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.

  • 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?

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

  • 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.

  • Game center account not working on multiple devices.

    My game center account works fine on my iPad 2, but when I log in on my 3GS (after logging out on my iPad 2) my iPhone can't receive invites and invites that I send do not work when the other player accepts them, it just says "waiting" . All of my push notifications are turned on and I can play with random people online, but I can't play with friends or even receive invites from them. But if I log out of my iPhone and log in on my iPad the account works just fine.

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • 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:
