I had this same problem with my husband's iPhone: I agreed to do the management of it on my computer (he steadfastly refuses to learn anything about computers). I tried to register the iPhone in his name, using a different Apple ID and a different email address, but the Apple website simply wouldn't accept that. To this day, it remains 'mine' in the eyes of Apple. He never buys apps or music, so that isn't a problem.
There must be quite a few families that share one computer, so they must face this problem all the time. Why doesn't Apple make it a bit easier?
