  1. Help with xbox one set up


    Hi all

    I need help my sons both play online one has a xbox 360 one has a PS3. I've. Just got myself an xbox one and I would like to play online. How do I go about this without logging them out! Is it as simple as setting up a new xbox live account with a different
    email. Or is there a different why . Any help would be much appreciated .

    :)

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble. In order to share games or your gold membership with others on your console you'll either need to have your account signed in or set as Home on the console. Click the link below to see how to set your tag as Home.

    My Home Xbox Setting on Xbox One | Share Your Xbox One

    As for the internet useage, if your console is set to instant on with background downloads then it will automatically update when you're not using it. This includes system and game updates.

    HELP !!! I need so much help with this Xbox one !!! We got the Minecraft version for our kids for Christmas and I think it's still not set up right...lol....I, for some reason have 4 "users" set up in it, but I thought I was setting up a parent account
    and then the kids underneath it... I guess the Minecraft didnt' come with a disc, we had to download from the internet, well its not available on all the accounts ? It can only be played under the one account ? I thought since I downloaded it on my "parent"
    account, all the other accounts could use it? Also, it's running a lot of internet usage, even when not turned on...I need help, this has been the biggest disappointment we have bought....is ther a book for Dummies or step by step or something ??!!?!?

    A new Gold account will do it.

    Just log into your network with the new Xbox One.

    If the 1 son with the 360 is a gold member, he'll be able to play too. That is if you tell them about it Help with xbox one set up ;)

    I believe you'll have to use a different e-mail address.

    If your son is using your e-mail for his Xbox Live account, that e-mail is linked to his gamer tag.

    Your router only passes traffic... Use your email to sign into your One. then create a new Gamertag (which is yours) with a new address. Then add your new Gamertag as a fmily member on your One. Voila! you can play while your son is online.

    You'll need a new Gold Membership.

    One membership per person.

    They used to have a family plan but it was eliminated last year.

    There have been rumors of bringing it back but nothing confirmed.

    However, if your son doesn't mind you using his profile (and getting more Gamerscore) you can use it on the Xbox One.

    It was probably you who are paying for the membership anyway.

    I use the same gamertag on 360 and one, had both on at same time and both work fine. You will however get achievements on the same account Help with xbox one set up :) you can however use the family function on the one and add the other 360 gamertag which will allow your son to
    play the same games you have if he upgrades to a one.

    If you followed my post your son would have "admin or parent" rights on your One. If that is not a problem Sign in with his has the primary account. Create your account (free) and sign in with it on your One. Have your son add you as family on the One. No
    need to buy a second Gold if you have no aversion to my first sentence.

    My only concern about not using his own account is it might infringe on the EULA.

    setting up xbox one - HELP

    If FIFA is for your friend's son then you will need to have his gamertag on the console to download it so that the game is linked to his account (the game will link to whichever tag downloads it first and cannot be switched).

    Now, this will be fairly easy and won't spoil the surprise. Have your friend come over and enter in the email details of the account for the Xbox One while it's being set up. His son's account can be up and running on both the Xbox One and the Xbox 360
    at the same time without problems.
