My two iPads share an Apple ID.  How can I create a separate Game Center account so they can play each other?

1. This is a year old post.  Things have changed, the answer is no longer accurate due to how the OS functions now.
2.  You can't have a second Gamecenter account tied to the same Apple ID, because the Apple ID is the game center account.  They are not separate things.
3. The OP said they had 2 iPads, which means they can use a different Apple ID for Gamecenter on the second iPad.
4. You can still creare Apple ID's specifically for game center without changing them for the other services on the other devices.

I have the same issue.  Young children who cannot get Apple ID's but we all want separate Gamecenter accounts.
You need to get Apple ID's for them.  They aren't getting them, you are. You can manage these new ID{s yourself. You can even make sure they have no credit card and are not associated with any other service on the device. So essentially they are Apple ID's for GameCente only.

  • Separate game center account with a shared Apple ID

    My wife and I share an Apple ID in order to use the app store. Is it possible for her to have a separate Game Center account and username? It appears that game Center is connected to your Apple ID and therefore when she is playing a game on her iPad mini, Game Center recognizes her as myself. Can she create a separate game center account for herself even though her iPad is linked or registered to my Apple ID?

    So there is not anything that i can do to get my stuff on to a different id? i know the password and all that if thats needed...
    Is there any 3rd party software then?

    How to Change to a different Game Center account

    It will only effect GameCenter. It will not effect other apps and things on the iPod.
    You can change the account you are signed into by:
    iOS: Tap Settings > Game Center.
    OS X: Click the Me tab in the Game Center app and click on your Account.
    Note: Please note each Apple ID has its own associated scores, achievements, and friends.

  • How do i make a new game center account

    how do i make a new game center account

    If you are logged into your old game center account on your device, follow these steps:
    1.) go to settings
    2.) scroll all the way down until you see the game center tab and click on it
    3.) you should see an option to change your profile name; click inside the box
    4.) type in your desired profile name and then it should either give you an option to save or if you exit out it should save by itself. To check, just repeat the steps up until #3 but don't click the box. You should see your new game center name.
         Hope I helped!

  • How to set up 2 separate Game Center profiles on 2 separate iPads but same Apple ID

    how can you set up 2 separate Game Center profiles on 2 different iPads with one Apple ID?

    First you both have to have your own user accounts on the MBA and separate iCloud accounts.  From there it's relatively simple to create you own libraries and have your respective iPhones link to those library when both devices are logged into the same iCloud account.

  • How to I contact Apple about a support issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot access my game center account that I had previously. It created a new one for me with my new apple ID instead of keeping the old one.

    I want to submit an issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I had an account set up that I used to play online games. I changed my appleID and then I no longer could access my game center account. I, apparently, had a new game center account created for me (which is friends with my old account) and now I cannot access my original game center account.
    If I can't get access to email apple directly (which seems ridiculously difficult to do), then someone please tell me how to FIX the issue.
    Thank you

    Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
    Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

  • HT4314 Have apple got any plans to allow iPhones sharing an apple Id to have separate Game Center accounts

    Have apple got any plans to allow iPhones sharing an apple Id to have separate Game Center accounts

    You can create another apple Id for a seperate device.  My wife and I both have I phones and we share the same apple ID for purchases.  We however each have our own apple ID for icloud or gamecenter as it were.  That way you can share all your apps, music, movies and books but have your own ID for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and so on.  To make it extra clear I have two apple IDs on my iPhone.  One for purchasing and one for icloud or gamecenter.

  • How can I retrieve a forgotten Game Center account?

    I have a Clash of Clans account and I'm playing it for about 2 years. It was level 97 and it's currently in town hall 9. I'm afraid that I will lost my game if my phone gets broken. That's why I want my account to be linked to a different device, but I can't do it because it's asking me to log in first to my Game Center account. How can I retrieve my Game Center account? I just changed my Apple I.D. when Apple updated it's IOS to IOS 8, because it required me to do so. But when I wanted to log in my Game Center account it asks me to log in in my game, but it kept on saying that my game is already attached in another Game Center account. What am I suppose to do? Please help me. I don't want to lost my game that I played for years now.

    Howdy kanereyes,
    In order to use the Game Center settings and progress from that game, you will need to log in to the Game Center account you have been using with it. You can change Game Center accounts on any device using the steps in this article -
    Using Game Center on your Mac or iOS device - Apple Support
    Specifically -
    Sign in to Game Center
    Open Game Center and sign in using your Apple ID. If you don't have an Apple ID, select Create New Apple ID. If you need to sign in with a different Apple ID, follow these steps:
    iOS: Go to Settings and tap Game Center > Apple ID > Sign Out. 
    OS X: Go to the Me tab and click Account > Sign Out. 
    When you sign in with a different Apple ID, you'll see different scores, achievements, and friends.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How can I restore my original game center account to my iPhone after an update?

    I just updated my phone to the latest ios thing. It deleted everything off of my phone, so it was brand new. Like, it could have just come out of the box. I finally got my contacts and music back, but 1. none of my apps will load 2. my gamecenter account won't let me in. I tried logging in with my old username and password, but it wants an apple account and it won't work for mine. How do I restore my progress in games, as well as the apps? Can I just restore my phone to the way it was before the update?

  • 2 Game Center Accounts on 2 iPads - with the same Apple ID. How to do that?

    I really hope someone can help my daughter and I here...
    The story: My daughter and I had an iPad each - naturally, since she is a minor, both iPads had the same Apple ID & password. In Game Center, we had separate Accounts (so we wouldn't mess up each others zoos and such), but with the same Apple ID. No problems so far.
    Now, some lowlife burglar stole both our iPads... So I have bought new ones, one for me, and one for my daughter. She is thrilled to have her iPad back, and the games she have missed.
    But oh no... Whenever she opens a game, the iPad launches "my version" of the game, with my Game Center nickname. I try to log her in with her nickname on her new iPad, but it is impossible - using the same Apple ID and password, it only shows my Game Center account. If I try to manage my account, or create a new with the exact same nickname she used on her old iPad, Game Center refuses to log on, because the "name is already taken" - Well I know it is taken, it is my daughters, but how to get it? It is like I know both the Apple ID, the password and both GCA names - but I have nowhere to type in "Game Center Account name" followed by the password...
    I need help. I tell my daughter that there must be a solution, and her progress in her games are not lost; I can see them through MY Game Center account, so they are not deleted - but how to enter her part of the account is beyond my knowledge, so please, any ideas are welcome. You have the chance to make a little girl VERY happy :)

    On the ipad that you wish to change the ID:
    You can Erase all content and settings - that returns it to the "out of box" condition.
    OR
    Settings - iCloud - Delete account (It will ask if you want to keep contacts, calendars etc).
    Settings - Messages - Tap AppleID - Sign out
    Settings - Facetime - Tap AppleID - Sign out
    Settings - iTunes and App store, tap apple ID, sign out.
