Apple ID linked to Another

I have my complete own Apple ID. My computer has always been connected to my dad and mine Apple IDs (I’m not really sure how ??) because we shared it. But I just recently got a new computer, and when I log on with my email and password, it signed me in as my dad and synced all of his iCloud info (contacts, images), but it synced my messages and call logs. It doesn’t make any sense. I want this computer completely not associated with his Apple ID. I logged out of his and into mine again and this time it said it was mine with my email and name instead of his, but the profile picture and phone number were his. So random. Under his Apple ID, it makes all of his devices and then my computer and Apple Watch. How do I disconnect them? And how do I change all the contacts on my computer into mine? We share the My Devices section… both of ours are the same under both IDs …. And my iPhone isn’t under either of them. So confused

To change the profile picture, see the article below.


 Apple ID picture on your Mac.     


To change the phone number, go to System Preferences/Apple ID for Catalina and later or iCloud for earlier than Catalina, click Name, Phone. Email and change the phone number there.


For Contacts, you will have to manually change them.


Have you logged into your ID in System Preferences/Apple ID for Catalina and later or iCloud for earlier than Catalina? Have you changed the ID on your watch? Changed the ID on your phone?


If you have changed your ID and password, have you followed the steps in this article? Make sure you turn off Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.
