Why doesn't my GameCenter account show my real name?

When I go check my GC account, the profile page just shows my GC ID while my friends' accounts show their real name and their GC ID. Also, when I try to put "Invalid characters" in my ID, GC denies my change and forces me to cancel. For example "#00FF66" in considered to be invalid because of the "#" symbol. Others can use these characters, however, to add colors to their GC ID's. Does my account have a restriction or limitation?

Go into the iTunes store on your computer, and click Purchased, then make sure when your music comes up, filter it by "Not in my Library"

    I purchased music on my iPad but it is not showing up in my iTunes account on my PC and has not synched to my iPhone.  Any idea on how to make it work again?

  • Why doesn't my lost iPhone show up on the 'find me' map?

    Why doesn't my lost iPhone show up on the 'find me' map?

    Many things can prevent this: the phone is out of battery power, the phone has been wiped out and is no longer connected to your mobile me account, and many more.
    The full list of possible issues according to Apple is here:

  • Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items?

    Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items with an IMAP server account. Everything else works okay but there is two sent directories and no contant in any of them ...
    Trouble is the same in both iPhone4 and iPad.
    Exactly the same account shows everything on my Macintosh. Including Sent items.

    Using the method described above I see outgoing messages that were sent from Mail on my iMac in the correct mailboxes for 2 different MobileMe accounts.
    You seem to be having and issue where your database/setting are corrupted if your messages are in the wrong outbox. I would suggest deleting the accounts from your iPad and the reconfiguring them.
    While viewing an email at the top of the screen, left of the trash icon, you should se a Folder icon. Click on that to send the message to another folder. Page 59 of the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf

  • Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Ask a fifth time, and maybe the answer will appear.
    Are the notes actually in iCloud?  If you go to iCloud.com and log in, do you see them there?  If so, it's an issue on your computer side.  If not, then the notes don't exist on the server.

  • A message is marked as unread - so why doesn't the Inbox count show it?

    There is a message marked as unread (the little blue ball) in an IMAP account's inbox.
    So why doesn't the Inbox show a (1) next to it to indicate there are unread messages?
    doug

    Thanks for your replies, people.
    I actually just created this IMAP account about a week ago.
    Yesterday I deleted a separate, POP3 account and recreated it as IMAP. At that time everything got re-indexed (at least the activity window was going on forever about rebuilding and reindexing this and that).
    Rebuilding from the Mail menu doesn't help.
    I might try removing and re-adding the IMAP account or the entire re-index later if I find this behavior annoys me too much. Will that lose my replied-to indicators?
    So anyway, what I am seeing is not normal? If you go to a message and mark it "unread" does your Inbox for that account go up by 1?
    Thanks,
    doug

  • Why doesn't my Sent mail show up in iCloud on my iPhone?

    Why doesn't mail I have sent from a MacBook show u in the Sent folder of my iCloud account on my iPhone ? There isn't anything in the Sent folder on the phone. Aren't they supposed to sync?

    Does your MacBook have "Store sent messages on the server" set in your iCloud account? It should, if you want the iPhone to be able to see messages sent from the MacBook.

  • OT: Did you know you can change your profile to show your real name, rather than just your Adobe ID?

    I realize this is off-topic for this particular forum, but I hope it may help some readers. Since this forum is "where I live" in the Adobe forums, I wanted top share it here first. Perhaps after some feedback to refine things, I may post it elsewhere (another forum perhaps, and/or my blog).
    As I was answering a question from someone, finding myself again able only to refer to them by their brief Adobe ID (which often seems to have no connection at all to their name), I wondered:
    Do people realize that they can change their forum identity so that their real name (or whatever other identifying info) shows up rather than just their brief Adobe ID? It's just that some folks would much prefer "talking" with someone by refer to them by their real name (or at least something more than just their Adobe ID).:-)
    I suppose some may choose intentionally to remain “relatively anonymous” with just that ID to identify them, but I think many more simply don't know that they *can* change what's shown. You can. But it seems we can't do it inside the forums software itself.
    Instead, we just need to modify our "Adobe account" to associate a name with our ID (which of course could have benefit in other places where our names might be used).
    You can do by going to https://www.adobe.com/account.html, then choose “My Information” (and login if prompted). Then, on the page shown, under the section “My Personal Profile” you can fill in the first and last name fields. (You can also your password here, and it seems even your username.)
    It may be possible that after making that change, you would need to sign out and back into the forums (forums.adobe.com) for the change to be picked up, but if it is, you should then see "Welcome [your name]" in the top right corner of the forums page, if it's worked.
    And now any forum messages you create should have that name at the top of the message when people read it, and it would also be in the FROM address if people receive it as email (note we're NOT talking about your email address. That is never shown. If people reply to forum messages received by email, the reply goes back to a generic forum email address.)
    Hope all that's helpful to someone.
    BTW, I had done the change myself a long time ago, so I'm retracing these steps now for others to do it. If you try it and can confirm that it works, please drop a note here. Thanks.

    It works, thanks!

  • Why doesn't my iTunes account balance show?

    I'm using iTunes 10.4 with Lion.
    I'm sure the balance would be on the home page near the apple-id - but its not there.
    I am logged-in. I have logged-out and logged-in.
    Also (perhaps releated) - when I go to my account and click See All on my purchase history - it says 'temporarily unable to proceed. try later' - but that's been going on for several days.
    and why isn't it obvious how to report this to apple rather than bothering you good people?
    thanks, in advance.

    If you are in the U.S. you can call 1-888-320-3301 and follow the instructions. Balances shown in the account area of iTunes are from redeemed iTunes gift cards only.
    From here:    Apple - Apple Gift Cards
    To view purchase history. From the iTunes menu bar click Store / View My Account / Purchase History.

  • Why doesn't my iPod touch show up on my iTunes account?

    When I want to download music onto my iPod touch from my computer, my iPod won't even show up on my iTunes account.  I've plugged it in and I've also tried using different cords.  It won't show up and I can't download any music from my computer onto my iPod including putting CDs into the drive and putting them onto my iPod.

    Has your iPod been synced with another iTunes Library? If it has then you'll have to wipe your iPod to sync it with a new iTunes Library.

  • Why doesn't itunes 11 (Win) show us the length of podcasts?  Only new ones d/l thru it show, and even then not - when I can use an old version (10) and it shows me much more info.  Am I missing a setting?  Thanks!!!

    Cannot see or sort podcasts via itunes 11 (Win) like I could in iTunes 10 .. am I missing something?  Same goes for playlists.  I often take old-time-radio music and/or shows and need them in date-order to make them work (say, ep 1 is one date, ep 2, etc - among dozens of titles).  IS there is a setting or did Apple just get rid of it?  I have a laptop with iTunes 10 but have tried to get used to the newer versions on my Mom's PC. I don't want to update until I can use it the same way. 
    Serial radio must be in order.  And I have to at least see that in the display to put it in a playlist.  Podcasts that show dates from several years ago in ver. 10 no long show anything like it now.  Nor, btw, does length of file play.  I use it as an over night "podcast radio" and need it to make sense.  aIf I need extra steps outside of iTunes okay.  Just wish Apple had made it clear and it hasn't.
    Thanks!

    Once you do get things working... Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something doesn't work
    This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
    The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
    Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
    Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

  • Why doesn't my iPad mini show as a device in iTunes?

    I just got a new iPad mini and was planning to sync my iTunes library to it.  I've never had issues with syncing my iPod and I understand how to sync and choose playlists.  BUT: when I connect my iPad to my computer, the iPad never shows up as a device detected by iTunes.  ALSO: It will not allow me to copy over any music manually.  I would prefer to not use iCloud, as the iPad and the iPod are the only Apple products I own. I have already downloaded my purchased iTunes onto the iPad, but really would like to grab some of my imported files as well! 
    The only thing to note: when I last logged into iTunes on the computer, it found an update.  However the update did not complete and gave me an error.  I've tried multiple times to update it, but it keeps erroring out (does not say what the problem is).  Other than this, could there be any reason why iTunes on my computer doesn't detect my new iPad mini??
