My son has been playing clash of clans on my iPad. I tried to transfer it to his Android tablet but it's saying that the COC is attached to the wrong Game Center account. How do I find out which Game Center account it's referring to?
since this seems CoC specific and is actually an Android issue, you might check > http://forum.supercell.net/forumdisplay.php/4-Clash-of-Clans
Since it's a game center account issue, they ask you to reach out to Apple to recover the account.
If he is playing it on your iPad, then presumably you used your Apple ID to download/purchase it? If that is the case, you cannot transfer it to his account - no matter if that would be an Apple ID or Android account - as anything obtained at the app store is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it. It is not transferable.
here's how I see your problem...
he played CoC as you on your iPad, tying the CoC Game Center data to frances0518. Now he is trying to get to that same data as [ sonOFfrances ] AppleID?
Even Apple cannot merge AppleID accounts or their data.

at the bottom of that page:
iOS-Android or vice versa
Make sure you’ve installed the game on both devices, keeping them both on-hand. Use the ‘Link a device' feature in the in-game settings, then press ‘Link a device' on both. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the transfer.
This feature cannot be reused. Following use of the 'Link a device' feature, your game will be connected to both Game Center and Google+. In the future, you’ll be able to use those services to connect your village to further devices. This is why you only can only use 'Link a device' once.
voila !?!
ÇÇÇ
Thanks for your response. The problem is his COC is not tied to my game center account but I have no clue which Game Center account his village is attached to.
frances - that last info baffling
Are you saying that he played CoC ON your iPad as an some user other than yourself? and he is unable to tell you what user that was? Is it possible that he played the game as "not logged in"? (my son doesn't play CoC but does play a "Hobbit" game where it is possible to play as a guest that is tied to the device itself. In other words, he could have a game going as himself AND as a guest0123456 (not playing simultaneously, of course)
How about this... can your son still get to his game on your iPad? Would that not let you know the account?
I have a similar problem.
I play Modern War on my iPad and iPhone. I have both accts linked through game center.
A few days ago, the game on my iPad was NOT my game at all. It had connected to my friend's game that's on a different iPad using a different game center. I didn't think that was possible.
I want my game back on my iPad.
My game center profile is marmeaux
My iPad Version: 8.4
Model: MC769LL/A
Serial Number: DR********FHW
Information from a message sent to Gree aka Modern War
Game Center: G:124052273
Device ID: D56CA021-1E6D-4144-8AAF-A2376EFDFB9B
Device: iPad 2 (Wifi)
My Player ID with Modern War is ******
I've tried deleting the app and re-installing it but the info in iCloud is my friend's game, not mine
Please tell me what can be done to get my game back.
Thanks
Marlene

Wrong Game Center account for COC?
