I recently switchced from Windows to a Macbook Pro. My catalog is fine but my collections are grayed out. I can import new photos but can't access photos in existing collections. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you post a screenshot that illustrates the problem? A proper screenshot, please, not a photo of your screen. Embed it in your answer using this button, do not attach it.

There is no screenshot in your reply. You can't post a screenshot if you use email to visit these forums. Visit the forums with a browser. And you can't post a screenshot by posting a link to a local drive.

On the MacBook Pro, did you import the photos, or did you open the LrC Catalog from Windows and use it?

I did not import the photos onto the Mac hard drive. The photos are on a file server. The Lightroom catalog is on One Drive.

The Lightroom Classic catalog is on One Drive.

Putting catalog file on One Drive is a known cause of problems. I suggest you not do this, put catalogs in a folder on your computer's hard disk that is not associated with One Drive and see if the problem goes away.
