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 - HELP!  I have multiple ID's with the same account

    About a year or so ago I was syncing my iPad2, or updating the iOS...I can't remember...but for some reason the iPad forced me to create a new game center ID.  I now have two game center ID's (each with different friends, different profile pictures, etc.) under the same apple ID.  I have seen quite a few remarks that state it cannot happen, but rest assured it has happened to me.  Every now and then for some odd reason Game Center will log me in as the ID I originally used.  But for the most part it uses the one that I was forced to create a year ago.  I have no control over this.  And the iPad acknowledges this because when I have tried to open some apps it has told me "Game Center ID was changed..." blah blah blah and I have lost all my saved data on some games, including IAP's which has me so furious if this is not fixed I will never put a single penny of mine into any Apple product ever again.
    Lately (since iOS 7.0.4 was released) I am having major problems with my apps crashing.  They lag, they freeze, they crash.  CONSTANTLY.  I think the fact that I have multiple game center ID's is somehow causing some sort of conflict, since I believe I ruled everything else out.
    Just for the record:
    1.  I have power-cycled my ipad (this solves the problem for about a day).
    2.  I have closed all apps running in the background.
    3.  I have reset my ipad (this solves the problem for about a day).
    4.  I have tried installing new apps to see if it resets how it accessess apps (I read this may solve crashing issues).
    5.  I have turned off my VPN, turned it back on, etc...
    6.  I have renewed my lease.
    7.  I have reset my internet (it's not the internet because all my other devices work just fine but I figured I'd try it anyway).
    8.  I am considering the possibility that the iPad2 is just dying, or going defective, for whatever reason (worn out I guess).  If that's the case I sure won't ever be buying another one.
    So, all I would like to know at this point is: how can I delete one of these game center ID's?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, your ID is essentially your account. You can have email aliases and you can have multiple accounts, but I don't think that's what you are asking.

  • Game center help needed

    I set up an account on Game Center but then when I went to login I got a message saying I had to create a profile, but I already have. How do I fix this?

    The fact that tapping on buttons in game center and not getting a positive response seems to imply a problem with app, not the device... by rebooting, do you mean turn it off and then turn it on, or reset everything?
    As a last resort, I would advise that you backup your IPad to a computer, save all you stuff, and reset the iPad, bringing it back to factory settings.
    Put all you stuff back on and then see if it works... if it doens't, It could be the update

  • Can I change the Game Center of my apps without deleting its data?

    I'll be making a new apple ID since I'm using the same with my sister. We all know that the game center helps to backup an app... So my apps is connected to the Apple ID my sister and I share and I want to connect it to the game center I will have when I finish making my own account. Is it possible to change them?

    Thx, and I agree.
    I'm selecting that "my question has been answered" here - because the answer is NO. It's apparently not possible. Which is frakkin' ridiculous, and I'd love to be proven wrong. But that's how it appears to be.
    What I ended up doing was first backing up all my data by downloading an app called DiskAid (free, Windows and OS X), and actually digging through my iPhone's folder system until I found the right Applications folder, and clicked through each subfolder until I found the Apps whose data I wanted to copy.
    For anyone who ever needs to do that, the location is:
    /user/Applications/[long string of numbers]/Documents
    I was able to back up my apps on my home computer. So I still am not able to sync up any part of my phone at my work computer, without risking deleting these files. Basically I've minimized the possible damage by making backups.
    Whatev. I'll live. : ) Beautiful phone. Just so irritating.

  • 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.
    Cheers,

  • 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.

  • My Game Center won't work on my iPod touch 2nd Gen. It let me sign up but it won't load any of my games and won't let me play with my friends. I don't know why? Any help?

    My ipod touch 2nd Gen let me sign up to game center but it won't load any of my games and won't let me play with my friend. I don't know if it's like this because it is old and slow, or what. Please help me figure this out. Thank You.

    Try:
    - Sign out of Game Center and sign back in
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • HT4759 Game Center games iCloud help

    I have my games in Game Center but don't know how to download it from there and I have a new IPad so tried downloading through iCloud but can't seem to be able to get into it help please

    Hey there Sanchezmoya!
    I have a couple of articles here that may help you with this question. If you need to re-download the actual apps for the games you are wishing to play, you can find those in the past purchases of your Apple ID:
    Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you have a backup you can restore from (if you had an iPad previously), then you can see this article for information on how to restore from your previous backup and access your game saves:

  • Can't remember game center email... HELP!

         My little brother has two game center accounts and accidentally signed out of one without looking at which email he had used.  We have tried every email possible and no luck finding the account he had used.  If you know anything about how to find out which email corresponds to your game center account without being logged in, help would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Game center break down ... help needed!

    I just cannot get my game center to work, therefore my games won't save.
    eg, The Sims freeplay tells me I'm not signed in to game center so I open up GC app. I see the "Me" screen, with me on it!
    I tap on games and nothing will load. I tap on "friends" and nothing will load. And once I tap on friends I cannot get off the blank
    screen without shutting the app down.
    I've been in settings > game center > my profile name ... all looks ok here until I try and close the profile box down by tapping
    "cancel" or "done" ~ it won't go! Again I have to shut down the settings app completely.
    I'm finding this infuriating now. I've tried setting the date back & re-booting the ipad ~ still the same
    This all started happening AFTER the last update .... fed up.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    The fact that tapping on buttons in game center and not getting a positive response seems to imply a problem with app, not the device... by rebooting, do you mean turn it off and then turn it on, or reset everything?
    As a last resort, I would advise that you backup your IPad to a computer, save all you stuff, and reset the iPad, bringing it back to factory settings.

  • Game center cannot invite friends...please help

    As the title says...myself and lot of friends cannot invite each other to play games...the wheel just spins and spins till you just have to cancel the invite...all notifications are on for inviting friends and games...
    No-one seems to know the answer, hope someone here does
    Thanks

    1. Make sure notifications is on for game center, otherwise thy won't get invites.
    2. Make sure neither one of you has a bad connection.
    3. Make sure you and your friend are both on at the same time and you guys are not sending invites at the same time.
    4. Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your screen.
    These are some solutions that helped me, hope they work for you too.

  • HT4314 Game Center and Apple ID issues...help!

    Hello.  My son has 'lost' his Dragonvale game and is completely distraught.  I have three kids that all have their own game center accounts, but I
    don't know how to get back into his.  My apply id goes to one of the other kids accounts.  I know his gamecenter nickname and gamecenter password, but I
    don't know how to access with this info.  I know his game progress is still out there because he is 'friends' with the other kids and they can see his game.
    How can I get him signed back in?
    Thanks for your help!

    HI Friend,
    Game Center shares some information of your game, like the scores. But I believe Game Center cannot save the game progress. If the Dragonvale app has been deleted before, all game progress has gone.

  • Game Center issues. Please help!

    I recently changed my Apple ID email to my gmail one because my other one got hacked. After switching it over everything ran smoothly except for my Game Center profile which would work occasionally, but now every time I try to sign out and sign back in my old Apple ID account keeps reappearing and I don't know why. Have shut down my iPad numerous times, but nothing has been working. Please help!

  • HT201304 How do you set up multiple game center profiles on a single itunes account? Example, my daughter is too young for her own account but wants games on her ipod touch with her own profile. Any help would be great.

    How does one set up more than one game center profile on a single itunes account? For example, my daughter is too young for her own itunes account but would like her own Game Center profile to except invites and play games with her friends. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
