What do you mean "imported the last saved catalogue from a week ago"?
- If you have the Lightroom catalog folder AND the the original image files on the same external drive, you just open the .LRCAT file on that drive with Lightroom and everything should work fine. - If you have moved the Lightroom catalog folder to the internal hard drive of the iMac, you right-click on the topmost* folder shown in the Lightroom Library module, Folders panel and use the "Update Folder Location..." function to pilot to the topmost folder on the external drive volume. Then everything should work fine. * by "topmost" I mean the folder in your image file hierarchy which contains all the other folders in which your original image files are stored. You might need to right-click on the folders in the Folders panel and use the "Add Parent Folder" command iteratively until all folders are contained under a single topmost folder. I have an download on http://www.gdgphoto.com/articles which relates to this ... click on "08 - Lightroom - Moving a large number of files" as the concepts and operations required are the same.
