Game Center 'Account Settings' window keeps crashing.

I have an 8 GB iPod Touch 4 running IOS 6.1.5, and I recently decided to change my game center username. But, there's a glitch or something in game center now, when I opened account settings in game center, the window appeared for ONE second, then went blank and started 'saving', even though I hadn't even done anything. I thought maybe I accidentally clicked 'save', so I tried again. Same thing happened. Now it's impossible for me to edit my game center account settings because whenever I open it, it starts saving nothing and then, two minutes later, exits the window. The only way to bypass this (albeit for about five seconds) is to madly swipe the screen up repeatedly until something appears. Is there a way to fix this?

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.
- Sign out of Game Center and then 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Can't change my Game Center account settings

    After a few tries I noticed my friend never receive my GameCenter invites.
    So I wanted to check my Game Center settings but I have problem, nothing can be change.
    I don't have any 'done' button on the top right corner, the only button I have is 'cancel' on top left.
    When I hit 'modify the account apple Id' nothing happen except the control scrolls up.
    I waited for iOS 5 to see if the problem was still there, unfortunately it is :(
    I have an iPad 2.
    Anyone experienced this issue or have an idea on hos to fix it ?
    Thanks a lot

    I finally found a workaround
    See https://discussions.apple.com/message/17099906
    I suppose you are french like me, so basically, switch your system to english in Settings, configure Game Center, and switch your system back to French.

  • How to I contact Apple about a support issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot access my game center account that I had previously. It created a new one for me with my new apple ID instead of keeping the old one.

    I want to submit an issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I had an account set up that I used to play online games. I changed my appleID and then I no longer could access my game center account. I, apparently, had a new game center account created for me (which is friends with my old account) and now I cannot access my original game center account.
    If I can't get access to email apple directly (which seems ridiculously difficult to do), then someone please tell me how to FIX the issue.
    Thank you

    Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
    Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

  • I need to reset a password for a game center account that does not have an email account associated with it. I keep getting a message that it has been disabled.

    We have 3 iPads on my iTunes account.  My son created a game center account as a minor and it did not require an email account. Now he cannot remember his password and he is locked out. I am unable to reset it because all he has is his nickname and not a real apple I.d. How can I fix this?

    I just saw that the app Doodle Jump HD FREE which  is said to be downloaded is not seen in my purchases in APP STORE, so assume it is a spam. However I still cant reset my password...
    Thank you again!
    PS. The email looks so real... from APPLE

  • Unable to create game center account.  Keeps prompting for location and birthdate

    Whenever I try to create a game center account, it loops always asking for location and birthdate.  The phone says the Apple ID has not yet been used in Game Center, tap continue to setup your account, then it prompt for location and birthdate again.  Any ideas how to get account setup?

    I'm gettng this same message.  I have been using the same Apple ID for all my iOS device, but I ended up creating a new Apple ID for my wife's iPhone.  After I verified the new Apple ID, I logged out of Game Center, and entered my newly created Apple ID.  Now I'm stuck in the same loop as you.  Were you able to get out of it?

  • 2 Game Center Accounts on 2 iPads - with the same Apple ID. How to do that?

    I really hope someone can help my daughter and I here...
    The story: My daughter and I had an iPad each - naturally, since she is a minor, both iPads had the same Apple ID & password. In Game Center, we had separate Accounts (so we wouldn't mess up each others zoos and such), but with the same Apple ID. No problems so far.
    Now, some lowlife burglar stole both our iPads... So I have bought new ones, one for me, and one for my daughter. She is thrilled to have her iPad back, and the games she have missed.
    But oh no... Whenever she opens a game, the iPad launches "my version" of the game, with my Game Center nickname. I try to log her in with her nickname on her new iPad, but it is impossible - using the same Apple ID and password, it only shows my Game Center account. If I try to manage my account, or create a new with the exact same nickname she used on her old iPad, Game Center refuses to log on, because the "name is already taken" - Well I know it is taken, it is my daughters, but how to get it? It is like I know both the Apple ID, the password and both GCA names - but I have nowhere to type in "Game Center Account name" followed by the password...
    I need help. I tell my daughter that there must be a solution, and her progress in her games are not lost; I can see them through MY Game Center account, so they are not deleted - but how to enter her part of the account is beyond my knowledge, so please, any ideas are welcome. You have the chance to make a little girl VERY happy :)

    On the ipad that you wish to change the ID:
    You can Erase all content and settings - that returns it to the "out of box" condition.
    OR
    Settings - iCloud - Delete account (It will ask if you want to keep contacts, calendars etc).
    Settings - Messages - Tap AppleID - Sign out
    Settings - Facetime - Tap AppleID - Sign out
    Settings - iTunes and App store, tap apple ID, sign out.

  • How can you delete a game center account?

    How can delete a game center account?

    Hi 5pkoach,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to delete or change the Apple ID that is used with Game Center on your iPad Air. The article linked below provides information that should help you change the device configuration.
    Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Game Center
    Tap Settings > Game Center. If you see the option to sign in, you can change your Apple ID now.
    Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Enter your Apple ID and password, then tap Sign In.
    Learn more
    See how to to sign in with a different Apple ID in other services.
    You might need to wait 90 days for some iTunes in the Cloud features to work.
    If you already updated your Apple ID email address and your device keeps asking you for the password to your previous Apple ID, you can temporarily change your Apple ID to resolve the issue.
    If you want to remove your Apple ID from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can delete your Apple ID and remove all of your information from the device.

  • Create new Game Center account option not appearing on iPad mini or iPhone 6

    I Am trying to create a second Game Center account so that my son can keep his clash of clans village and I can keep mine.  When I log out of Game Center, though, no option to create a new game center account appears (as all the tutorials I have read indicate that it should).  I have tried logging out from app on both devices to no avail.  When I log out though the device settings under Game Center, my only options are to sign back in or follow a link for forgotten I'd or password...  I need help.

    Creating a new iTunes account does not remove any purchases made on a different account.
    If you want to create a new account : iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    Or if you will want to use it in the stores and don't want to give credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    Or if you are not currently logged into an account in game centre then you should have a 'create a new Apple id' link at the bottom of the login screen in it.

  • 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:

    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.

  • Why do i have two game center accounts on one apple id and how do i log into the other one

    One day while i was bored i started up a game but all of my progress items and everything that i paid for was gone and it was the same in all of my other game center related apps. After a long chain of emails with the maker of the game he stopped being helpful but we figured out that i have two game center accounts but only one apple id. So how do i log into the account with all of my data?

    Get a separate Apple ID for one of the phones. Or turn OFF iCloud contacts synching on the one you do not want contacts to synch.
    Settings>>iCloud

  • How do I add multiple Game Center accounts with one Apple ID and one device(I phone 4s)

    I Need help  adding more then one Game Center account to my iphone and I don't want to make a new Apple ID please help and thanks to all who answer.

    After 2 hours worth of searching with no answer, I decided to run a test and it worked. This is what I did to have multiple Game Center IDs on iOS7. (People responding may have over looked this detail because they assumed it was obvious, but it wasn't)
    Answer: you MUST have multiple Apple ID accounts, however, you use the main one to log in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE.
    1. I deleted the Alternate Email Address associated with my account
    2. I created an entire new Apple ID with this email address
    3. I login in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE with my original Apple ID (credit card on file)
    4. I login to Game Center, iCloud, etc... with my kid's NEW Apple ID
    So purchasing still goes under our shared account and game center, iCloud, etc... go under my kid's Apple ID.
    ^ ^ ^ ^ This is the simple straight forward answer I was looking for ^ ^ ^ ^

  • HT4314 How to create several game center accounts using one apple id?

    I have both ipad and iphone. How can i play with my wife/son via game center?

    varjack:  I guess we're just talking about semantics at this point.  What I was saying is:  you absolutely can have multiple accounts in Game Center and still use the same Apple ID to sign in / make purchases across multiple devices - which I think was what the OP was asking.  I would call them "Game Center accounts" instead of Apple IDs because you never actually log into your device using those accounts - only Game Center.  What you are saying is that they are also Apple IDs.  Either way, the terminology is confusing.
    Suffice to say:  the OP can have multiple accounts through Game Center - one for each device - but still keep the "main" Apple ID for making purchases and sharing apps across both devices.  To do this, make a new account in Game Center for the second device.
    Luisno9:  If you're asking is it possible to merge the data from the two accounts, my guess is no.  If you're asking how to log in using only one account excusively, you could try deleting the second account (if that's possible - I haven't tried), although I'm sure you'd lose your place in the game.  Finally, if nothing else works I'd suggest only opening your apps using the same method each time to avoid the problem.  Sorry that's not more help!
