Cannot log out of Apple Store

There doesn't seem to be an Apple Store discussions section, so given that it relates to my iPhone 4 order, I'll post here!
The following kb article explains that to protect your Apple ID you should log out when you finish:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4232
However, there appears to be no way to do this after logging into the Apple online store.

I wasn't able to find anyway to log out as well. I also search to internet and found people having the same problem. I'm using safari. I closed safari and cleared cookies. When I navigated back to store.apple.com, my login info was gone.

  • How to log out of apple store?

    There is no log out button after visiting the Apple or MAC store.  Have i missed something?
    Thank you for any pointer.

    I'll have to disagree that there is "no need to do that."
    Here's my situation:
    I have a few different Apple IDs (for personal, for business).  I received an email telling me that there was updated information regarding the status and estimated shipping date for my Mac Pro order.  I clicked through to store.apple.com and entered my credentials to check the status of my order.  After signing in, I realized that I used the wrong Apple ID and I should have used a different one.  But...there is no way to sign out (that I can find).  And even if I close out that browser window and then re-visit the page, it keeps my logged in.  So, my concern isn't about someone being able to come along and purchase something because I'm perpetually logged in, my concern is that now I can't get to the information I need because I can't sign in with a different ID.
    I'm going to try and quit my browser entirely now (which is a hassle for a handful of reasons); but I find it quite surprising that a) there is no clean or clear way to sign out and b) everyone seems to think there is no use case for signing out.  I can think of several, including my example above.

    I cannot log onto the App Store, the page appears when I call it from the dock or the Apple menu and I can call the log-in box from the menu bar, but on signing in the spinning icon just keeps spinning,(not the beachball).  Using 10.6.7 and up-to-date on all software. Any suggestions?

    Could be a third party app preventing you from being able to login.
    Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
    If it's not a third party issue, follow the instructions here.
    Quit the MAS if it's open.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
    Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
    From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
    Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
    Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the MAS.

  • I want to sign out of current apple id and into another one but I no longer have access to my current email address so I cannot log out

    I want to sign out of current apple id and into another one that I own but I no longer have access to my current email address so I cannot log out (It is with an internet provider who I have just unsubscribed with)  This is on an iPhone 5S, on iOS 8.1.

    That email address is still a valid Apple ID. If you do not remember the passcode, sign onto Manage your Apple ID (Apple - My Apple ID) with that email address, and then click on Reset Password. You will be asked to answer your Security Questions in order to reset the password. If you do not remember the answers to your Security Questions, contact Apple Support to reset them for you:

  • Cannot Log Out or Shut Down

    After extended sleep mode, I cannot log out and computer will not shut down.
    The first symptom of a problem that I noticed was that after waking from an extended sleep (i.e. overnight), the screen saver no longer worked and would not auto-start. I thought this was a problem with the screen saver and called Apple support. During the troubleshooting process, I was instructed to shut down the computer, but could not do so. I was forced to hold power button to force shut down. We ran disk utility and repair permission in an attempt to correct the screen saver issue. After rebooting the screen saver worked, but this issue remained a watch item.
    The next day, after the computer awakened from auto sleep mode (overnight), same problem. Screen saver failed to start, I could not start it from the assigned hot corner, and I could not log out or shut down. When selecting log out or shut down, error messages would appear to the effect "log out timed out because Mail would not quit." The Mail program was not active in the dock, and when I tried to Force Quit, it would not display in the list of programs to force quit. I also noticed that Time Machine could not find the external drive. I had to hold down power button and reboot to resume normal operation.
    I cannot resolve these problems.
    Here is my configuration: Mac Mini G4 1.5GHz with 1GB memory. Upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. I have an Admin account & parental controlled account. Power save is set to sleep automatically after 1 hour, and screen saver is set to auto-start after 5 minutes. Computer wakes daily at 5:30 am. I have set a password for screen saver. Time Machine is set to "On" to backup to 250GB LaCie Firewire external hard drive. No content barrier software installed. I have removed all programs from Startup folder.
    I plan to call Apple support again, but in the meantime, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi there EEP1 - I have had the same problem with my Mac Mini for years and cannot solve it either. When my Mac comes awake from sleep Mail usually looks for new mail and hangs indefinitely. I try and quit or force quit and this will stay in the dock. I'm not sure whether Mail is the problem or not, but it seems to take out actions associated with file control in the Finder [saving, quitting, shutting down, force quitting etc.]. It's really frustrating and I'm sure it's not healthy to force restart each time it does this.
    Did you manage to call Apple again? Or find any other soloutions? It's a tricky search term to define when looking for advice from forums!
    Many thanks, Ben

  • Unable to Log out in Apple discussions

    When I try to log out in Apple Discussions, I get an error message saying cannot find page. I have to shut down Safari to logout. I haven't had any problems before. I did have to change my Apple ID to be able to use my new iPod Touch recently so would that have made a difference, or is it something Apple Discussions has been experiencing lately?

    I have also had some intermittent flakey behavior the past few days but have attributed it to using a Windows Vista machine a few times instead of the Apple equipment
    Seriously, the problems I have seen have been more along the lines of not being able to just back up from the second page in a forum to the first page. Have to manually hit page 1 to get back. A few times, backing up has taken me to the login page...hit the back arrow again and revert to the master list. Just a little flakey lately and inconsistent.
    Nothing disasterous, though, so I have just been living with it...may be due to very high usage, when the MBA was announced the system seemed to come to its knees...just way too many people logged in is my guess.

    You need to return it to the seller and get your money back.  You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
    If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

  • IPhone 4 apps not updating that require wifi. They get only so far and then start over again. Now they won't even attempt to update. Given the 'done' or 'retry' option and they're still unusable. I've tried logging out of app store, rebooting, and reset.

    I have 4 apps that will not update. Im mostly concerned with one, as it has a good amount of in-app purchases. It started to
    Update and got 3/4 done then started over again. now im given the 'done/retry' option shortly after attempting an update. I've rebooted, reset(lost all my phone contacts thanks very much....), logged out of app store....
    Perhaps its the wifi I'm using (cruise ship worker here), and will try again on a land wifi signal before worrying a lot. any help would be great.
    In-store helper had me double click home and clear out all opened apps and that worked then , but not now.

    Also, just as a note, I restored my iphone last night, and it has made no difference.
    One last thing... On itunes, when i click 'info' on apps that are said to be under my friends account (ie they will only update when he is logged in), it says that i purchased them under my account, yet it won't let me update them.

  • After updating to iOS7, my iPad cannot log in to iTunes store.

    Updated my iPad 3 about a hour ago, and I cannot log in to iTunes store.
    I tried restarting the device, but this doesn't work. (Strangely no problem on iPhone..)
    Is there anyone has a solution?

    Turn off ios 7 parallax. You should then be able to resize OK.
    Access General Settings, and then select Accessibility. Here there is an option called Reduce Motion, select that and turn on the little switch. This will disable Parallax

    I have 2 ipods in which one is disabled and one iphone 3 which is disabled...Is there any chance to sell it out in apple store?

    Is there a SIM in the phone? It can not be activated without a SIM.
    If there is a SIM in it, that message is often the result of the phone having been hacked or jailbroken to unlock it in the past.

  • Cannot log out of BT Openzone

    I recently purchased a BT openzone package of 4000 minutes over 30 days which has been working fine.
    However when I logged in today, it connected fine but now when I click to log out I get this message: 
    Server error
    The website encountered an error while retrieving https://www.btopenzone.com:8443/home?CPURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.btopenzone.com%2F. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
    Here are some suggestions:Reload this web page later.
    HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfil the request.
    and so now I cannot log out! I have to go to work in a minute and so I am worried that it will keep counting down my minutes although I want to log out! Any suggestions?

    While not excusing avoidable shortcomings, I reckon that paying separately for any wifi service is not a good idea unless you can regularly access a hotspot that you know is reliable. Hotspots are notoriously flaky (especially BT Fon, relying as it does on hub owners playing ball), and I regard the service included with BT Broadband as a handy extra rather than a must-have.
    A mobile dongle is far more dependable, as is tethering a computer to a smartphone or setting up a phone as a wifi hotspot.
