2 Apple accounts is not a good idea for husband and wife?

I will try some of theses methods (on the road right now) later. I can’t see safari bookmarks working thought as I can’t even export them to my desktop at all (latest versions of everything), it never saves the export.

Thanks

It does not for me. The dialogue comes up with the option of Bookmarks, History & Extensions then asks a location to save the file (I chose desktop) but it never saves any file at all. I’ve restarted, shut down safari then reopened…. nothing.

I’ve done exactly as you multiple times and get the exact results you get right up to the point after clicking save. I get nothing. The only thing that I can think of is that I do not use a password for my Mac mini (M2 chip, Sequoia 15.2, Safari 18.2). I’m actually trying some of your suggestions now!

Using the password did work! But I am going to take a break from this whole endeavor. I am not sure it's worth the daily work to keep things organized.

My wife and I always share the same account and the only problem we ever had was each device on the Apple account could only be identified by the name on the Apple account. That of course makes sense, but a husband and wife that shares everything, notes, calendars, contacts, photos, music, Pages, numbers, apps, Safari bookmarks, etc. We of course have two different phone numbers and have never received text or phone calls that were for the spouse. You can select in settings which phone number receives that device's, phone calls, texts, and FaceTime. Emails have never been a problem either as you can set up different accounts in Mail and it will get the emails from each account.

Apple doesn't have a viable easy answer yet.

Can you share contacts like calendars? No

can you share a library of thousands of photos both the organization of albums you’ve spent decades on? No

can you share safari bookmarks and keep them in sync between 2 apple accounts? No

can you sync pages & number documents in their native locations? No

there may be some hoops to jump through to make some of these work, but Apple does not have an answer for them natively in the system.

This is what happens when you become a handheld device company instead of a computer company. There is no reason you couldn’t use your home computer as the central device that contains all of yours and your spouses information and that can be shared to any and all devices you wish and still keep that devices individuality as far as ownership and identification.

Thank you, you were helpful! I am not giving up entirely just yet!
