Hi Doug, Glad that this all worked out for you, and it was simply a missing file responsible for your post (and that I read your post that this was working in another thread before starting to try troubleshooting). The iTunes library database files should stay on your main mac drive, and not on your external drive, since they contain the information on where to locate your music and other media files (whether the tracks for your music files, etc. are on your laptop hard drive or on an external hard drive.)
HTH.
