GameCenter ID (nickname)

I registered my preferred gamecenter nickname successfully and logged into game center. Now, when I login again, I'm presented with a new user registration. If I attempt to use the same nickname I tried successfully before, it now tells me that nickname is already in use. How do I get my gamecenter back to the original nickname I already registered?

Thanks,

MacBook Pro 15" (2.66 GHz Intel Core i7/8GB RAM), Mac OS X (10.6.4)

After upgrading to iOS 5, and syncing the Apps, I lost the apps' data.

I found out that I have different AppleID for iTunes and GameCenter. So following RudyG's instructions:

https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/

I saw my AppleID for GameCenter.

On the iPod, I logged out of GameCenter, closed the App, and then reopen and resign in with my GameCenter ID. Now my games and achievements are all restored.

Good luck!

Tired of all this messing about since upgrading the iphone. Going to remove Game Center as a consequence, very annoying.
