Game Center Inviting Friends

Between an iPod Touch 4G and an iPhone 3GS runnning 4.1 - both have game Center and 2 of the same games (Blast4 and FleetMaster)
When we go into a game and click to Play Online, then chose a friend from Game Center and click on "Invite Friend", the friend gets a notification with Accept or Cancel, but when the other user clicks Accept nothing happens, and The Inviter's invite just says Waiting.... with the spinning logo.
Is this a game center problem or a specific game problem? Anyone have any ideas why?
Thanks in advance.
Helen

Having the same problem with Fruit Ninja...
Contacted their support.. but no answer yet. This has been going on for the past few days.
Weird thing as well
-When I send out an invite --> my recipient never even receives an invite.
-When I am sent an invite from some one else --> I click accept, and just stuck with a waiting for so-and-so to start the game, and while sitting next to the friend who sent me the invite, all his screen showed was "waiting" for me to enter the game...
So annoying... any one know of any fixes? I already restored my phone... reinstalled Fruit Ninja countless times with no change..

Hey every one, i hve a fix to the game center invite problem . So follow the steps:-
1- check that your push notifications are on in settings and friend invites are on in your game center account setting.
2-now install the latest version of fruit ninja game
3-open game center and sign in , then put it in background .
3-open fruit ninja directly goto new game=>multiplayer=>gamecenter
4-now you will see two options ( invite friend & play now at the top right corner)
5-hit the play now button, so the game center will find the uninvited game for you .
6- when the game starts and u r able to see ur uninvited friend name at the top right corner , after the game finishes , go directly to game center in the background and in your games section and go into fruit ninja in game list , here u will see the recently played option touch it, here u will see at the top of the list , a player name ( whom u played with ) touch the name and send him friend request immediately..

IPhone 4 can't send Game Center invites

At first I thought it was an issue limited to a particular company's game apps (perhaps a coding error or something) but I've started trying to play multiplayer games from a variety of developers and the same thing happens every time I try to initiate an online game through Game Centre: I select the multiplayer option, the Game Centre player invitation screen pops up briefly, and then disappears knocking me back to the pervious screen. This happens in Cribbage HD, Gin Rummy HD, Infinity Blade...every game I try to play the invitation screen immediately disappears. To compound this issue, my iPhone 4 cannot receive invitations. I've tried sending myself invitations from my girlfriend's iPad but it just says No Response about 5 seconds after I send the invite. If I sign into Game Centre on MY iPad and send an invite from my girlfriend's iPad it works no problem. For some reason that I cannot decipher, my iPhone is incapable of using Game Center. Any suggestions?
I'm running the most up to date iOS and all the apps are up to date. I've tried over 3G and 3 different wifi networks. I'm at a loss.

Me too! Have you already serviced it ? Plz. Let me know what's with your iphone , I have the same!

Downloaded IOS 7.1 and now can't access Game Center or friends list in the games I play on ipad. What is the fix?

I downloaded IOS 7.1 on my ipad. Now I can't open Game Center or access my friends lists in the games I play. My ipad is about 3 years old. What is the fix?

Swiping up from the bottom of the screen with four fingers did not bring up the app preview. A single press on the home button still brings me back to the home screen, but a double press of the home button does nothing following updating to 7.1 Given that, when I added a software home button as suggested by DIAVONEX, I found that all of the apps WERE still open! So thank you DIAVONEX, and you should be careful, bobseufert, as your information was inaccurate.( I did try turning it off and that didn't change anything. ) I don't really want a software home button on my screen, but I guess I will use it until either there is another update to resolve this glitch or someone else identifies a quirky setting that I inadvertently activated...

Game Center issue- Friends showing up with "Never Played"

I updated my iphone a week ago to 5.5.1. Since then, all my friends are listed under friends-recent. They show status text, but all of them say NEVER PLAYED. Although I know they are playing as I can see them ranked in individual games.
So it lost the ability to tell me what was the last game they played.
I have a iPhone4s

I have a Iphone 4 and a Ipod touch and it doesn't update what they recently played. This happens to you as well?

Friends on games center

How come i cant play anyone in the game center, my friends are on there, but there is no play player invite

If your trying to invite a player to join you in a multiplayer game,then you don't access it via directly accessing the Game Center application.To invite a player,open the game application that you want to invite someone in and then go to there game center options where you can invite them to join the game,but remember that sometimes your friends aren't always online and may not recieve your notification.

Game Center "Games" and "Friends Tabs loads Forever

Well i can enter Game Center but when i go to "Friends" tab or "Games" tab it just loads forever, if i try with challenges i see the "no challenge" legend some with the turns tab (no turns) since i dont own a turn game and have no challenge from other friends, but i cant see Friends and Games tab since they wont stop loading.
a specific problem with it is that i tried to play Clash of Clans after having deleted it (but not from game center) and the game takes it as a new one as it says im not connected to Game Center.

Well it didn't work, it still loads forever the "Games" and "Friends" tabs, but my brother came yesterday and try to help me, i tried logging out of game center but when i go to settings>game center and log out, when i go back to settings (top left button) then go back to Game Center it says im logged in (as if i had never logged out) so my brother tried to log on his Game Center account after i logged out but then just started to load forever his account and when i tried to open the game center program it would just white screen with the loading disk forever, after doing what you told me things went back as before (my account, i can open Game Center but Friends and Games tabs wont load and games will act as if i were not connected to Game Center).
Thanks for everything tho guys i hope i can solve this issue its driving me mad!.

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".

Game Center friend recommendations?

In Game Center, the "Friends" page does not show any recommendations, even though I just linked it to my Facebook account. I'd like to be able to use my contacts to find my friends on Game Center, but it seems you have to do that from the "Recommendations" page, which I can't access since it's not recommending anyone. Thoughts?
I'm not interested in spamming my friends with requests when I don't know which of them are currently using Game Center at all.

Hey April,
I found the following troubleshooting steps for when you're having difficulty signing in to Game Center:
Try the following:
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection.
Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website. Other things you should confirm while logged into appleid.apple.com:
Confirm that the email addresse(s) for your Apple ID has been verified.
Check for miss-types of the email address
Check the spelling of the email address
Check that all letters are lower case
Make sure that special characters are correct, e.g. no commas (,) where there is supposed to be full stops (.), etc.
Note You may experience issues if your email address is associated with more than one Apple ID. If you have multiple Apple IDs, log in to appleid.apple.com with each Apple ID and confirm that each email address you wish to use for FaceTime or Messages is associated with only a single Apple ID.
Make sure the date, time, and time zone are set correctly in Data & Time preferences, in System Preferences.Tip: Enable "Set date and time automatically" in Date & Time preferences to automatically keep this information accurate.
If third-party firewall or port filtering software is installed, it needs to be configured to allow connections toapple.com, verisign.com and verisign.net. A list of ports required for using FaceTime and Messages is in Using FaceTime and iMessage behind a firewall. Please consult this article for further help configuring firewalls and Internet security software.
If your /private/etc/hosts file has been modified, make sure that it is not interfering with communications toapple.com, verisign.com or verisign.net servers. Note: Some third-party software installers may modify the /private/etc/hosts file without alerting you. Instructions about how to check and resolve issues with a /private/etc/hosts file are in the "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows)" section of iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting.

How do I set up an email for face time and Game Center for my child's ipod

How do I set up an email account for my sons iPod so he can do face time and Game Center with friends?

I would create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. You have to do it in your mane if he is not yet 13.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then use that account for Settings>FaceTime and Gamecent
If yo want it can also be used for:
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive to allow him to Message
- Settings>iCloud to allow him to have his own calendar and contacts
Continue to use the common ID for Setting>iTunes and App Stores

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.

How to invite a friend to play games in Game Center

just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS4.1, I have 3 games in the game center. (Fieldrunners, Flight control, and World series of poker). My friend also has the same three games in her game center. We can see each other in the game center. But cannot invite each other to play a game together. Does anyone know why? Do these games not support for this function?
Thanks

Furthermore, Boot Camp only uses the dedicated GPU because of problems related to GPU switching, so this is not the problem. Anyway, you can check which GPU Windows is using > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/video-cards-faq#1TC=windows-7
Have you checked if there is any app open while you are playing games and they do not run as smooth as you want to?
