    Fixing my account(s) - Merge them? Delete One?

    Hi Lostinfantry,

    Unfortunately at this time your Xbox Live Account has to reside on a parent "Microsoft Account". Due to this you cannot simply delete or unassociate one.

    The recommend method of doing what you want is as follows (I know it's a bit of a pain - apologies!

    Currently you have:

    Microsoft Account A <-->
    Gamertag A

    Microsoft Account B <-->
    Gamertag B

    You want to move Gamertag B to
    Microsoft Account A

    To do this, you'll need a third Microsoft Account. This is only temporary, and can be deleted after this process is done!

    We then have:

    Microsoft Account A <-->
    Gamertag A

    Microsoft Account B <-->
    Gamertag B

    Microsoft Account C

    First Up, move Gamertag A to
    Microsoft Account C. This leaves us with:


    Microsoft Account A

    Microsoft Account B <-->
    Gamertag B

    Microsoft Account C <-->
    Gamertag A

    Secondly, we then move Gamertag B to
    Microsoft Account A. This should bring you to:


    Microsoft Account A <-->
    Gamertag B

    Microsoft Account B

    Microsoft Account C <-->
    Gamertag A

    This should get you to where you want to be.

    If I'm misunderstanding your query, or this is not clear enough, please let me know - it's not the most straightforward process! Gamertag -> Microsoft Account Lookup :)

    Gamertag -> Microsoft Account Lookup

    This would be the email address you have associated with the Gamertag. There's not really a way to look it up if you don't know it, though you could try speaking with Phone Support and they may be able to help out.

    Sorry but you need to have the email address you used to create the account to access it. They can not find you account through a gamertag lookup either.

    Xbox won't connect to live

    I have searched the error codes you posted on the original post and found:

    8007065B - The Xbox Support article mentions this occurs when gamertag name change has not applied correctly to your account. Have you recently changed your gamertag?

    Cant sign into my profile

    When this code happens it means there is a problem with your Xbox LIVE account or gamertag. To fix this problem go here:
    support.xbox.com/.../error-code-lookup

    Type in the code and click search. Thank you for reading!

    Gamer-tag says its taken when it actually isnt

    Also to add the gamertag system doesnt reconize things like spaces as making a gamertag unique.

    Lets say for example that the gamertag you want is "I Want This Tag". If someone else already has the gamertag "IWantThisTag" it will recognize that as the same gamertag as "I Want This Tag".

    If you lookup the gamertag "I Want This Tag" it will say not found but if you lookup "IWantThisTag" it would find their profile. So thats likely why you aren't finding an existing account with the name you want. Likely because they have spaces in the gamertag
    differently then how you are searching for it.

    Hope that makes sense.
