After LR moved the cataogue and attendant fies on the desktop, I got the following messages:

I don't know what to do and I also ran a Mac First Aid.

While we await seeing your screen shots, can I ask for a clarification? Lightroom Classic does not move catalogs and related files. So we need more detail about exactly what you did and what happened.

Also could you please tell us what operating system version NUMBER you are using and what version NUMBER of Lightroom Classic you are using? We need version NUMBERs and not words like "latest" or "up-to-date".

Please do not attach screenshots. They are inconvenient to view and right now there is an issue with the forums that makes it impossible to view them (unless one downloads them). Always embed screenshots, using this button:

That's what I already said (when I said: "and right now there is an issue with the forums that makes it impossible to view them"). It is impossible to use the preview option for attachments. The only thing you can do is download them to your computer to view them, but I categorically refuse to do that.
