for some reason my itunes is not recognizing all the files i added into my library from my external hard drive, whenever i click on one of the files to play i get the exclamation point next to the file, then it asks me to browse for the file, then i can manually add it to my itunes, how do i fix this situation and get my music back??

I am no expert... but this may be it. Sometimes, external drives "spin down"- that is, hibernate- when they have not been used for a while. You may need to "start" the drive up first, then open iTunes.
