How do I assign a new Apple ID to iPhoto?

It all began back in 2010 when I bought a used PowerMac G5 to see how I got along with MacOS. When I got it, the OS was already set up, along with a few Apps, such as iPhoto and iMovie. I didn't have an apple ID back then, and it didn't matter, because the OS running (Leopard) didn't require one. So I used the preinstalled iPhoto.
Then, in 2011, i scraped my money together, bought a MacBook Pro and used the built-in Mirgation assistant to get my documents and data there.
Since then I wasn't able to update iPhoto, because it probably was installed on the PowerMac with a different apple ID - and this information was transported over to my Macbook. The app store wouldn't let me install it with my own ID. And because I can't find a dmg for iPhoto, I can't just uninstall and reinstall it.
Now using a non-updated iPhoto wasn't really a problem - until now that Mavericks won't support this old version any more. And I can't access my photos any more.
So is there a way to assign a new Apple ID to iPhoto? Or to uninstall and reinstall it without losing any photos?
Because there is no way to get the ID from the company that sold me this Power Mac. I don't have any contact data any more...

To create a new ID see:
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
Then either you can:
- erase the iPod (Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings) and set it up as a new iPod with her ID
- Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>Game Center
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
You can also continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

I have iTunes on my laptop but it is registered to an apple id for an ipod which I have not used/owned for years. How do I add my new apple id which I use on my iPhone to my iTunes on my laptop?

I recently purchased two songs which refuse to download on my iPhone 4s. Other songs from the same albums downloaded just fine. In an attempt to recover these songs I opened iTunes on my laptop which I have not used since I sold my ipod years ago. The iTunes on my computer is associated with an old Apple ID that was connected to my iPod. How do I get my new Apple ID synced with the iTunes on my laptop?

You cannot merge accounts.
You need to sign into the old account on your computer.

How do I create a new Apple ID and delete my current one?

You can't delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from in and stop using it - but anything that you downloaded from the stores with it will remain tied to that account.
If you don't know the password for it then try this page to get it reset : http://iforgot.apple.com
If you also don't know your security answers, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.

How to re-register to new Apple ID

I just registered my new iPad and inadvertently registered it under my wife's Apple ID. How can I designate a new Apple ID for it?

"Not true."
Yes, true.
"They are associated via iTunes and an aaociation lasts for 90 days. This is especially relevant with iCloud."
It's no "especially relevant with iCloud". It is ONLY relevant for using iCloud.
Regardless, it is not what the OP was asking about.
