Separate game center account with a shared Apple ID

My wife and I share an Apple ID in order to use the app store. Is it possible for her to have a separate Game Center account and username? It appears that game Center is connected to your Apple ID and therefore when she is playing a game on her iPad mini, Game Center recognizes her as myself. Can she create a separate game center account for herself even though her iPad is linked or registered to my Apple ID?

So there is not anything that i can do to get my stuff on to a different id? i know the password and all that if thats needed...
Is there any 3rd party software then?

    Hi spunsilk327,
    Take a look at the family member to see what purchases that can share and that should help figure out who purchased what. If you want to make it easier, turn on Ask to Buy and that way in the future, you will be notified who is making a purchase.

  • Can two separate Game Center users share the same Apple ID?

    Two people share the same Apple ID on their separate iPads. Now want to start getting into games and compete with Achivements. Can they have separate Game Center accounts using the same Apple ID?
    (similar to how they use the same Apple ID with FaceTime, but are able to use different email addresses for video calls)

    Creating a new iTunes account does not remove any purchases made on a different account.
    If you want to create a new account : iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    Or if you will want to use it in the stores and don't want to give credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    Or if you are not currently logged into an account in game centre then you should have a 'create a new Apple id' link at the bottom of the login screen in it.

  • HT4314 Have apple got any plans to allow iPhones sharing an apple Id to have separate Game Center accounts

    Have apple got any plans to allow iPhones sharing an apple Id to have separate Game Center accounts

    You can create another apple Id for a seperate device.  My wife and I both have I phones and we share the same apple ID for purchases.  We however each have our own apple ID for icloud or gamecenter as it were.  That way you can share all your apps, music, movies and books but have your own ID for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and so on.  To make it extra clear I have two apple IDs on my iPhone.  One for purchasing and one for icloud or gamecenter.

  • My two iPads share an Apple ID.  How can I create a separate Game Center account so they can play each other?

    My two iPads share an Apple ID.  How can I create a separate Game Center account so they can play each other?

    1. This is a year old post.  Things have changed, the answer is no longer accurate due to how the OS functions now.
    2.  You can't have a second Gamecenter account tied to the same Apple ID, because the Apple ID is the game center account.  They are not separate things.
    3. The OP said they had 2 iPads, which means they can use a different Apple ID for Gamecenter on the second iPad.
    4. You can still creare Apple ID's specifically for game center without changing them for the other services on the other devices.

    I have the same issue.  Young children who cannot get Apple ID's but we all want separate Gamecenter accounts.
    You need to get Apple ID's for them.  They aren't getting them, you are. You can manage these new ID{s yourself. You can even make sure they have no credit card and are not associated with any other service on the device. So essentially they are Apple ID's for GameCente only.

  • 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:

  • How do I add multiple Game Center accounts with one Apple ID and one device(I phone 4s)

    I Need help  adding more then one Game Center account to my iphone and I don't want to make a new Apple ID please help and thanks to all who answer.

    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.
    ^ ^ ^ ^ This is the simple straight forward answer I was looking for ^ ^ ^ ^

  • 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.

  • Can I have more than 2 game center accounts with one apple ID?

  • I can't sign up for a game center account with my apple id email!

    I have seen one entry about this already, but it didn't give an answer. I just got an iPhone and can use my apple ID to get apps just fine. But I can't create a Game Center account. In the other thread I saw about this, someone suggested to make sure your birth year is entered in your information. I've done that but it doesn't help.
    Anyone know how I can fix this issue?

    I feel your pain. I am working on a free e-book project to raise awareness for ALS and running into the same difficulty. We have some big name celebrities lending their Names to the book and are now being forced to explore alternate distribution networks. You are not alone!

  • 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?

  • Can I create another Game Center account on the same Apple ID?

    I need another Game Center account to support my Clash of Clans game. The problem is that I created a Clash of Clans village without knowing I already had one. So COC game #1 is attached to my current GC. I've talked to COC support and there's no way to delete game #1 or detach it from my GC account so I could save game #2. I was given 2 options by support, 1. Go back to playing game #1 and have game #2 be lost forever (which I don't want to do because game #1 is basically just started level, and game #2 is pretty advanced, plus I don't like the name of my first village.) 2. Create a new Game Center account to save game #2 to.
    So my main question is: If I create a new GC account, can I use the same Apple ID (email) for it as the one I currently have? Right now my overall Apple ID is the same email address as the email on the Game Center account and I would like to keep that the same. Is that possible?
    And one more question: I have a bunch of games on my iPad such as Hay Day, Coin Dozer, Megapolis, etc. that are saved to my current GC account. If I create a new one, can I save all those games again on the new GC account?
    Thanks for any answers/help you can give!

    Creating a new iTunes account does not remove any purchases made on a different account.
    If you want to create a new account : iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    Or if you will want to use it in the stores and don't want to give credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
    Or if you are not currently logged into an account in game centre then you should have a 'create a new Apple id' link at the bottom of the login screen in it.
