  1. Help a mom with accounts and limits


    The xbox is my son's and he is almost 12. But when it was set up, it is all under my name and he has a user name. This means that he is actually 43 b/c I am 43. I want to keep his username and all that goes with it, but I want to make a child account
    for him and have mine as the adults. The whole point is that I'm trying to set screen time limits and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing! Every time I click on something on the laptop to help, it takes me somewhere else to click on. I need help!!!!
    Thanks!

    :)

    One live account or two? Or three?

    I am a very new to gaming Mom who bought my kids (9 and 12) a 360 for Christmas. They wanted it mainly to play Minecraft online with their friends. Can someone please explain to me the limits of both of them playing on the one Gold account I bought? We
    only have one box, so what would be the advantage of them each having their own account versus sharing one? Thanks for the help!

    Need Help With Account > im unsure of what to do <

    If your account is set as a child account the you're limited to what you can do. Best bet is ask mom and see if you can talk her through making a new email account so you have something to link to.

    The 4gb is internal flash memory and not a hard drive. He would need a hard drive in order to download the content. You don't necessarily need to buy him a whole new console. There are 250gb and 320gb hard drives available for purchase that you can add to
    his existing console.

    Hi,

    To give you an idea, any item that you will purchase within the game are non-transferable. If you're going to purchase an in-game item, you will need to use the account who will use it in the game. This means that you will need to use the child account to
    purchase the Robux item so that you can ensure that it will show up on his game. Regarding your concern, did you purchase it using the parent Microsoft account? If so, the license of it was applied to your own account and it can't be transferred to the child
    account. In this case, we suggest that you contact our Xbox Support team so that they can provide you options on how to correct this issue and assist you on how to purchase the item using the child account. You may refer to this
    link to reach them.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    The best thing you can do is check his games list and veiw the most recent played games achievement list and see if there was a recent date on any achievements. There won't be a time though.

    -

    Also through the parental controls settings on the xbox you can set up the family timer which limits the amount of time xbox can be on per day/week etc. Some info on that here:

    I am not sure why no one has replied to this thread yet. I am sorry on behalf of all the Ambassadors and staff. Unfortunately, some technology is so complicated today that consumers are not able to service them, so only the people who make them (in your
    case, Microsoft) make them. I think the only way to get it fixed would be to send it down to Seattle. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Sometimes new tech can not work the way we want.

    Thanks
