Downloaded IOS 7.1 and now can't access Game Center or friends list in the games I play on ipad.  What is the fix?

I downloaded IOS 7.1 on my ipad.  Now I can't open Game Center or access my friends lists in the games I play.  My ipad is about 3 years old.  What is the fix?

Swiping up from the bottom of the screen with four fingers did not bring up the app preview. A single press on the home button still brings me back to the home screen, but a double press of the home button does nothing following updating to 7.1   Given that, when I added a software home button as suggested by DIAVONEX, I found that all of the apps WERE still open! So thank you DIAVONEX, and you should be careful, bobseufert, as your information was inaccurate.( I did try turning it off and that didn't change anything. ) I don't really want a software home button on my screen, but I guess I will use it until either there is another update to resolve this glitch or someone else identifies a quirky setting that I inadvertently activated...

  • Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

    Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

    If the iPad is running iOS 7 and the kid set up Find My IPad, then you can't restore it without the kid's Apple ID and password. The Activation Lock is a feature that people whined and whined to get, and is causing exactly the sort of problems many of us predicted when people were clamoring for it. If you can't get the kid's Apple ID, you'll have to call Apple Support and ask if they have any sort of workaround. My guess is that they'll have to replace the iPad, but they may have a solution they don't talk about publicly.
    This won't help for iPads currently locked for which you can't get the Apple ID, but if before you give out iPads to your students you go into the Restrictions and disallow changes to the accounts, they can't then turn in Find My iPad. Or you can set up Find My iPad yourselves to your own accounts and then lock the Restrictions so they can't set iCloud up to an account to which you don't have the Apple ID.
    Regards.

    Hello chindeepchow,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:

  • I've just updated my iPad2 to iOS 5.1 and now can't open MyWallet where all my secure info and passwords are held. HELP

    I've just updated my iPad 2 to iOS 5.1 and now can't open MyWallet where all my secure info and passwords are filed. HELP!

    The app hasn't been updated in almost a year, so it may not be compatible with iOS 5 or 5.1. They have next to no support information on their web site, so you may need to email them:
    [email protected]
    The normal route for a single app that won't launch is to remove and reinstall it, but that would probably lose all your information unless you have it synched to a computer. I'd suggest contacting the developer.
    Update: their Twitter feed says that they've had to do a number of updates for iOS 5.1 to fix an issue that was crashing all their apps under 5.1, and have submitted them to Apple. So stay tuned for a while and look for an update.
    Regards.

  • I have changed my email address so I changed my Apple ID and password.  Just realised haven't changed icloud details and now can't access as don't know password or security questions.  Want to delete and set up on new Apple ID.

    I I have changed my email address so I changed my Apple ID and password.  Just realised haven't changed icloud details and now can't access as don't know password or security questions.  Want to delete and set up on new Apple ID.  Help please???

    In order to change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I have totallymessed up outlook on my ipad, attempted to change password, and then couldn't send email and now can't access at all.  can i reload "clean" new version and start all over?

    i have totallymessed up outlook on my ipad, attempted to change password, and then couldn't send email and now can't access at all.  can i reload "clean" new version and start all over?

    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account name>Delete Account. A window will popu after you select your email account in the settings and there is a large red Delete Button at the bottom of the window.
    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Add account. Tap on Add account and start entering your email account details again. If your email account doesn't fit one the per installed accounts in there, tap on Other - and add your account in there.
    I would restart the iPad after you delete the email account, just to be starting "fresh" again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button

  • I updated to iOS 8.2 and now can't use iMessage.  Keeps telling me my password is not correct, but continues to do so after changing it.

    Updated to iOS 8.2 and now iMessage won't work. I disabled 2-step verification, changed password, but still no go.  What gives?

    Hello David,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're not able to use iMessage on your iPad. You've tried some good troubleshooting steps, and I'd recommend these additional steps:
    Turn off iMessage and FaceTime and restart
    Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage.
    Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off FaceTime.
    Restart your device.
    Turn iMessage and FaceTime back on.
    Still not activated after an hour? 
    It might take a few minutes to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If you've waited more than an hour, try these steps:
    Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS.
    If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
    Contact Apple Support.
    From:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • TA21328 I downloaded a security update and now I cannot access my online banking web site.  How do I fix it?

    Does anyone have a quick fix for this?  I downloaded the latest security update and now I cannot access  web page for online banking. 

    It is not asking what part of your country you are in, but what country/region you are in.
    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • Downloaded coupon from shopathome and now can't get onto the internet how do I remove it

    In order to get access to download coupons I had to upload their information and toolbar which is visible on my problem loading page from Mozilla. I was able to get this far by going into windows safe mode.
    I can not get on line by Internet Explorer or MSN. The address is correct. I fear that a virus maybe backdoor or simply the ShopAtHome site has locked me out of the internet. All other computers in the home work on the internet. Is there a way to go back before I downloaded this or is there a way to delete it

    Instructions from the ShopAtHome.com web site ( http://www.shopathome.com/pages/faqs.aspx#gen13):<br />
    '''''For Windows Users:'''''<br />
    '''''To uninstall the Toolbar, go to your Windows Control Panel. Next, click on "Add/Remove Programs". Our Toolbar is listed as ShopAtHome.com Toolbar or SelectRebates.
