I just upgraded to a new MacBook and my wife is inheriting my old MacBook Air. How can I change the her MacBook Air to now be fundamentally hers? That is, so the House Icon under Users folder is her name and not mine? Also the default AppleID for purchase stubbernly remains my own.

You do not mention it, but I will assume you are running OS 10.9.1.
Go to: Apple menu / System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click the padlock and enter your password.
Click the + (plus sign) and set up a new account for your wife. You have to enter a bunch of info. And then create the correct Login Options. Automatic login does not require a password from the selected user.
When that is done, verify the account works by restarting the computer and login as your wife.
Make sure that any applications in your own Users folder that will be needed are moved to the Applications folder in your wife's Users folder.
Now go back to Users and Groups, click the padlock and authenticate, select your own account, and hit the - (minus sign). This step cannot be reversed, so you might want to wait a few days before doing it.
When your wife is logged in, the App Store will know.

Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and tap the Apple ID, select logout. Then login with your new ID

I reorganised my music organisation totally in iTunes on my Mac (Lion). iTunes does not sync this new artist organisation to the iPod and many albums are divided over several artists. How can I change this?

I've called the Apple helpline. The only way to organise music on the iPod classic, is to use playlists. They themselves can be organised in playlist folders.

Sorry, you can't. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID, nor can they be transferred to another Apple ID. You will have to update them using the ID used to originally obtain them.

i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

If you have admin privileges create a new User account so you start fresh or you can go to System Preferences > iCloud and sign out using his ID and sign in with your ID. I suggest moving to a new User.
CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups. Give it Admin rights
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar.
Delete the previous account after you have moved your personal files over to the new User via the Shared folder.

I had to recently change my email address. Everything is fine except for when I want to download an app, my old email still shows up. How can I change and/or update the new itune email address on my phone?

All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. You can't transfer apps downloaded with one account to another account or merge accounts.

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

I bought a used ipod nano and it is associated to another itunes account. How can I change the itunes account to mine so I can register it to my account?

I bought a used ipod nano for my daughter and when I tried to register it, I got a message advising that it is registered to another iTunes account. How can I remove that association and associate it to our iTunes account?

Restore it in iTunes on your computer.
There is a difference between registering with Apple and using it with iTunes. To register it (which isn't necessary) you would have to get the previous owner to de-register it.
