How do I stop constant Game Center popups?

IPad 3, iOS 6. I am not interested in gaming community. I want to delete Game Center and stop all notifications. How can I remove my ID from GC? I logged out but that doesn't help. I turned off notifications, but that didn't help.

YAHOO! - so to speak. That was it. The pref pane in Guest looked normal. So I went back (in full boot) and deleted any pref file I could find for AddressBook. Now I look normal . . .
. . . and **** if that Sync w/ Yahoo! WAS CHECKED. I un-checked it.
While I was searching for stuff to delete, I also found this weird pref file 'com.apple.yahoo.synctool.plist' . . .
Can't find anything called a SYNCTOOL. Hopefully this will end the annoyance. Thank you very much for your insights and aid.

  • Why do I get constant Game Center notifications when I'm playing games? Seriously, if there isn't an easy way to turn off gamecenter, I'll be switching to a Microsoft phone at my next upgrade. I don't want this garbage popping up while I play my games.

What a worthless, obnoxious piece of junk. Apple, stop ignoring your customers!

    How is Apple ignoring their customers, exactly?  If you don't want Game Center, why did you sign into it?
    Sign out, launch an enabled game.  Game Center pops up, close it, launch the game again, it pops up, close it again.
    Now it doesn't pop up any longer.
    All as documented.

  • HT4314 How do you completely remove "Game Center" from an iPad?

    How do you completely remove “Game Center” from an iPad? Disabling Game Center is a joke because even after you disable it, it continues to reappear frequently prior to your game and “Demands” your attention before it allows you to play your game, this is very annoying. Also, if you are off the grid (e.g.: OCONUS) with no connectivity and the “Game Center” pops up you are blocked from playing your game(s) entirely with no recourse to include being blocked from doing the Game Center multiscreen dance of Canceling and finally Disabling Game Center (yup, they have a button for it on one of the last popup screens But that button to Disable it is completely ineffective because Game Center will still reappear in a day or so). Kindly note that I play single player games like solitaire that should not require the Game Center and some apple tech agree. Apple support techs also have not been helpful with my “Case” number. And no, under the General Settings even when you switch off both Game Center toggles it still overrides them et al. I bought this iPad because it looked like something fun to do and it is BUT I ignored the warnings that it would be a socially invasive toy with a forced unalterable protocol; next time should I listen more closely? Thanks for any understanding and assistance.

    beyond that your only recourse is to look for games that are not game center games and only use those. The ability to disable game center was removed with iOS6 I believe. All you can do is block multiplayer games and game invites. Everything else is unalterable.

  • Just got a new iPad. How do I move my Game Center games?  I keep getting another family member's account because we share our Apple ID.

    Hi. I just got a new iPad. How to I move my Game Center games from my old iPod?  My family uses one Apple ID, and I keep getting another
    Family member's Game Center on my iPad!

    Okay so I figured out the solution by reading other discussions. Basically you need to delete on your phone the icloud account and start up a new icloud account with a new email address. This is nice because you can still share apps without getting everyone elses things. The only thing that didn't get worked out was the notes...
    On your phone go to settings and then icloud, scroll down and delete the account. Then just make a new icloud under a new email.

    I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email.  I have since assigned two different emails.  How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

    By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
    If so, you can change it.
    1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
    2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
    3. Log in with a different ID.

    Hello djsevcik,
    Game Center uses your Apple ID as the Game Center ID.

    Did you set up a different ID just for Game Center?  If so, see if you can find it with this help.

  • How can I get past game center?

    Whenever I open a game, game center pops up asking me to log in.  If I type in my ID and password, it loads forever and does nothing.  If I press cancel, it does nothing.  If I press create new ID, it does nothing.  This happens every time I load up a game and I can't seem to find a way to play my games.
    I tried putting restrictions on and that does not fix the problem.  Opening up the game center app doesn't do anything either, because it never finishes loading.
    How can I turn off game center, or actually log in, so that I can play my games?

    I fixed it.  First backed it up, then I factory reset my iPod, then I restored it with the back up.  After that I was able to log into Game Center without any problems.

  • Today Game Center appeared when I was playing scrabble.I cannot disable or get out of the prompt page therefor I cannot play scrabble. How do I permanently remove Game Center pop ups?

    How do I remove Game Center pop ups?

    The sound is turned off. Only, some Apple apps like YouTube and Siri make sound when the sound is turned off. It is very embarrassing when this happens at work. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
    Turning off game center does not work. The games just prompt me to sign in when they are started.I have tried everything I can find online to stop this behavior. It is annoying and should not happen. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
    The alarm went off. There was a green thing that looked like a button but pressing it did nothing. There was a red button that said snooze. I did not want to snooze. I wanted to turn the alarm off. I slid the bar to unlock the phone and there were no running apps with a button to press. The alarm just keep running. I have not had this problem since it first occurred. The alarm now shuts off when I just unlock the phone. It may have happened because I had another alarm app running. The two may have interfered with each other. I would like to tell Apple about it.
    It also annoys me that the button that closes apps leaves the phone app running. If I press on a number at 6:00 AM to get information about who called me, the phone automatically dials the person back and my natural reaction is to press on the button to close the phone app but the phone keeps dialing this person at 6:00 AM. It is a bad design. I would like to tell Apple about it.
    Finally, I looked all over Apple's site to try to find someplace I could send them a polite message to let them know that I was not happy with these "features" but could not find anything. It is extremely frustrating to have issues with a product and not being able to tell the manufacturer about it. So, you grow up!.
    When trying to fix the Game Center issue, I saw a link someone posted to report issues with the IPad to Apple. The answer I am looking for is where is the link to report issues with the IPhone.

  • How can I permanent disable Game Center?!

    Okay, I'm on iOS 6, every time I play game (i.e. slots journey) the Game Center kept on pop up for me to log in. I cancel it and start play the game. How can I permanent DISABLE the Game Center?! This annoy me. I don't like when the Game Center automatically login. How in the world did it automatically login without it even ask for me to enter?! I want it OFF AND DISABLED PERMANENTLY!!!! :(

    I agree. I wish I could just remove this utterly useless app. I wouldn't have upgraded to ios6 I'd I knew that this update would be the most annoying thing to happen to iPhones since Angry Birds. One of the few things that helps me cope with the constant meltdown that is human society are my iPhone games. Now, I can't log into a single one without being nagged to log into Game Center. Guess what Apple? I'm not using your piece of crap app. Its bad enough that the App Store barely functions, but now you want to force users to use this crappy app that the vast majority of us don't use, don't want, and have no purpose for. If I wanted to have meaningless competitions with the boneheads who insist on calling themselves my "friends", I'd grab a measuring stick and drop my pants with them.
    Nagging users to death doesn't make them any more excited about a stupid, worthless app that was made for the sake of appearing "cutting edge".

    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.

  • How can I delete my Game Center account on my iPod?

    Hi, I want to make my device seem like its brand new, but my Game Center account is still there when I restore my iPod. How can I remove this account?

    Try going to Settings>Game Center>Account. Somewhere should be a logout "button". Then, after you've logged out, try restoring again.
    P.S.
    I'm just guessing. I'm not sure. I just say that because the iMessage and email account is like this.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
