Hi, Check under the Advanced pane of iTunes Preferences and make sure that iTunes is pointing to your Library on the external HD. If it is, then do the following:
1. When in iTunes, press cmd-o to Add to Library 2. Press cmd-shift-c to focus on all connected media. 3. Navigate to the external and expand it. 4. Find your movies folder but don’t expand it. 5. Once it is selected, just press return and iTunes should bring the titles back into your Library. It shouldn’t do any copying since the movies are already in the right location but it will take a bit to properly add them to the database. HTH. Later...

Finder shows all the ripped movies in the Home Videos folder. In iTunes, when the My Movies button is selected, there is no Home Videos button to the right. And no Movies popup button. It was all there before. iTunes has lost track I guess. >From The Believer. . . By way of the Chariots of the Gods cameth the Aliens who dwelt amongst the humans, and bringeth much knowledge.
