  1. being prompted for pin for PG content


    I have parental controls setup on my kids xbox, but it is prompting for the security PIN when it shouldn't on PG content on amazon.

    For example, random episodes of Kung Fu Panda are locked and require me to enter the PIN, even though this is clealry a kids TV show and is PG rated. And as I said, it is just random episodes, not all of them.

    Since it is the xbox which is blocking it, I assume this is an xbox issue not an amazon issue.

    :)

    Unable to log into Xbox app on friend's computer

    Hello,

    I have been trying to log into my Xbox app on my friend's computer, however after I enter my password, I am always prompted for a PIN to login. I had not set up a PIN prior to this, so I went ahead and set up a PIN for my account (on my own computer). When
    I try to use the PIN to sign in (on my friend's computer), it always ends up being "incorrect". The PIN works fine when logging into my account on my own devices - is there a way to log into my Xbox account on my friend's computer?

    Thank you.

    Rob3X555 - Your reading comprehension and cognitive reasoning of the topic being discussed is poor. This discussion has nothing to do with games being purchased for children - this discussion is about the content from Xbox being streamed onto the dashboard
    of minor accounts who have family settings correctly enabled. Further, I doubt the parents discussing this are lacking " initiative and parental responsibility" if they are searching out answers to control the content being streamed on the dashboard. A parent
    lacking "initiative and parental responsibility" wouldn't care in the first place what content was being displayed.





    matchmcmatters - I had already placed the explicit content to blocked on my son's account but double checked this morning as once again on the main dashboard it is displaying an explicit picture of a dead girl with the heading "Rent Evil Dead: Experience
    True Terror". I even checked my other settings for games (E10+ is selected), movies (PG is selected), TV ratings (TV-PG) and unrated content (blocked). I will continue to mess around with the settings... perhaps I am missing an additional setting somewhere
    that is not obvious?

    being prompted for pin for PG content

    Hey lord michaels,

    According to the guide here for Xbox 360 parental controls, you should be able to control what is restricted by rating:

    support.xbox.com/.../xbox-live-parental-control


    I know you mentioned it's with random episodes, but it might not be a bad idea to revisit those settings and make sure everything is set appropriately there. Perhaps some episodes are rated G while others are rated PG and so that's what's tipping off the
    filter?

    If everything checks out there, let's try a few other steps:

    1. Let's clear cache on the console:
    support.xbox.com/.../clear-system-cache


    2. Restart the console

    3. Sign back in and play another episode or marathon a show and see if the prompt appears again.
