    Gamertag issues


    I changed my gamertag on Xbox from Translucient566 to TekKnight1472 (or whatever it gave me as the #) and TekKnight as the in-game gamertag, however when I paid for everything, nothing happened. I tried restarting, turning it off and back on again, trying to change it to the same thing again (now it says that it’s either taken or isn’t allowed) and even tried removing my account from the console and adding it back and nothing worked. I checked my bank account and on Microsoft payments and it went through but I got nothing. Is there anything I can do?

    :)

    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

    If you get this message and error code, it means the download attempt failed, but the problem might be temporary.

    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
