Problems signing into Game Center account

Whenever I try to sign into Game Center on my iPad with an account I've been using for a few years now, it suddenly asks me to create a nickname and sign the terms agreement and then it says my nickname and account already exists. This isn't on the create a new account page; it's on the sign in page, and it won't let me actually log onto my game center account. Can anyone show me what to do?

  • Almost everytime I sign into Game Center or into a game itself my iPad goes back to desktop. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I'm having a lot of problems sometimes signing into Game Center, or when the game itself is loaded I will click on something and it pretty much crashes and goes back to desktop! This is very annoying. Just not sure why this keeps happening. Does anyone else have this problem and know what the cause of it may be?

    My guess would be you don't have enough memory available to run the games that you are trying to play. This is not supposed to happen in iOS - but I have seen too many instances to believe that the iOS can handle it properly all of the time. My suggestion would be to close all apps in the recents tray, reboot and start over again and see if that helps.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    The problem could be something else software related and restoring the device might help, but I would start with this and see how it goes.

    I have the exact same problem. I can log into Iworks on my macbook but when I tried to share my numbers doc to iwork on my ipad (first generation) it gave me the same error.  Do you think it has something to do with icloud? 

  • I can't sign into game center and the app store?!

    Hi
    I have a mac book pro which is about 1year and 2months old and I recently purchased and dowloaded the new mac osx mountain lion using the app store. I followed every step and agreed to all the terms and conditions. However now i cannot access the app store and I cannot sign into game center.
    Firstly, when i open the app store it says 'cannot connect to the app store' but somehow it can tell me that there is an update available. I have never had the problem before.
    Secondly, with game center I can open it but when I type in my apple ID and click sign in nothing happens.
    Help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi, bamboo64. 
    Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Once this is done test the results.  If the issue persists, I have included a couple troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through. 
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • Im having problems signing into my itunes account and i now the password is correct so it is not letting me homeshare?

    Im having problems signing into my itunes account on my apple tv so it is not letting me homeshare with my laptop, others are claiming to have the same problem. What is going on?

    If you are absolutely positively sure that the password you are typing in is your Apple ID password, I would try once more to enter the password. Be real careful as you type and make sure that Autocorrect is not changing what you are typing.
    If no luck try to proceed without entering the password. If you can get the iPad functional go into
    Settings > ITunes and App Store and log in there.
    If you can log into to your Apple ID there you will also need to go to
    Settings > Messages > Send and Receive and enter or check the email at which you want to receive messages,
    Also
    Settings > FaceTime > check or enter the email address you want to be reached by FaceTime.

    Hello Mommommary,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having this issue but here is a solution that may help(Cant Login to ePrintCenter)
    1. No the hp passport and the ePrintCenter account information are separate systems. Unless when you created the ePrintCenter account you used the same username and password you used to create the hp passport.

  • Problems signing into my itunes account to buy music

    Trying to buy in the store, when I try and sign in from my MAC at home, it just keeps "accessing itunes store", while I can get in from my PC at work. Any thoughts people?

    If you have not done so already, try running Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities/) and, on the +First Aid+ tab, using +Repair Disk Permissions+ on your startup drive. Then restart and try it again.
    If that does not help, as a test, create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
    http://discussions.apple.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=9421939
    Log out and log in to the new account. In the new account, run iTunes. iTunes will be using a new library file and new preference files. Try logging into your iTunes account to see if it works better. If so, we'll have to figure out what the exact problem is in your usual user account.

  • Problems signing into itunes store account from windows vista

    I have recently downloaded the latest version of itunes for a new computer running Windows Vista. I already have an apple ID account to use with the store and have been able to access this on other computers, but every time I try to sign in on the new computer it has an error message that the "network connection has timed out". I have searched for help for this, which appears to be a common issue, and all the recommended solutions like checking firewall settings have not helped as I am still unable to sign in. My internet connection is fine, and I am able to access the store itself, just not my account.
    If anyone could help with this problem I would be very grateful.

    Excellent. If you ever want to uninstall that trial Norton, keep in mind that you need a special removal tool from Symantec. Simply uninstalling it via Add/Remove Programs does NOT delete it from your PC. It really is horrible software.

  • I recently changed my Apple ID primary email address and now I can't sign into Game Center. It recognizes my new Apple ID but it keep trying to force me to create a new Game Center nickname when I want to keep my old one. How do I fix this?

    Just as the title says. How in the world do I fix this?

    To migrate your data to a new iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud and turn off all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.), when prompted choose to keep the data on your phone.  After everything is set to off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, create the new iCloud account on your phone and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc again.  If prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload your data to the new iCloud account.
