anything in the scrapbook of FTM will not be transferred
by
GEDCOM. For that you will need a program which can read FTM files directly.

In the 2009 version of FTM the pictures are not stored within the
database
so you can transfer them separately using JPG or some other graphics format
common to both computers.
