Gamecenter sync with multiple ios-devices

My grandparents have 3 ios-devices: 2 ipads and an iphone. They all use the same apple-id. Grandmother plays a game on her ipad and iphone that syncs with gamecenter. Grandfather has the game on his ipad but its 'empty' since he doesnt play.  The iphone keeps on asking to be synced with gamecenter.
My questions:
1. If we sync the iphone, with what game will it sync? The empty one on granddads ipad or the correct one on grandmas ipad?
2. Is it a solution to delete the game from grandpas ipad (and remove it from gamecenter)?
3. Since the iphone hasnt been synced for awhile, there is currently an old version of the game on the iphone. If i delete granddads game from his ipad/gamecenter, how do i know that the iphone will get the version of the ipad and not the other way around?

What is synched in Game Center depends on what the app developers have included. Some are just achievements, some sync game progress, some both among other things.
If they both primarily use one device, why don't you just create a separate Apple ID for Grandpa? They can still share apps rather than buying new one for him by doing this...
Assuming both Grandma and Grandpa have their own Apple IDs and Grandma's was used to purchase apps. Continue to use ONLY the one Apple ID to purchase apps so they can be shared.
Log into both devices in Settings > iTunes and App Stores using Grandma's Apple ID. This will allow all purchased apps to run on both devices.
For Facetime, iCloud, Game Center and Messages, let each of them log in using their own Apple ID. Those are located in...
Settings > Game Center
Settings > Facetime
Settings > Messages
Settings > iCloud

  • Screen ipad doesn't respond during video viewing home sharing with multiple iOS devices simultaneously

    A have a problem with the videos app and iTunes home sharing on multiple iOS devices.
    This is my setup. On my iMac 2006 with Snow Leopard I have:
    - 100+ dvd's ripped in my iTunes movie section
    - 600+ episodes ripped in iTunes TV-section in 35 TV-shows
    - 1 apple tv, 1 iPad 2, 1 iPad mini
    On an average evening my family is watching different tv-shows simultaneously on the apple tv, the ipad, an iphone, and an ipad mini.
    This is done through home sharing on the one iTunes library.
    All updated apps, software etc..
    What happens on the ipads, after viewing for more than 10 minutes, the user interface doesn't show up when tapping the screen. The touchscreen doesn't respond, only the home button works. Clicking the home button closes the app, but the sound of the video keeps on playing. Opening up the videos app again gives a black screen with sound still playing and still no button or UI.
    The only workaround which currently works is killing the videos app. Power off the ipad and power on again, reconnect to the shared library, wait until it has found all the content (1+ minutes) and startup the tv show again.
    All in all, a nasty way to pause your viewing or switching to another movie of tv episode, or even wanting to finish viewing.
    The problem has haunted me for a year now, patiently waiting and hoping software-updates would fix it. They didn't.
    A fix would obviously hugely improve my user experience, getting it on par with Apples usual quality of service.
    Anyone familiar with this problem? Apple: is it possible to fix it in an update?

    Same here for over a year now.
    You cant imagine how happy i am that im not the only one with this problem.
    many of frinds have the same setup as me (ipad 2, 27"imac, express, apple tv 2)
    No problem
    I had the problem on Snow Leopard, lion and now on mountain lion.
    I'am also starting to get a new problem - sometimes when waching a movie on iPad or ATV it just quits the movie and you have to start it again
    on the iPad most of the time it also shows the wrong cover art. I tried all the hints here, and i works for a day or two then its wrong again

  • Any reason why iTunes would not sync with my iOS device using USB cable?

    Hi there,
    what could be the reason if iTunes won't sync with my iOS 5 devices via USB? The devices are recognized in iTunes (I can see the devices there and all the content stored on these devices), but the sync does not work...
    BTW: I tried several different USB cables already...
    I am using Mac OS X Lion on a MacBook Pro Late 2011.
    Thanks

    I can't recommend any learning resources, especially since what you are going to be doing likely falls under the category of basic untutorialed coding.
    When I decided to take the plunge I had a project in hand that I had just created in AS2, and what I did was restart the project using AS3, tackling each coding element as it came up. One nice thing about AS3 is that it is much better with pointing out coding errors--while cryptic at times, you get better at interpretting them with time--and when you don't get any, chances are you are on the right track.  So you try something and if it flies, great, and if an error message pops up, you pursue solving the error.
    In most cases, the Flash help documents are a sufficient reference, but in other cases I would rely on Google.  Just as a for instance, you mention using key listeners... That would be something I would have serach Google using "AS3 key listener", and I'm willing to bet you'd find something to get you over the hump.  Sometimes it helps to add "tutorial" to the end of a search string... it can help weed out all the others that have psotings on forums that are offering problems rather than solutions.

  • Icloud Control Panel on windows with multiple outlook calendars,contacts syncing with multiple i-devices

    I have one windows vista PC with Microsoft outlook with two calendars and two contacts ( family and work in each case).   My wife syncs her ipad 2 via icloud and I am about to buy an iphone but as much as I have tried I cannot find out how to sync from one set of calendar and contacts (family to my wife's ipad) and separately the other calendar and contacts (work) to my iphone via icloud (or any other way efficiently) off the same PC.   Although I have found lots of these similar sorts of issues on the forum, to my surprise I have not found this exact issue and so I have not yet found the solution.   Any help appreciated!

    Hello desert_dweller5,
    It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account.  The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
    Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
    Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article: 
    Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
    Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
    To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

  • ITunes 11.0.4 crashes during sync of multiple iOS devices

    I am helping a coworker out with an issue he is having with his PC (Windows 7 64bit). He just recently updated to iTunes 11.0.4 and tried to sync an iPhone, iPod, and two iPads. At first iTunes would crash as soon as it would open, so I turned off the auto sync. Then I connected the device and during the sync (step 2 of 5) iTunes would crash. I went through and unchecked everything so that it wouldn't actually sync anything and it still crashed. I reinstalled iTunes straight from apple.com and still had the same problem. I will be looking at it again tomorrow and plan on completely removing iTunes and then reinstalling rather than the reinstall/repair accompanied with a restart of everything. Does anyone have any other ideas on what I could do?

  • IBooks PDF added on my Mac not syncing with my iOS devices.

    hi there
    I am running 10.9.1 on my MacBook pro, and iOS 7.0.4 on my iPhone 5s, and I have set iBooks to manage the books/etc.   If I create a new category on the Mac it appears very quickly on my iPhone but the PDF's never appear.
    What am I doing wrong??
    any help would be appreciated

    Hi!
    I had the same problem for weeks. Today I decided to solve this. After try a lot of stuff I got it working. Follow these steps:
    1) Sync your iPhone to iTunes using the cable;
    2) After sync is complete, on iTunes, click on your iPhone, and after in the tab Books;
    3) Un-select the option "Sync Books" (I don't know how it appears in english, since my iTunes is in portuguese). iTunes will inform that will delete all books from yout phone. Make sure you have all of them in you iBooks for Mac or another backup;
    4) Sync your iPhone to iTunes using the cable again;
    5) After sync is complete, on iTunes, click on your iPhone, and after in the tab Books
    6) Mark "Sync Books" again and select "All Books" option.
    7) Click the blue "OK" button on the top-right corner;
    8) Sync again. After that all your PDF books from iBooks for Mac will appear on you iPhone.
    Best regards,
    Marco

  • HT1386 Can i sync multipler iOS devices like iPad, iPhones on the same iTunes? Can each iOS device have different contents which are subsets of the iTunes complete library

    Can i sync multipler iOS devices like iPad, iPhones on the same iTunes? Can each iOS device have different contents which are subsets of the iTunes complete library

    You can share a library with as many devices as you want but they cannot have seperate subsets like you wish. They would all have access to all information in the library. You could "Manually" sync content to each device by doing the following:
    On Mac: iTunes > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
    On Pc: Edit > Preferences > Devices Tab > Put a check in the box next to sentence that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically > Then click ok.
    To manually sync data from iTunes to devices see article below:
     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351
    If you do not want all devices to have access to all the media from the main library, you would need to create a library for each device. See the article below for more info:
     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
    Hope this helps.

    Did you enable the iCloud Drive on your iPhone? 
    If you did that's the reason you can't sync between your Mac and devices.
    WARNING:  If you use iTunes to sync photos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac do not activate the iCloud Drive. Doing so will kill the capability of using iTunes to sync with your mobile device and disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices.

  • Sync mail on iOS devices and a PC with icloud

    Is it possible to sync mail on iOS devices and a PC with icloud such that when a mail is deleted on one device it is deleted on all devices?

    You should be able to use iCloud mail on your Mac, however you will have to enter the settings manually. Unfortunately you will not be able to use the other features of iCloud for which lion is required. (calendars, contacts etc)

  • Syncing with multiple computer on iOS 5

    Ok am I doing something wrong here or did I expect something amazing from Apple for no reason?  You know how if you try to upload something to your iPhone on a different computer you would have to erase your phone and set the other computer as a new library or whatever.  So with iOS5 I was under the assumption that they changed it so now you can backup to the cloud storage and sync with multiple computers, meaning you can upload music to your iPhone (mp3's on the computer itself, not iTunes purchases) without having to erase your phone.  So what's the deal here?  I just re-installed Windows 7, it's going to be a pain having to erase everything and re-upload everything all over again.

    The "deal" is the same as always. You can't expect something "amazing" from Microsoft as in not having to reinstall Windows on a regular basis. Why do you accept having to do that?
    When having to reinstall Windows which is a regular occurance with that swiss cheese for secuirty OS, you need to update your computer's backup which should include your iTunes library along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc. You need to de-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes before doing so followed by re-authorizing your computer and restoring your iTunes library from your computer's backup along with all other important data after doing so.

  • Please help - multiple IOS devices, Apple ID's and synching

    I have an iPhone and an iPad Mini that belong to me.  Two of my kids have iPod Touch and soon a third will have one.  So there are multiple iOS devices in the family, two of which are used only by me.  Up to this point I've been managing them on one laptop running one iTunes library.  I've made various playlists for the kids music, and I gave them each the specific games they wanted, and I put the games I wanted on my devices....certain games for the iPhone and larger, more involved games for the iPad Mini.  I don't put music on the iPad because I only use music on my iPhone.  So all 4 devices have a different selection of games, apps, and music on them.  I've purchased everything with one apple ID....mine, and set each device up with it. Only I know the password so if one of the kids wants something, they still have to bring their device to me so I can put the password in for that purchase.
    What I'd like to do is separate my kids apple ID's from mine.  This way, they can use their apple ID's to sign up for other services, have their own saved game data in the cloud, etc.  I'm running into situations where my son and I play the same game, but we keep overwriting each other's game progress because it's stored to my apple ID.  But I still want to be able to control their purchasing, so I figured I'd have to attach my credit card to their new ID's as well, but just not give them the password, so they still will have to come to me to punch in the password to download something.  But hopefully with this new setup, they'll have their own saved game progress that won't interfere with mine, even if we play some of the same games. 
    But how will this work if we synch them off my laptop?  I don't want to get into creating separate libraries or anything like that, and I'd still like to be able to download some apps using iTunes and put them on the devices manually if I need to. 
    What is your recommendation on how to handle this???  How will it work exactly?

    You can do anything you want with one iTunes, but:
    Devices names must be different.
    Don't sync anything under "Info" tab like Contacts Calendars etc. These info must be synced over iCloud. (Use a different Apple ID for each device)
    Use the Same Apple ID for iTunes and App Stores settings in all iOS devices.

  • How to transfer one itunes library to another itunes already synced with some other device?

    i have two laptops. both are authorized for use with my ios devices. one is authorized for use with my ipod nano 5th generation and the other one is authorized with my ipad3 and iphone 5. i am manually managing the itunes in my 2nd laptop in case of my iphone. now what i want is to transfer my ipod library from the 1st laptop to the 2nd laptops itunes and deauthorize the 1st laptop. is that possible? please help, as it is getting harder for me to manage two itunes in two different laptops.

    See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, particularly if you want to change the library the iOS devices sync with. If you already have all the media in both libraries but want to recover playlists, ratings and play counts from a device into the "wrong" library my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may be useful.

  • Multiple iOS devices on same apple id

    I have a an iPad and two iPhones on the same apple ID. Unfortunately iMessage and face time show I am taking with myself. Is there a way to separate the communication to sub accounts or by device?  I would like to keep control of the apple ids as a child is involved.
    Perhaps there is a recommended way of setting up multiple devices for a family, maybe a KB article?
    Thank you.
