When importing from an old Lightroom 2 catalog into Lightroom 4 (also from Windows to Mac) I seem to have lost all the development history of my photos.  Is there any way to retain that?

I finally managed to get through the process of moving files and catalog from Lightroom 2.7 on a PC to Lightroom 4 on my Mac.  I think I did it all correctly and all my file and previews and some tagging seems to be there.  Two things are lost
1 - Most importantly, the development history on my files.  I can see the edited versions in the previews, but as soon as I click on it, I can see that I lose all the changes I had made before.  When I look at Development history, it just says "Imported on...."  I'd love to get this back.  That is a ton of processing work just lost because I switched computers.
2 -  The collection names seem to have come over, but they are all empty.  This is also a lot of work lost, though not as important as #1
Is there any recourse?
