How to sign out of one account and log in with ano...

I can't believe you make it this difficult and complicated to switch to a new account. Your advice to people on other posts, if they have an old account and want a different name is to set up a new account. I've done so and every time I open Skype it defaults to the old account. I can't make it switch to the new account. This is far too complicated and frustrating. The only reason I am using this on my Mac is because my work group uses Skype. I have Factime on my Mac and it is Far, Far easier to use and switch users. If I type "switch to new account" in the help search bar, nothing helpful comes up, except for a lot of "geek speak", most of which makes little or no sense to me. I want to be a user, NOT a code writer, get it! HOW DO I SWITCH ACCOUNTS ON MY MAC SO THAT I"M USING THE NEW SKYPE ACCOUNT I JUST SET UP.

Under File, choose Sign Out to log out of the current account. You can then sign in with the new account. If you don't want Skype to autolog you in, untick the box that says 'Sign me in when Skype starts.' That should do it.

How to sign out of the accounts in other devices

How to sign out of the accounts in other devices
I have given the Password number of the people do not remember the order closed the account of it please help

The only way to sign out of an icloud account is to do it on the actual device. You can't do it remotely (assuming you do not wish to use the Find My iPHone feature to wipe the device - and assuming that serice was turned on).
Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.

I had a MobileMe account and when Apple switched to iCloud I now have two mail accounts: @mac and @me. Additionally my folders in iCloud not longer show up in my Mail program. How do I return to one account and see my folders on my mac?

I went to Notes. Showed all notes. Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud. I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed. It did. I deleted the other two notes. I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts. The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account. The warning comes up: This will delete all IMAP notes on your device. Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad?

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there!

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there! iTunes 12.1.0.50 on OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Why is iCloud doing this, and how do I view my content again?

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

Multiple users in household, how do I simply sign out of an account and not delete the account?

I just got an iPad and am still figuring out its quirks. One thing that is completely frustrating me is that I am being told that I have to delete accounts instead of simply being able to sign out? I don't get it? For instance the Gmail app lets you switch between accounts but both are always signed in. Same with iCloud and Appleid's. I don't get it? I have multiple users at my house that use the same apps but we can't sign in and out as our respective selves? Is this an Apple thing? I haven't used Apple products since the mid 90's so I could just be out of the loop? Not being able to Sign in and out doesn't seem very logical to me so it makes me think that I must be missing a step because why on Earth would you not have that function? Help me understand. Please and thank you.

You are not going to like the answer, but no you cannot sign out of email accounts on the iPad. The iPad was originally designed to be a single user device that was to be used in conjunction with one's own iTunes library. That was back in 2010 when the first iPad was released. many things about the way you can use an iPad have changed, but it still designed to be a single user device.
Anybody can check email in a web browser on the iPad, just like one can check ther email on any computer by signing into their account, but the built in Mail app does not have separate user accounts. You can sign into and out of Apple ID's on the iPad but that is where Family Sharing comes into play.

How to sign out the mail account

Hoe to sign out my email account.

If you mean password protect your mail account? You can't. You can password protect your device as a whole, but not individual parts of it (not beyond restrictions that is)
If you need to keep your mail private from other users of the device, then don't use the mail app. If your mail provider has a web interface use that.

How to sign out of apple id and insert a new one

I had to restore my iphone so when I did it the phone remembered my old Apple ID. So I created an updated one etc and now it says under settings that the new one is in effect but when I go to the app store it has the old one. I have logged out etc but the old one keeps popping up when I try to update or download an app.

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 of my account after logging in? There is no sign out button when signing into my apple account using safari

Every time I sign into my apple ID account online I cannot log out by clicking a "sign out" button.
This is quite strange. Closing the browser window doesn't automatically log me out either.
I know with itunes there is a sign out or log out button but not with signing in your account online.
I had to change some personal information which is why I noticed it.

I'm on a PC. Maybe that makes a difference. And I went directly to apple.com; I did not launch the store from Itunes -- so perhaps that's the difference.
Whatever it is I am never presented with a command bar that looks anything like yours.
The following image is from when I am actually accessing my account data:
No log-in; no screenname; no log-out -- And yet I am in a secure domain.

Is it possible to get my iTunes money out of one account and put it into another account?

So I bought a Macbook Pro recently and a lady, who was working at the Apple Store, was putting in a Back to School giftcard for $100 in my account but I forgot the answers to my security questions. Since the lady already have put that money in that account, I was wondering if I make a new account and take the money out of my old account and I can put it my new account. Will it be possible or not? Please answer my question

This is not possible...

Currently trying to download netflix onto iPad mini, whenever it goes to open in App Store it is just blank? My restriction settings are all open, have tried signing out of my account and back in but no luck!

As above, the netlfix link opens the App Store however is just blank...

Try this:
Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up for each open app
then
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

If you have 2 apple ids, how do you sign out of one and into the other so you can update the app that was purchased in the other account. thanks

If you purchased an app in one account and work mostly in another, how do you switch the purchased app account to update it?
thanks

You need to sign out and back in only if you're on your Mac and you want to update the iTunes data. You'll see a notice saying that there are five (or so) updates but when you go to download them, they're not all present. So you download them, sign out from one ID and sign back in with the other ID. Then you can download the remaining ones.
If you're downloading directly to the iPad, everything is transparent. It does not matter what ID is configured in Settings. The iPad automatically chooses the correct ID or IDs when updates are available.

Please, please tell me how to sign out of adobe online.

I do not need an adobe online account. I though I was updating acrobat when I downloaded a program from your site. Some of my features appeared to be lost after that, but there was a suggestion to sign in to adobe online. I thought I had to do that to get the features I was used to using (extract pages, etc.). Turns out I was in a new program: Reader. I did not need to be signed in on line at all. I think I clicked keep me signed in. I do not want to be signed in. I also gave you my email address and real birthday. I do not want adobe online to have that or track me. Please tell me (1) how to sign out of adobe online, (2) not be tracked by adobe; and (3) get my real birthday out of your records. Thank you.

This is a user to user forum, not a way of addressing Adobe. As to your specific questions, I don't know what you mean by "Adobe on line", so I cannot suggest how to sign out of it. And I don't know of any commercial firm that will agree to completely erase all your data from their records, so I wouldn't expect you to find any way to acomplish what you ask in (2) and (3).

Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate account on same macbook. Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account

Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate itunes account on same macbook. Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account. How do I do this?

iTunes account is not the same as iTunes library.
iTunes account is what you use to purchase from iTunes.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
You can have items from multiple iTunes accounts in one iTunes library.

HT204053 Can I set up two iCloud accounts on my IPAD3 at the same time? If not how do you sign out of one to sign in to another?

Can I set up two iCloud accounts on my IPAD3 at the same time? If not how do you sign out of one to sign in to another?

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.
