Installing app via Game Center?

Hi,
I am using iPhone 5 with iOS 6, and I have App Store disabled via Restrictions. However, when a Game Center friend invited me to play a game (which is not installed in my iPhone), I realized I could actually install the game from Game Center itself without going into App Store (and I did). This kind of defeats the purpose of disabling App Store.
Is this supposed to be a bug / is there any way to resolve this?
Thanks in advance

Should set in Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps: OFF

    Can't re-install apps via App Store after deleting them.
    I tried cleaning all appstore.plist, cache, cookie files.
    The problem remains the same.
    Please advice.

  • Stolen Ipad still visible via Game Center though IP not visible...

    Dear Consumers and Apple Team!
    Recently my Ipad was stolen. Find my Ipad gave nothing and I bought the new one. But after some time I found that applications on old Ipad give me clues that my Ipad is still used as it is with no reset done.
    What I've got:
    Exchange mail - once all my ongoing meetings were cancelled and emails went to trash folder. I accessed the OWA page and found out that old Ipad was synchronized. New owner were getting rid of reminders and emails:) Unfortunatelly our administrators were not able to find the remote IP in Exchange logs.
    Game Center ID - I started to play tons of tiny games. Not actually me, my account))) BUT this games were not purchased via App Store.
    Chrome application - I started to see alien browsing history in syncronized account. Unfortunatelly Google gives no possibility to resolve IP just after account sync, it should be an access to Gmail... But new owner uses Chrome browser only and does not try to open Gmail. And at the moment the history gives no references who is using the account
    So somehow new owner has reset the Apple ID and turned Find my Iphone off. BUT, some application keep accessing their cloud with previous settings.
    Are there any means to find the user IP with the mentioned conditions?
    Thanks in advance!

    What version of iOS are you running? There are known issues with the beta of iOS 7, where the companion app doesn't work, and we're working on a fix for this - in the meantime, you should continue with iOS 6 or earlier.
    Other than that, can you verify that Scout works locally (i.e. on content in the browser on the local machine), and also from another remote machine (see the instructions for remote profiling in the getting started guide here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/scout/articles/adobe-scout-getting-started.html). It would be especially useful if you could test with a remote machine over wifi (e.g. a laptop). This would rule out any issues with your network, such as a firewall that's blocking connections.
    When you connect using the companion apps, are you typing in the IP address directly, or relying on the app to discover the Scout machine? This discovery uses the Bonjour service, and it's possible this could be being blocked by your network - so I would try typing in the IP address directly, to see if that works.
    Let me know how you get on!

  • Apps and Game center

    Hi I really need help and i'm kind of new to this site so sorry if i mess some stuff up. So anyway, i used to have an ipod touch 2.5 version and i made a game center account and got many apps. However just in december I bought a new ipod touch 5th generation from apple.ca and i assumed everything from my previous ipod would be on my new ipod. So i signed into my apple id and my game center account and got all my previous games. When i checked my game center account it had all my scores, and achievements from my first ipod. So i went onto the app ( for example frogbert by donut games) expecting to have all achievements and my high scores; on the home page of the game it has all my high scores and achievements however when i start playing the game it says i am on level one and my high score is zero! I am very confused and very frusturated by this so if someone could please please please answer me if this has happened to you or if you know what i should do or how to fix it. Thank you and sorry if it was kind of confusing

    You need to restore from an iTunes backup with all the apps in the iTunes library.
    You can do that on any computer with iTunes if you still have the old iPod.
    Following these instructions but you do not have to restore the old iPod like the article says. Inseat, restore the new iPod.

  • Installing apps via iTunes.

    Hello there!!
    I cannot succeed to install apps on my iPod via iTunes. 
    When trying to do so iTunes say: cannot install the "the name of the app goes here" because an unexpected error occurred (0xE8008001).
    I tried to authorizes the computer but this didn't help and I don't know how to solve this problem, can someone help me?
    *Any helpful help will be appreciated!!*
    Best regards!!
    Atar. 

    Downloading iOS apps from file sharing sites is unsupported and unwise (you have no idea what they actually are, do or contain), and is the source of your problem. The only legitimate place to get apps for your iPod is from the iTunes Store. Acquire your apps there and I doubt you'll have any problems.
    Sorry, we cannot provide any further help with attempting to use pirated applications.

  • Cannot install apps via apple configurator 1.1

    error message that apple configurator "can't install app", tooltip that "an unknown error message "install prohibited" was received from the device".
    Computer is authorized, app is free (iwritewords free version), ipad is supervised.  Have tried multiple apps, clearing and restoring supervision, clearing and restoring apps from configurator.  same error everytime.
    Trying to determine if it is viable to deploy iPads as childrens games stations in public library branches.

    What a big huge hairy deal. I had the same problem and came here to find solutions. Based on what was said, this is what I tried and what worked for me...
    Even though I had the setting to remove profiles that AC didn't install, I checked the profiles and the student restrictions profile that prevents installing apps was still on there. So I guess even though I'd unchecked it, AC didn't remove it. I consider that a bug. But I digress...
    I manually removed every profile on the iPad directed excect the one that says it's supervised and then refreshed in AC. That worked. So I won't have to uncheck and recheck all apps (which I tried and didn't work for me) but I *WILL* have to manually remove that student restriction profile on every single device. Grrr!! I'm considering NOT putting that one back. The iTunes store is blocked in our district filter for students anyway. I can't imaging having to manually remove that profile on every device every time I want to add a new app or update. Insane.

  • How to delete an app from Game Center?

    Hi,
    I have an app listed in my game center that I want to delete, I re downloaded it, played it for some time and deleted it, it asked me if I wanted to delete the game from Game Center and I selected 'yes', but the game is still there? there are also some games that are no longer in the app store but I still have them in my game center, what do I do? I don't like them being there since they only waste space.

    Sorry if I wasn't clear. I just woke up. Let me start again.
    Open iTunes with your phone connected to the computer. Now, click on Apps in the iTunes sidebar. This displays all the apps you currently own. Locate the one you don't want. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Delete from the context menu. Go down to the Devices section in the iTunes sidebar. Select your phone and sync it. The app should be removed from your phone and the listing of apps under the phones Apps tab in iTunes.

  • Has anyone got an answer from apple on how we can remove someone who had an access to clash of clans via game center and keeps on playing even if you already changed the password?

    someone loaded my clash of clans game to his device and kept on playing on it even if i already changed my password in game center, i figured he can still play as long as he doesn't load a new game center account in his device.. anyone has the solution for this??

    It won't matter what someone else may have experienced. If the iTunes Store has refused your request, then your only possible recourse at this point is to call Apple Support, ask to speak with someone in Customer Relations, and discuss the issue with them. If you have done so and they have refused to help, or you contact them and they cannot, then there's nothing else you can do as regards getting a solution from Apple. Contact your credit card company and report the charges as fraudulent.
    These are technical support forums and discussions about Apple's polices aren't allowed, so that's all we can advise.
    Regards.

  • Install App via Configuration Utitilty

    Hi All,
    I've currently got an issue with trying to install an application using the iPhone Configuration Utility.  Currently the default profile used in our organisation restricts the installation of apps so that staff can not download from idevices.  However I was under the impression that if I connect the device to the iPhone Configuration Utility and Click Install Application this would work however this is not the case, we receive the following error message
    "Could not install application on device. Error: An unknown error message 'InstallProhibited', was received from the device.
    Is it possible to install apps using the configuration utility whilst still having the ability to remove the function of download from the device.
    This is happening on both iPad 2 & iPhone 4, if I remove the profile it then works but when re-applying the poile this requires the mailbox to be re-sync.
    Regards,
    Bryant King

    Could you please check if the devices are detected in your iTunes. If the devices are not detected in iTunes, then please update  iTunes to its latest version. Hopefully, this will solve your problem.

  • Lenonvo T440 with Intel SSD SC2BF240A4L - failing to install apps via SCCM 2012 task sequence

    Hi there
    Wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue with a T440 with Intel SSD hard disk.
    Our firm purchased two Lenovo T440 laptops. One has a magnetic hard disk, the other a SSD hard disk. Here are the models:
    SSD hard disk:           Intel SSDSC2BF240A4L
    Magnetic hard disk:   500Gb 7200rpm HTS725050A7E635
    We deploy our Windows 7 build via a SCCM 2012 task sequence.
    Building the T440 with the magnetic hard disk was trouble free. I built it repeatedly, and encountered no errors; our core applications installed successfully every time and the task sequence completed successfully every time.
    All well and good.
    Building the T440 with the Intel SSD hard disk has been frustrating. When I run the task sequence on this machine, 8 times out of 10 the task sequence will fail, either stopping abruplty at installing Oracle Single-Sign On or Appsense agents. When the task sequence fails it is ALWAYS at one of these two apps. 
    Frustratingly, sometimes the task sequence will complete successfully on this T440.
    Given we successfully deploy this task sequence to a variety of different hardware from different vendors, including other Lenovo laptops, I can only guess the Intel SSD hard disk is the culprit. 
    Has anyone encountred anything like this? I've went through the smsts.log file and other SCCM log files and can find nothing obvious. That this ONLY happens on the T440 with the SSD suggests to me the issues lies in that direction.
    I'll swap disks in either T440 to see if the other T440 fails also with the SSD aboard, to see what happens.
    Meantime if anyone has any information about this issue I'd be grateful if you coud share.
    Thanks

    Does the install provide any logging? Does execmgr.log show any other info?
    Per the readme, it should be setup.exe.
