I want to log in with a different Apple ID on my app store (mac)

I want to log in with a different Apple ID on my app store from my macbook, but I can't find where I can switch my account. It's now logged in with a different email -adress but I don't know how I can change it. Because now I can't download or update things, because I don't have the password of this Apple ID.

MacBook Air, iOS 7.1

However, content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.


You will need to recover use of the old Apple ID or give up on the content bought with that ID. Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue.
