Game Center Multiple Users

I have 2 iPads and 2 iPhones. They are all under under the same Apple ID but are used by different people in my household. I signed into Game Center on the first device and created a user profile. When is launch Game Center on the second device, it signs in using the the same profile I created on the first device and I don't see an option to add another profile (which was possible before iOS7). Did they change that? Is it possible to add multiple Game Center profiles under the same Apple ID? If so how?
I want to be able to create multile profiles so my family members can play each other.
Thanks.

You can't. Game Center is a system of leaderboards and achievements, not a data storage service.

Game Center multiple accounts

Hi,
i recently started a Clash of clans village on my iPod and i'd like to connect to it via my girlfriend's iPod. The thing is she played a lot of games already on her iPod but she never created a Game Center account. What happens if i log with my account on her game center ? Will her game progress be erased since she got no account i can log back in after im finished ? Should i create her an account before loggin in with mine ? If i create her an account will all her game progress be erased or will it bind her games to this new account ?
Thanks in advance for the replies !

It depends on the particular game. Some games store all data on the device and it's not linked to a GC identity, in which case no progress will be lost. Other games link all the data to the GC ID, especially ones that store the data on the game's servers. So, you'll need to check with the support folks for each game.

Game center multiple problems

Firstly I have three Idevices ipod 3g iphone 3gs and iphone 4

If I gain an achievement say in where's my water in my ipod and open open my game center in my other two phones this achievement is not seen. sometimes even entire games are not seen! for ex: I have Avatar of war dark lord on ipod but still if I open my gamecenter account from my phone it does not even recognise that I have several achievements in this game............. same with friends I added a friend in my college using my iphone but when I go to my gamecenter account on my pod it does not show his name (it actually shows 0 friends coz I haven't added any using my pod!). And I don't exactly enjoy repeating my achievements on all three devices
Another issue is in a few games I had achieved few achievement before setting up gamecenter account but now only achievements I have got after setting up the account are seen! Example in avatar of war dark lord all my achievements upto stage 5-3 are shown as to be achieved and the rest are shown as achieved but the funny thing is the in game achievements shows it all but not gamecenter! Any help would be appreciated! thanks

Game Center multiple devices

My husband has a game on the iPad under my Game Center account.
I have the same game on my phone.
How do I get my game on my iPhone to replace his on the iPad?
Once my game level is higher than his, will it automatically ask to load my game?

You can't. Game Center is a system of leaderboards and achievements, not a data storage service.

How To Play Game On Multiple User Screens?

My son has a game called Age of Mythology that we recently installed on my iMac. He has been playing it for a few days on his own user screen. Today my other son wanted to play it on his user screen, but he got a message that said:
Cannot create log file. Must make sure that you have full file rights on the directory you installed Age of Mythology into, and that you have available disc space.
So I went back to my first son's screen name, because I knew it had been working for him. I clicked on the icon and then Get Info. At the bottom of the window that popped up there is an area that says Ownership & Permissions. I goofed around with these settings a little. I had to click on a padlock and enter my name and password as the administrator and when I got through changing some of the settings it asked if I really wanted to do this because it couldn't be undone. I clicked yes (which maybe I shouldn't have done), and now the game only plays for my first son on his user screen. It won't even play on mine and I'm the administrator!
Is there a way to get this game to play on everyone's screen names so there won't be arguments later about who is using who's screen?
One more thing: I installed the game while on my screen and I installed it in Applications.
Thanks for any help...

To do this you need to log on to the screen where you have permissions. Then navigate in Finder to the Age of Mythology app cmd+click, choose get info. scroll down to read write permissions and instead of your son's name choose system. Close the get info window and log in to another user (i.e. your other son's and open up the game to play and it should then play. This works on all types of files (text, video, audio..).

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

Can't access "View Account" in Game Center on IPhone 4s?

(I have an IPhone 4s, version number 6.1.3.)
I wanted to go into the Game Center and change my username, but whenever I tap "View Account" it just loads a green screen and before I can even do anything, it just "saves", and I never get to chance to see my account. I've reset my phone and logged out of the Game Center multiple times, but no luck. Everytime I try to access this, it just gives me this screen and just "saves" in a second, even if I haven't tap anything. Please help!

alright here's the best shot i have.
-hold down your home and sleep buttons until your screen fades to black, and keep holding them. now the apple logo will show up and you can let go.
-go to itunes app and ensure you are logged in from there
-go back to the game center app, and go to whatever the first tab is on the bottom (achievements, friends, games etc) and scroll to the bottom of the tab
-click on your Apple ID, and hit View Account
that should work

Multiple users on game center not working

I am sharing games with my wife on an ipod touch...In the past games like plants vs zombies offers the ability to switch users in the app. Now with game center it seems like game center is supposed to take care of that... At least Angry Birds and Infinity Sword have no option to switch users. I set up two accounts in game center but all of my accomplishments show up on her account and vice versa, anyone know how to fix this?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Go to Settings>Game Center and sign out and sign back in
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Game Center mixes up scores of multiple users (apple IDs)

(New iPad, iOS6 - all apps are up to date)
My son and I both have our own Apple ID.
When we play games in Game Center, we use our OWN ACCOUNT.
Still we get each other's scores & achievements.
Example:
Subway Surfers:
I log on to GC using my credentials, play the game (one or more times).
The I log out of GC.
My son logs on to GC using his credentials.
Subway Surfer shows my score, multiplier, achievements, and upgrades.
He plays the game, logs out.
Then I log on to GC using my credentials.
The results of my son playing the game is showing in my game.
Since this is not only the case in Subway Surfers but also in a few other games, my guess it is a GC-problem more then in the specific app.
We even tried closing the app(s) & GC by double clicking the home button,
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it.
Double-click the Home button and try opening the app again.
But this did not solve the problem.

It's got nothing to do with this problem has it?

Multiple game center accounts for single appleid?

I have 2 iPhones and an iPad for family members. I use my Apple ID to manage them. How do I assign a game center account to two other family members different than the one I use to manage the devices? I'd like to play games against them but we can't all use the same game center ID.

We just had some Game Center issues. Here is how you can create multiple users on the same apple ID.
Go to Game Center.
If there is a username already visible, tap where the user name is and hit the "X" to the right of it.
Touch "create new account".
Go through the prompts.
If the account is for a minor, it will not ask for an email address. A child will use their nickname along with their password to login. BE SURE TO WRITE DOWN AND KEEP IN A SAFE PLACE. Apple's Game Center support cannot view minor accounts for some reason!
If the account is for an adult, they will need their own email address.
Finish going through prompts. Now you each have your own login and password.
Now each user can go to the game they want to play. They may be prompted to select which user is playing and login.
I am not sure why some of you would have the name change on all devices. It could be an automatic synching issue when connecting to iTunes or via iCloud. Check your iTunes preferences.
Hope this will help some of you.
Also, although you each created your own username and password, even with different email addresses for login purposes, apps will still be purchased under the original iTunes account. If a user wants to make a purchase on their own individual devices, they will be required to enter the password for the iTunes account, not the password for their Game Center account.

HT4314 Multiple game center accounts with on Apple ID

We have 3 i touches at our house. My son went to add a picture to his Game Center account, and now can't get into his account, because it asks for the ID and so on. Using the Apple ID, it defaults to my game center account, and since it only asks for the Apple ID, not the Game Center Name, how can I differientiate between the three?

Surely we don't have to create new Apple ID's for children?? Also, if we can no longer have multiple user names on our Game Center accounts, as we have done for years, we had 3 users, myself and my 2 children. How can we transfer their exsisting achievements etc linked to their own user name over to a new iTunes account? I know I don't want them having their own account, this is not very family friendly at all!! Please fix this, as I know there are a lot of people complaining and some have spent quite a bit of money on their childrens user name and now they can no longer access...

Can I have multiple Game Center accounts with one Apple ID?

My wife and I use the same Apple ID but want to have individual game enter accounts. Is this possible? Or does my wife need to set up her own Apple ID? Any one got any ideas?

After 2 hours worth of searching with no answer, I decided to run a test and it worked. This is what I did to have multiple Game Center IDs on iOS7. (People responding may have over looked this detail because they assumed it was obvious, but it wasn't)
Answer: you MUST have multiple Apple ID accounts, however, you use the main one to log in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE.
1. I deleted the Alternate Email Address associated with my account
2. I created an entire new Apple ID with this email address
3. I login in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE with my original Apple ID (credit card on file)
4. I login to Game Center, iCloud, etc... with my kid's NEW Apple ID
So purchasing still goes under our shared account and game center, iCloud, etc... go under my kid's Apple ID.

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.
