How do I sign back in to iCloud on my Mac after signing out in order to fix a keychain issue?

I signed out of iCloud, following directions on how to fix a keychain issue with all my devices. I was to sign them all out then sign back in on the one with the most info, which is my Mac. I opened Preferences, then iCloud, but the button with "Sign Out" which I assumed would be a toggle does not produce an option for signing back in! Help!

So the iCloud button in System Preferences still says "Sign Out"?
Yes, it is a toggle. If it says "Sign Out", then you are signed in! Sign out, then sign back in.

You can't. iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
But not from a Mac. If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use it with Time Machine.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can add more than one account to your iPad, but you can only have one primary account. Secondary accounts which you can add at settings> mail, contacts, calendars do not have all the features of a primary account such as photo stream.

How can i manually back up to iCloud from my iMac?

how can i manually back up to iCloud from my iMac?

Back up my contacts, calendar and mail. Is there a way to manually start a back up? My iMac is not pushing my information to iCloud for some reason. There used to be a way to do that with Me.com. I don't see a way to do it with iCloud.

How do I sign out of iCloud on an iPad?

My son has an iPad, but it's configured with my wife's iCloud account. Since he's a minor, we've used a 'family' account for music and apps purchases. I'm starting now to set up up with his own iCloud account, but I see that his iPad is already configured to use my wife's iCloud account.
How can I sign out this iCloud account, to begin the process of creating a new one for him?
I see under Settings - iCloud, there is a "delete account" at the bottom, which I'm very reluctant to use, since this is a valid account that my wife uses. SO - is using this button the equivalent of logging off, but not really deleting? Or will it really delete the account?

Go ahead, tap the delete account button. Deleting the account from your iOS device will do just that, it will not delete the data in iCloud.
By the way are you aware that iCloud and iTunes are different accounts. You can maintain separate iCloud accounts and hence separate contacts, calendars etc, etc, though share an iTunes accounts and hence all your music and apps.

You cannot. This is the new security feature of iOS 7, so stolen iPhones are rendered useless. Go to Apple Store or contact Apple Support for help.

You can't. Your mysterious benefactor must remove the device from her (I guess you know it's a her?) iCloud account by logging into icloud.com, going to Find my iPhone and removing from there.

How can I sign out of my Apple ID and sign back in with a new Apple ID on iPad mini?

How can I sign out of iTunes and sign back in with a new Apple ID on iPad mini wifi.?

Tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out, and then log in with the second account. If you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload an account's past purchases then you may tie the device to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

How can I sign out of cloud and sign in as another ID?

My Main Mac and Iphone are both under my iTunes ID but my MacAir would only let me use my MobileMe ID - how can I sign out on my Air, and sign in under the iTunes ID?

You should have done it the other way arround. You should have started with signing out, before you changed your email. I would suggest to follow these steps...
1. change your email address back to the old one
2. delete your iCloud account from all your devices (especially turn off "Find My iPhone")
3. change your email to your new email address aigain
4. add your iCloud account again

How do i sign out of an old apple Account so i can use my new account

How do i sign out of an old apple account so i can begin using my new apple account

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

How can i get back the adobe creative cloud shared folder after I deleting it?

How can i get back the adobe creative cloud shared folder after I deleting it?

I think Adobe pulled the Creative Connect Desktop app until the new CC release next month. I just built a new PC and noticed it wasn't available in the app manager any more. On my other machines it isn't working anyway. In another post Adobe devs said they new it was down because thay were working out some server issues. It looks like they couldn't resolve them.
I bought into the CC right from the beginning since I never buy my software outright but rather use a credit card. I thought that getting the whole master suite for $30 a month interest free was a great deal. Having all the software has been great, but it was over a year before we even saw a desktop syncing folder and noe it seens as though we are going to have server problems every time they upgrade the cloud leaving us to have to use the cluncky web interface during these sync blackouts.
I can tell you Adobe better get it together cause ther starting to p*ss off a lot of loyal customers. It feels like were dealing with a cellphone company who only gives deals to the new customers and once you've signed the contract your screwed.
Here is the link to whats going on

How can i sign out of apple id and create a new one without it affecting my other devices

How can i sign out of apple id and create new one without it effecting my other devices using my existing apple id

Content is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the old one, then you will need to continue to use the old account to download updates to its apps or to re-download its past purchases. If you didn't create a new account but instead updated your old one then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in

How do I sign out in Panther...

and stay signed out?
I work as a lab assistant in my uni's Mac Lab. Often when there's not a project due the next day, there's not too many people here. I sometimes pass the time with iChat. When I sat down tonight, I opened iChat 2.1 and changed status to available. I'm online now without needing to input my password or even username. How do I sign out of this when I leave so that no one can sign back on and pretend to be me? I can't seem to find a preference to turn off this auto-login.
I cleared my password out of the preferences, but it signs in anyway and puts it back. I made sure "remember my password" was not checked the last time I was presented with the password dialog so I don't know what's up.

How do I sign out of this when I leave so that no one can sign back on and pretend to be me?
You need to delete your iChat password from your "Keychain".
If you need help, search
b Finder > Help > Mac Help
for the word "keychain" (without the quotation marks.)
