This article explains how to choose a different iTunes Library when launching the application. It sounds like the alert you're seeing matches the one in here:
iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
So if that's the alert you're seeing, iTunes wants you to either create a new library or choose an existing one. If you already have one on your MacBook Pro's internal SSD, this article can help you find where it is located:
iTunes: What are the iTunes library files?

Location of the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.xmlHope that helps,

May 23, 2013 9:55 AMby kareem5759,I do know how to find a library for itunes, thats how i relocated the library file to my external hard disk since i moved all my music there, what conerns me is that every time i detach my external HDD, i have to make a new library or relocate the one that is in my internal SSD, is there no way that this is done automatically without me always relocating the library file each time i remove my external hard disk?
