iCloud sign out button grayed out Hi there, This seems like a trivial thing but I can't sign out of iCloud on a laptop. Now, the account I am trying to sign out of is my daughter's account. She's 11 and is registered with Apple as a minor. I'm the "organizer/parent", meaning I get to monitor her usage and approve what she can and can't do. I went to her iCloud settings and removed the device from the list of devices where she's logged in. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks! MacBook Pro Late 2012 OS: Catalina

Macbook Apple ID cannot log out (the log out is greyed out) My Macbook was log in with my Apple ID. However, I was helping my family to set up a new Apple ID. Thus, I was logging out my Apple ID in my Macbook and created a new Apple ID for her. But now, I cannot log out of her Apple ID and log into mine (the ''log out'' button is greyed out). I need some advice. P.S. My Apple ID was connected with my iPhone, iPad, and Macbook together. Regards, Rachel
