    Trying to Add a person to game w existing account


    I have an account for myself and have an account for my son. I have been trying to add my son to the xbox 1 we got for xmas! I have everything Microsoft has asked me to do! The last step, after my son has put in his password successfully, it asks for an
    adult to give permission. This is where I choose my account and put in my password. This is were I receive the message to try again later with an error code 0x80a40008. Two long days with this, no luck. Can you help?

    :)

    Reset problems

    @steeledwand7764

    Thanks for answering the first problem I encountered when I factory reset a year ago. Very helpful. Unfortunatly that account is un-retrievable but not a huge loss.

    My main problem is that today I pressed 'reset and keep all games and apps'... I was asked to input my account information namely a telephone number which generated a new account with an email that is one character different from the account I was trying
    to log into, but from the xbox home add profile I could sign in to my account without a problem. There is a problem with reset and add existing account which will not let me add an existing account after I reset.

    I am terriible at explaning... I hope this clears up my outstanding problem.

    Again thanks for the great input. Very helpful but I still have a problem where I cannot add existing account after a reset and this generates a new account with one character difference in the email address when I try to add an existing account.

    example.... existing account email - *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***

    enter existing account or telephone number _ *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. *** (message-profile not found)

    enter existing account or telephone number _ 09876543211 (generated new email profile *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. ***)

    This has to be a hardware error

    Email sign ups

    Hello AjarCreature619,

    Could you explain a bit more of what you are trying to do? Do you want to create a new Xbox Account on your Xbox One, or are you trying to add a child account? Or are you trying to Login on your Xbox with an existing Xbox Live Account?

    Can i change the primary email of my account to an email that previously had an account connected to it?

    Hello again, you will only know this when adding the Alias to the existing account, when trying to add the system will say if the account you want to add exists or not and if it can be added.

    how to add my xbox360 to my account

    Hi! Can you kindly add a little more information to the question?

    Are you trying to add an existing Xbox Live account to your Xbox 360?

    If you are attempting to add an existing Xbox Live account to an Xbox 360, Create or go to the profile you would like the existing Xbox Live account to be accessible on, go to Xbox Live and download the existing account to the profile.

    Please explain how family sharing is different than loaning a disc

    That's my point. Family sharing was an improved form of what already exists. The same 1 person can play a game I own w/o us having to physically come in contact.
