  1. Gamertag Issue!


    Recently I have made a new Xbox live account with the gamertag: () Upon playing for a day or two, I decided that it might look more presentable if I put a space in between the two words: (Fluent Recordz) However, when I went to do so,
    my Xbox One told me me that it is now "reserved" despite no one else having that gamertag (yes I looked). Therefore, I contacted Xbox Support through the Chat option and received a logical explanation from an Xbox representative who basically said that it
    is reserved for security reasons so that no one else can try to pose as me by having such a minor difference such as a "space" in between the two words. But he also said that since I'm in the fact the original creator, I should be able to change it without
    any problems. He said all I have to do is post in this forum and then proceeded to provide me with a link to a forum that actually had nothing to do with my issue... (-__-) Even though it was the forum for account suspensions, I still hopefully posted my issue
    only to receive an unhelpful email about how I posted in the wrong forum...(thanks) A few days later (today), I contacted Xbox Support through the Call Service and received a completely contradicting response from this particular representative saying that
    gamertags being reserved for security reasons makes absolutely "no sense" to him and that the guy I talked to before is wrong...*facepalm* Both he and his supervisor, who really had nothing good to say, couldn't provide an explanation for me and told me to
    post in a forum, even though and I quote "it might not get a response or even be looked at." (Sounds great!) Basically, they told me to deal with it without knowing why themselves. So here I am today, wondering what is it gonna take to add a measly space in
    between my gamertagGamertag Issue! :() without having to climb the Xbox chain of command. I do not plan on compromising till this issue gets resolved and every passing day that I spend looking at my "unspaceless" gamertag, my distaste for Xbox Live's Support
    increases. What must I do to add a space in between my name? How many mountains do I have to climb before I my gamertag has a valley? I don't even have the option to PAY for the change! Is life really this hopeless? Should I switch to Play Station? Maybe this
    post on this forum will give me some closure. Until then, I am forced to cry myself to sleep as I wonder why Xbox won't give me any space...

    :)

    HELP - DLC not accesible

    Just to add to this, DRM based content is issued with two licenses, one to the console ID and one to the Gamertag that downloaded it, so to use this content on another console the Gamertag that downloaded it must be signed into Live, whereas all profiles can use it on the original console, unless you transfer the licenses with the DRM tool of course.

    Gamertag Issue!

    The system does not recognize spaces so it will see FluentRecordz & Fluent Recordz as the same gamertag,that's why it says it's taken when you try to change it.

    The only way to do it is to change your tag to something else which would free up the tag you want & then change that tag to Fluent Recordz.

    Unfortunately you would have to pay for 2 gamertag changes though.

    GAMERTAG ISSUES

    There's a sticky post in this forum that explains that spacing and capitalization don't matter.

    I can't change my Gamertag (GT).

    Just because you can't friend request a GT doesn't mean it is available. First of all, all GT are tied to services like Zune or Games for Windows LIVE. If a GT doesn't exist on Xbox, it might be in use on one of those services. Also, spaces and capitalization
    are not considered when looking for available GTs. For example, "Major Nelson" is the same as "MajorNelson" is the same as "MaJoR nElSoN". Basically if the service says the GT isn't available, it isn't available.

    [quote user="AnderzoN AK"]Hey, my name is Ryan Anderson and at the moment my gamertag is : AnderzoN AK , i wanted to change it to AndersoN. So i went ahead and added AndersoN to see if it was taken, and it said it wasnt a valid gamertag, so i carried on,
    went to change gamertag, entered AndersoN , and it said that this gamertag is already in use???[/quote]

    Failure to "add" tells you little. You can always try editing a Profile link with all the different spacing variants... Meet

    GamerTag issue

    Solutions

    Solution 1: Restart your Xbox 360 console and download your profile again

    First, restart your console. Then, try to download your profile again. Here’s how:

    Download your Xbox LIVE profile

    1. Press the Guide button on your controller.

    [table][tr][td][​IMG] [/td][/tr][/table]

    1. Select Download Profile.
      Note If you don’t see Download Profile, it probably means you’re signed in to your profile. Press
      X to sign out.
    2. Enter the Windows Live ID that’s associated with your Xbox LIVE gamertag. If you don’t know your Windows Live ID or password,

      see Manage your Windows Live ID
      .

      Note If your account is an Xbox LIVE child account, you have to use the parent’s Windows Live ID to download the profile.
    3. Select the storage device for your profile (for example, Hard Drive).

      Your profile will begin downloading. When the download is complete, you can choose whether to require a Windows Live ID password to sign in to your profile.
    Remember Password option
    [table][tr][td][​IMG] [/td][/tr][/table]

    The Remember Password option is off by default, which means you’ll be prompted for your Windows Live ID password when you sign in to your Xbox LIVE profile. Leave
    Remember Password unchecked if you want to be prompted for your Windows Live ID password when you sign in to your profile on this console.
    You should now be able sign in to this console using your Xbox LIVE gamertag.

    Solution 2: Contact Xbox Support

    If the previous solution didn’t solve the problem, contact
    Xbox Support
    .
