How can I move a game center username from one Apple ID to another?

I've tried to do this but it doesn't seem possible. For instance, trying to choose the username from another Apple ID you own correctly tells you that it's already in use. However, logging in with the Apple ID that has the username you want and trying to change the Apple ID tells me that the Apple ID I want to move the username to already has a username even though it doesn't because I'm at the stage of choosing a username in that other account. In this case I get the error message: "This change is not allowed because that Apple ID is already in use. You can try again using a different name or leave your Apple ID unchanged."
I read about one potential solution to this and that is changing the username you want in the Apple ID you no longer want associated with Game Centre, thereby releasing it and then quickly try to grab it again in the Apple ID you do want it on. I'm a bit nervous about trying this though because I do like the username enough that I'd rather stay with the existing Apple ID than risk losing it.
Has anyone tried doing this and had success? Maybe Apple blocks you from using a username for a period of time after it's been associated with an account, so I'm not sure I want to do this.
I wish Apple would just let us consolidate Apple ID/accounts and give us more control over our accounts (including the ability to close old/redundant Apple IDs)! It's a cause of endless frustration for so many people!!!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    An apple ID is an account. If your family require that their contacts, calendars etc are separate from each other, they all need their own Apple ID (account).
    iCloud is a different service from iTunes, you can all use different Apple IDs for your iCloud service, would use the same ID for iTunes, thereby being able to share your music, apps, books, TV shows and movies et cetera.

  • Move Game Center profile from one apple ID to another

    Hi,
    To access my game center profile (achievements and challenges etc...) I have to remember to login to an old appleID I don't use anymore for anything significant except game center.
    My other appleId (which is my iCloud account) has everything on it, all apple services and iTunes purhases etc.. has no game center profile on it.
    I would really really like to move it form the first apple ID to my iCloud one so I just sign into one appleID for everything.
    Any help on this would be much appreciated, promise!
    Many Thanks,
    Jonny

    This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
    You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk pr new Mac:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How can I move an e mail account from one family pack to another

    I have an e mail address (not main family pack e mail address) and I would like to move it to another family pack. Is this possible and if so how?
    Thanks

    Caroline12, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I believe that your question is about a Mobile Me family pack account. If that is true, I believe that the answer is no.
    But your probably should post your question in the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > MobileMe discussion area.

  • HT201303 How can i use the 10 dollar credit from one apple accont on another

    I have purchased an apple itunes 10 dollar card and it doesnt allow me to make a purchase with the credit instead of with my debit card

    Why do you say this?
    It actually charged your credit card?
    or did it simply ask to verify your billing info?
    Does your credit show in the itunes store?

  • How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

    How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

    Hi,
    If you would like to move your source models, target models and project contents from Work repository 1 to another work repository.
    I.e. Dev. server to Prod Server.
    1. Firstly, replicate the master repository connections i.e. with same naming conventions manually
    2. Go to Dev. Server work repository -> File Tab -> Click on Export work repository (save it in a folder)
    3. After exporting, you can view the xml files in the folders.
    4. Now, Open the Prod. server and make sure you already replicated mas. rep. details.
    5. Now, right click on model and import source model in synonym mode insert_update (select source model from the folder where your xml file located)
    6. Similarily, import again target then Project.
    Now, check. It should work.
    Thank you.

  • HT4314 Can you have multiply Game Center accounts on one apple id

    Can you have multiply Game Center accounts on your apple id

    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.

  • How do I move or copy a page from one pages doc to another?

    It never worked that way in Pages '09. You have to copy and paste the Thumbnails.
    That no longer works in Pages 5. Sounds like you are not copying and pasting content because that certainly works. Read what VikingOS wrote and do precisely what he said.

  • Multiple Game Center accounts from one Apple ID

    I have 2 Game Center accounts on my apple ID, which I set up on my IOS 5 devices. When I updated to IOS 6, I could no longer get onto one of my accounts. There is no place to log on using your nickname, only your apple ID. On my wife's account I can see myself there as a friend and I cannot seem to access the account though. I have read a few reviews about this but they seem a bit outdated now that IOS 6 is here. Can anyone help?
