How do I log out of an iCloud account?

When I first began using my mac, I figured it wouldn't be a problem to just mooch off my mom's apple id. However, now that I've finally gotten around to getting my own, she is still considered the primary user. I still get her messages, emails, facetime, etc. Is there a way for me to get rid of this?

So you are using another user account on the same Mac?
From the admin account, open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Passwords tab.
Click the padlock icon. That will require the admin password.
Then click Login Options then click +
From there you can setup another user account.
When you're done, select that account under Other Users then click Set to the right of Apple ID. You can setup a new Apple ID or use an existing one but no the admins.
To toggle between user accounts, in the Users & Groups pane, select: Show fast user switching menu as: then make a selection from the pop up menu.

HT5622 how do I log out of one icloud account to use my other one my iphone?

Does anyone know how to logout of an icloud account on an iphone4. I accidently created 2 accounts and the wrong one is logged in on my phone. Thanks~

To change the iCloud account on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business. I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time. How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone. The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted. This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.

I bought an iPhone from someone out of the paper and they didn't log out of their iCloud account.

im not too sure how to fix this problem considering I cannot get in contact with them.
so if someone could help me I would really appreciate it.

If they left an activation lock on the device, you can't fix it but may be able to get a refund for the iPhone.

In mail app, you can remove the account and add theirs in settings>Mail, Calendars,Contacts.
or add theirs only and in mail, go up a level and view each inbox seperately.
The ipad is not designed for multi-user use however so it is not easy.

If i log out of an icloud account on an ipod and log into a different one can that old account still be tracked?

It depends on what you mean. If you mean that you changed the iCloud account to which Find My iPod is set up in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings, then the iPod will only be trackable through that iCloud account, not any previous one.
If that's not what you meant, please post back and clarify.
Regards.

I have lost my phone and want to use the find my iphone app to delete all the info on my phone. How can i do this on another persons iphone? do i need to log out of their icloud account and then sign in under mine?

I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?

You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free). When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to. You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.

How can I sign out of my iCloud account from a macbook I no longer have access to?

I got a new macbook recently and neglected to sign out of my iCloud account on the old macbook before I erased and reset it. Now eveytime I open a new Safari page on my iPhone, both macbooks show up with the Safari windows that are still "open". I want to remove my old mac from my iCloud account and have removed it from Find My iPhone but the Safari link still shows up. This is driving me bonkers.

If you mean the iCloud tabs for your old Mac, these will normally be cleared after 14 days. Give it a couple of weeks and see if they don't disappear on their own.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372:
"If you no longer have access to the device that shared the tab, the tab will automatically be cleared from the list after 14 days, if the tab is not updated."
Also, seeing the iCloud tab doesn't mean it's still signed into your account. It just means that the tab hasn't been cleared yet. If you completely erased it should no longer be signed into your account.

How do i log out from my Itunes account?(Force log out)

Hello..
I recently sold my IPhone 3G to a guy i don't know and bought a 3Gs but i think i forgot to log out from my iTunes account
I didn't have any concerns until today when i got a message when trying to update my applications in ITunes saying that this account has been accessed from another computer and requested that i verify my CC(Credit card) password.
I changed my account password and confirmed my credit card password and got charged 1$ but what i wanna know is if i am safe now, meaning if that guy still has my account info without my password, will it promp him for the Password when he tries to buy or use my account??
Thank you in advance..
Rami.

Press sign in, login.
Go to Store -> authorize this computer. Do what you have to do.
And do not forget when you leave to deauthorize that comp and log out.

HT2500 how do i log out of my email account in mac mail?

hi,
i am giving my old mac away and want to log out of my email account before i do so, but can't find the way to do it.
help?

You can just remove the account from Mail in Preferences>Accounts. However you would be advised to erase the entire hard disk and reinstall the system from the disks the Mac came with (which you must include with it when you pass it on). This will remove all your personal data, and also any additional software you bought (which the recipient has no right to use).

How do I log out of my gmail account with my ipad 1 retina?

Ipad 1
I cannot log out of my gmail account, can you help? I cannot find the log out button.

Are you talking about the native mail app that came with the ipad?
If so there is no log off feature, you simply close out of the mail app.
