Gamecenter account disappeared

When family members got new devices and we all got family share, I switched my old apple id (and gamecenter id) to a new id (literally just changed the user name, I even left the password the same). My family then assigned the old apple id (and gamecenter id) to a different device (ipad 2). Somehow the old id that we thought we had successfully moved to another device a month ago began to overwrite things like my game center account and my Icloud account on my device. What Happened?!? How can I get my game center back?!?

Hi Peter!
It sounds like she may have changed the Short Name of her Home folder.
If that is the case, the informatin in one or more of the articles linked to below, should be helpful.

How do I change the email address for a gamecenter account

My child has been using a gamecenter account linked to my main apple id.
I am trying to set up family sharing and have created a new (under age 13) account for him, [email protected]
I would like to give him the previous gamecenter account and create a new one for myself.

Hello posnera,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want your gamecenter account information on the new under 13 Apple ID. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Multiple gamecenter accounts on one apple id

Before IOS 7 I was able to have multiple gamecenter accounts under one appleID. One for my phone and anohter for my son on his ipad. I have not figured out how to get his gamecenter account up and running again without settign up a new apple id, which correspondingly means I have to reinstall/buy all the apps again.
Help.....

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.
^ ^ ^ ^ This is the simple straight forward answer I was looking for ^ ^ ^ ^

A while back I made a gamecenter account that was not associated with an Apple ID, it was with my email, now my gamecenter account IS my Apple ID. I want to delete it and make a new one, but i can't figure out how. Help!

Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID). That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

ITunes Account Disappeared Within Last Several Hours

Itunes account with AOL handle & AOL password configuration... worked fine for years until attempted to access the iTunes store this evening from home Mac. (Have another authorized machine at work) ID not recognized. Account 'disappeared' from iTunes interface on home Mac. AOL account still working
System problems at iTunes? Was I hacked? If someone somehow got my password, could they 'eliminate'/rename account with $ still in it?

You can only use the code once to download it into iTunes. After the first time, you will no longer need the code to watch the movies. Just go to iTunes.
If you were never able to use the code. Then either the code is defective or someone else used the code before you.

HT204053 Is it possible to delete a GameCenter account?

I have two gamecenter accounts, and I want to have my Apple ID email in the GameCenter account that has all my points and achievements. Unfortunately my iCloud automatically made me an unwanted GameCenter account. I wanted to add my Apple ID to the wanted GameCenter account but it wouldn't let me add it because "there is already an account with this Apple ID." Is there a way to delete the unwanted gamecenter account so I can add the Apple ID info in the wanted GameCenter account?

Yes, you can use the SDK to remove relationships. Use the EnterpriseManagementRelationshipObject class. You can use the EnterpriseManagementGroup.EntityObjects.GetRelationshipObject* methods to retrieve collections of relationships or individual relationships.
Then you can use an IncrementalDiscoveryData object to remove the relationship objects.
Another method is to use an EnterpriseManagementObjectProjection to remove relationships between objects.
Here's a blog post with the basics:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2010/10/04/using-the-sdk-to-create-and-edit-objects-and-relationships-using-type-projections.aspx
Removing/Adding activities programatically is not as straight-forward as it might seem. Each activity has a "SequenceId" property. Activities MUST remain in sequence or the workflows will give you unexpected results. For instance, if you delete
an activity, for each activity that follows you must decrement its sequence id property. Similarly, if you add an activity, you must make sure that it's sequence ID falls in the proper order with the other activities (incrementing other activities as needed).
As a side note, BOVI Remy, the SDK is the primary entry point to the framework of Service Manager. The powershell cmdlets lay on top of the SDK. In other words, the cmdlets were created with the SDK. The cmdlets provide an abstraction layer to
make many SDK calls simpler. Basically, anything you can do with Powershell cmdlets, you can do with the SDK. Plus, there's even more that the SDK can do that you can't do with the Powershell cmdlets (currently). :)

My mail account disappeared!

my Mail Account disappeared and I had to add the account again. When I did this there was no Junk Box or a Trash box showing in the list of Mailboxes. His do I get these back/to show again?

The Mail app is still there. One of my accounts simply doesn't work. The same account works fine on my desktop computer (the one IPhone is synced with) but it won't download mail on my IPhone. When I try to send a test message from IPhone to that account I get an error message and it won't receive test message sent from my desktop. The tests from my desktop come in fine to the desktop but not the IPhone.
I have reset the IPhone and tried re-configuring the Mail account. No luck.

User accounts disappearing

We have laptops running 10.4 that have a issues with accounts disappearing.
We have the users login via AD plugin. When the user goes to System Preferences and clicks accounts it loads a blank screen. We have tried unbinding them from the AD and logging in with local admin and it still will not show up. We have to do a reinstall. This doesn't happen to all the laptops and it doesn't happen all the time and it doesn't seem to be user specific. Any suggestions.

Which version of Server are you running?
For example, About the Mac OS X Server 10.4.2 Update mentions some related issues:
• Addresses an issue in which Active Directory users who are set as computer administrators may not get admin access to a computer.
• Addresses an issue in which newly-created accounts may not be able to authenticate or appear in user lists.
There are lots of articles dealing with Active Directory and 10.4. If you use the "Advanced Search" above you can narrow things down.

All email accounts disappeared

I have a bunch of email accounts on my Mac Mail. I had just sent off one, looked away, and all of a sudden all of my accounts disappeared! I kept looking for a way to open them - but nothing. And then I tried to reboot. As I was closing it down I got a "Panic Report" (see below) - and I TRULY was panicking! There's a lot more- but can anyone figure out what this is about? Did I get a virus?
I did disk utility opening from the disk, and it found no problems. It took me an hour to figure out how to get a genius appointment. (Only can be scheduled from the Apple Store App on my phone- whew!)
But I would love it if some Genius here can tell me what has happened?!!
I am so tired of being a Beta-tester for Mac's new updates. I SWEAR I will never update again until a YEAR has passed and all the problems have been worked out!
Thank you for any suggestions!

Copy and paste the panic report into a reply. The screen shot doesn't have enough information in it.

HT4314 Can someone elaborate on if w have multiple people using the same account. I cannot log in to my gamecenter account. How do I get into mine and not my brothers

My two brothers and I share a apple account (as is reccomended by apple). I updated m iPod touch to ios 5.1.1. When I came back I had been logged out of my gamecenter account. This is no problem but when I went to log in. I couldn't get into my account. I kept logging in to my brother gamecenter account. I have a lot of time invested into some of the games and I'd really like to play them but cant without a gamecenter account. If someone would help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tracy,
I don't suspect Malware yet, Id guess Disk corruption or failing Hard Drive with Files not found.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

HT2736 i had i tunescard of $25 but i never use it all because my account disappear but i still had money left. the code xxsekt32wgc6dwfh this was last sat.

i had itunes card of$25 but my account disappear but i still had money left.

If you've already redeemed the card onto your account then its amount should be on your account - a card can only be redeemed once.
To rent a film, find the film in the store and (if the film studio has made it available as a rental in your country) click on its Rent button. If you are beig prompted to review your account and enter credit card details then see if this post from mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without entering card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054 . If that doesn't work then you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them.
As long as you account's balance covers the rental cost then only that should be charged. How purchases are billed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

10.6.5 Mail - Crazy Account Disappearing Problems on 2 machines!

My mail on my MacPro started crashing yesterday. Mail accounts (POP and Apple) disappeared. I replaced the mail.plist file and all's well, for like 5 minutes. Then one account or two would disappear, or maybe all. Then I noticed the same thing was happening on my MacBookPro, delayed, mirroring what was happening on the tower. So, some research suggested also replacing the address.plists along with the mail.plist. Which I've done now multiple times on both machines with older time machine versions from like 10 days ago. Each time all appears well, accounts show up, mail comes in, then either crashes, or one or more accounts disappear from the left menu.
HELP! Is it a virus? A Bug in recent Mac software auto upgrades?
I have to say, because its happening on two separate machines simultaneously, this is the weirdest system problem I've had in 25 years of Mac use.

Sounds like something is interrupting the housekeeping tasks in Mail, and resulting in the loss, corruption, or other of the plist.
This can happen with a sudden loss of power, or running out of space on the boot volume, even if only temporary because some other app is using the disk space.
Start on the Mac Pro, and run Verify Disk to look for possible reasons for the crash you reported. The crash of Mail could result in the loss of the plist info.
Have you any Mail plugin or enhancement app for Mail on these Macs?

No, you cannot transfer Game Center data from one account to another.
