Remove or at least turn off Game Center

I can't stand it that I HAVE to have Game Center. It's absolutely frustrating that I cannot completely disable it. I do not care what my score is compared to anyone, and if don't log in, I end up having to wait for it to load just so I can click cancel. Absolutely ridiculous. Poor setup, poor customer service with this issue. Allow full user controls on this. Why force a user to have to use an app? Not acceptable.

I completely agree with you.
If Apple wanted the iPad to really be useful, they would let you customize it as you see fit and not "force" it on you the way they want. Unfortunately, there are plenty of Apple fans who can find no fault with the company or its products and those are the responses you'll get here.
Game center is a marketing ploy pure and simple. While some may like it, the rest of us don't. It would be simple to allow you to turn it off but that would make it tougher to collect all your valuable information.
It reminds me of when they changed the rotate lock to mute only...after enough complaints they put it back. Hopefully there will be enough complaints. Just google your question and you'll see you are not alone. Sigh...

HT5858 Is there a way to turn off Game Center?

Is there a way to turn off Game Center?

I'm afraid not, once you've signed in with your Apple ID it pops up everytime you open a game or app that Game Center supports.
You could try signing out of your App Store in the settings menu this may help?

Is there any way to delete or turn off "Game Center?"

Is there any way to delete or turn off "Game Center?"

No, it's in Settings which is the iDevice equivalent of System Settings on a Mac.

HT4314 Is there a way to turn off game center achievements so they don't interrupt my games with a a drop down every time I open a game?

Whenever I try to play Deer hunter every achievement I have gotten drops down one by one and takes up a good section of my screen. That section of screen that it uses for about a minute is the area where the back button is and where other important controls are. It is extremely frustrating. I have gone through all the notification settings and game center seeting and turned everything off that has to do with notification drop downs and it still does it. Anyone have a suggestion?

My ipad was stolen in the airport in Madrid Spain. Is there anyway to turn it off or at least turn off my email?

My ipad was stolen in the Madrid Spain airport. Is there anyway to have it turned off or at least turn off my e-mail remotly?

If it was a 3G iPad you can have the service disconnected from it by your carrier.
If it was just wifi, there is nothing that you can really do about it.
If you had a passcode lock on it then that would have been helpful if it was set to "10 bad tries and then wipe device".
Sorry to hear that it was stolen.

How to remove 'Turns' in Game Center?

After updating my iPhone to iOS7 the new Game Center showed a tab with Turns.
On there 2 games were listed. One of them I deleted yesterday with removing data
from Game Center, but it still remains on the Turns page. Also, another game is
listed that I've never owned or even want to play. It doesn't say it's my turn, so what
is it doing on that page?
In Settings for Game Center, I can't find options for this Turns page and I can't seem
to get rid of the listed entries. Does anyone know how to do this? Or how to turn off
this Turns (I suppose it's from the new turn based functionality?) thing alltogether?
Thanks in advance.

sounds like you need multi threading for this.

How can i delete an old profile off game center when i dont know the password?

i set up an account on game center when i first got my old iphone and have since upgraded my iphone. i cant remeber the password for it and so cant log in. i cant seem to reset the password but when i play games i get a prompt telling me that no achievements will be saved until i log in. i have opened a new account on game center but still get the prompt from the old account!!! can anyone help?

If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

Turn off savings center

I am registered with eprintcenter and every week my printer prints several pagres of coupons. I must have set tyhis up when I registered but please, please, please, please tell me how to make it stop! How do I turn off the automated printing of coupons from the savings center?

Hi LoriB00. There are a few methods to turn off automatic printing.
The easiest method, depends if your printer offers a 'Manage' under 'Apps' from the front of the printer. If so, then you would have easy access to your print schedules. You would have to scroll down to find the cancel options (if 'Manage' exists).
Another method is outlined in this next document. Expand the section "Managing Scheduled Delivery Print Apps" and see the subcategory "Cancel and remove a Scheduled Delivery Print App" for instructions.
Getting Started with Print Apps and Scheduled Delivery Print Apps:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02940901#N1761
If you are unable to cancel them this way, the last resort would be to remove web services, and then re-enable them. If you use this next method ALL scheduled prints will be stopped. You will also lose your customized @hpeprint address and have to add your printer to the eprintcenter.com (or hpconnected.com) site again, and re-customize it to a different @hpeprint address. You cannot get the exact same @hpeprint address back once the Web Services are removed.
If you want instructions on resetting Web Services find the section "Frequently asked questions (FAQs)" and follow the steps under the subsection "What if I lose my printer code before registering my printer?"

Turn off command center

Is there a way to turn off the command center on the ipad 2? Often when I try to scroll up on a page the command center opens blocking my view and I have to close it. I would prefer to deactivate it.

Tap Settings > Contro Center
Swipe both Access buttons off.

My computer won't turn on (display). I hear it "on" but nothing. I have removed battery...turned off and on. What could it be

my computer won't turn on. I have removed battery and turned off and on. I can hear the drive and fan. But the screen is blank.

I'd suggest making an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar - they would be able to diagnose it (free) and then you'd know if it's a hardware issue.

Is it possible to turn off game sounds?

Hi, all...
I have an iPod Classic (160 gb, version 2.0.5) and I've searched high and low so I think I know the answer... but is it possible to turn *off* the sounds made by the native click wheel games (such as Klondike) or should I resign myself to listening to them even though very much don't want to?
Cheers!

Nokia is working on a software tweak for the softness is photos on the Lumia 920 (can't find the quote atm, saw it a few days ago). In the mean time some folks have reported sharper photos using the 4:3 aspect ratio.
The fact that the 920 seems to produce pictures that are about 1/2 the file size of similar pictures on the iPhone 5 sort of leads me to believe that the issue has to do with Compression/post-processing of some kind.

Bluetooth turn off - Control center

Hi,
I use bluetooth to answer my calls however when I turn off the bluetooth from control center it shows that bluetooth turned off and the small icon at top goes away however if I look at the settings-> bluetooth it shows as ON. when I go inside the bluetooth option the button is in OFF mode. So there may be bug in displaying the correct status of bluetooth or it does not get switched off.
I am posting this at this forum as I can not post it under BugReport.
Thanks,
ABJT

I am getting below error, I am sending mail to mentioned ID with the Bug details.

Restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

Turn off notification center on Hover Mac OS X?

It annoys me that the notification center pops out on my macbook every time I hover by mistake to the top right corner. It is more annoying when playing games or in full-screen applications.
Is there anyway to limit this on the trackpad gesture or top-right icon "Click".
