Game Center + 2 iPhones + 2 iPods + 1 Apple ID = ??

OK, have two iPhones and two iPods in the house all using the same Apple ID*. How will I be able to use the Game Center using the same Apple ID? Possible? All 4.1 compatible devices.
*Obvious why I do this - share Apps/purchases across Apple hardware owned in household.
Thx!

I was wondering the exact same thing, but luckily Apple has this figured out...
I opened up GameCenter and logged in with my "common" apple ID. Once logged in, you accept the terms and conditions and it will then ask you to create a Nickname. This is the name that you will be known by through GameCenter (not your apple ID). For each of your other devices that share the same apple ID, just log them all into GameCenter using this Apple ID, but create separate nicknames for each.
Seems to be working great!
Hope this helps.

  • How do I sign out of Game Center iOS7 iPhone 5S

    I can not sign out of Game Center on my iPhone 5S, iOS7. I have searched for a solution, and chatted with AppleCare. No results at all.
    In Game Center: Tapping on anything on the home page will not result in an option to sign out.
    In Settings: I can "sign out", but that only works for 2 seconds. As soon as I close Settings, I'm signed in again. I hoped it was a setting that cause automatic sign in. AppleCare Chat could not say that is was.
    Live Chat Jan. 28, 2014: Solution 1: (Doesn't work)
    "When the Game Center screen appears, you should be able to tap on your account name and choose the option to Sign Out. If you are signed out, your friends will not be able to see what you are doing. Also, you can go to Settings > Notification Center and change everything for Game Center to Off."
    Solution 2: (Doesn't work, I am NEVER asked to sign in, I am ALWAYS signed in)
    "Sign out the Game Center in Settings. Later, when asked to sign in, choose Cancel. Exit the game, then start the game again. Do this two more times and the final attempt will ask if you want to disable Game Center. Choose Yes. Be aware that you will get automatically signed in if you make a purchase in the iTunes Store or the App Store."
         My reply: I am NEVER asked to sign in. It's just automatically signed in as soon as I close Settings.
    AppleCare: "If that is the case, something is not being done correctly, because signing out is completely possible. You can also open the Game Center application from the Home Screen and choose to Sign Out from there."
         My Reply: No, I can't.
    AppleCare: "Why is that?"
         Me: Nothing I tap on in Game Center brings up a Sign Out option.
    AppleCare: "The Sign Out option is one of the only things to be done in the Game Center application. Does your Apple ID appear there?"
         Me: No. My Apple ID is my email and it's not showing in Game Center, just in settings, then Game Center.
    AppleCare: "These are the way to sign out of the Game Center. If your phone doesn’t give you these options, there’s not much left to do."
         Me: These are NOT the way to sign out of the Game Center!
    AppleCare: "I am happy to listen to how to sign out of the Game Center, if you have found another method.  http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph6c493cac Using the Settings > Game Center method is the official Apple method to sign out."
         Me: I appreciate, but it still won't sign out for me.
    AppleCare: "The one last thing I have here for you is that you can turn on Airplane Mode" (to be invisible, while signed in to Game Center)
         Me: What is wrong? Is my phone defective?
    AppleCare: "It is a software issue. You can restore the software through iTunes, but that is an awfully drastic thing to do to your phone for this issue."
         Me: Will it be fixed?
    AppleCare: If Apple deems it to be an issue happening to enough people to be addressed.
         Me: So, are you telling me, Odds are, Apple won't ever satisfy my request to be able to log out of Game Center on my new phone?
    AppleCare: "You can logout by going to Settings > Game Center. Because it isn’t working right now does not mean the ability is not in place for you to sign out".
         Me: Not getting this, I can but I can't?
    AppleCare: "The ability to sign out is there. Maybe it will work tomorrow or in five minutes."
         Me: .... do you mean it might be fixed tomorrow??...(I don't intend to use airplane mode)
    AppleCare: "If that is the case, then I’m sorry none of my suggestions are to your satisfaction. The Airplane Mode trick will satisfy your purposes and it is up to you if you want to have friends see you or not, when the Airplane Mode trick will fulfill your needs."
         Me: Where to I submit an issue?
    AppleCare: "www.apple.com/feedback" "Yes, the support communities are not quite as formal as the feedback URL I gave you....That is truly where to submit your opinions, complaints and suggestions. Everything does get read and made a note of. Same goes for when people chat in with issues, the issue gets seen by more people..."

    I used this method yesterday and everything was done:
    On your iOS device, open Settings menu then choose the Game Center menu.
    Tap on the Apple ID (yellow line in the above image) menu then choose Sign Out.
    You have done.

    The Game Center used to work with my Apple ID before I updated to iOS 7.4, I used to play multiple player with EA Real Racing 3 game but it doesn't work at all and every time I tried to go to the Game Center it's just blank, even to the settings nothing!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Game Center and sign out and sign back in
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Can't log in to game center on iPhone 5

    Hi..
    Game Center on my iPhone 5 is not working. I have updated my iPhone to the latest iOS 6.1 and have updated all my games.. It was working just fine until a few days ago when it suddenly stopped working. My game center ID and log in is working perfectly fine on my other devices.
    PS:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4314 does not help.
    Would greatly appreciate anyone who can tell me what to do...

    Hello there, Smartapple21.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great pointers and references for troubleshooting login issue for Game Center:
    Using Game Center
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
    Particularly:
    If you are having difficulty logging in to Game Center or staying connected
    Verify that you are connected to the Internet.
    If you are unable to create or sign in to your Game Center account from within a game, try creating or signing in to your account using the Game Center app.
    Try signing out of your Game Center account, then sign back in. If you can't sign in to your Game Center account with an Apple ID, try resetting your password or using another email address. To manage your Apple ID account, go to My Apple ID.
    When using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that your Wi-Fi router is configured for Game Center.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Can't access "View Account" in Game Center on IPhone 4s?

    (I have an IPhone 4s, version number 6.1.3.)
    I wanted to go into the Game Center and change my username, but whenever I tap "View Account" it just loads a green screen and before I can even do anything, it just "saves", and I never get to chance to see my account. I've reset my phone and logged out of the Game Center multiple times, but no luck. Everytime I try to access this, it just gives me this screen and just "saves" in a second, even if I haven't tap anything. Please help!

    alright here's the best shot i have.
    -hold down your home and sleep buttons until your screen fades to black, and keep holding them. now the apple logo will show up and you can let go.
    -go to itunes app and ensure you are logged in from there
    -go back to the game center app, and go to whatever the first tab is on the bottom (achievements, friends, games etc) and scroll to the bottom of the tab
    -click on your Apple ID, and hit View Account
    that should work

  • Making a game for the iPhone and iPod touch!!!

    Hi, I'm not really sure if this is where this thread belongs, but I couldn't find a better fit category, sorry!
    Anyway.
    I'm a complete NOOB at making games. I'm a complete NOOB at flash animations and coding a game with the iPhone SDK. In fact, I have NEVER coded ANY game in my LIFE before, nor touched flash development programs, with the only exception being a month or two using Game Maker 2.0 which involved about 3 lines of code per game .
    I want to develop a quality game for the App store and sell it. My basic idea is using flash to animate some people and having a sniper-type layout where you have to shoot things. (Sorry if I'm being vague, I dont want anyone to take my idea. There's more to it, including one really "clever" aspect of the game (in my mind) which is why I think I can get it to sell.) If its a really great quality game, how long do you estimate it will take me, start to finish, including learning to code with the SDK, to finish this project? 3 weeks? 2 months?
    Thanks!

    Hello, 
    You can't use Flash as that's not available for the iPhone/iPod touch.
    You can find out about developing for the platform here:

  • How can I delete my Game Center account on my iPod?

    Hi, I want to make my device seem like its brand new, but my Game Center account is still there when I restore my iPod. How can I remove this account?

    Try going to Settings>Game Center>Account. Somewhere should be a logout "button". Then, after you've logged out, try restoring again.
    P.S.
    I'm just guessing. I'm not sure. I just say that because the iMessage and email account is like this.

  • HT4314 Syncing game center between iPhone and iPad.

    I just purchased an iPad and none of my Game Center games from my iPhone are transferring over. The games are there, but I can not access the levels that I have made it to on my iPhone using  my iPad. How do I make sure these sync entirely so that I can play on my current levels?

    Amen to this! I'd love an answer to this.

  • Can I stream video and audio from Game Center Live to my HDTV using Apple TV?

    I am trying to stream hockey games from Game Center Live to my HDTV through a cabled ethernet connect to my Macbook Air and then wirelessly to my Apple TV.  Apparently my Apple TV cannot find my Macbook Air because I cannot make the connection.  Alternatively, I have heard that I might be able to access Game Center Live directly with my Apple TV but I'm not sure how to do that.  Any advice is most appreciated.

    You can only access content directly through a native app on Apple TV. To stream from your MBA you would need to use airplay mirroring, which will require a model from 2011 or later running OS X 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use a 3rd party program like Airparrot, results vary to use the trial first.

  • Lost progress in game center account after re-create new apple id account by same email

    My situation is that my apple id was locked (I have no idea why) but I failed when tried to unlock it by Send Email Authentication or Answer Secure question (I noted the questions & answers before, then I'm quite sure I have correct stuffs), no idea why it didn't work.
    At that time, I did a silly action that I created a new apple id with the same email address (I had thought that it had to be impossible because Apple ID don't allow to create apple id with an unavailable email address and my apple id was just locked, not deleted or changed email). Unfortunately, I could create a new apple id with the same email address of the old one, why it's possible
    Then, the new apple id (same email address, same id, even same password ) but all my stuffs on icloud, progress on game center was replaced by EMPTY . hjx, I have a Clash Of Clan account with level 113, I contacted Clash Of Clan admin, they replied that they just could help me to do any necessary query to support if apple require, but they could not restore my progress to the new apple id (new but old)
    I appreciate for any recommendation to help me get my stuff back.
    Thanks for reading!

    I was able to correct this by going into Safari privacy settings and changing the accept cookies from Never to only visited.

  • ITunes won't see iPhone or iPod. Apple TV sync's fine

    My iTunes stopped recognizing my iPhone and iPod touch. I've rebooted both devices, done a restart on both devices. Rebooted my MacBook. Done every combination of the above. Downloaded/Reinstalled iTunes.
    Runnning:
    MacOSX 10.7.2 (Lion)
    iTunes 10.5.1
    iPhone 5.0.1 (3GS) - Upgrading to 4s tomorrow.
    iPod Touch 4.2.1
    I've used both USB ports. Multiple sync cables. Both devices will charge. I'm just worried I'm going to plug in my 4s and I'll have the same problem. And, how to fix the iPod toch.

  • Game center on two iPads and one Apple ID

    I own 2 iPads and use a single Apple ID so I have the same apps and music on my two devices. When my wife created an account on the second iPad it shows no games because they were purchased under my account.
    Please tell me I'm missing something and there's a way to play multiplayer games between my two iPads without buying the games twice for the two iPads I own.
    Thanks.

    UM THERE ISN'T! u either got to change the account names or they are both going to be the same! Consolation: for now they reflect as one player for both devices but they may update to include something to fix this issue later on so I WOULD PHONE APPLE STORE WHERE U PURCHASED THE IPADS AND ASK THEM WHAT U SHOULD DO AND THEY MAY TELL U IT'S COMING SOON OR THAT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL (in which case U NEED 2 of everything!!!! Yeah!
