Hi,
I forgot my game center password. I have everything else (APPLE-ID, game center user name...) but can't login because I forgot the GC password.
How do I retrieve it or reset it?
Thanks!

How can I retrieve a forgotten password for my home wi-fi network?

I have a wi-fi network at home for my iMac, printer, phone and two iPads. On trying to connect a new device I discovered that the password I thought was correct will not work. How can I retrieve the correct password from one of the devices already on the network? If I cannot to that, how can I change the network password for all the devices?

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Was playing game for months. Tonite, I went to play and it started me back as a new user. How do I find my player info and continue playing my origional game??

Was playing game for months, when I turned ipad on tonite and went to continue playing, it started me as a new user. My old achievements are still in game, but can only view them as the game recognizes me as a new user. How can I retrieve my player info to continue where I left off in game?

Exactly, a full backup of the previous device would contain all the app workfiles that stored the current state of the game.
I'm thinking if your kids got ahold of the iPad and decided to start with a new/fresh character, it may not be possible to go back. Given that the device is not altogether geared for multiuser usage (Apple would rather everyone got their own), many games don't support multiple users, besides those on other devices when in networked multiplayer mode.
But hopefully they will answer and set the record straight. While you wait may want to interrogate the infractors on what they specifically did so you can provide details to the maker if they need them.

I'm not sure iCloud stores everything. Even iTunes states that iCloud "Backs up the most important data..." whereas locally there will be "A full backup..."

have an ipod and then got the wife an iphone4. all passwords are screwed up. she can not access playstore cuz she doesn't have password. i can not get find any help on how to get or update a password for the ipod. and then get her a separate password for her iphone. we need to save her photos, music, etc to ? icloud and the phone stuff to verizon cloud? so when she gets her new Iphone6 she can have all her "stuff" back on the new phone. hope this makes sense. please offer suggestions here or at [email protected] thanks for your help!

Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.

How can I retrieve a forgotten Game Center account?

I have a Clash of Clans account and I'm playing it for about 2 years. It was level 97 and it's currently in town hall 9. I'm afraid that I will lost my game if my phone gets broken. That's why I want my account to be linked to a different device, but I can't do it because it's asking me to log in first to my Game Center account. How can I retrieve my Game Center account? I just changed my Apple I.D. when Apple updated it's IOS to IOS 8, because it required me to do so. But when I wanted to log in my Game Center account it asks me to log in in my game, but it kept on saying that my game is already attached in another Game Center account. What am I suppose to do? Please help me. I don't want to lost my game that I played for years now.

Howdy kanereyes,
In order to use the Game Center settings and progress from that game, you will need to log in to the Game Center account you have been using with it. You can change Game Center accounts on any device using the steps in this article -
Using Game Center on your Mac or iOS device - Apple Support
Specifically -
Sign in to Game Center
Open Game Center and sign in using your Apple ID. If you don't have an Apple ID, select Create New Apple ID. If you need to sign in with a different Apple ID, follow these steps:
iOS: Go to Settings and tap Game Center > Apple ID > Sign Out.
OS X: Go to the Me tab and click Account > Sign Out.
When you sign in with a different Apple ID, you'll see different scores, achievements, and friends.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

How can you retrieve a forgotten game center password?

I need help! My 8-year-old son set-up his own separate account/nickname for Game Center. Now he can't recall his password. Because he is so young, his account had to be piggy-backed with an adult's account. How can I retrieve his password? He's very upset at the prospect of having to start all hs games over.
He had a nickname, too.

Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums! This is your first question, right?
Game Center isn't needed for any of your son's games to work. I don't think a 8 year old needs leaderboards or achievements. You can play without GC, but you can also try this approach by Cosmic Ray. Read the full discussion with the link below.
Hello everyone. I was having the exact same problem. Forgot my password and was unable to sign back into my Game Center account. I just figured out how to get back on, using the same Apple ID.
On Game Center sign in screen, just click "Create New Account." I entered the exact same email that I had used before, and same personal information. It alerted me that the email address was already in the system and if I wanted to use this again. I clicked "yes." After clicking the "Agree" button, my previous Apple ID was active again and I was able to sign in.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

How do I retrieve a forgotten password for my encrypted backup?

Ive set a password for my backups on iTunes 10.2.2. and I have forgotten it! There is no "Forgot your password" button anywhere!! How do I get past this crap???!!!

I'm sorry you forgot your password, and have to recreate a backup of your phone.
But encrypted files, and passwords are your responsibility to save.
Hammeredd wrote:
What idiot came up with a password system which has no failsafe?
There are plenty of systems that do not have failsafe for lost passwords.
My Visa and bank cards do not have a "failsafe" pin number.
Encrypted folders, disk images e.t.c do not have failsafe passwords.
What the encrypted back up does is encrypt your data using a key (the "password") that you supply.
In order to have a "fail safe" as you put it, the key would have to be saved somewhere else.
This then it would have to be stored on your computer.
But would you need it also protected? Yes, otherwise it is a useless password.
They could put it in your keychain, which has a password to protect it.
But what if you forget keychain password?
Where should Apple put a failsafe copy of your keychain password?
How about in another encrypted file, with a password.... what if you forget that password?
This could go on forever.
...every other system we use has a facility to either email your password to you or have you answer a number of security questions to change it.
Are you suggesting that Apple store all encrypted file passwords on their servers?
I am sure then there would be an uproar over Apple being "Big Brother".
no security system is worth losing all your information, this must be a mistake.
No mistake. This is normal practice.
There is also an option to delete your iPhone if the wrong passcode is put in 10 times.
I have that.
If someone tries to get into my phone I would rather have all the data deleted.
But then I back up data, and save passwords.
THERE MUST BE A WAY OF RECOVERING THIS BACKUP INFORMATION!!!!
There is not. The data is encrypted.
That's the point, no one can get it; unless they apply and very complicated decryption system and spend a lot of time on it (like the CIA)
otherwise my intention to buy my partner an iphone has just bit the dust. And this one will be going as well.
So because you made a mistake in not reading, and not saving your password?
There is a clear warning when you choose to encrypt your backup.
This really is a case of you not taking responsibility for your own mistake.
You made a mistake.
Now step up and accept it; and don't make it again.
What you can do in future is create a "note" in your keychain and save your passwords there if you are prone to losing passwords.

I am trying to get a password, but I can't remember my user name. Firefox answers back that there is a registered user with my email. Probably me, but I can't long on as I don't have the user name.

When the new password is used, it asks also for a user name if an email account is recorded.
Finally, after trying lots of user names, this one seemed to work. The website logon should not require a user name if I can get a password change by just using my email account.

Hi brendalynn6,
Have you looked at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article? There are a couple of different PDF plugins listed in the article. I'd suggest you give those a shot. You might also want to take a look at [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

I recently purchased an iMac and used migration assistant to get all files from my emac, but now I have three user accounts. I only want one (perhaps two) accounts. I want all my music, photos and word docs from old computer in one user name

I recently purchased a mac and used a firewire to transfer my files onto my new imac with migration assistant. Now I have 3 users. I want one with all my main files (pictures, music, files from my old computer).
I don't mind having an additional "family" account so my younger daughter can't mess us things, but I can't figure out how to get files from one to the next and then delete the one user name.
Thanks,

In order to delete other accounts you must be logged into an admin account. You cannot delete the account into which you are currently logged.
When you started the new computer you were in the Setup Assistant. You created a new admin account before finishing the setup. You need to log into that account because it is an admin account. You can then delete the account you migrated from the old computer (and any other accounts you don't need or want.)
Then create a temporary new user account with admin status - name it, Temp. Log out of the current account and log into the new account, Temp. Now delete the initial account you created in Setup Assistant. You now have one account, Temp. Now re-migrate your data from the old computer. When that is completed log into the migrated account, which should be an admin account, and delete the temporary account, Temp.

I was referred here by customer service. I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC. After accepting the agreement I receive an error message saying "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid.

All your pictures will remain safe even after uninstalling the program. Your pictures are saved to your system in form of catalog present at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<your catalog><br />When you reinstall the program you can open this catalog and view all your photos again.
