Did anyone ever find a solution? I restored my iPhone a few days ago and have been having the exact same problem. Haven't had time to call AppleCare yet.
Thanks!

This had me in a panic but this is what worked for me.
Game Center was trying to log me in by default with my email address whatever@whatever.com, but I had to change this to my Apple ID which is just a string of text, and then I put in my password for my Apple ID.
I also earlier had to change my Apple ID password because it was not secure enough by default and it was not letting me log in, so I went from the link in my email to the apple password change page and I changed the password to make the new security happy.
I then logged in first time and didn't have to put in a nickname or anything - yay
Hope this helps someone - I would have cried to have to redo all those **** achievements!!

Hey,
Olikromberg thanks for that tip. Saved my sanity, 🙂
When I reopened Angry Birds it asked me to sign in and it had automatically put my email address so I just carried on as normal. Your suggestion about it just being a name and not an email address was the same for me.
Thanks again.
Yeah, Olikromberg!
you saved me tons of smurfberries ;-)
Had the same problem after upgrading to iOS 5. With the help of your post I solved it.
Thank you very much!
Cheers

So where do I find my Apple ID if I do not remember it?
Hello,
I tried deleting @whatever.com from Apple id leaving just the first part like you did but it's rejected, no such id. I also changed my password, just in case but that didnt help either. I dont know how it worked for others, no luck for me :( Any other thoughts?
Thanks
