    Can't purchase or download content


    Everything on Xbox Live is working fine - I just can't download or purchase anything. All I see is a spinning green circle after which it disappears and I'm returned to the previous screen.

    When I try to look up billing info from settings, it does the same. However, over here, once the spinning circle disappears after nearly a minute I get: "This service is temporarily unavailable. Try again later."

    Very frustrating. It was working fine 2-3 days ago. What's wrong here? I've never ever faced this issue to date.

    I'm also unable to access the Help app.

    :)

    I can not down load any thing rated "M"

    Child accounts can't purchase/download rated content above their age (T for under 13, M for under 18), or unrated (Indie) games from the marketplace. They just can't and there is no way to turn this off on a child account. You'll have to use an adult account
    to download the content or wait till you can promote your account to an adult account.

    Rocksmith download problem

    have purchased foo fighters - monkey wrench, extra content.

    am in australia.

    Is is showing in purchase history, but says can't download when trying to get it.

    When the download starts it goes to 1% hen back to zero and then says can't download the content.

    have tried clearing system cache, can't delete it from hard drive as it's not showing there.

    other content downloads just fine

    Can't purchase or download content

    There was a Service-wide issue with purchasing content so what you're seeing could be related to that. Try power cycling (support.xbox.com/.../power-cycle-console) your
    console and see if that resolves the issue.

    Let us know how you get on.

    I have already done a power cycle/hard reset.

    Are you facing this problem as well? And, is it limited to certain regions? You said service-wide issue, so I'm guessing that means all Xbox users?

    Sorry, I have to ask!

    Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it. Can't purchase or download content :)

    Yes, it was all of Xbox Live yesterday but it should all be cleared up by now - the Xbox Live Status page says everything is working fine (and has done for about 12 hours, when the issue was reportedly fixed). Me personally, I didn't try downloading anything
    yesterday so I don't know.

    What if you try purchasing the content on Xbox.com (Xbox One Games | Xbox)? Does that work better?

    To my knowledge the status on that page has been okay in over 24 hours; however it isn't working for me.

    If I try to purchase from store.xbox.com, it does not register my click. I click on Buy Now, and nothing happens. The browser does not direct me to game purchase.

    As I said, this has been only happening for the last 2 days and has never happened in the year or so I've had the Xbox One.

    Very unusual. Can you please try downloading something to see it works? Download and purchase is my only issue. Everything is working as it should. I'm not even getting any error messages.

    If you purchased any content on the account that got banned. You will not be able to use any of the content that the banned account downloaded. If you do not get this it practically means you can't use it because any content purchased on the account that
    got banned is unuseable.

    It's probably a licensing issue. When you download content it's tied to the gamertag that purchased it as well as the console it was purchased on. If the content you can't play was downloaded on a different console, he would have to do a license transfer
    from his account in order for you to have access to them.
