how do you log out of the apple store

Also, if you are in the App Store app in iOS, when looking at either "Featured", "Top Charts" or "Purchased", you can scroll down to the bottom of the screen where you will see your Apple ID:(listed).

Click on that and you will be presented with the options to:

View Apple ID

Sign Out

iForgot

Cancel

Edit, that is on the iPad. On the iPhone I see "Featured", "Categories" and "Top 25" which give you those options.

Try this,...

iTunes > Store menu > "Sign out" or on top right corner, you will see your id, click on that and you will find a dropdown where you find sign out...

The iTunes Store?

iTunes > Store menu > "Sign out"

this one had me stumped too. I needed to switch accounts to locate my iPad Mini purchase.

this worked.

click on the Cart button. in the pane that appears, click on the Check Out Now button.

this will almost certainly (at least in my case) take you to a login screen to confirm your identity before proceeding with the purchase.

in this screen, replace the Apple ID with the one you want to use, fill in the password, etc.

this will switch accounts.

if you simply want to log out, others have indicated that you'll need to quit and relaunch your web browser.

cheers.

I read this question as being Logged in Here (or you country's equivalent)

I looked though the USA one and the United Kingdom and also started "to Buy" an new iMac.

It created a Shopping basket and show me the contents

I was reluctant to go further but I presume it would want to know who I am and at that point I would be Logged in.

(As I had come from Discussion I did consider whether it knew I was logged in there but saw no Log out button either)

I took this to mean the Apple store online using a web browser.

It looks like the log in is using a session cookie.

Closing my browser window and going back, it asked for a log in to access my order history.

If you are using iOS,

Go Settings>Store>Apple ID(your appleid@me.com)>sign out

If you are using Mac/Windows

Go to iTunes>Store>Sign out
