New to Capture One

I just installed Capture One pro 9 on my mac. Of course I'm all excited, importing my first photos seemed awkward but I got a folder with 9 images in to practice with. Now every time i try to import a new image folder it seems to give me the option to only import the very same photos, the drop down menu in the tutorial video does not show up. Now I have a small list of sessions and catalogs from my attempts that are blank and they do not seem deletable.

Any help would be appreciated, I have watched the video over and over.

Thanks, Doug
