Gamecenter says I have a friend request but I don't

Hello - Gamecenter in my iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.3 shows a badge indicating that I have a pending request. When I load Gamecenter, it also says 1 pending friend request. However, when I load the "friends" section, there are no pending requests. This is only happening on my iPhone, even though the same account is on my iPad and MacBook. None of the other devices have this issue - only the iPhone.
Any suggestions on what could be wrong / how to fix would be appreciated!

Sorry for this long thing, but hopefully it helps.
Have you tried closing the application from the multitasking, then restarting your phone? This could solve the problem. Sometimes our apps just get exhausted and need to restart in the same way our phones need to.
Have you tried logging out and logging back into game center? This can reset game centers information, which should reset friends as well. This can be found in settings>game center
Have you verified your apple ID? Since you're on here I'd guess thats a yes but just in case you haven't go here: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Is your iOS up to date? sometimes servers get upgraded with the updates so older iOS versions might not be compatible in silly small ways (like Game Center not displaying friends).
The other issue could be related to an error my own phone was having. Basically I couldn't add friends (whether I was sending the request or receiving it) or play multiplayer on game center. In that case the issue is in the iPhone/iPad/iPod software itself, which is something we'd all expect (at least I would) when a company creates a new operating from scratch. In this case what's happening is your game center is responding to the iOS restrictions found in your settings menu (even though restrictions are disabled).
To fix this problem
go to settings>general>restrictions
Enable restrictions and choose a password you'll remember in 45 seconds
Scroll to the bottom where you see the section labeled "Game Center"
Now flip the switch on both Multiplayer Games and Adding Friends so both switches are green.
Scroll back to the top and disable restrictions
So let me know if you try any of that and let me know if any of it works.

HT203175 My iPod touch is off and I can't turn it on because when I try, it has the iTunes logo and a usb pointing to it...and when I connect it to my computer and try to open it to iTunes, it says I have to restore it, but I don't want to lose all my pic

My iPod touch is off and wont turn on because it has the itunes logo and a usb pointing to it, so when i looked it up online, it says i have to restore it but i don't want to because i don't want to lose all my pictures. What can I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My phone has no more storage but it says i have 5gb on icloud but i don't know how to use them.

iCloud storage doesn't affect the available storage on your device. It's for backing up your device and syncing your data, so you can recover the data if needed.
You probably need to import photos/videos to your computer or another destination (like a photo kiosk & burn CDs), and then delete them from your device. Or, delete some unused apps from your device.

You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

Apple ID says I have 5 computers authorised - but I don't!

My new iPad can't sync in full because my Apple ID says I have 5 computers authorised.
I don't have 5 computers! I checked and only one of my 3 PC's is authorised.
To be sure, I de-authorised two of the 3 PC's I have.
What can I do?
Thanks.
Rick

If it's saying you have reached 5... Then, for whatever reasons, that is the case...
But all is not lost...
If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

It say I have a Ethernet cable but I don't have one connected

I am trying to connect my Apple TV to the wifi but it is saying to switch to wifi disconnect the Ethernet cable from your Apple TV but I don't have a cable connected any help would be great thanks alan

Fill in all the spots - you have one or more photos places not filled - thypically this is behind a full page photo - go through the book and for each full page photo change the layout so you can see the page background - you will find one or more full page backgrounds with no photo hidden this way
Fix those and order
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

Says I have the current update but i don't!

I just tried to update my iPhone to the latest version and it says that I have the latest version 1.0.2 and there is no update available... any suggestions? Thanks!

This is almost certainly because you have a older version of iTunes. I don't think any iTunes < 7.4, the latest is 7.4.2.2. There is some information about this on <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://personafile.com/Apple-iPhone-8GB-P885909100178.htm.

HT201493 I can't sign in to find my friends , it says I have no Internet connection but I do , the app used to work , help please

I can't sign in to find my friends , it says I have no Internet connection but I do , the app used to work , help please

when you say there is an Internet connection have you used safari? Or does the phone just display a data connection (i.e. 3g/4g)? You could try a couple of things if it is the latter 1. turn off cellular data than turn it back on. 2. turn on airplane mode and turn it back off. I type these assuming you've tried resetting network connections.

My computer was stolen so I deauthorized all computers that had iTunes on them on 10/28/2011. I have a new computer and it was authorized for iTunes. When I checked my account it says I have 2 authorized computers, but this one should be the only one.

I don't want whoever stole my old computer to be able to use my iTunes account.

Get all that music back in itunes and sync again.

Im importing cds onto my itunes but they are coming up with no track names/artists etc, itunes is saying i have no internet connnection but im on my laptop and im online, can anyone help? ive never had this issues before? they are legit cds from HMV?

Im trying to import cds i got for xmas onto my itunes and they arecoming up with no artist/album cover or track names, when i click get track info it says i have not internet connection, but im on my windows laptop and can get on the internet, is there something i need to so in itunes tmake it rcognise the album details?

Hey there lollypops21,
It sounds like you are connected to the internet otherwise, but iTunes is giving you this error message when trying to get info from the Gracenote database to retrieve your album info. I had a couple of articles I wanted to recommend you try. First this one named:
iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1490
You can always enter in the album information manually with this article if needed:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
Customize song and CD info
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking the Info button and selecting the “Part of a compilation” checkbox.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track Number fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
iTunes retrieves CD information from the Gracenote media database. For more information, visit the Gracenote website.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I have the ICloud icon. When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account. How do I get an an Icloud account?

I have the ICloud icon on my PC - Windows 7 - and the program. When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account. How do I get an an Icloud account?

You can't create an iCloud account on your PC. You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher). After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

How do I install purchased apps on ipad2? It says I have purchased the apps but they are not installed.

I have just purchased an ipad2 and purchased 2 apps. This is my first ipad. The ipad says I have purchased these apps but they are not installed. I don't know how to install them. Also I can only see them if I go to either the app store or the game center and click on purchased. I would like them to show up on screen that shows when I open the ipad but maybe that only happens when they are installed?

Did you purchase them directly on the iPad or on your computer's iTunes ? If on your iPad in the App Store app then have you checked to see if they are on a different homescreen by swiping the homescreen to the left ? If they are on a different screen, and there are spaces on the first homescreen then you can move them :
Touch and hold any icon for a couple of seconds until the icons jiggle .
Arrange the icons by dragging them (don't drag too quickly). You can't leave gaps between icons on a page
to move them to a different screen drag them (not too quickly) and then hold them so that they are overhanging the edge of the screen - after a couple of seconds or so the display should change to the next/previous screen (depending on which edge you are holding it) and you can then place the icon.
Press the Home button to save your arrangement.
If you downloaded them on your computer then you can either connect your iPad to your computer and sync them across, or go into the App Store app on the iPad and re-download them via the Purchased tab (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519)
You can download a copy of the iPad manual from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

LG Lucid 3: How can I get rid of the text message indicator? It says I have a text message, but I do not.

I have a new LG Lucid 3 and the text message indicator says I have a new message, but I do not. Messaging is empty when I click on it. How can I get rid of the "1" indicator? I tried turning the phone on and off and that did not work.

Thanks for trying, Anzivina! You've done some strong troubleshooting. Although I do wish it had resolved this matter, I believe we still have options. You've indicated that you've done a factory reset. Can you walk me through the steps you took to get there? Also, after the factory reset, how long before this message indicator appeared again? Was it before or after you restored all your personal data?
