    Used wrong account to get Live Gold


    I bought Xbox Live Gold yesterday for my Xbox 360. Since then I’ve realised I bought it on my old account that isn’t linked to any of my save data. I’m wondering if it would be possible to transfer the membership to my newer account that I meant to buy it
    for?

    :)

    How to Join Xbox LIVE

    This is the final step before you start enjoying the most amazing entertainment experience on Xbox LIVE.

    The process is free and easy to follow.

    You only require an valid email address and a high-speed internet connection.

    There are two Membership levels available: Free and Gold. You can read more about what you get with each membership level.

    Before proceeding, confirm the following:

    If you have a Zune or Games for Windows LIVE account, it means you already have an Xbox LIVE account! All you have to do is to download the account to your Xbox 360 console, sign in and start enjoying the Xbox LIVE experience.

    If you have a Microsoft account, you can use it for your Xbox LIVE account.
    Note: "Microsoft account" refers to what was formerly "Windows Live ID". It is the email address and password you need to sign into Microsoft services (including Xbox LIVE).

    This means that if you already have a Messenger or Hotmail account, you automatically have a Microsoft account.

    So, during registration for Xbox LIVE, if you are asked for an email address, enter your Microsoft account.

    If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can sign up for a free account on your computer, or during the signing in process for Xbox LIVE.

    If you decide to go for Gold Membership, you should have your credit card information ready before proceeding with the process of signing up for Xbox LIVE.

    Steps to follow

    1) On your controller, press Guide then select Join Xbox LIVE.

    2) Follow the instructions on the screen on how to sign up for Xbox LIVE.

    Note: Make sure that you enter your correct date of birth when signing up. This will be used to determine whether you get a child account or an adult account. Once the account is created, you cannot change the date of birth.

    Join Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack

    With the Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, your family is given four 12-month Gold Memberships for less than the price of two. If you are interested, just select Family Gold on the Subscription selection screen.

    No option for Gold Family Pack?

    You might be using a child account, or the Gold Family Pack does not apply to your region.

    Here is a list of countries that have access to the Gold Family Pack:
    • Australia
    • Canada
    • United States
    • United Kingdom
    • Germany
    • France
    • New Zealand
    • Japan
    • Mexico

    "Your gamer profile does not have the correct permission to access xbox live functionality"

    If you trying to play online using this profile here ( ilyilyilyilyily ) there´s nothing wrong. The problem is that this is not a Gold account.

    Only Gold members are able to play games over xbox live.

    To upgrade your current membership to gold status, visit this page :

    Can I buy "Call of the Dead" without having LIVE?

    [quote user="NoxiousFarts"]

    As far as I know, you cannot download content with a silver account. I may be wrong though.

    [/quote]Wrong. You can't download anything from Marketplace without connecting to live no matter if you are gold or silver , but you can download content with silver account or Gold connected to live.

    Xbox one Two day trial not working

    Please correct me if I'm wrong. AFAIK, Trials will only work for new accounts or if you are using an account who have not yet used a trial or a regular Xbox Live Gold subscription yet. So if you said that you did use a regular subscription before and got
    expired, then a trial will not work on your account anymore. I'll be glad to know if I'm wrong with this.

    it wont let me play map packs on my xbox

    Hello, I believe the account that purchased the content has to have XBOX Live Gold on it for it to be available for use on your account as well. But I could be wrong on that, it's just what I've noted from previous people asking this same question.
