Hi i'm new on here so hello to everyone, i am having difficulty with the mac id on my macbook pro, the problem is that because my wife has a iphone and a ipad our id's have become mixed up, i have changed my mac id to try to avoid this but each time i try to sign in it will only let me if i use my wife's id and when i change it on Apples website the next time i switch on it has reverted to my wife's id so i am stuck with her id, and also when i change my id my wife cannot use hers until she has changed her password again and then i have to change mine to match hers and so the cycle starts all over again, is there a way for us to both have our own id's, i enter a different email address when i try to change my id so we have different ones but all to no avail, help please i really do not want to have to go back to the dreaded windows 10 as it is very bad but if all else fails i suppose thats all there is for me, thanks for any help.
 
Easy solution:

Get your wife her own MacBook Pro.
Or... get a new one for yourself and give the older one to her.

Problems solved! ;)
