To my knowledge you will lose your original creation dates when you import to a mac. Maybe somebody geekier than me (than I?) would know how to do it but my experience is that the mac will date a new file to the time when it is imported because, according to the mac, it didn't exist before that time. One suggestion for a work around is to create folders on the mac with the creation dates you want to save and import the files into those folders. When I move files from one mac drive to another, if the dates are important to me I sometimes alter the file name to include the relevant dates. So far that's the best I've been able to do.
