Hey Patricia,


If you are using your MacBook Pro, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key. You should see this:


User uploaded file

If you've always had your library in the same, default location, you'll want to open the following file:

/Users/username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl

(where it says username, just select your own)


Hopefully that will open up your normal library file.
