ok

updated computer software on my iMac computer to latest Catalina.

all photos are grayed out and i can't import them into lightroom classic

i can import, without problems, into lightroom basic, but not classic

You say computer, but you state iOS, so computer or iPAD?

If computer, did you update to MACOS Catalina?

Probably best if you would post your system information as lightroom reports it. In lightroom click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste into a reply, Info from first line doen to just past plugin info.

Ok MACOS Catalina. Very likely  Security, Rights for Apps to access folders.

Outside of Lightroom Classic, on your MAC in your MACOS, bring up System Preferences, select Security and Privacy, select the Privacy tab, scroll down to Files and Folders, for Lightroom Classic and while you are at it, for Photoshop, make sure all shown boxes are checked. If you answered no instaead of yes when the MACOS inquired about Lightroom Classic attemting to access drive space (first time) then a box is added but unchecked, as in No.

If you store your catalog or any photos in the MACOS folder PHOTOS, scroll up to PHOTOS and make sure Lightroom Classic is included.
