I upgraded to PSE 10 on my PC. My media files are on an external NAS share named Sahara/Public. Everything looked good. My goal was to keep the photos on the NAS, retire my PC and use my Mac going forward. I then Installed PSE 10 on my Mac then used PSE 10 to Move the catalog from my PC to my Mac. I can open PSE 10 on my Mac and see the thumbnail photos and meta data, tags etc, except all the photos are showing as offline.
When I right-click on a photo and select Show Properties, the folder location displays [//Sahara/Public] /Shared Pictures/...
From the Properties dialog, I click the folder to Reveal in Finder then the Find Offline Drives pop-up appears showing //Sahara/Public as Offline. Action to Reconnect Drives is not allowed with "no drive detected" message below. (However the drive is connected and visible in Finder)
After I go through the process to reconnect a file successfully, the Show Properties dialog then displays Public/Shared Pictures/...
When I navigate the the photo in Finder and right click and select Get Info the following is displayed:
Where: /Volumes/Public/Shared Pictures/picsbkup/My Pictures/Digital Camera/2006-09-02-1249-29
Server: afp://Sahara._afpovertcp._tcp.local/Public/Shared Pictures/picsbkup/My Pictures/Digital Camera/2006-09-02-1249-29/DSCN0712.jpg
I have 50,000 photos and cannot reconnect them one at a time.
How can I correct my catalog so that it recognizes the existing NAS Share and the location of the photos? I no longer have access to the PC.
