2 Ipads, 2 accounts, 1 Game Center account...

Hi Everyone,

We have 2 Ipads, one apple id, and one game center id....Ipad one is on TH7, Ipad 2 is on TH9....both Ipads are currently using the same apple id, and game center id.

I want to "separate" the 2 accounts(safely!), but am concerned about losing one of the accounts, and having to start from scratch.

Is the recommended/possible solution(That others have tried successfully):

On Ipad 1 (TH7), create a new game center account, and "link" the TH7 account to this...but all Itune purchases etc are still done with the same apple id? (And leave Ipad 2 as it is?)

Would really appreciate guidance on how best to do the above....I REALLY dont want to lose either of the accounts current progress.

Cheers.

Only one is actually linked to the GC, the first one you played. The other is just on the device and will need a new GC. On that device create a new GC and it will link to that GC.

Doing this should keep it safe. It will ask if you want to load your previous village so even trying will be ok.

This one is tricky. So you better be carefully.

1. Only ONE of your accounts is linked to Game Center. The high chances are it's the higher TH. But you NEVER know. So, carefully.

2. When you open COC, one of the two account would show "Would you like to load xxx TH lv x". Whichever account show this, it's NOT link to the game center. For example, if you open COC that have TH7, and it ask you to load TH9, it means TH9 is linked to your game center, and TH7 is NOT.

3. After you figure which one is linked, it becomes simple. You create a new GC account. Take the ipad that has the account that is "not link" (TH7, for example), log out of your old GC, and log into a new GC, and open COC. At this point, it's all good.

Cheers for the quick reply.

Okay - The TH7 Ipad is the "newest" one, so create a new GC account on that? - Now, if I go into game center on that Ipad, it has our Apple ID e-mail as the login(No pass), a sign in button, and a create new apple id button...Is the create new apple id the way to create the new GC account?

Cheers.

Cheers - Hmm...When I open COC on either Ipad, Im not asked to "load xxx TH lv x"...they both load the "correct" TH for the Ipad that Im on....i.e. Ipad 1, it always opens TH7, Ipad2 always opens TH9...never prompted if I would like to open a different TH?

Sorry for a probably simple question, but "how" do you create a new GC account? (On Ipad 1, do I need to login with my apple ID first to get the option to create a new account?....as in GC, there is no "Create new GC account" button...only "Create New Apple ID" and "Sign In" buttons...)

Thanks again for your help....put soooo many hours into my TH9 (and likewise, my son into his TH7), that I really dont want to do anything to potentially lose them!

Cheers

Check if your GC is logged on in BOTH devices. Because if it's logged on both devices, I'm guarantee you one of the two would throw the prompt. If it's not, something is wrong.

GC IS apple ID. Just go to apple.com and create a new apple ID and use that apple ID to log into the GC only. You still can use your old apple id for the apple id, and use the new apple ID for GC.

Ipad1 (TH7) is definitely NOT logged into GC(It's asking me to login, and has our existing apple id as the username)...so Im guessing that is why Im not getting prompted to load the TH9 base...

Okay - Thanks for confirming re GC/ID...so create a new apple id, and use that to login to GC on the TH7 ipad, and all should be ok? (i.e. I wont lose any progress on any games on that Ipad?), but we can still use our "original" apple ID for all purchases?

Geez they make this stressful :)
