    Heya haulemhard,

     

    It sounds like you either want to sign out of the current account in iTunes or want to change your Apple ID email address that you use for the iTunes Store. If it is the first that you are trying to do, then this section of the following article should help you:

     

    Sign in to or out of the iTunes Store

    After you set up an Apple ID (or if you’re using an existing AOL account instead), you can sign in to the iTunes Store to buy music and video, view or change your account information, and see your purchase history.

    When you finish using the store, you can sign out to prevent anyone else who has access to your computer from making purchases using your account.

    Do one of the following:

    • Choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
    • Click Sign In near the top right of the iTunes window (or click your name and choose Sign Out).

    From: iTunes 12 for Mac: Manage your iTunes Store account

     

    If you are trying to change the email address of your Apple ID account, this article will help you instead:

     

    Change your Apple ID

    1. Sign out of iCloud, the iTunes & App store, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and iMessage on each device that uses your Apple ID.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
    3. In the Account section, click Edit > Change Email Address.
    4. Enter the email address you want to use as your Apple ID. A verification code will be sent to your new email address.
    5. Enter the verification code from the email into the fields provided and start using your updated Apple ID. Didn't get the email?

    You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already in use as an Apple ID. If your email address ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com, you can't change your Apple ID and you won't see Change Email Address on your account page.

    After you change your Apple ID, you need to use your new sign-in information with all Apple services you use.

     

    If neither of these are what you are trying to do, or it doesn't please don't hesitate to reach update the thread! Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, take care.
