I purchased my first MacBook and am having troubles getting Lightroom Classic to display my catalog properly. For better understanding all my photos are located on a NAS. From my Windows 10 PC the mount point was "Z:/Multimedia/Picture Picture/..." and now from my Mac it is "/Multimedia/Picture Picture/...". I got my catalog to connect however all of the photos under the collections section are just showing grey boxes with no images in them. Any thoughts on what I need to do?

Response was supposed to say definitely not on the NAS.

You probably simply need to reconnect the top level folder to the right location. The Z: part in the location is meaningless on Macs so it simply doesn't know where to look for the images. Look in the folder section for your top level folder and right (or control) click on it and select "Update Folder Location". Now point it to the location of the NAS mount on your new machine - just navigate to it in the interface that pops up.

I forgot to say that when the folder is not where Lightroom expects it to be, instead of update folder location, it will say Find Missing Folder.

You were correct that I needed to find the new location of each folder. The issue was my Lightroom orginization stinks and there were hundreds of folders...probably need to rethink how I do that.
Anyway, thanks for the help. Good to go now!
