Stumped!

I did recently remove it thinking I could add it back later but clearly I was wrong. LOL

Hi Miguel.

If you don’t see the data in iCloud, then it’s likely stored locally on the individual device.

Hi Sandra,

Sorry about your trouble with games on your iPad.

When you play these games, do you see a Welcome Back banner when you launch the game? If so, that means they are also connected to your Game Center account (your Apple ID).

What might work for you is completely signing out of Game Center–go to Settings > Game Center > then toggle it off–that should sign you out.

Once you sign out, close all open apps and restart your iPad:

1. On an iPhone or an iPad with no home button from the Home screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause slightly in the middle of the screen
2. On an iDevice with a home button, double-click the Home button and swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close
3. Swipe right or left to locate the app you want to close
4. Swipe up on the app’s preview to close it
5. Repeat for all apps
6. Restart your iPad

After restarting, try playing your games with your various Facebook accounts. We also recommend storing all your facebook credentials in Passwords & Accounts so it’s easy to change between them.

Keep us posted if this works (or not)

On my computer, I switch accounts from one to another almost every hour with no problem, getting the game I want with the account it is under.

However, I tried switching Facebook accounts on my iPad, which I can do also, but the games from the primary account holder are still on the secondary account and if I log out and I open a third account, the same primary account game is still on, not the third account’s games.

I have been reading about Game Center and because I am using ONE device, this iPad which is iPad iOS 12.

How can I use one device for three different facebook accounts?

These games will not be compatible with Windows Desktop because of browser issues. Apple does not have this issue.

Thank you

Hi Kellie,

There is no list of games that use Game Center (at least, not that we know of.)

If a game supports Game Center, you see the Welcome Back Game Center banner when opening the game.

To find out what games you already purchased or used, open the app store and navigate to your purchased apps section–that shows you all the apps you’ve purchased using that Apple ID.

To see what games are installed on your device, go to Settings > General > Storage and scroll through the list of apps installed on your iDevice.

Sorry, we can’t offer more help on locating what games you have.

HI Henry,

Your Game Center account is your Apple ID. You can always create a new Apple ID on a Mac, Windows PC, or and iPhone/iPad/iPod–however, iDevices are limited on the number of Apple IDs each device and its corresponding serial number can create.

You can only CREATE up to 3 new Apple IDs on each of your iOS devices.

It says ‘ update your account’ stating there was ‘ an error communicating with the server’.

I’ve updated my Game Center account, turned my iPad off then on and force closed it, what could be the problem?

I’m also having an issue connecting to a game I play for cash, could this be connected?

If so can you please help fix the issue. Many thanks

Hi Teri,

Check if your iPhone and iPad are signed in with the same Apple ID and have Game Center toggled on in iCloud–go to Settings > Apple ID Profile > iCloud > Game Center. If it’s toggled off on either device, toggle it on so both devices have this setting on.

On each device go to Settings > Game Center and toggle on Nearby Players.

Then, close all open apps, in particular, Hay Day, by double pressing the Home button or swiping up the Home Gesture Bar and swiping up off the top of your screen all open apps–do this for both the iPhone and iPad.

Then restart both devices by powering off, waiting 20-30 seconds, and powering back on.

If you still don’t see your friends on your iPad, try reinviting them.

Open Hay Day. And Invite Friends via the Game App

Choose to send the invitation to join the game via iMessage

They are all on my iPhone in Hay Day. How can I fix this?

Hi Sandra,

First, make sure you are signed into Game Center (settings > Game Center and verify it’s on and connected to the correct Apple ID.

Then open the App Store and search for Hay Day there. Download and install it.

Or, if you like to see your previous app purchase, open the App Store, tap the Today tab at the bottom, then tap the profile icon in the upper-right corner. From the menu, choose Purchased > My Purchases (or a Family member if that’s applicable) and locate Hay Day–tap the cloud to install.

With the change of the Game Center I can’t get on to most of my games to open and the few I can I have lost everything.

It requires me to keep entering my passwords every time.

Since the update when I try to read emails it’s loading the emails but then closes itself out.

We have turned it off and on with no luck.

Most of us game with complete strangers as gaming buddies, not as friends we know IRL (in real life)! Most of my friends would not be interested in the games I play. Sending them a random invite would be pointless and unwelcome.

Apple needs to reintroduce allowing us to give out our Game Center ID so that we can connect with people all over the world who like to play the same games as we do.

This new system is absolutely pointless and broken.
