How can I disable Game Center in iOS6 if I don't want to go public?

Even with all notifications and banners, etc., turned ofgf for Game Center, some games still demand a SignIn/Out before allowing play. I don't want to compete with other users, and don't care how well they play either. There should be a general Opt-Out that works for us curmudgeons.

I just wanted to play Backgammon tonight. It looped through the signin pages ten times before I could. Forcing Game Center on me just insures that I won't every buy another game...

  • How can I disable Game Center from iPad

    2 problems:  I can't log into Game Center. It doesn't recognize my Apple ID or password (after resetting the password) . 
    I Want to stop Game Center from popping up every time I play a game.
    suggestions?

    Yes, you explained how to create a folder, but your explanation did not work for me. Perhaps 'Game Center' is not an application? Let me explain.
    I never use iPod, and now I have Game Center, which I don't use. After you posted your suggestion, I pressed 'Game Center', waited until all the applications wiggled, and then I dragged 'Game Center' to 'iPod'. No folder was created. What happened was that the iPod application decided to avoid the Game Center application and no matter how insistent I was, they did not merge or create a folder.
    I guess I just have to live with those applications -if they are called applications as I'm not sure of this since they don't behave as the majority of applications- Apple insists I exhibit in the iPad. I hope we will not gather one of the unwanted ones in every software update.
    Thanks again for your reply and your patience.

    Sync your old address book with the one on the iPod.  You may have to import them into an intermediate address book like Google contacts since that can be done by importing a file you should be able to export for your address book.  Without know your old address book that is all I can say.

  • HT4314 How do I disable game center's "welcome back" popup messages or disable game center entirely?

    Iphone 5, iOS 7.0.4
    Ok, this seems obvious but how do I get rid of this welcome back popup? Every time I open a game this redundant "welcome back!" message pops up taking up a good quarter of the screen and frequently causing me to die. I can't tell you how many times I've opened a game like Sonic the Hedgehog 2, only to die immediately because I can't see my character while he's covered by a big "welcome back" message. Of course, when that's the last life left and I end up having to restart the whole level, you can see how it might be way more frustrating than it's worth.
    So, I've excluded game center from the notification center stuff, I've set it to "no notifications" (which shouldn't matter since it's excluded) and still it pops up.
    I signed out of game center too because i'd rather enjoy my games than be frustrated and able to share the scores.  Now it just has a pop up at the beginning of every game asking me to sign in, which is just aggrivating in a different way, plus now I I don't have the ability to use the game center. I read here that once signed out there is a button to disable game center, but that doesn't seem to appear in iOS 7. Is there a way to disable it without jailbreaking my phone?
    Thanks!

    May not be Game Center but something in Solitaire...whcih Solitaire is this, there are so many?
    I have Real Solitaire, ver 2.5.1 and it has in the window when you win that you are not signed in to Game Center but never says anything else about Game Center.

  • How do I disable game center?!?!?

    Other threads seem to indicate that it's possible to disable game center by way of settings > general > restrictions but if that ever existed it's gone now.  Any thoughts?
    On that subect I have a simple basic solitaire game (Real Solitaire) that I'd like to play but I can't because the game center sign in pops up and I can't get past it.  The developer's web site is down...
    I do realize this is for help and not complaints so I will not comment on my feelings about being forced to deal witn something I will never, ever use

  • How do I disable Game Center in ios7?

    Hi there.  I know this question has recently been asked, but I can't seem to find a solution to our particular problem.  My 8-year daughter wanted to play Early Bird HD on my iPad and when she started the game, the ios7 game center login screen appeared, with no visible option to cancel out of it.  I refused to let her sign on to Game Center, because there's no reason for my 8-year old to be part of that community.  Has anyone out there encountered the same issue since downloading ios7 and does anyone know how to prevent that screen from appearing?  Without a way to disable it/cancel out of it, my kids can't play these games anymore. 
    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much in advance!

    fYou don't. Apple seems to consider Game Center participation mandatory and there is no way to disable it.
    The most you can do is use an ID that's not your real Apple ID. I use a secondary ID for my Game Center because I didn't like the privacy violation either. Pick a nick name, pick an e-mail. If you don't have an 'extra' one, sign up for a hotmail or something and use that.
    In the settings you can disable multiplayer games and invites, so that will help a bit.

  • How do I disable game center in macbook pro

    A couple of  apps I downloaded, a casino slot, want the game center to become involved.  I do not want to have anything to do with the game center.
    Other games e.g. solitaire card games do not cause the game center to pop up.  How do I disable this?

    Thanks, I tried that and it did not work.  It never showed up in the login items. 
    The strange thing is that went the game comes up the game center slash opens but you cannot
    enter anything into the boxes including 'cancel'.  There must be a bug somewhere.  I will cancel that game and get another and try it.

  • How do I disable Game Center prompts in iOS 8.1?

    Every time I go to open a game, Game centre loads up and it prompts me to sign up for an account.  I don't want one!  Any idea how to disable this?
    Thanks.

    Game Center stops asking after you've rejected the invitation about three times (per game).

  • Ios8 - how can I disable game centre

    Every time I play a game, that game centre wants me to log in.
    Even if I do (reluctantly!) log in, the miseriable piece of @#@# still pops up a bloody banner every time i start a game!
    I do NOT want to publish anything to game centre and I do NOT want apple to monitor my activities!
    So... How do I get rid of it?
    Jailbreak the phone and hack it?

  • How can I stop Game Center from opening every time I finish a game?

    I despise Game Center and don't want to use it.  Every time I finish a game of Real Solitaire, Game Center opens and bothers me about not logging in.  This is on an iPad 4/128gb.  I never had this problem until I got the new iPad.  Is there any help, or am I simply going to have to tolerate this unwelcome, unwanted intrusion?

    You can also use the settings in Image Capture to set which devices open/not open specific Applications.
    Open Image Capture from the Application folder and connect the camera or iphone. Once it is detected, you will be presented with an application opening list at the bottom left corner where you can select what happens when that device is connected including iPhoto, iTunes or none. Each device can be configured differently.
    You may also have to go into the FinePix settings and see if there is a setting in that Application to turn off it automatically loading every time the camera is connected.
    Hope this helps

  • How can I get a refund for a product I don't want as its not performing the way I want it?

    How can I get a refund for a Mac APp store product I purchased which I dont want?

    Apple views sales as final. Have you contacted the developer about the issue that you have with the app?
    When the emailed receipt arrives you can start a conversation with iTunes/Mac App Store Support about a refund via the Report link.
