Game Center Being Strange...?

i recently got an iphone 4. i already had an ipad 2 with many games on it that i play regularly (like clash of clans and boom beach) that i used with game center so that i could connect with my friends. now that i got a new phone, i made a new apple id and used that for my phone (because i was sharing the ipad with my sister). after getting the phone, i transferred the game data from my ipad to my phone using the old apple id by logging into that game center account. then i deleted the game from my ipad and removed it from game center. but all of my friends and achievements are not working on the game center after i logged on to my own apple id. it still says "welcome back" and all that in the game, but all of the achievements that ive got and even the ones that i got yesterday dont show up on the games section of game center. is there any way that i can get my acheivements and friends thing back?
ive tried requesting my friends again, but it says that i am already friends with that person, even though they dont appear in the games when im playing...
thanks in advance,
RohanZ

Try deleting and then reinstalling the apps

Game Center behaving strangely

So, yesterday I try to play one of my games, Borderlands 2 to be precise, and it won't launch. I can click on the 'Launch Game' Button until the cows come home but nothing happens.
After fiddling for a bit and doing some research I determine that the problem might be with Game Center. So I start up the Game Center app with odd results.
Game Center will not display my Profile nor any of the games I've bought. All it gives me is that spinning icon telling me the app is working on it. It will recommend friends though.
I try singing out and it changes nothing about the behaviour. I quit the app, restart it and sign in. This causes no changes in its behaviour either.
The only thing that seems to work is signing out of Game Center and restarting my machine. Then I can sign back in to Game Center and Borderlands 2 starts working. The strange behaviour on Game Center continues though.
This morning the weirdness started again.
So, does anyone have any ideas on what is causing this odd behaviour and how I can fix it? Thanks in advance.
Please note: Borderlands 2 is a bit buggy. It crashed twice yesterday the first time taking my whole machine with it. The second time just the game crashed but I didn't try playing it again until this morning. I'll be doing the sign out of Game Center, restart machine, sign back in and restart the game as soon as I'm finished here.

Option key>Finder>Go>Library>Preferences. Trash the com.apple.gamecenter.plist file, repair permissions & restart your computer. If GC works correctly, trash the plist file. Another one will be recreated.

Get in touch w/the developer/manufacturer.

Any reason why you have not updated to OS 10.10.3?

How do I tell Apple to fix their software like apps that play sound even though the sound is turned off and not being able to disable features you hate like game center

Apple is suppose to be the pinnacle of usability and, yet, I want to throw my new IPhone 4s as far as I can and watch is smash into a million pieces on concrete. Seriously, I've already got three things that irritate the **** out of me. First, there are Apple apps that insist on playing sound even though the sound is turned off. If I flick a switch to turn the sound off, I want the sound off!!!! Second, if I do not want a totally unnecessary feature like Game Center, I should be able to disable it. I completed most of the Angry Bird levels with 2 or 3 stars and now I have to start over from square one. Maybe, this happened when I upgraded to the 4s but it sure seemed to happen when I joined Game Center. Tomorrow, I am going to reset my 4s to factory defaults to try to get rid of my Game Center account. I don't want Game Center! I do need Game Center! I hate Game Center! Finally, I had an alarm go off to wake me up and there was a Snooze button but no button to turn the alarm off. I flicked the slider to access the main screen expecting to see something to turn the alarm off but there was nothing. The alarm just kept alarming. I had to warm boot my IPhone to shut the alarm off! Really, Apple!!!!

The sound is turned off. Only, some Apple apps like YouTube and Siri make sound when the sound is turned off. It is very embarrassing when this happens at work. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
Turning off game center does not work. The games just prompt me to sign in when they are started.I have tried everything I can find online to stop this behavior. It is annoying and should not happen. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
The alarm went off. There was a green thing that looked like a button but pressing it did nothing. There was a red button that said snooze. I did not want to snooze. I wanted to turn the alarm off. I slid the bar to unlock the phone and there were no running apps with a button to press. The alarm just keep running. I have not had this problem since it first occurred. The alarm now shuts off when I just unlock the phone. It may have happened because I had another alarm app running. The two may have interfered with each other. I would like to tell Apple about it.
It also annoys me that the button that closes apps leaves the phone app running. If I press on a number at 6:00 AM to get information about who called me, the phone automatically dials the person back and my natural reaction is to press on the button to close the phone app but the phone keeps dialing this person at 6:00 AM. It is a bad design. I would like to tell Apple about it.
Finally, I looked all over Apple's site to try to find someplace I could send them a polite message to let them know that I was not happy with these "features" but could not find anything. It is extremely frustrating to have issues with a product and not being able to tell the manufacturer about it. So, you grow up!.
When trying to fix the Game Center issue, I saw a link someone posted to report issues with the IPad to Apple. The answer I am looking for is where is the link to report issues with the IPhone.

After downloading latest update to my iphone3, I found a 'game center' app. When I opened and tried to sign in using my current info it keeps rejecting my password as already being used. Yes, by ME. How do I get past this?

THANK YOU, LIMNOS, I FIXED IT!!!!!!!! [And yes, I was being REALLY dumb.]
Just in case the following is helpful to anyone else:
The switch has to be done manually since all of the sort categories--except album artist--have changed to automatically sort with articles, which is a bit of a pain if you have a lot of articled artists, but there is actually a way to WRITE IN how you want your artist (or whatever) to sort. I just changed my POLICE to COPPERS as a test, and by golly now all the music comes up/is reorganized under C right below Coolio, still listed as The Police!
Before the newest update, the auto-sort always sorted ARTIST to my liking (i.e. ignoring the article), so I never bothered to check out any other tab save Details and Artwork, but voila:
[For any other dummies out there, here's how to get to this screen: right click song or songs-->Get Info-->Sorting.]
Dankeschön, Limnos, really appreciate it!!! But hey, I guess it could be worse when you only have use of half your brain...

How do I find out the email to my Game Center account without being logged into it? please help

How to update apple ID in game center to make a purchase, How to update apple ID in game center to make a purchase

I can seem to be able to make any in app purchases due to the apple id
Not being curent. I have updated the main page of the game center app,
But for some strange reason it shows the old id. Help

You can change the account by tapping or clicking Account and then signing out of the current account and into the correct one. However, you can't merge Apple ID's, & each Apple ID will have its own scores, achievements, etc.

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

HT4314 i have 2 game center account with 1 apple id but it will only access one account. it says the other id is used but i cant change . help.

I have a game center account that has 2 accounts in the same apple id. the problem is i can only access one account. when i try to type in for the second account it says already taken. How do i change to the 2nd account with the same apple id? Please help.

that's the issue, you bought the OS online so Donald is right, it is being mailed to you. post the URL where you bought it.
the 'app store' is an application running on OSX itself where you can DL software.
so, you have to wait for mountain lion to arrive.
if you want to get a clean OS on your machine now, do this
reboot holding down command/option/R (hoping your machine supports this)
open disk utility, erase your HD so you have a single mac journaled partition
choose install OSX on this HD
let it run. from what you said, you will be back on lion.

I can't sign up for a game center account with my apple id email!

I have seen one entry about this already, but it didn't give an answer. I just got an iPhone and can use my apple ID to get apps just fine. But I can't create a Game Center account. In the other thread I saw about this, someone suggested to make sure your birth year is entered in your information. I've done that but it doesn't help.
Anyone know how I can fix this issue?

I feel your pain. I am working on a free e-book project to raise awareness for ALS and running into the same difficulty. We have some big name celebrities lending their Names to the book and are now being forced to explore alternate distribution networks. You are not alone!

How are Game Center "Friend Recommendations" people I know in real life? (Meetup/Facebook data?)

This seems like a major privacy concern, but mainly I'm just very curious how this can possibly happen:
The Game Center app suggests primarily people I have met in real life... but have had NO online interaction with!
I life in a high-population US city, yet at least 2/3 of my Friend Recommendations (maybe more if they had photos or knew these peoples' last names) are people I have actually MET in person and know vaguely... but who I do now know well and who are NOT friends/contacts in any online service.
I have never emailed them (with two exceptions); we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names. I didn't even know that they owned iOS devices or played games at all!
We have certainly never played games with one another before; in fact, I have never used Game Center's friend feature and I don't have any GC friends. I only play random matches, and almost always on non-GC game services, for that matter.
None of them has ever made a friend request to me. I've only ever gotten one GC request, long ago, and I denied it; it was not someone I knew.
Some of them list "zero games in common" so it's not even that (and anyway, millions of people have games in common with me).
Only one of them is in my Contacts (iOS/Mac address book), and knowing how serious they are about privacy, I doubt the email address I have is their AppleID. I know your address book can (for now) be accessed without permission, but these people just aren't listed.
But I DO run into these recommendations in person every so often!
These cannot be randomly selected by geography because a) they're not super close to me in miles, and b) there are millions of iOS users near me. No way that most of the suggestions would be people I've met, if this were chance alone. SOME source of data is being used by GC, and I'm baffled as to what it could be.
The closest three theories I can come up with are all pretty implausible:
1. Indirect Facebook connection. These people are NOT my Facebook friends (with a couple exceptions; I never actually use Facebook but I do have an account, and if someone requests, I generally accept). I double-checked that. But they MAY be "friends of friends" possibly. But how would Apple obtain my FB friend list? And if they did have it, wouldn't they just suggest my actual FB friends, not friends-of-friends? My Facebook login email address is an alumni address that I have never used for any other purpuse; it is not my Apple ID. And I have diligently set nearly every option to "hidden" on Facebook: even friends see a mostly blank profile!
2. Meetup.com. This is a 100% correlation! I'm in several local groups that use Meetup.com to schedule meetings, and ALL of these Game Center recommendations are memebers of Meetup groups that I too am a member of. That's how I've met most of them. But Meetup has no "friends" feature, and most of these people have had no online connection with me (Meetup messages etc.) through Meetup. We've just attended the same events--which do have online RSVP lists--or else we are merely listed as members of the same group(s). (But we're talking large groups, so I haven't actually met most of the members, and I have met most of these GC recommendations.) But how would Apple obtain my Meetup info? Again my Meetup account's email address is not my Apple ID, and I have never used that email address with any Apple service (although it is on my Contacts card).
3. Maybe Apple harvested my address book/contacts list (which does NOT contain these people), and also harvested the contacts lists of these people, AND also harvested the contacts lists of people we know in common who happen to have both of us listed. Then they put it all together. (That's a stretch: the people I know the best on Meetup--whose info I do have in Contacts--are Android users!) But again, why not recommend my actual contacts, instead of contacts-of-contacts? My actual contacts--which contain numerous iOS users and games--are notably absent from the recommendations (with one exception).
Obivously Apple cannot, and does not, literally know who I have met. (No foil hat for me!) But they DO seem to have some data source that correlates closely with people I have met (and Meetup activity especially). I'm dying to know how that's possible.
This is a privacy concern, for at least three reasons I can think of:
1. GC lists these people's real names AND GC nicknames together--BEFORE I have accepted them as friends! And vice versa, I'm sure my nickname is being shown with my real name to total strangers. That means strangers, employers, stalkers, whoever, can now tie a person to their nickname (often the same one they use all over the Interner, not just GC). But we're not talking random suggestions: this is being show to people I DO know. Maybe I don't want them Googling my online nicknames! Maybe I complain about my work with that nickname Maybe I want my online friends and real-life acquaintainces kept separate. I definitely want EVERYTHING kept separate from these people I barely know but run into from time to time! One of these people is, in fact, on the sex offenders registry, and has stalked a friend of mine both online and offline. Maybe he'll learn my GC nickname--the same way it has shown me his--and can now Google that!
2. If I have a lot of "games in common" listed, then they can peg me as a "gamer," which is sometimes a negative. Maybe I want my boss (or whoever) to think I'm more serious, even if he games too, and now he knows I have 30 games and wonders why I'm not staying late to work Maybe I just don't want to be roped into being "friends" online with my boss, or having to let him win games! Again, although this is a small issue at first glance, it's less small when things are being shared with people you really DO know in real life. What if my hypothetical stalker sees I have games in common? Sure, I can deny their friend request and cancel their 500 game attempts, but I'd rather be 100% hidden from them in the first place. I have no prior online contact, I want it to stay that way, and I've never given Apple permission, that I know of, to share my real name with people I never friended. (And even if I did, it should be with random strangers--not actual acquaintances.)
3. The big mystery--how is Apple getting data that correlates with who I've met in the first place? I'm guessing that some people see the same pattern I do, and some don't; which might lead to an answer, but so far I'm stumped. (If this does tie to Meetup some bizarre way, that would be unnerving because Meetup ties me to real places and specific times.)
Theories are welcome! And a basic question: what data sources DOES Game Center have available to use in making friend suggestions? I would have guessed maybe Location Services (nearby people) and people who have played a game with me (or made a friend request) in the past. But those sources are not what I'm seeing.
(Even weirder is that nobody else seems to have posted about this happening; it may not happen to everyone, but surely some people have had this same question? I feel like I'm in a Kafka novel...)

That's a good thought that could explain some cases, but not mine: these people definitely don't know my email address, and I'm not in their Address Book. (Some of these are people I might meet on a hike, say, and nod to in passing on other hikes once a or twice a year, and that's the extent of the "relationship"--no contact info ever exchanged. We don't even know what cities each other are from.)
we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names.
I should correct my first post: I said I "do now know well"... that should be "do NOT know well".

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.

Game Center email verification problem

I can't send my friends email requests from Game Center because I my email address's never had been verified. I've tried requesting verification emails over the past several weeks I've owned my iPod Touch, but despite getting a notification that Game Center sent one, I never receive the email. I also checked my spam folder each time, but it's as though Game Center never sent any verification despite it telling me it did so. I talked to an Apple rep a few weeks back and they told me their Game Center verification server (at the time) was back logged and that I would receive the verification emails shortly. If by shortly they mean before I die, they might be correct on this one. When I initially tried this verification process, I had 4.1 but now I have 4.2 and this still doesn't work. Am I missing something here? Is this feature broken for anyone else? I should note I am able to add other people by their Game Center name, I just can't sent Game Center requests by email. This is really frustrating. Am I doing something wrong?
By the way I sent verification emails to my gmail, AOL, and my Comcast accounts all with the same problem.

I am having that same problem, and as far as I know, I'm not doing anything wrong. They need to get this fixed.
I am also having trouble setting up my FaceTime on my Mac because it's saying my email is already being used. Hmmm... Nice try. It's not.

Can't restore iPhone 5 with iTunes error 3. and my iPad3 and iPhone 5s can't login to Game Center

Hi. This is the first time since I knew apple devices..
I own - iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1
          - iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.4
          - iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4
          - iPhone 5 "out of service"
          - iPhone 5s with iOS 7.0.4
          - iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1
          - iPad 3 with iOS 7.0.4
Ever since I own my first iPhone 4 I never face unresolved problem like the 2 I'll mention.
1- suddenly my iPhone 5 lost mobile company signal and word searching appears instead but no signal for the hole day so I changed the sim with other provider and since it gave me the same result I searched the web and the seems no solution other than restore.
I did restore and update to iOS 7.0.4 but at the restore takes at the last 1% in the last moment of restore it will take loooong time then gave me error 3. And now for more than a month the iPhone stuck with recovery logo. Almost I tried every trick in the book . Change USB cable, port, PC. PC with other OS . Even freezing the iPhone as I read here noooooo result the same happened again and again.
2- when I update my iPad3 to 7.0.1 everything went normal till one day ago suddenly I found my account logged out of the Game Center by its self and when I wanted to log again it will gave me error of can't connect to server or cocoa error??? Strange thing I can use other account to log in but mine No. Only my account is forbidden in my device while any other account I can login normally. Also my account and Game Center working without any problem in all other devices.
I also tried every trick , change my ID then password then the whole ID domin nothing works. I restart normally then by pressing power/home. I logged off my self from all other devices and tried but also no hope.
So - my account has no problem working with any other device
     - My iPad had no problem with other accounts in Game Center except me. While the same account had no problem with iCloud or email in the same iPad.
I don't and I will not DO restore since it is bizarre problem and I already faced same problem in my iPhone 5s when I restore old backup to iOS 7.0.4 and was the only solution is to set up as NEW iPhone
I saw similar problem but no difinite answer from Apple itself and this is strang but always I was loyal customer and already convinced about 8 of my friends to use iPhone during last 3 years and I expect apple to be loyal to me in the first time I am seeking there actuate direct advice.

"1- suddenly my iPhone 5 lost mobile company signal and word searching appears instead but no signal for the hole day so I changed the sim with other provider and since it gave me the same result I searched the web and the seems no solution other than restore.

I have exactly the same problem with my iPhone 5s!

How do I set up individual or minor accounts for game center under iOS 7.0.4?

I have three ipad minis (one for each kid). They are all set up through my apple account with my apple ID. How do I set up game center so that they aren't sharing game stuff. They each want their own game center?

I see dropdown menus for SMTP SSL and IMAP/POP SSL. I have them both set as "Require"
Do not to this if your server is handling incoming mail from outside your network.
Few remote mail servers will use SSL, so if your server requires SSL then you will not be able to receive mail from outside your domain.
'Use', on the other hand, advertises the fact your server supports SSL, so clients and remote servers can use if if they like, but this still allows other mail in.
What should "Authentication" be - "Login" or "Plain"
Do not use Plain unless you absolutely trust all your clients (i.e. they're all on a LAN or all using SSL). Plain sends an unencrypted password over the wire, which is susceptible to sniffing.
what will the client be using?
Whatever you set it to.
The client complains about a correct root certificate not being installed).
Are you using a self-signed certificate? if so, you're going to get that unless you do a lot of extra work. Getting a real certificate from a trusted authority should resolve this.
As for the slow connections, the use of SSL shouldn't significantly impact connection or delivery/transfer times, so something else is amiss.
