Game Center issue with Apple ID

My son suddenly cannot log in to Game Center. When he tries it tell him: "This Apple ID has not yet been used in Game Center. Tap Continue to set up your account." He has been using his Apple ID and Game Center account since Christmas 2011. He didn't log out but one of his games asked him if he wanted to log in and he tried and this happened, almost like his log in time expired
We tried different games, same thing happens.
We have tried turning it off and turning it back on.
He doesn't want to lose all of the things he has on Game Center so creating a new account isn't an option. I searched for answers and have come across several people having similiar issues since 2010 but there hasn't been a single answer from anyone.
If anyone has any ideas or experience with this and could help I would GREATLY appreciate it,
Thank you for you time!

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.

  • TWO Game center acount with one Apple ID

    Hello!
    I have a little problem with my iPod Touch 4. I somehow have two Game Center IDs with ONE Apple ID. It won't stay logged in to the ID I've used all the time and i have to log in twice until it logs in to my real ID. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I already updated my iOS to the newest, iOS 4.3.2 and I have the latest update of Game Center.
    Thanx in advance!!

    Hi,
    Unless you can find a way to delete the Game Center account you don't want, I can't think of any other way to solve your problem. 
    Hope this helps!

  • HT4314 Game Center issue

    I have a version of Game Center that doesn't have "requests" tab at bottom toolbar even though I've updated to latest iOS version. And it "won't allow me to play multilayer on (my) device." Any suggestions. Is it a setting I need to change somewhere? Help

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
    Along with troubleshooting by logging out and back into Game Center, as it recommends, the following "Additional Information" might prove helpful:
    If you are having difficulty logging in to Game Center or staying connected
    Verify that you are connected to the Internet.
    If you are unable to create or sign in to your Game Center account from within a game, try creating or signing in to your account using the Game Center app.
    Try signing out of your Game Center account, then sign back in. If you can't sign in to your Game Center account with an Apple ID, try resetting your password or using another email address. To manage your Apple ID account, go to My Apple ID.
    When using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that your Wi-Fi router is configured for Game Center.

  • I want to disable or remove Game center from my iphone. It's always pop up during i play hay day game. So i can not solve this problem. Any way i try to log in game center my several Apple id account but it does' not work. I am still stuck in log in page

    The Game Center app is pre installed and cannot be removed from the device.
    Best thing to do is move it to the last available screen.
    Hold down the Game Center app until all the apps jiggle then sliide the Game Center app to the right from one screen to the next. This requires a bit of finesse, but it's doable.
    Press the Home button one time to stop the apps from jiggling.
    For the Apple ID issue, try resetting.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then try your Apple ID and password for the Game Center app.

    I had this same error on an old .mac address I've been using for years even though I no longer have email access on it. I was getting rejected for iphone updates ... buggy, but it looks like it resolved itself since I am now able to update my iphone per usual. Hope you had the same weird, now over experience!

  • Sound issues with Apple TV show rentals/"choppy" sound quality

    So, about a week ago my macbook pro started having lots of issues: wifi connectivity, slow performance, sound issues, spotlight wasn't working. After going through the issues with apple support, they decided the best course of action was to erase the hard drive and do a reinstall. Since I have a recent backup this seemed like a good enough option. They were kind enough to send me a copy of the snow leopard disk to do the install since we couldn't get it to complete through the disk utility. Not sure why, since it says we are fully connected, it just never completed.
    Anyway, so now that you have the background here is the new issue. The macbook pro keeps spitting out the disk I'm trying to install from. Disk utility and using the 'Startup Disk' function from the apple menu doesn't read the disk.
    Can anyone suggest a solution to this vexing problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Jeremy.Laurin,
    have you tried agb76’s approach here?

  • Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out?  Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device.  Then restore it as a new device.  If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue.  They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19.  Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

  • What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500.

    What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500?

    I am shopping, with a focus on Samsung, and was told by a Samsung rep their TV's were not compadible with Apple TV. I found this difficult to believe so I wanted to pursue with persons knowledgeable with Apple TV.
    If I find that Samsung is not compadible I wanted to determine which lines, e.g. Sony, might be compadibile, as I wanted to use Apple TV.
    Thank yoyu

  • IPad air 2 not downloading or updating apps. Is this an issue with apple?

    I Just got the iPad Air 2 Wifi 2 weeks ago. I was able to only update a few apps which was very slow, then nothing all together. Can't download or update my apps. Keeps turning in a circle and not loading. Is this an issue with apple? This problem started with my iPad 2 before I upgraded thinking there might be little or no support for it by now. I cannot be going to iTunes every time I need to download an app. Doesn't make any sense.

    Thanks Brian. Did that already severally. Didn't resolve it. Had to had reset and reset settings before it started working. It's good now. Thanks once more.

  • 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.
