Registered my wifes iPhone under my apple account by mistake - how can I register under her account instead?

I registered my wife's new iPhone under my account and I want to reregister under her Apple account we set up. When I try and register under her account - it comes up as already registerd?

"Registered" might mean in one of several ways. But have you un-registered the iPhone from your account first?

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.

If you are using two iPhones on the same Apple Account by using the same Apple ID you can remove one by following the following:
Choose Settings > Store and tap Sign out
The apps and such should remain. If you want to clear all of that you can do the following:
The Erase all Content and Settings feature under Settings/General/Reset will remove your content and settings.

Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems.

Owning 2 iphones with one Apple account has = Sync Problems. iTunes is thinking my old iphone 4 is the same phone as my iphone 5C. When I plugged in my iphone 5C it auto synced my 5C to iTunes and it wiped my 5C and restored it to the same content as is on my iPhone 4. This is a big problem since my 5 year old has been using the iPhone 4. It's all Mickey Mouse and Backyardigans. (Total photo/app/contacts loss)
I was able to update the 5C and restore from a 3 month old backup that is actually the content from the 5C but now when I plug in my 5C it wants to "setup as new phone" or "restore from backup" What's going on? I'm afraid to choose either option.
How can I get iTunes to see these devices as 2 and not one?
Can I use my Apple ID on both phones still or is this the problem?

They were both displaying the same name in iTunes. I changed the name of the iPhone 4 before the 5C was plugged in but it still went ahead with syncing it to the 4's data.

More than One iPhone on a apple account

my dad my brother and i all are thinking about getting iPhones and i was wondering if it was possible to put more than one iPhone on a Apple account.

You're still not making yourself clear. I am going to guess at what you mean and you can correct me if I am wrong. Let's say you have X amount of iPhones. Are you wondering if you can use them all on the same iTunes account on one computer? In other words, can you download whatever from the iTunes Store and put them on all the phones? Good question...I would say it's possible, but I can't think of any way to do it? Anyone? Bueller?

I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

My Apple TV was set up with a different Apple ID than I have for my ITunes Account. In other words I have multiple Apple ID's. How can get these accounts to sync up?

If you wish to use home sharing then you need to setup the Apple TV under your ID.

I am very confused. When I wanna to update my apps in app store, it shows the account which is my iPhone one is not my iPad one. how can I reset to my iPad account?

I am very confused. When I wanna to update my apps in app store, it shows the account which is my iPhone one is not my iPad one. how can I reset to my iPad account?

And I am very confused by your query. Your iTunes account is the same on all devices - unless of course you have multiple accounts to begin with.
If you do have another Apple ID that you use for the iPad purchases, you can sign out of the account that is on the iPad in Settings>Store.
Perhaps a few more details from you could clear up the confusion???

I have two iphones, different telcos, i am using the same apple id for both - how can i use the 10GB icloud free memory of my new iphone 5?

Thank you KiltedTim!
YES, that is the free 5GB icloud memory for each apple ID. Can I not add the free 5Gb of my second Iphone to my original apple ID (5GB also) as I want to use one Apple ID name on both 2 Iphones? Is it necessary to have a different apple ID for the second Iphone to avail the free 5GB it carries with it?

HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's. How can I merge them into one?

I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's. How can I merge them into one account?

Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

You can't.

HT4352 Can I use my iPhone as an Apple TV remote? How?

Can I use my iPhone as an Apple TV remote? How?

Download Apple's free Remote app from the iOS App Store. Make sure your AppleTV and iPhone are the same network, launch Remote app on iPhone, go into settings on your appleTV and select general > remotes and follow the instructions. You can also use this app to control iTunes on your computer... Enjoy!

I lost my apple tv remote. How can I set up the use of my iphone remote app without it?

The remote app would require home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. If that's not the case then you will need a new remote
