Should I Create Another Apple Account For Game Center?

I have heard of issues where a person is doing software development work and they end up in a Game Center Sandbox instead of the real Game Center.
I am doing iOS software development work for both iPhone and iPad. In order to proactively avoid issues where my development world clashes with me as an end user, should I create another apple account and if so how?
Thanks!
P.S. I have apple care protection plan support for both mac and iPhone. If I should use one of those avenues, please let me know.

You can continue to use all the apps on your phone, but if not physically located in the US anymore, you won't be able to purchase from the US store.

Go to this page to create another Apple ID. You'll need to have another email address to do it.

Can you have mutilple email account for game center

Can I have two email accounts for game center

Yes, you can have/use different Apple IDs for game center but youhave to sign out and sign in with the other (Settings>Game Center)

Having trouble making account for game center.

I've already made an apple ID but when I entered it on my new phone's game center, I got past the whole birthday thing but the next bit where it says to make a username when I press done it says that I haven't put in a password. I scrolled down but there is no where to put a password. Please help me cause I don't know how to do it. My old iPhone was an iPhone 3G so I didn't have game center.

My family has multiple iOS devices, all with 1 Apple ID. With iCloud coming, should I create separate Apple IDs for each member of my family?

Hello,
Between my family, we have 2 iPhones, multiple computers, iPads, and an Apple TV ALL tied in to the same Apple ID (the one I created when I got my first device). With iCloud coming, I wanted to know if I need to create separate Apple IDs for each family member (for emails, contacts, calendars, etc.). For instance, I would like to share certain contacts and a calendar with only my wife, all media between all family members, and have home sharing so that I can play/stream content on my Apple TV. Will there be a way to have multiple and distinct me.com accounts and yet share the same Apple ID?
Apologies for being verbose — just wanted to give ample info/background.
Thanks,
Jay.

I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
Apologies for the lengthy response..

No matter what I try when setting up an account for game center, I get the response that this account is already in use. I have tried several times to reset both my Apple ID and a password.

Have been having trouble trying to set up an account with game center. I have several times reset both my Apple ID and password using both of my email accounts. Each time I get a message saying that it is "already in use by another game center account", which I am sure is me, but I must have done something wrong in the initial set-up. Please advise how I can wipe out all info and finally create a valid account to get onto game center!! Thanks!

Im trying to switch the Apple ID names around, and what i've learnt is that the Apple ID has to be an Email that isn't an Apple ID. Yup, it's messed alright.

Previously shared allow accounts. Need to split. What are Risks with creating new apple account for my mom

Me, my girlfriend, and my mom all share one apple account. This was ok years ago but now it's a problem. I would like to put my mom on her own account. She has a phone, iPad and Mac all linked to the apple account. My mom is not tech savvy by any means and any changes gets her all upset with technology. My concern is if I create a new apple account for her and have her enter it in She will loose or not be able to access something or something will go wrong. I want her to be able to access all apps she already has installed via the family share To the original account.
will changing accounts be simple or will it require her reinstalling anything on her Mac,iPad,iPhone?

Thanks for the response. I thought about that but figured I would like to keep it because the login is my current email address. That may be the simplest way though. I would like to know if someone has done this and if it was a disaster or not. I recall my co worker had a hard time changing his iCloud/Apple ID login that resulted in a couple of trips to the Genius Bar. he was changing his because he no longer had that email.
I Will keep asking to see if it is a simple process. If no one knows or ither responses, I'll just let her keep my apple account.

How do I set up individual or minor accounts for game center under iOS 7.0.4?

I have three ipad minis (one for each kid). They are all set up through my apple account with my apple ID. How do I set up game center so that they aren't sharing game stuff. They each want their own game center?

I see dropdown menus for SMTP SSL and IMAP/POP SSL. I have them both set as "Require"
Do not to this if your server is handling incoming mail from outside your network.
Few remote mail servers will use SSL, so if your server requires SSL then you will not be able to receive mail from outside your domain.
'Use', on the other hand, advertises the fact your server supports SSL, so clients and remote servers can use if if they like, but this still allows other mail in.
What should "Authentication" be - "Login" or "Plain"
Do not use Plain unless you absolutely trust all your clients (i.e. they're all on a LAN or all using SSL). Plain sends an unencrypted password over the wire, which is susceptible to sniffing.
what will the client be using?
Whatever you set it to.
The client complains about a correct root certificate not being installed).
Are you using a self-signed certificate? if so, you're going to get that unless you do a lot of extra work. Getting a real certificate from a trusted authority should resolve this.
As for the slow connections, the use of SSL shouldn't significantly impact connection or delivery/transfer times, so something else is amiss.

Can't figure out Apple ID for Game Center

Back in the old days all you needed to sign into Game Center was your Username and password. I recently got a new phone and now it's telling me I need to sign in using my Apple ID. I don't remember the Apple ID that was associated with my username because that was long time ago. I know my username, but how do I figure out the ID that was associated with that particular Username? I don't want to start over all my progress in some installed games, please help

Was the process you used to go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Find your Apple ID'? - if you've already tried that with no success there isn't really anything else you can do.
You should also be aware that even if you manage to discover the ID it won't do you any good unless she has an iCloud account and had enabled 'Find My iPhone' on the device before it was lost.

Is using one Apple Account for a family of two the best way to go?

We are a family of two; at the beginning, I was the only Mc user (iPhone, MacBook Air and iMac). Then my wife got an iMac, an iPad and just ordered an iPhone. Our problem is that we are both using my same Apple Account and ID - which is fine because we want to share our calendars, phone book etc… Is this the best way to go, or should I create an Apple Account for her and then run the option Family Share ? What do you recommend ? How do I proceed with an eventual change ?

Just sign out of the account on her devices, then sign into the new account, don't forget Find My Phone (it it is active)
iCloud calendars can be shared.

HT1848 MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we haev used one apple is/account to manage music purchases. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account?

MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we have used one apple account to manage music purchases/library. I updated ny phone to the new OS version and all her texting is showing up on my phone. I understand if i create an apple account for her I will not see her texts. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account and get access to the music library under my account on the new MAC laptop before I update her phone to the new OS?
Going forward if I purchase music under my apple id and want her to have it on her device, how can I acheive that?

You can continue to share an Apple ID for purchases.
Sign her in to her new account here:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (Keep on Phone if you want to transfer contacts, calendars, etc...) then sign in with her new ID
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Use the same Apple ID here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

Apple ID and Game Center problems... Can't connect to my old Game Center.

I went to play a game and it said I was disconnected from my Game Center account. I go to sign in with my normal username and it tells me I need my apple Id. But my account for Game Center wasn't connected by an apple Id account. It won't let me sign into my old Game Center account now... Any solutions?

It is fixed!

I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!
