Game Center - 1 mailaddress 1 pwd 2 nicks?

hello
when i first time opened game center I was aked to create an accout or login with my apple ID.
I used my apple ID (same as in iTunes) and logged in. so I was asked to create a nick an I called it (e.g.) 'XXXX' which was a vailable. I was told to receive an email on my account and was asked to verify. but this email never arrived.
when I logged off from GC and tried to relogin with the same credentials, I was asked again for a nick so I typed in 'XXXX' again and was told it had already been taken. ok so I used 'YYYY'. available and again an aler that I will receive mail. and pronto it came immediately. I clicked the link and verfied my mailaddress.
now GC show 'YYYY' on top and the icon on bottom left says 'ich' german correspondant for "I/me".
ok so far so good.
I opened my first GC game - pool bar online hustle - and was asked to login to GC account. again same mail and pwd credentials as before.
and whooops I am logged in with the nick 'XXXX' (the first one) not 'YYYY' the second one I verified.
back in GC I see that there it changed too. from 'YYYY' to 'XXXX' and now the botom left icon shows 'sandbox' underneath the icon.
ok so i logged off in GC and logged in again. whoops switch back. nick 'YYYY' icon left bottom 'I/me'.
the switched back to multitasking bar into pool bar game. whoops a prompt for login again.
and guess what: yes it logs me into sandbox.
I tried to delete the app from phone, reboot and sync again. same same.
an this happens with all GC apps, my second one real racing 2 does the same.
login in GC -> YYYY no sandbox
open any of the two GC games -> I am welcomed with XXXX and GC shows sandbox again?
what the **** is going wrong with my GC account?
looks like 2 nicks are assigned to the same apple ID ... one in sandbox one without sandbox
please help or let me know how to contact apple on this issue.
rgds,
stooky

I have the same exact problem.
2 different nicknames on gamecenter associated with my apple ID.
For instance I am logged into game center under my usual nickname. Then let's say I open up fruit ninja, and even though Im logged in, fruit ninja asks me to log in again. When I do so I get logged into my other nickname (which was mistakenly created by my younger cousin).
Apple does not seem to offer technical support for free..

How can I choose another name for Game Center? (not a nick)

How can I choose another name for Game Center ? (not a nick)

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
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
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.

HT4314 Game Center nick

I have the same problem but with clash of clans as I tried loading my sons game and now on my new ipad it puts me to level 6 under his name instead of being the leader level 53 of Canadian Ruler very frustrating and Apple Care techies could not figure this out either.

How do I disable Game Center in ios7?

Hi there. I know this question has recently been asked, but I can't seem to find a solution to our particular problem. My 8-year daughter wanted to play Early Bird HD on my iPad and when she started the game, the ios7 game center login screen appeared, with no visible option to cancel out of it. I refused to let her sign on to Game Center, because there's no reason for my 8-year old to be part of that community. Has anyone out there encountered the same issue since downloading ios7 and does anyone know how to prevent that screen from appearing? Without a way to disable it/cancel out of it, my kids can't play these games anymore.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

fYou don't. Apple seems to consider Game Center participation mandatory and there is no way to disable it.
The most you can do is use an ID that's not your real Apple ID. I use a secondary ID for my Game Center because I didn't like the privacy violation either. Pick a nick name, pick an e-mail. If you don't have an 'extra' one, sign up for a hotmail or something and use that.
In the settings you can disable multiplayer games and invites, so that will help a bit.

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
Greatings,
iJeanPaul

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 I play Game Center Games with other family members sharing one Apple ID

I have several IOS devices sharing the same Apple ID that my sons and wife use. I have set up a game center account using that ID and can find no way that we can play head to head games on those multiple devices against each other using that one Apple ID login, even if I create multiple Nicknames. Am I missing something?

An Apple ID is just an account that uses an email address and password. It does not have to be tied to iTunes. You can create one here. Create one each for your sons and wife.

You said you restored your iPod. Did you restore from backup? If yu did then yur game progress and Game Center stuff should have beeb restored.

Game Center Multiple Users

I have 2 iPads and 2 iPhones. They are all under under the same Apple ID but are used by different people in my household. I signed into Game Center on the first device and created a user profile. When is launch Game Center on the second device, it signs in using the the same profile I created on the first device and I don't see an option to add another profile (which was possible before iOS7). Did they change that? Is it possible to add multiple Game Center profiles under the same Apple ID? If so how?
I want to be able to create multile profiles so my family members can play each other.
Thanks.

You can't. Game Center is a system of leaderboards and achievements, not a data storage service.

Can't change Game Center settings on a french iOS (maybe other languages)

I just spent a fair amount of time with the support concerning a serious bug in Game Center on a French system, I think it is worth sharing.
Summary:
On a french system, one cannot edit game center settings (country, emails, and more importantly, confidentiality — If your profile is public, you can't switch it to private)
Steps to Reproduce:
Setup iOS in french
Go to Game Center
touch the mail address (it has to be already configured)
choose to view account
Try using one of the following actions
change email address
confidentiality
country
Additional note : there is no Save button on the upper right corner
Expected Results:
A view controller should be pushed in the current navigation controller
Actual Results:
The view is simply scrolled to top
Regression:
I think this bug is present since first releases of Game Center
Workaround :
A solution to perform changes is to switch the system to english and when done, switch it back to french.

HT4314 can I have multiple game center accounts with one itunes account?

All members of the family havee iphones ipads associated with the same itunes account. How can they have seperate game center accounts?

they cant, and they should all have seperate Apple Id's

Help! i have one apple id but 2 game center accounts.......each mini has their own but now they seem to obtain the same game center id......help!

i have one apple id.
i have 2 mini ipads with different game center id's but same apple id...
each ipad has their own email address setup, even though they can see all 3 email address...
why does the game center id no longer keep its own game center id?

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:
Using Game Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
Game Center settings - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a13d039
Game Center settings
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
Allow invites
Let nearby players find you
Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

Game Center "Games" and "Friends Tabs loads Forever

Well i can enter Game Center but when i go to "Friends" tab or "Games" tab it just loads forever, if i try with challenges i see the "no challenge" legend some with the turns tab (no turns) since i dont own a turn game and have no challenge from other friends, but i cant see Friends and Games tab since they wont stop loading.
a specific problem with it is that i tried to play Clash of Clans after having deleted it (but not from game center) and the game takes it as a new one as it says im not connected to Game Center.

Well it didn't work, it still loads forever the "Games" and "Friends" tabs, but my brother came yesterday and try to help me, i tried logging out of game center but when i go to settings>game center and log out, when i go back to settings (top left button) then go back to Game Center it says im logged in (as if i had never logged out) so my brother tried to log on his Game Center account after i logged out but then just started to load forever his account and when i tried to open the game center program it would just white screen with the loading disk forever, after doing what you told me things went back as before (my account, i can open Game Center but Friends and Games tabs wont load and games will act as if i were not connected to Game Center).
Thanks for everything tho guys i hope i can solve this issue its driving me mad!.

Just got a new iPad. How do I move my Game Center games? I keep getting another family member's account because we share our Apple ID.

Hi. I just got a new iPad. How to I move my Game Center games from my old iPod? My family uses one Apple ID, and I keep getting another
Family member's Game Center on my iPad!

Okay so I figured out the solution by reading other discussions. Basically you need to delete on your phone the icloud account and start up a new icloud account with a new email address. This is nice because you can still share apps without getting everyone elses things. The only thing that didn't get worked out was the notes...
On your phone go to settings and then icloud, scroll down and delete the account. Then just make a new icloud under a new email.
