Profile signing out when controller is turned off.

If you have Kinect hooked up and you want to switch controllers, you should be able to just turn off the controller you want to recharge, then turn on and pick up the new controller. Kinect should automatically associate this controller with you.

If not, you'd have to sign out of your profile on the controller you're going to recharge, turn it off, then turn on the second controller and sign in using that one. Others say that you have to turn the console off, then turn it back on with the controller
you're going to switch to.

Thanks for the help. I turned off the console and the controller, turned on the Xbox 360 again and turned on the new controller and it allowed me to sign in with my xbox live account/profile.

From what you are saying it appears that two controllers have been on and then one of them has been turned off. If the person just turns of the controller without actually signing out of the profile then you will get a message telling you to press a button
to join.

What worked for me: After reading the previous posts that talked about additional controllers I figured that was the issue. The game is prompting a response from the additional controller not the one you are using. I tried turning the additional controller
off with the prompt screen and it would not let me. What I did was I went to dashboard and turned off the additional controller and started the game and no issue came up. Another solution to turning the additional controller off could have been to just press
B button to continue without signing in a profile for that controller or A button to sign one in as mentioned in the previous posts. Ultimately it seems that the game just recognizes that there are more than one controller and one may not have a profile attached
when the game is loading.

no matter what I do I keep getting a "please reconnect controller" message.

what have you already tried to fix this?

have you signed out the second profile before trying to turn off the controller?
