Correct answer Theresa J

Did you move your Classic catalog to the new computer, or did you create a new catalog? If you moved the catalog you can get the collections back by turning on the sync option in Classic. When you turn it on, the photos in your Lightroom cloud will start downloading to your MacBook Pro. You might want to change the location of the download in the preferences before you turn that on.

You probably have to sync the catalog again. Because it was moved to the new laptop, it is seen as a different catalog and not the synced catalog.
