How do I transfer Game Center id to a new apple id (created for family sharing for a child) in iOS 8?

I just created a new Apple ID for my son (under 13 so could not have an account until new), as part of the new family sharing option in iOS 8.0.2, and I want to transfer the Game Center account he was using to the new Apple ID. I see in Settings > Game Center it has the option to login into an Apple ID but not Game Center separately. How do I get the new Apple ID to use the old Game Center account he was using?

There is no way to merge or transfer anything to another AppleID. The App Store license also specifies that purchases cannot be transferred.

  • How can I transfer game data from IPad under one Apple ID to IPhone under another?

    I have been playing Jetpack Joyride for nearly a year on my father's IPad 2 with his Apple ID. Now I have an IPhone 5, which is working under my Apple ID, and I don't want to start all over again. Is there any way to transfer my progress?
    P.S. I tried using Game Center, and it oly syncs highscores and achievements, not my in-game money and completed missions.

    Unfortunately there's no way to do this unless the game has a username and password that you sign in within the game format. If Apple allowed users to use different apple IDs and get the same purchase how would they ever make money?
    Each purchase made on apps is associated with the Apple ID it was purchased under... they cant' be transferred or used by another Apple ID.

  • HT4314 Can I transfer Game Center data stored in one Apple ID to a new Apple ID?

    My son signed up for Game Center with my Apple ID last year.  All of his game data is saved in my account.  He now has his own different Apple ID.  I would like to transfer his data out of my account into his account so that his iPod needs no access to my Apple ID.  Is this possible?

    No, it is locked to the Game Center ID used

    How do I transfer a game from ipad 1 to a newer ipad without losing my points or paid for add ons?

    Backup your old iPad, then when you set up the new one, restore it from the backup of your old one. THat should make your new one a near clone of the old one. When I set up my new iPod I restored it from the backup of my old one and kept my Angry Birds progress.

  • How do i add an apple id for family sharing for my husband

    I am trying to set up family sharing and have added my daughters easily but when i try and invite my husband it says we cant as he email address is already associated with my apple id. How can i set him up to use family sharing?

    Go to Settings/Messages. Tap on Send & Receive, then on Apple ID. Sign out, then sign in with his Apple ID and password.
    After doing this you will not be able to use iMessage for your own messages.

  • How can i transfer my purchased items to a new apple ID?

    I currently have an apple ID that i use for all my iMessages and everything else i do except for my app and itunes purchase. I know we don't have the option to merge 2 apple Id's yet so i was wondering if there is a way to transfer what I've already purchased to the other apple ID i have. In a sense merging by transferring everything over.

    There is no way to merge or transfer anything to another AppleID. The App Store license also specifies that purchases cannot be transferred.

  • How to transfer Game Center games progress from old iPad to new iPad ?

    How do I transfer game progress to new iPad 2 from old iPad1, especially from Game Center? I got a new iPad 2 for Christmas, and have many games with a lot of time and not to mention money invested in them. How can I get my game levels back to the way theyare in ipad1. ??! Help!

    If you use the same iTunes account then your scores will be carried over from Gamecenter, but not necessarily your progress. If you want the games to keep your progress, back up your original iPad and then, for your new iPad, "restore" it with the backup of your original. Your game progress should follow the backup, but no guarantees that it will for every app.

    You can try it
    Take any apple device and download any game that you are playing already on your device
    Sign in game center with your APPLE ID  on the new device and open the game
    U will find it the same as you play it in your device with the same progress .
    You can test it without any risk at all

  • How can we transfer games from ipod 4 to a different ipod 4

    how can we transfer games from ipod 4 to a different ipod 4??

    Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the second device with the iTunes library containing the content. If you want to transfer the game data as well, perform a backup and restore.

  • HT4314 Can I have more than one Game Center account on the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up?

    I am playing Clash of Clans on my iphone and on my iPad. I would like to connect each of my games to a different Game Center ID so I don't lose them if something happens to my device, but I can't figure out how to do that without creating new Apple IDs for each device and I don't want to do that. Any advice? Can I have more than one Game Center account under the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up? Thanks!

    If you use the same account see the following to separate Messages and FaceTime between the two iPod see:

  • 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.
