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...

  • Can I have multiple Game Center accounts with one Apple ID?

    My wife and I use the same Apple ID but want to have individual game enter accounts. Is this possible? Or does my wife need to set up her own Apple ID? Any one got any ideas?

    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.

  • Multiple Game Center accounts in one Apple ID

    Is it possible to have more than one Game Center account under one Apple ID? My wife and I share an ID, but want different accounts so that we can play each other. It must have been possible because we were somehow doing that before IOS 6. If I log on using the apple ID I am in my wife's account and I can see me there as a friend, so the account is there. I just can't access it. I really want to challenge people, with the Game Center update! Please help.

    Im having the problem too, I want to play Clash of clans with my brother but when ever he tries to play, hes me;(
    CAN ANYONE HELP US!!! PLEASE!!!

  • Multiple Game Center accounts from one Apple ID

    I have 2 Game Center accounts on my apple ID, which I set up on my IOS 5 devices. When I updated to IOS 6, I could no longer get onto one of my accounts. There is no place to log on using your nickname, only your apple ID. On my wife's account I can see myself there as a friend and I cannot seem to access the account though. I have read a few reviews about this but they seem a bit outdated now that IOS 6 is here. Can anyone help?

  • 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.

  • I can't sign up for a game center account with my apple id email!

    I have seen one entry about this already, but it didn't give an answer. I just got an iPhone and can use my apple ID to get apps just fine. But I can't create a Game Center account. In the other thread I saw about this, someone suggested to make sure your birth year is entered in your information. I've done that but it doesn't help.
    Anyone know how I can fix this issue?

    I feel your pain. I am working on a free e-book project to raise awareness for ALS and running into the same difficulty. We have some big name celebrities lending their Names to the book and are now being forced to explore alternate distribution networks. You are not alone!

  • 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!
