HT4314 Missing Game Center account

I have 1 Apple ID and 2 Game Center accounts (Mom and Kid playing things like Dragon Vale together)...
I used to be able to access Game Center account A from my iPad and Game Center account B from my iPhone.
Ever since the revised Terms & Conditions were released (September 2012), I now can not login to Account B - it seems to have disappeared?
When I check Account A (on the ipad), Account B still shows up as an active Friend. Now, I am stuck as only Account A when I logged back into Game Center on the iPhone using the Apple ID.
Any ideas on how I can retrieve the 'lost' game center account???
Thanks!

Try restoring from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
If you resore from iTunes backup
To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

HT4314 Multiple game center accounts with on Apple ID

We have 3 i touches at our house. My son went to add a picture to his Game Center account, and now can't get into his account, because it asks for the ID and so on. Using the Apple ID, it defaults to my game center account, and since it only asks for the Apple ID, not the Game Center Name, how can I differientiate between the three?

Surely we don't have to create new Apple ID's for children?? Also, if we can no longer have multiple user names on our Game Center accounts, as we have done for years, we had 3 users, myself and my 2 children. How can we transfer their exsisting achievements etc linked to their own user name over to a new iTunes account? I know I don't want them having their own account, this is not very family friendly at all!! Please fix this, as I know there are a lot of people complaining and some have spent quite a bit of money on their childrens user name and now they can no longer access...

HT4314 My game center account has been reset on ipad ,but my iphone still has scores

Just now , i got a message on ipad's game center that i dont have an account with my username and u have to make a new one :/
I dont know whats the problem, but it really ****** me off i have almost 10000 points ,i've been playing for really long time i cant afford its loss
Now i'm starting from zero on the ipad i don't know which device is giving me the wrong details
So please help me

Have you given your information to anyone?   Family, friend?
Did you have another device with Game Center on it?   Did you give a new owner of a device any passwords?
Do you share apple account with a family member?
Do you have a rescue email set up in your Apple account, with security questions?
I suggest you set up a new email account, write everything down and keep it in a safe place.
New email account and password. Not so easy that it can be hacked.
In your iTunes account on the computer. Login and change security questions, password and rescue email.
Again, make sure your password is not easy to guess.   Same with security questions.
Write it all down and keep it somewhere safe.
I recommend a password keeper called Enpass.   You can store 10 cards with user names, passwords, notes and account numbers in the free version.
Then you only have to remember one complicated password to open Enpass and retrieve your information.
If all else fails, contact apple support.

HT4314 can I have multiple game center accounts with one itunes account?

All members of the family havee iphones ipads associated with the same itunes account. How can they have seperate game center accounts?

HT4314 i have 2 game center account with 1 apple id but it will only access one account. it says the other id is used but i cant change . help.

I have a game center account that has 2 accounts in the same apple id. the problem is i can only access one account. when i try to type in for the second account it says already taken. How do i change to the 2nd account with the same apple id? Please help.

that's the issue, you bought the OS online so Donald is right, it is being mailed to you. post the URL where you bought it.
the 'app store' is an application running on OSX itself where you can DL software.
so, you have to wait for mountain lion to arrive.
if you want to get a clean OS on your machine now, do this
reboot holding down command/option/R (hoping your machine supports this)
open disk utility, erase your HD so you have a single mac journaled partition
choose install OSX on this HD
let it run. from what you said, you will be back on lion.

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:

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!

HT4314 Can you delete game date on a Game Center account?

I'm new to this but basically I want to restart a game I'm playing (Animal Voyage - Adventure Island), I have tryed resetting my Ipad and uninstalling the game but it keeps taking me back to the same point of the game, so I'm assuming its because the data is saved to my game center account.
Any help much appreciated.

Apps are always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase/download them. They can't be transferred/shared with another Apple ID.
Since you will be the user of the app, just purchase it.

HT4314 Can you have multiply Game Center accounts on one apple id

Can you have multiply Game Center accounts on your apple id

After 2 hours worth of searching with no answer, I decided to run a test and it worked. This is what I did to have multiple Game Center IDs on iOS7. (People responding may have over looked this detail because they assumed it was obvious, but it wasn't)
Answer: you MUST have multiple Apple ID accounts, however, you use the main one to log in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE.
1. I deleted the Alternate Email Address associated with my account
2. I created an entire new Apple ID with this email address
3. I login in to SETTINGS > ITUNES & APP STORE with my original Apple ID (credit card on file)
4. I login to Game Center, iCloud, etc... with my kid's NEW Apple ID
So purchasing still goes under our shared account and game center, iCloud, etc... go under my kid's Apple ID.
^ ^ ^ ^ This is the simple straight forward answer I was looking for ^ ^ ^ ^

HT4314 Can i move a game from one game center account to another

some time ago I put my daughter's smurf village on my game centre account so she could get friends. I also had a smurf village subsequently which i connected with friends through facebook. Long story short I have two smurf villages associated with the same game center account. Is there any way to move one onto another game center account?

HT4314 I can't log in to my game center account.

It wants my Apple ID and password. I put them in (the same ones I used to log onto this apple support site and my iTunes account). But it says they aren't right. So here's my question. My daughter set up my game center account. Is it possible the Apple ID and password Game Center is looking for could be different? When I tried to retreive my password from Game Center, it said I had to create a whole new password (i.e., it wouldn't let me use my same old password). But I'm wary of doing that... will that change my Apple ID password for everything? I don't know what to do. Thanks.
Julie

Luxury, Julie! I can't even get past the “Nickname” window. I put in a nickname and press the “Continue” button. Another pool-table-felt-green window appears, empty except for the spinning pinwheel (“doing something…”) in the middle. After a couple of hours mesmerized by this wonderful phenomenon, I figure I didn't want to see what "Game Center" is, anyway.

HT4314 I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email. I have since assigned two different emails. How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not ha

I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email. I have since assigned two different emails. How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
If so, you can change it.
1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
3. Log in with a different ID.

2 Game Center Accounts on 2 iPads - with the same Apple ID. How to do that?

I really hope someone can help my daughter and I here...
The story: My daughter and I had an iPad each - naturally, since she is a minor, both iPads had the same Apple ID & password. In Game Center, we had separate Accounts (so we wouldn't mess up each others zoos and such), but with the same Apple ID. No problems so far.
Now, some lowlife burglar stole both our iPads... So I have bought new ones, one for me, and one for my daughter. She is thrilled to have her iPad back, and the games she have missed.
But oh no... Whenever she opens a game, the iPad launches "my version" of the game, with my Game Center nickname. I try to log her in with her nickname on her new iPad, but it is impossible - using the same Apple ID and password, it only shows my Game Center account. If I try to manage my account, or create a new with the exact same nickname she used on her old iPad, Game Center refuses to log on, because the "name is already taken" - Well I know it is taken, it is my daughters, but how to get it? It is like I know both the Apple ID, the password and both GCA names - but I have nowhere to type in "Game Center Account name" followed by the password...
I need help. I tell my daughter that there must be a solution, and her progress in her games are not lost; I can see them through MY Game Center account, so they are not deleted - but how to enter her part of the account is beyond my knowledge, so please, any ideas are welcome. You have the chance to make a little girl VERY happy :)

On the ipad that you wish to change the ID:
You can Erase all content and settings - that returns it to the "out of box" condition.
OR
Settings - iCloud - Delete account (It will ask if you want to keep contacts, calendars etc).
Settings - Messages - Tap AppleID - Sign out
Settings - Facetime - Tap AppleID - Sign out
Settings - iTunes and App store, tap apple ID, sign out.
