  • Multiple game center accounts

    Prior to installing iOS7, I could sign into Game Center.  I had set up a game center account for my 9 year old daughter on my iPhone5 and I had a separate account sign in on my iPad mini.  Now, it seems to automatically sign me in on both, and I have not found a way to access my daughter's account. Does anyone have a solution?

    We were both playing under the same Apple ID before the update. If I set her up an Apple account then her game progress is lost. Very frustrating when she plays the games as a reward for helping out, straight A's, piano practice and it is now out of reach.  I am still friends with her through the games, but can't get to her games.

  • 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 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?

    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 for single appleid?

    I have 2 iPhones and an iPad for family members. I use my Apple ID to manage them. How do I assign a game center account to two other family members different than  the one I use to  manage the devices? I'd like to play games against them but we can't all use the same game center ID.

    We just had some Game Center issues.  Here is how you can create multiple users on the same apple ID.
    Go to Game Center. 
    If there is a username already visible, tap where the user name is and hit the "X" to the right of it.
    Touch "create new account". 
    Go through the prompts.
    If the account is for a minor, it will not ask for an email address.  A child will use their nickname along with their password to login.  BE SURE TO WRITE DOWN AND KEEP IN A SAFE PLACE. Apple's Game Center support cannot view minor accounts for some reason! 
    If the account is for an adult, they will need their own email address.
    Finish going through prompts.  Now you each have your own login and password. 
    Now each user can go to the game they want to play.  They may be prompted to select which user is playing and login.
    I am not sure why some of you would have the name change on all devices.  It could be an automatic synching issue when connecting to iTunes or via iCloud.  Check your iTunes preferences.
    Hope this will help some of you.
    Also, although you each created your own username and password, even with different email addresses for login purposes, apps will still be purchased under the original iTunes account.  If a user wants to make a purchase on their own individual devices, they will be required to enter the password for the iTunes account, not the password for their Game Center account.

  • 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.

  • 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;(

  • Multiple game center accounts - ios 7.0.4

    I have an iPad 2 with ios 7.0.4 and my wife has the same.
    We enjoy playing a few of the same game together and would like to be friends in the games.
    When we first set up her iPad, we just used my apple id for the setup.
    I am now unsure how to decouple her ipad from my ipad while still keeping one Apple ID for purchases.
    In particular, i ran into the following problem.
    I created a new Apple ID for my wife to use to login to game center. It allowed her to login and specify a new nickname. However, when i went back to my ipad, her nickname showed up in my game center. When i looked closer, this is what i saw
    My iPad: game center settings showed my Apple ID email but showed my wife's nickname for game center
    Wife's iPad: game center settings showed wife's new Apple ID email and showed her new nickname for game center, but had the points for my game center profile
    How do we setup her iPad to use her Apple ID for game center but use the primary Apple ID for purchases?

    I have a red "1" showing I have a request, how do I accept it? I have my list of friends, I scroll down and see the list of recommendations (which doesn't tell me they are playing my game), but I don't see where to accept the request sent to me.

  • I just got an iphone 3GS and am trying to set up a game center account and it lets me log in with my apple id and password but when it come time to set up a nickname it tells me my email is already in use with another apple id. How do I fix this?

    I have been trying to log in to the game center for 2 days now with no luck. I have an apple id and have never used game center before. It keeps telling me my email is already in use with another apple id and I have no idea how to get around this and would like to be able to play my games.

    If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

  • HT4314 I have an game center account, but i cannot log in on my iPhone.  Everything is just fine on my iPad.  BTW before I try to log in on my iPhone I turn off the iPad.

  • HT4314 I can't set up a game center account

    when it asks for my DOB i put "1982" as my year and it says "invalid characters" in that field. Any ideas?

    I think I resolved this, it was because my account didn't have a DOB set up in it prior to me trying to log in.
