HT4314 i want to disable Game Center

I don't have any use for Game Center, but it pops up and wants me to sign in at inopportune times.  I have never signed in and don't want to.  Any ideas how I cand keep it from annoying me? thanks

Do you have Game Center in the Apps that run automatic at login ?
Look into system preferences Users and Groups and see if it is listed under Lopgin elements

  • HT4314 How do I disable game center's "welcome back" popup messages or disable game center entirely?

    Iphone 5, iOS 7.0.4
    Ok, this seems obvious but how do I get rid of this welcome back popup? Every time I open a game this redundant "welcome back!" message pops up taking up a good quarter of the screen and frequently causing me to die. I can't tell you how many times I've opened a game like Sonic the Hedgehog 2, only to die immediately because I can't see my character while he's covered by a big "welcome back" message. Of course, when that's the last life left and I end up having to restart the whole level, you can see how it might be way more frustrating than it's worth.
    So, I've excluded game center from the notification center stuff, I've set it to "no notifications" (which shouldn't matter since it's excluded) and still it pops up.
    I signed out of game center too because i'd rather enjoy my games than be frustrated and able to share the scores.  Now it just has a pop up at the beginning of every game asking me to sign in, which is just aggrivating in a different way, plus now I I don't have the ability to use the game center. I read here that once signed out there is a button to disable game center, but that doesn't seem to appear in iOS 7. Is there a way to disable it without jailbreaking my phone?
    Thanks!

    May not be Game Center but something in Solitaire...whcih Solitaire is this, there are so many?
    I have Real Solitaire, ver 2.5.1 and it has in the window when you win that you are not signed in to Game Center but never says anything else about Game Center.

  • 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.

  • How do I disable game center?!?!?

    Other threads seem to indicate that it's possible to disable game center by way of settings > general > restrictions but if that ever existed it's gone now.  Any thoughts?
    On that subect I have a simple basic solitaire game (Real Solitaire) that I'd like to play but I can't because the game center sign in pops up and I can't get past it.  The developer's web site is down...
    I do realize this is for help and not complaints so I will not comment on my feelings about being forced to deal witn something I will never, ever use

  • How can I disable Game Center in iOS6 if I don't want to go public?

    Even with all notifications and banners, etc., turned ofgf for Game Center, some games still demand a SignIn/Out before allowing play. I don't want to compete with other users, and don't care how well they play either. There should be a general Opt-Out that works for us curmudgeons.

    I just wanted to play Backgammon tonight. It looped through the signin pages ten times before I could. Forcing Game Center on me just insures that I won't every buy another game...

  • How do I disable Game Center in ios7?

    Hi there.  I know this question has recently been asked, but I can't seem to find a solution to our particular problem.  My 8-year daughter wanted to play Early Bird HD on my iPad and when she started the game, the ios7 game center login screen appeared, with no visible option to cancel out of it.  I refused to let her sign on to Game Center, because there's no reason for my 8-year old to be part of that community.  Has anyone out there encountered the same issue since downloading ios7 and does anyone know how to prevent that screen from appearing?  Without a way to disable it/cancel out of it, my kids can't play these games anymore. 
    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much in advance!

    fYou don't. Apple seems to consider Game Center participation mandatory and there is no way to disable it.
    The most you can do is use an ID that's not your real Apple ID. I use a secondary ID for my Game Center because I didn't like the privacy violation either. Pick a nick name, pick an e-mail. If you don't have an 'extra' one, sign up for a hotmail or something and use that.
    In the settings you can disable multiplayer games and invites, so that will help a bit.

  • How do I disable game center in macbook pro

    A couple of  apps I downloaded, a casino slot, want the game center to become involved.  I do not want to have anything to do with the game center.
    Other games e.g. solitaire card games do not cause the game center to pop up.  How do I disable this?

    Thanks, I tried that and it did not work.  It never showed up in the login items. 
    The strange thing is that went the game comes up the game center slash opens but you cannot
    enter anything into the boxes including 'cancel'.  There must be a bug somewhere.  I will cancel that game and get another and try it.

  • How do I disable Game Center prompts in iOS 8.1?

    Every time I go to open a game, Game centre loads up and it prompts me to sign up for an account.  I don't want one!  Any idea how to disable this?
    Thanks.

    Game Center stops asking after you've rejected the invitation about three times (per game).

  • 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".

  • 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 can I have multiple game center accounts with one itunes account?

    they cant, and they should all have seperate Apple Id's

  • HT4314 How to create several game center accounts using one apple id?

    I have both ipad and iphone. How can i play with my wife/son via game center?

    varjack:  I guess we're just talking about semantics at this point.  What I was saying is:  you absolutely can have multiple accounts in Game Center and still use the same Apple ID to sign in / make purchases across multiple devices - which I think was what the OP was asking.  I would call them "Game Center accounts" instead of Apple IDs because you never actually log into your device using those accounts - only Game Center.  What you are saying is that they are also Apple IDs.  Either way, the terminology is confusing.
    Suffice to say:  the OP can have multiple accounts through Game Center - one for each device - but still keep the "main" Apple ID for making purchases and sharing apps across both devices.  To do this, make a new account in Game Center for the second device.
    Luisno9:  If you're asking is it possible to merge the data from the two accounts, my guess is no.  If you're asking how to log in using only one account excusively, you could try deleting the second account (if that's possible - I haven't tried), although I'm sure you'd lose your place in the game.  Finally, if nothing else works I'd suggest only opening your apps using the same method each time to avoid the problem.  Sorry that's not more help!
