How to delete IOS 4.2.1 Game Center on the iPad?

Color me antisocial, but I'd like to remove Game Center from my iPad or at least remove the icon/disable the service. Reading the manual for 4.2.1, I can turn off notifications and enable assorted restrictions, but even via iTunes cannot find a way to kill this thing or at a minimum remove from the desktop. Any hope/help, or is this something for a proverbial future IOS update? Hard to imagine that removal wouldn't be desired in an enterprise use profile.

Here is how to place Game Center into a folder...
Place your finger onto the Game Center app an wait for it to wiggle.
Drag the Game Center onto another app.
A folder will be made with both apps inside it.
You can rename the folder to something like 'Unused Apps'.
Hit the home button.
If the app that you dragged Game Center onto is one that you use.
Tap the folder to open the folder.
Place your finger onto the app you want to remover and wait for it to wiggle. Drag it from the folder and the tap the Home button.
A folder can have up to 12 apps inside it,

  • How to delete iOS 8.1.2 if it has already been downloaded?

    Believe it or not, my iPhone 5 still runs iOS 7.0.4.
    Recently it downloaded iOS 8.1.2. I suddently lost ~1GB of free space, then went to Settings and noticed it downloaded the update. I can't see iOS or anything similar under Storage. I want to delete it, since my phone is the 16GB version, making all lost storage a huge waste. And no, I'm not updating.

    Hi, bamboo64. 
    Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Once this is done test the results.  If the issue persists, I have included a couple troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through. 
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • How can I choose another name for Game Center? (not a nick)

    How can I choose another name for Game Center ? (not a nick)

    Hi XxCarrisxX,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are asking. If you are talking about changing to or using a different Apple ID in Game Center, you may find the following article helpful:
    Sign in to your Game Center account using your Apple ID. If you don't have an Apple ID or another Apple account, tap or click Create New Account to create an account to use with Game Center.
    You can change the account you are signed into by:
    iOS: Tap Settings > Game Center.
    OS X: Click the Me tab in the Game Center app and click on your Account.
    Apple Support: Using Game Center
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
    However, make sure you are aware of the following:
    Note: Please note each Apple ID has its own associated scores, achievements, and friends.
    Apple IDs are also tied to your other Apple services, and therefore should not be created lightly.
    Regards,
    - Brenden

  • 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.
    Device: iPad 3G (iPad3,2)
    iOS version: 6.1.2

    Let apple know how you feel
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    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.

  • How do you create a flash in game popup on the same frame?

    How do you create a flash in game popup on the same frame?
    I need to make a popup in flash on the same frame. Basiclly like you reach the frame and randomly (I know how to do random stuff) a popup might appear saying like you got a prize; and I want the stuff in the back to stay the same.
    Please help me!
    Thankx in advance.

    Whatever frame you intend to make this movieclip appear in, you first set it to be invisible using...
    popupName._visible = false; // popupName is whatever instance name you use
    And for whatever random code you use to trigger it to appear you just set the _visible property to be true...
    popupName._visible = true;

  • HT4962 how i get ios 5 on my ipod 3g becuase the version is too old 4.2.1

    how i get ios 5 on my ipod 3g becuase the version is too old 4.2.1

    Very likely since yu really have a 2G iPod. Those only go to 4.2.1. If your is an 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G since Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one can be either. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
    Hope that helps.

    The sound in my IPad is not working after I downloaded the new iOS 7. I tried to reset the IPad to no avail. Could anyone be so kind to help me?

    I"m going to make the presumption that you've checked the volume and that you don't have it muted. One thing some have suggested is to go into the settings and reset all settings.
    It is kind of a drag because you wil have to retweak everything but it's helped for some.

  • Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it.

    Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it. Connected it iTunes (on my windows 8 system) with which I sync and that too required an update as old version of itunes cannot read ios7. Problem is itunes does not want to get updated. Some vague error on not having right to write a file in ProgramData folder wheras as an admin i have full rights. Next I downloaded the install file from itunes site - no luck it would not install. Then I tried to remove itunes - it does not want to go. Am at wits end... Is the option only to restore it as a new Ipad?

    Place the iPhone into recovery mode and restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer.
