Not sure what you mean about transferring your photos.  Please explain exactly what you did and what programs/features you were using to do it.

 

I dont' know if this works with Macs but try holding the shift key while launching the Organizer.  On Windows, this opens the Catalog Manager.  I suggest you create a new catalog and see if the program will open.  When you answer my question about what you did, I can provide more information about how to proceed.
