Changing your name on Game Center?

My sister bought my iPod for me using her name and card, now on Game Center my name is really her name. How do I change it? I have already changed her name to mine on Apple ID.

You have to go to Settings>GameCenter and sign out and sign back in with your ID. However. old games remain  linked to the ID that purchased/originally used them

  • Changing real name in Game Center?

    Here's the deal: I don't have a job yet, and in my country, it's a little difficult to get a credit card without one. I've been using my mum's for a bit now, and I noticed that Game Center uses her name (that of which is on the Billing Address field in my Apple account). I'd really prefer to have my own name on Game Center, for obvious reasons. Is there a way I can change it without affecting the Billing Address?
    Much thanks!

    Yes, but I couldn't find an answered question specifically for iOS 7. I knew how to change the display name in previous versions. Now I have iOS 7 and the view of the Game Center is different. Half of the settings are controllable in settings and the other half are controllable from the actual Game Center but nothing lets me change my display name to other players.  It shows my full name and my username.

    Hi XxCarrisxX,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are asking. If you are talking about changing to or using a different Apple ID in Game Center, you may find the following article helpful:
    Sign in to your Game Center account using your Apple ID. If you don't have an Apple ID or another Apple account, tap or click Create New Account to create an account to use with Game Center.
    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.
    Apple Support: Using Game Center

    However, make sure you are aware of the following:
    Note: Please note each Apple ID has its own associated scores, achievements, and friends.
    Apple IDs are also tied to your other Apple services, and therefore should not be created lightly.
    Regards,

  • Known issue: Cortana will not pronounce your name during setup or when changing your name (Windows 10 Insider Preview SDK and tools, April 2015 release)

    Cortana may not speak your name when tapping the "Hear how I'll say it" button when setting up your name for the first time or when changing your name in the settings panel.

    There is no workaround for this issue. However, you can still complete the process of setting or changing your name.

  • How Do I Hide My Real Life Name in Game Center?

    I have lots of Game Center friends. I have 2 that have somehow figured out how to hide their real life name. So instead of saying "Johnny Appleseed is ... UserName", it just says "UserName". How can I make this the same with my account? Thanks in advance!

    That doesn't help me get rid of the Johnny Appleseed part though. That only changes my username. I'm looking for how to get rid of the real name entirely.

  • How to change your nickname in game centre using macbook pro OSX Yosemite

    I want to change my nickname in game centre but don't know where to go so pls if anyone could help me out.

    You can change your computer name in System Preferences (found under the Apple menu) in the Sharing pane. At the top of the pane it will say Computer Name: PowerBook G4 15".
    Note that the name can contain spaces. Mine, for example, is Ministry of Magic.
    Delete the current name and enter the new name. Note that you do not have to click the edit button out to the right. That is only useful if you want to change the bonjour address on your local subnet to be something different from NewComputerName.local (where NewComputerName is the new name you just changed it to.
    Hope this helps. Good luck.

  • Unable to change "Your name" in BIS

    I have my Gmail account set up in BIS and everything is working perfectly, however, I am unable to change the "Your name:" field to anything other than what's already there.  I've tried deleting the account and re-adding it in there from the web site as well as from my BB to no avail.  When I change the field, I don't get an error and I receive a message saying "Email account successfully updated." but it doesn't stay.  For some reason, just my last name is in there (i.e. Smith) but I would like to change the "Your name:" field to my full name:  John Smith.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong?  TIA!

    What did your mobile operator have to say about it? This seems to be a problem specific to them. They can disable most of the fields your BIS account.

    Before you change it, read that article carefully and make sure you really want to do it.

    There are a few others posts about this. I think the general consensus is, it's one of the many bugs with Ping.
    You can report it to Apple

    The more folks who report it, the more likely it will get fixed.
