Please help me play Minecraft with my son on xboxlive

I've upgraded to GOLD now as thats the obvious reason i coulcnt use xbox live on my console or so i thought. I've set up on my laptop an xboxlive account for my son.....Is anyone able to help explain how I npw go to the console and use xboxlive? I selected
my sons profile and gone to select multiplayer (blackopsCOD) and it says no xboxlive profiles found. PLEASE HELP

Just tried Minecraft too - same issue - want my son to play and it's telling me I have to be signed in with my profile which I obviously do not want to do as I won't be playing it.

Probably very simple but please help !

Thanks but i dont have a clue what the Email/Live ID could be as my lil son set it up 2 years ago lol.

the account name is - AskingThe Pop

Please any one HELP he really wants to play xboxlive on Xmas

i think my question is similar to others here.

my son has xbox #1 with xbox live account. he bought minecraft for younger brother who plays it offline. we bought another xbox for different room but we are having trouble moving minecraft to new xbox. We transferred the liscense with help from xbox support
chat. We used usb to copy all game data over.

right now when logged in as younger brother (offline) minecraft only opens as demo... not full version and no saved worlds. ONLY when logged in as olderbrother do we get full version.

I need to get the new xbox to play younger sons minecraft data while offline. I dont want another xbox live account nor can younger son use older sons xboxlive accont

thanks

My son is 7 and loves playing minecraft .Please add him .
