Cannot add friends in Game Center with child account

I have two child accounts with their own iPads and unable to add friends in Game Center other than the family group owner.  All restrictions have been turned off in settings and Game Center profiles are setup as public and allow invites.  I would like to friend my two child accounts together so that they can play together.  Is there some restriction for child accounts in Game Center?

Nevermind...after some more searching I found this, it worked!

Scroll down until you see the instructions for the Terminal commands, and remember that you need to hit the control key to make the commands work, NOT the command key!

    Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
    Try:
    Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
    Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

  • I can't add friends on game center on my 5S

    I have recently switched phones, from iPhone 4 to 5S and everything have been good. However today when I tried to add a friend on Game Center I couldn't. It says something about 'can't add friends from this device' and I have no idea why. Also my friend tried adding me instead but I didn't get the request. Please help.

    i tried that that several times in the beginning, but then I finally figured it out ! I had to go to settings then to restrictions , in restrictions I needed to allow Game Center to add friends, but then I just decided to turn all restrictions off in general . glad that's over and done with ! Now it works !  Thank you for your response though!

  • Can't add friend on Game Center

    Heey,
    I just got an iPhone 6 plus and I'm trying to add a friend on Game Center to play games against her.
    Unfortunately I tried to add her through her username, e-mailaddress and iCloud-address but she did not recieve an invitation.
    She either tried to add me through my username, e-mailaddress and iCloud-address but did not recieve an invitation.
    This is really annoying and can't find a working solution on google.
    Thank you very much

    So I guess Apple Moderators don't really appear on these discussions much to answer questions. Good to know I suppose considering I have the same problem. I have never been able to add a friend request to anyone on Game Center and there is no option for support on the app itself.

  • Can't add friends in Game Center

    HI!  Our doughter has  iPod touch 5th gen. She has a child Apple ID account which we used to sing in to Game Center. She can use multiplayer option but can't add friends from her contacts. When we go to friends button she gets message: allow iCloud contacts in settings. In restrictions adding friends is allowed and on iCloud contacts are on. Tryed to turn off the iPod several times. Please help!

    I've just realised that before getting your reply, but thanks for the confirmation!
    It's strange how all these people on Facebook say "add me!" but they don't give you their Game Center name and so you can't add them!

  • HT4314 Why can't I add friends in Game Center?

    In Game Center, my friends screen only shows a-z, recent & leader boards. No + to add friends. Why? What am I missing?

  • After updating iPod to iOS 5.0, cannot get into Game Center with previous nickname. It says my nickname is already in use by another account.  Why did this happen and how can I fix this with my old nickname and its data?

    After updating iPod Touch to iOs 5.0, I cannot get into Game Center with previous nickname.  The screen says my nickname is already in use by another account.  Why did this happen and how can I fix this so I can still use the same nickname?

    Did you haveany problem with updating to iOS 5? It soundsl like the update did not correctly restore from the backup that iTunes mnakes as the fisr step of the update.

  • I cannot receive invitation from game center

    I could send invitation to friends in Game center to play games (Fruit Ninja) online together, but I could not receive the invitation from them.
    I have already open game center in notification center, and the Wifi connecting is OK.
    But I have denied the "notification pushing" from game center at the first time I use this app.
    I am wondering how to solve the problem and play games with my friend online.
    Thank you

  • I cannot log into the game center as I forgot my password and am not able to reset it.

    I cannot log into the game center as I forgot my password and am not able to reset it because I keep getting the error that the info I submitted is incorrect.  If I ask for an email message, it doesn't come thru but friend requests are received on that same email.  If I use my second account, I can't use the same nickname and all my info is lost.  Any suggestions?

  • How can my wife and I be friends in game center if we use the same Itunes account?

    How can my wife and I be friends in game center if we use the same Itunes account?

    You can set up multiple accounts in Game Centre, sign out and create new account. You just need a different email address from any existing Apple ID's and a new password. You can still use the old account for purchases.

  • Another Game Center with Apple ID problem

    hello everyone, i have read all game center problems but i couldn't fix mine.
    Here is the problem:
    I have in my email account ([email protected]) one apple ID, but in this ID there are two different accounts with different names (vs & djvs) in Game Center. The "djvs" i made at the beggining and the "vs" that i made later...
    I restored my iphone yesterday and when i typed the apple id it logged me in the game center with my djvs name whitch is empty as i made it when i first got the iphone and it was like an experiment. How can i log in with my other name from the same email? is there a solution?
    thanks

    Under the General menu, erase all content and settings, an set it up as a new phone.

  • My husband has a iphone, now i have one to. We want to work with the same calendar, but i want to play in the game center with my own name... how can i do that? and still use the same calendar

    My husband has a iphone 4 8Gb, now i have one to. We want to manage our calendar with icloud. We use the apple id that my husband made, but i want to play in the game center with my one name and games. How can i do that?

    Sounds like you encrypted your iPhone backup, & if so it's asking for the encrypted backup password. Do you have a company Exchange account on your phone?

  • How to open game center with a maestro card

    Hello,
    How can I start in I -tunes and game center with à maestro card and not with à credit card?
    Thanks, Gazer.

    I have the same problem . I don't understand why iTunes and AppStore does not support maestro cards. It's just annoying that you can't buy anthing anyway without a credit card or gift card.
