Game Center keeps crashing our games. How do we uninstall and reinstall "Game Center" on iPad2

Hi there, we use an iPad2 running iOS version 4.3.3 (8J2 - whatever that means), and we keep running into a persistent problem which is that games keep crashing after a few minutes. I am fairly certain this is somehow connected to how they interact with Game Center because we will get regular crashes every 5 minutes or so, except when, for some reason, the game warns us that it can't connect with Game Center. Then the game will run uninterrupted until the battery is flat!
This problem used only to be with a game called "Hay Day" but now it's starting to occur with other games (angry birds is the latest victim!). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game itself, but this never makes a difference. I thought if I could somehow strip out Game Center and reinstall it, it might solve my problem.
I am hoping that someone has a solution. A friend recommended that I re-install iOS, but I have learned that you can on;y install iOS 6 now. I have not found one single person (including in these discussion fora!) who reports a good experience from transferring an iPad2 to iOS 6, and I understand that you can't undo it once you have transferred over.
Any suggestions - or have we just got a "bad apple"?
Cheers,
TF

Thanks CK. I gave it a try but it didn't solve the problem (the one good thing about our issue is that it's regular, so the solutions are testable!).
It occurred to me that udating to the new iOS was the answer (how I wish we'd upgraded to iOS 5 when it was an option!!) - so we might just have to put up with this problem until Apple fixes iOS6 (the list of reported problems that it causes the iPad2 is huge, and the 6.0.1 patch, by all accounts, doesn't really address any of them!).
Cheers,
Jason

    You can just drag the file to the trash. If you want you can remove  the pdf plug-in from the internet-plug in folder, but that should not be necessary to correct your problem.

  • How do I uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS 4?

    How do I go about uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop CS 4 from my original CS 4 disc?

    If you are on a PC then you can uninstall one of two ways
    1) add / remove programs
    Go to Start --> control panel , now change the view to large icons, now near the top you should see "add / remove programs selct it
    in the list find Adobe Photoshop cc and click change/remove. this should start the setup program and give you options to remove it from the system.
    2) folders
    firstly find Photoshop on your desktop right click and select properties, in the window select "find target". This will open a window showing you the location where photoshop is installed. within this folder find "uninstall.exe" this will start the same process and you should be able to follow the steps to remove.

  • How do I uninstall and reinstall the trial?

    I've downloaded PS CC and Bridge. It decided where to install itself, C:\Progam files. I can't work with anything with it there. I need to uninstall and reinstall without haveing to go through the long download wait. How do I do this?

    It decided where to install itself, C:\Progam files.
    On a Mac, and I have no reason to believe it being different on Windows, there is a moment in the procedure that lets you decide where to install it. Default is the standard application folder so if you missed this option for choice it will be installed there.
    I can't work with anything with it there. I need to uninstall and reinstall without haveing to go through the long download wait.
    Maybe the Windows guys will have a better idea but if you decide to use another drive to me the safest option would be an official uninstall and download the lot again. I don't know how it works on the PC but there are a lot of different components installed to various locations, moving the application folder to another folder is one thing, to another drive is maybe one step to far for consistent correct behavior of these pretty complicated applications.

  • How do i uninstall and reinstall software that keeps crashing upon opening?

    big problems with NEAT software. no answer at company. aint no apple.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • My computer has been invaded by something called findr and it keeps taking over firefox. I've uninstalled and reinstall firefox.

    Findr, whatever that is, keeps changing my default homepage to findr. It defaults my search engine to findr. I change it back to what it was and within a day or two it goes back.
    The findr page says it is not encrypted and therefore my internet usage is open to anyone.
    I've uninstalled firefox and reinstalled and it reverted back to findr the next day.

    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • How do I uninstall and reinstall all of iMovie 10.0? When launched the screen is only a blank gray window.

    I was in the process of editing a video and the screen when to random lines.  After a restart, the computer is fine, but iMovie won't start up anymore.  When iMovie is launched there is only a blank grey window that is shown.  The menus are still accessable from the top of the screen, but the window never changes.  I deleted iMovie and reinstalled it from the App Store, but when launched the same thing happens. What other items need to be deleted and reinstalled? Has anyone else had a similar issue?

    I have a MacBook Air with an Intel HD 3000 graphics card.  To clarify, I was able to install and use iMovie 10.0.  Something happened while I was working in the program and iMovie crashed.  Now when I launch iMovie I only get a grey window, that typically would have shown the library of projects and preview screen.
    In old school Mac, there were preference files that could be corrupt and might need to be deleted.  But, I'm unfamiliar with all the extra files that have been installed when iMovie was installed.

  • TS3694 how to completely uninstall and reinstall itunes

    my itunes system told me to reinstall irunes i uninstalled it and now while reinstalling itunes, it comes up with (cant install GEAR drive).  How do i solve this problem

    Oke first, you are installing iTunes as an Administrator ??
    Else
    have a look here:
    http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1529
    Quote from that site:
    The driver installer on our website should create a log file called DIFxInstallLog.txt in the x86 or x64 dirs in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\9727E41D-AD6A-47cd-B9BC-CF630B6013FD\ on XP and C:\Users\All Users\9727E41D-AD6A-47cd-B9BC-CF630B6013FD\ on Windows 7.
    This log file may indicate when the driver installation is failing and why.

  • How do I uninstall and reinstall safari 5.1.2? 2011 MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.2

    I seem to have been hijacked by ad tracker crap. Safari is acting quite strange; i.e., there seems to be a lot of certificate rejections and very often a particular bookmark will show up as "access denied". On occasion when opened, it will go somewhere completely off the wall. Many times "facebook.com" shows up in the address, but that's not where it has gone. I realize I'm doing a pretty bad job of describing all this, but I'm at my wit's end... My theory is that removing it all together and then reinstalling a fresh copy might solve these hijackings. Thanks, mkcos

    Well, then this is not the avenue to pursue? While those two were associated with earthlink, they were nonetheless regarded with suspicion as having something to do with ad tracker stuff. Unfortunately, all the refernces I found seemed to require more technical knowledge than my feeble mind can assimilate. What would happen if I did delete them, assuming that's even possible? At this point then, can I assume that the problem I'm having is not coming from Safari itself at all? Sorry to keep throwing the questions. Kevin

  • Having IDVD issues.  How do I uninstall and reinstall IDVD only?

    Hello
    I am trying burn a dvd, and I am having all kinds if idvd issues, possibly stemming from a cloning process I used after replacing my original hard drive on my Mac Book Pro, not exactly sure.
    Anyway, I would like to reinstall idvd only, but not sure how to do this. Also, do I need to uninstall it first? If so , how do I do that?
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Anneita

    If you are having iDVD issues, you really should post in one of the iDVD forums. It's where the iDVD users hang out at.
    To custom install an app, boot from your System DVD #1, the one that originally came w/your computer.
    Look for the *Bundled Software* folder. If iDVD is not there, then search the Application folder.
    Follow the onscreen instructions for custom installations.
