PLEASE HELP HOW DO I SIGN OUT OF iTunes ON MAC

Having gone thru the confusion, this means your Mac's desktop's menu (iTunes, File, Edit, etc.), which may be dimmed out in favor of the iTunes window selling you music – not the window's centered menu (My Music, For You, New, etc.) or the "Music Quick Links" Account option.

iTunes is not Yosemite. iTunes is iTunes, and the top menu option is the same whether you are running Yosemite, El Capitan, or Sierra. As the instructions above indicated, you have to sign out of the iTunes App. Open iTunes, and click on the "Account" option at the very top of the screen. Then click on Sign Out.

Yosemite is slicker, more subtle, 'cleaner', harder to find the buttons, and harder to work. I don't know what possesses software designers. Sorry, I have no idea how to log off of iTunes.

With apologies, I'm a know-nothing, but thought the point might help someone else who might somehow (hard to believe) overlook the app menu. In my case, the Mac second monitor desktops dim when inactive; with iTunes open on it, the app menu was nearly invisible, so I only scanned the iTunes "top" menu – and unbelievably forgot iTunes is an application, not a website. (Long retired, with diminishing eyesight and memory, the obvious can elude.) I apologize for making my daft comment an addendum to your perfect answer rather than stand-alone, or at all. It's a convoluted fail that doesn't belong in these communities.

Had you supplied the additional information that you were clarifying a specific situation, that would have been helpful. Unless you are in the specific circumstance you described, the top menu bar does not "dim out", so your clarification seemed more confusing than clarifying.

There was no intent to criticize, only to keep the waters from getting muddied with an explanation that had no context.

Cheers,

Click on the Account option in the top menu, then on Sign Out in the dropdown.

Cheers,

I believe that indicating that one select the "Account" option in the TOP menu about covers that....
