Game Center confusion

I have an iPod 3gen and iPhone 4S. I want to use Game Center to play games on both with current data. But on one game (Smurfs Village) it keeps asking which version of the game I want to play and won't keep the current one. On another game, it continues to load an old game (Clash of Clans) and it won't allow me to delete the old one and restart the game either. And yes, I've deleted the game off the iPod and iPhone through Game Center multiple times and restarted the devices. Nothing seems to work.
How do I fix?

I've just had the chance to try my headphoens in another iphone (version 3.1.3) and they alsod o not work on that.
Looks like I have broken headphones, but no sign of damage also checked for loose contacts on wires.
after taking as much care as possible i guess I'm onto my 2nd pair of headphones now, thats going along with the three sets of usb cables Iv gone through. Apple must improve the structure of there wires on these phones and ipods. they can easily split or become warn due to movement in pockets and just handeling in general

  • Profile picture and status bar don't appear in Game Center

    I first signed up for Game Center when it was released in the days of iOS 4. I used my iPod Touch 2nd gen. There was no status bar or profile picture, but I didn't realize because I was new. I later changed to an iPhone 3GS when iOS 5 was released, and the iPhone was restored to the backup of my iPod Touch. After my iPhone was fully functioning, I retired my iPod Touch. I noticed then that I was missing the profile picture and status bar because my Game Center friends had them. In December 2011, I bought myself an iPad 2 Wi-Fi. Still, no profile picture or status bar. I am confused, because my iPhone and iPad are running the latest version of iOS, 5.1.1. I have done plenty of troubleshooting, with no answer. Please help me.

    Yeah, my internet is on and working too. I have been looking in to this issue- I have emailed Apple to make them aware. It seems like it is affected most, if not ALL tbe Game Centers on 2nd Gen and from what else I've heard, 3rd gen devices too. Whether this is intentional I don't know- it seems odd that everyone has suddenly been disconnected from their games tab on Game Center older devices, so perhaps it is a ploy by Apple to ensure more people switch to a newer device? We'll see. For now, I would recommend you follow the posts I've put up previously too. See my profile for my contributions.
    Thanks, and add me on Game Center if you like.

  • How to manage different apple id's for icloud and itunes purchases and game center etc. ?

    Hi
    Myself and my brother have been sharing the same apple id for all the itunes purchases. We both have iphone 4. Since the introduction of icloud, we are little confused about the id managing process. Yesterday, we both updated our iOS to iOS 5. And, just after installing iOS 5, we were asked to enter apple id and password. We both entered the same id and password. Now both are iphones have overlapping contacts and other stuff.
    Now, we have deciced that we want to make separate apple id's for ourselves i.e we want different apple id's for our iclouds (plus game center) and same apple id's for all our itunes purchases (if we are allowed to do that).
    So now we have no idea how to do this after once entering the same id during iOS 5 installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you're wanting to share content between multiple apple ids in the family I would suggest to use iTunes match.

  • 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!

  • Game Center ID not associated with Apple ID

    I Upgraded my daughters iPad to iOS 8. It is asking me to enter the Apple ID to log into Game Center vs her Game Center ID. When i do this is requires me to create a new Game Center account. I enter the old account name and it says it is already taken.
    Somehow the GC ID and the Apple ID got disconnected after the upgrade. How do I get the two connected again?

    Hello CJ_Baran,
    People log into Game Center with their Apple ID.  This is not to be confused with their Game Center nickname, which is like a screen name.

  • Game Center Help!

    I can't log into my Game Center account.
    I opened Game Center one day to see that I had been logged out. I didn't think much of this and just went ahead and hit the "Sign In" button, but when I did, this message came up:
    "This Apple ID has not yet been used in Game Center. Tap Continue to set up your account."
    I was quite confused when I saw this, seeing as how I had used my Game Center account for several months. I've tried googling the problem and haven't found any solutions. I've tried quitting Game Center and all supported games and relogging but it hasn't done much.
    I've also made a different account and tried logging in with it, and it worked. I tried logging back into my original account and I still have the same problem. I don't want to go ahead and recreate the Game Center account because I have a lot of games linked with it, not to mention all my friends.
    I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this problem. The only slightly helpful post I've seen tells me to make an account in sandbox mode, logout and try logging in again via a Game Center supported game, but I can't figure out how to make a sandbox account. Any comments/help would be greatly appreciated.

    Ok thax alot i will try it

  • Game Center - no add friend button and unknown notifications

    On my iPhone 4 when I click into game center I dont think it is acting as it should? There are a few things wrong I think?
    - In the friends tab it just says "No Friends" and has no button anywhere for me to add friends.
    - There are only three tabs down the bottom 'Me', 'Friends' and 'Games' - shouldnt there be an extra one?
    - Randomly sometimes when I enter game center then exit again a notification show on game center in my home screen and when I click on game center to find the notification it is no where to be found but the little red "1" still stays over game center in my home screen and I can't get rid of it?
    Someone please help, I am very confused!!!
    THANKS HEAPS

    Enable Game Center under General>Restricions>Game Center. There are two toggles, "Multiplayer Games" and "Adding Friends". Turning on the latter toggle will enable you to add friends to your account.
    Alternatively, you can disable restrictions completely.

  • Game Center Requests/Contacts Issue

    I am new to a few things here, so its a little confusing and I'm not sure under which category my question falls.  Many, I guess:
    For one, I only recently began using a Windows computer for the first time in a decade or so, because my Macbook broke and the cost of repair was astronomically high.  I used Windows years ago but that doesnt really count because it was pre-brain surgery and I basically cant do any of the things I was able to do back then.  So I had learned how to use a Mac afterward & that is what I've known. 
    Now its like I'm figuring out Windows for the 1st time AND.. to make matters worse, this pc I got is Weirdos 8.  Very strange stuff here.  After my MacBook broke, I took it in to the Apple Store & found out the high cost of getting it repaired so it sits languishing, probably forever.   And IDK but I think they priced these Windoze 8 machines low to try to lure - I mean - entice people into buying them?  Because I paid next to nothing & the thing works great.  Until now, that I said it works great.  Now its going to break. 
    Ok soooo.....today I noticed that there were suddenly a ton of notifications under my iPhone's game center app.   Checked it & I saw that ONE person -  one extremely annoying person, I might add! - had sent me over 80 game requests/challenges.  I began to go through and after about the first 500 million, I developed irretractible carpal tunnel syndrome and permanently lost the use of both arms.  So I decided to just go ahead & remove this person as a contact.  It was some sort of stranger from the web with whom I had literally *never* had any kind of communication at all other than to accept her friend request.
    And the most sinful part of what this woman did was lol she had (this is so awful.  I know I'm horrible...)  her profile picture was that of I guess her son or daughter.  Kind of unidentifiable.  I mean, if youre going to make your picture show your child, at least show your best looking kid.  Heh heh.  So anyway, I removed the offensive in 2 ways woman as a contact & hoped that would remove all 550,388,936 requests (give or take) but it did not.  I even closed the app and re-opened it but that didnt help. Please tell me I dont have to manually go thru & remove every single request...
    beat my high score of 100 points
    beat my high score of 110 points
    beat my high score of 120 points
    beat my high score of 130 points
    beat my high score of 140 points
    beat my kid with an ugly stick
    beat my high score of 150 points....
    But in all honesty, there were over 75 individual requests across at least 5 different games from her.  Not cool.  Is there a way to avoid this?  Like preferably BLOCK a person, causing all of their requests to go away?  Or just some more simple way to do it?

    Try to do this:
    1. Open Terminal (in Applications>Utilities)
    2. Paste the following command:
    sudo -b "/Applications/Textedit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit"
         - Enter password
         - TextEdit should open
    3. Press CMD+O > Then select "On My Mac" in the upper left corner
    4. Press CMD+SHIFT+G and type: /etc/hosts
         - Open file
    5. Clear all the content and leave only (if there is more content, copy it to another file):
    ### Host Database## localhost is used to configure the loopback interface# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.##127.0.0.1       localhost255.255.255.255 broadcasthost::1             localhostfe80::1%lo0     localhost
    6. Save file
    7. Open Game Center. Log in should work now.
    8. If there was any extra content in the hosts file, paste it back.

  • Apps and Game center

    Hi I really need help and i'm kind of new to this site so sorry if i mess some stuff up. So anyway, i used to have an ipod touch 2.5 version and i made a game center account and got many apps. However just in december I bought a new ipod touch 5th generation from apple.ca and i assumed everything from my previous ipod would be on my new ipod. So i signed into my apple id and my game center account and got all my previous games. When i checked my game center account it had all my scores, and achievements from my first ipod. So i went onto the app ( for example frogbert by donut games) expecting to have all achievements and my high scores; on the home page of the game it has all my high scores and achievements however when i start playing the game it says i am on level one and my high score is zero! I am very confused and very frusturated by this so if someone could please please please answer me if this has happened to you or if you know what i should do or how to fix it. Thank you and sorry if it was kind of confusing

    You need to restore from an iTunes backup with all the apps in the iTunes library.
    You can do that on any computer with iTunes if you still have the old iPod.
    Following these instructions but you do not have to restore the old iPod like the article says. Inseat, restore the new iPod.

  • Game center? related to purchased apps?

    I've had my iphone for 2 weeks and am trying to learn about it. I have saved the link for the user's manual and am reading posts here as questions come up. I just purchased my first app. I had downloaded a few free apps and just bought angry birds. I opened it and it asks me if I want to use my apple ID or create a new one. I have a few questions related to this:
    I obviously have an apple id. Do I sign in with my apple id and password to play the game? Is that dangerous, in giving the game website my id and password? Since it would allow someone to purchase things from itunes, it seems to be something I would want to protect and I don't know who this info goes to when I log into the new purchased app. I did log in to itunes to buy it and download it. this is to play the game. I hit cancel the first time and it let me play the game. tonight, when I do the same thing, a window opens asking me to sign into the game center and wants my apple id.
    Is the game center something that becomes automatic when you purchase an app, vs the free apps? I kept hitting cancel and eventually, it lets me play the game. so I am confused on what it is for.
    thanks for your help.

  • My Initials for Game Center are displaying as DC when they should be NC how do I change them ?

    My Initials for Game Center are displaying as DC when they should be NC how do I change them ? This makes it confusing for people to add me and is an annoyance please help.

    That's because you scanned them as B/W photos and iPhoto 08 doesn't support the grayscale color profile.  You can either rescan them as color photos or export them as originals out of iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and applhy this Automator application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB Profile, on them and then remimport into iPhoto. You can download it from  Toad's Cellar .  Be sure to read the warning on the website about not applying it on your only copies.
