Microsoft Account is associated with a different Xbox Live Profile

DampCandy45784 · Jan 4, 2014

I have two sons and I am trying to set up Live accounts for both. The first went through without any problem. the second is giving me error messages. If I go to download the profile I set up in the computer via a game it tells me I have too many profiles
on this storage device. When I am trying through the Xbox main menu, I am getting an error that the Microsoft account is associated with a different Xbox Live profile, what am I doing wrong? How do I fix it?

:)

Help with changing Microsoft account associated with Xbox Live account

I currently have a Microsoft account that is linked with my Xbox Live profile. I wish to change the Microsoft account associated with my Xbox Live profile to a different Microsoft account, but my current Microsoft account has a subscription to Office 365,
therefore it does not meet the criteria to change the associated account. Is there any way that I can bypass this criteria and switch the account associated with my Xbox Live profile?

Many Thanks

when i sign into Microsoft account, it says "this Microsoft account is associated with a different Xbox live profile. Try a different account."

i deleted my profile, rebuilt the profile, and it didn't help. got the same message.

A little bit more info.

When I try to join live, it says:

Setup a Microsoft account for xbox live

Get your unique gamertag

Choose your membership level

After that, I enter my Microsoft account info but then I get:

This Microsoft account is associated with a different xbox live profile. Try different account.

I am confused. What xbox live profile am I associated with? There is another user in this box but he uses different email account and gamertag,

Thanks,

Sankar

The exact message is "This Microsoft account is associated with a different Xbox Live profile. Try a different account."

Any help will be much appreciated. Kind regards
