    I have just had a software update on my MacBook Pro. (Used to belong to my husband, who has just upgraded) On restarting there was a prompt to enter Apple ID, and my husband entered his, since I don't have one.
    Problem is, on Safari, all the Favourite Bookmarks are now his, and not mine - how do I get mine back - if I just alter these, they will affect his laptop too, since they are linked to his account.
    I have tried signing out on the App Store

    I was concerned about this - when I select iCloud...Sign Out it says that "If you turn off iCloud Drive, all documents stored in iCloud will be deleted from this Mac (Your documents will still be available on other devices using iCloud)"
    Didn't want to risk losing my documents or my husbands!

    You should be able to export your bookmarks and then be able to import them once you've signed in to iCloud on the computer with your own Apple ID.

    The data is still available in iCloud even if you choose to remove it from the computer. Furthermore, when you sign back in, the information will re-sync to the computer.

    Thank you - but as my bookmarks aren't there, I have nothing to export - If they were there, I wouldn't have this problem....

    I shall have to be brave and try this I think! Thanks. My husband and I usually only save stuff to our laptop hard drives anyway, so I don't think it should be a problem......it's just that phrase "documents.....will be deleted from this Mac...."
