Sorry, Xbox Live signup isn't available right now. Try again later.

Hi,

we are trying to sign my son up onto Xbox live, went through all the pages as prompted then ended up with

Sorry, Xbox live signup isn't available right now. Try again later.

So we tried a web search for info online via an iPad, Xbox.com let him log in so the Xbox must have got that far that it created an account? it also allowed him to put in all the parental consent info.

Back on the Xbox when he tries to 'join' it says

This microsoft account is associated with a different Xbox live profile. Try a different account.

how can he log in on the Xbox?

:)

 

sorry

sorry , xbox live signup isn't available right now. try again later......helpppppp

 

"Disconnected from Xbox Live" - only when playing multiplayer-type scenarios

I wanted to add:

When I tried doing an "initial setup" I eventually get error 8007065B - "Sorry, Xbox Live signup isn't available right now. Try again later."

 

Hi,

So you have created his account online thats great. All you need do now is download the profile to your console. Now the profile you are currently trying to upgrade to Live would need a new email if you were to connect it but you've already created a new
child account on Xbox.com so Go to download profile if its an xbox 360 or if it is Xbox One go to Add new and put in his email and pasword and the profile will download to the console.

Now this new one from the website will be new and seperate from the one on the console and you will not be able to merge them. But after you download the website on you'll have a safe Child account managed by and adult for your son and thats really important
for a child when on xbox live.

Hope this helped

 

Hi,

Thanks for replying. That's how we got my 'parent' profile onto the Xbox but are trying to avoid it for his as he has allot of stuff (mainly Minecraft saved worlds) stored in his 'offline' profile that he would loose.

 

Ok well then it's the offline profile on the console you want then the error message "Sorry, Xbox live signup isn't available right now. Try again later." when does it pop up? When you click on sign up now or is it when you have filled out all the information
When you submit it. Does it let you enter in the Email to attach to the account?

 

It'so right at the end after his details and my 'parent' details have gone in. We have given up on the live.co.uk account so have created a gmail address and registered it as a Microsoft account.

Tried again - still the same result.

Also signed up to gold as the parent account (advised by Xbox live tech help), cleared the cache, checked connection to Xbox live - still the same result

 

This is happening to me too. I've spend the last 2 days trying to get this stupid thing to work. Why it can't tell you BEFORE you fill all your details in is beyond me. Utterly ridiculous system.

Short of deleting our accounts I can't see how I can get my kids onto Live. And they've had this xbox for 2 years now, and deleting their accounts/profiles isn't an option. Way too many save games/worlds.

 

I too am having this problem. Takes me 15 min to put all the details in and then declares that Xbox live sign up not available. My son got Xbox Live Gold for 12 months for Christmas, but can't use it currently. Anyone managed to sign up to Xbox live since
Christmas??

 

I've got exactly the same issue. Encountered it several months ago, got so frustrated I gave up (had to catch a plane) ... now I've spent a few hours trying again and chatting with Xbox support (who only seemed able to help me start down the path to a brand
new profile ... and didn't seem to believe me that I'd actually managed to convert an old "Offline" profile of my own into a full "Online" profile with a Live subscription that had full access to all my old saves etc.)

Now our 360 is showing signs of being on the way out, and the only way of getting my son's saves etc. migrated to a One would be via the cloud, which is impossible because of this crazy error.

 

Hi all,

I really need help here -I have the very same issue as the original poster Tufty0000. My son has had an offline (Non Xbox Live) profile on the Xbox 360 for some time. He now wants that profile to join Xbox Live. We have created a Microsoft Account for
him and added him to our Microsoft Family, I then when thru the "Join Xbox Live" process on the Xbox from his profile using his new MS Account and my parental consent details. At the end of the long process "Sorry, Xbox Live signup isn't available right now.
Try again later." I then tried creating a new profile for him (losing all his progress to date) and again after following the "Join Xbox Live" process, using the same MS Account and parental credentials, I get the same error. I now have now way of creating
an Xbox Live Account for a child that is part of my Microsoft family even with my consent!!! Did any find a solution to this issue?

 

Hey there StatelyWriter43,

Sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing. Can you please create your own separate thread detailing the issues you're having so the community can best help you out?

Thank you!

 

Yeah I've been beating my head against a brick wall with this stupid thing the last couple of days. I work in IT and now how to setup and configure a network and all the connectivity tests work out but my son has one game that requires an Xbox live connection
to play it (I'm new to Xbox and didn't realise that console games would ever have this as a mandatory setting, I mean isn't that point of a console so that you can play it offline without this kind of nonsense?!) Very frustrating and I never would have purchased
the game and possible not the console had I known. Sort it out Microsoft!
