HT4314 How do you open game center games?

I know I must be overlooking something.  I cannot open my games in the game center.  I click on the game and it asks if I want to share or challenge someone. I just want to play my games.
Also, I copied my apps/games from my ipad and iphone onto my new macbook pro and synced both devices.  I see all of the apps inside my iTunes account.  I highlight the app and nothing happens.  Can you NOT use your iPad and iPhone apps on your macbook pro?
I was under the impression that you can use everything across all platforms.
Please advise.
Thanks!

iPad/iPhone = iOS
Mac (any flavor) = OS X
iOS is not OS X and they are not interchangeable.

  • 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.

  • How do I sync Game Center games progress with my other devices?

    Is there a way to maintain game progress in Game Center games between devices on the same apple ID?

    What do you mean syncing?  The ATV does not sync with other devices.

    Firefox 4.0 on WinXP shows the Menu bar by default, the orange Firefox button appears when the Menu bar is hidden. Right-click the Menu bar and de-select the Menu bar item by clicking on it.

  • Can you see game center games?

    Good afternoon all!!! This is simply a place to input our experience with Game Center...
    My experience is that I was successful at starting the account with my current apple id, but I am not seeing any games in the "Games" section. When I touch the "Find Game Center Games", it takes me to the Game Center web site on the Apple site through Safari.
    Please let me hear your success and unsuccess stories
    iPhone 4 running 4.1
    P.S. I am loving the upgrade so far and as soon this Game Center kink gets worked out, I am going to love it even more

  • How do I see my game center games on game center again?

    In game center on my iPod touch, none of the game center games will appear and none of the achievements of my friends will appear either. I have tried turning it off and on and also resetting and restoring the touch but nothing worked so far. What do I do?

    See this previous discussion.

  • HT4314 Game center will not recognize that I play any game center games.

    Game center will not recognize that I play any game center games. Also, my friends can interact with my game saves, but I cannot, because they do not appear in the "friends/neighbors" window when I play. What can I do to fix this?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • HT4314 I can not get on apps or game center games

    I can!t get on apps or new game center games

    "can't get on" - be much more specific.

  • HT4314 how do you remove friends from your friend list

    how do you remove friends from game center list

    I am having the same problem! And I dont understand why they changed things in Game Center...I believe it was back with the ios 6 or 7 update and the whole look changed. There is no place in the app to change things if  you want to, like picture or anything. All you can do is add a "status" which I personally find ridiculous.
    My bigges issue is that I have a friend who does NOT play a certain game anymore. This friend is taking up space in an area that I would like to fill with someone who DOES play and when I went through the motions of "unfriending" it takes them out of my list on Game Center but they are STILL there on the game in question. Makes no sense. Gone should be gone. There is no web site for Game Center and no real place to address these issues...

  • Question about Game Center games...

    I have a 1st gen ipod so i can get 4.0 but i have 3.1. What im curious about is can i buy games that are from game center but require atleast 3.0 to play? i know if its a game center game and needs 4.0 i cant play it obviously, but if its a game center game and needs 3.0 i can play it right? Just asking because since you can only get the game center (with the folders or w/e) with 4.0. just making sure.
    i really want to get angry birds and fragger.

    Try launching each game individually(games that have been updated to support game center) so it connects to game center and from that point on it should be added to your game center list.

  • Reset Game Center games???

    Hello,
    Is it possible to reset the achievements and scores of Game Center games?
    I want to remove the scores and achievements of ANGRY BIRDS and play again from the beginning.
    Regards

    the only thing I can think of doing is uninstalling the game so you lose all its data and then reinstalling the game im not even sure if that will work...

  • Game center games not showing up

    I'm running iOS 4.1 and no games show up in Game Center for me.
    A few things of note:
    All of my games are currently updated
    I have several compatible games (Fieldrunners and Flight Control for example)
    People can add me as a friend and I can view their games
    When I click "Find Game Center Games" it takes me to the app store and if I try to download/buy a game I already have it just says "Installed" in greyed out lettering.

    Try launching each game individually(games that have been updated to support game center) so it connects to game center and from that point on it should be added to your game center list.

  • How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer?

    How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer? I can't find a button on or below the door.  Am I missing something?  Additionally, will the K430 boot from a DVD/CD if it finds one in the DVD tray instead of the hard disk?  Please help. Thanks. 
    Solved!

    hi penguin247,
    Regarding your questions:
    1. Can you try to press the eject symbol on the DVD bay and observe if the DVD tray comes out.
    Link to picture
    2. By default, the HDD is set as the first boot device and the ODD second on the K430. You will need to change the boot order or continuously tap F12 during POST to boot from the ODD (assuming you have a bootable media inserted).

  • How do you open a PDF using Adobe Reader on your IPad in IBook?

    How do you open a PDF File using Adobe Reader on your IPad When in IBook?

    You can't. When you're in most of the PDF readers, the Share button gives you the option of Open In another app. But iBooks does not.
    You need to add your PDFs through the iTunes method which Alec wrote about here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1040579?tstart=0
    Or you can use another way of transferring your PDF to the iPad, like Dropbox. You install the Dropbox app on your iPad and copy your PDF from Dropbox (cloud application). It opens in Dropbox app and you use the Share icon to move it into Reader.
