Hello Ricky,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
Sounds like iTunes has lost track of some of the content in iTunes.
You can use this article to help locate the files:

If the content was purchased from the iTunes store, you can always download the songs free of charge again.

Once all the media is located it may be a good idea to consolidate the media so it is all in the same place.
