I'm new to this, so sorry if this has already been covered - although it is very confusing so I doubt it has!!

I have an Acer laptop, that had my iTunes on it which was set up with my iPad and my iPods before that.

Then a few years ago, my mum got a iPhone. She needed an iTunes to set it up, so after getting advise from an Apple shop, I created a new library within my iTunes for her iPhone. I also did the same when I got my own iPhone. So there are now 3 librarys linked to 1 iTunes - I have my own iTunes username and password and my mum has her own.

About 5 months ago, I bought an iMac, but I have been too scared to try and somehow transfer my iTunes from my laptop to my iMac! Anyway, after some more advice from the Apple shop, I finally bit the bullet and I purchased an external hard drive and copied all of my music to the hard drive. I then "added to library" onto my iMac, and it worked!

My question is - now what?! I know I need to plug my iPad into my iMac and sync it (yes?) but how do I remove my library from my laptop but still keep my mums library for her phone? Can I even remove it or will that delete her library?
