    Live account email

    All

    I've had a live account for years now but when I set it up I used my gmail email. I also have an local free profile for my wife that I set it up using my Live.com email account. My wife's account doesn't have a Live gold pass so it's just a free local account. Recently I signed up for a xbox Live Music pass about a month ago and I've been enjoying it so far (gmail account)....so to the Issue.
    I just got a new Windows phone. All sync'd up and working with my live email account. My music pass though is not showing up for my Live account so I can't sync up my playlist and such. There is also no option to "log in" to your music pass as it uses the account the phone is already setup with which is my Live account.

    So how do I switch my music pass to be associated to my Live account? I've been trying for hours to just delete my Wife's free profile account so I can remove my Live email association but I can't figure out how. I do know that I'll have to change my XboxLive account name which is cool with me. But when I try to switch my account over it says My email that I want to use is already in used by a Xbox profile (Yeah, my wifes').

    Amazon Instant Video: Multiple Xbox Live accounts, multiple Amazon accounts

    My wife and I each have our own Xbox Live Gold accounts. We also have our own Amazon accounts. On our Xbox One, we have the Amazon Instant Video app installed. In this app, my Xbox Live Gold profile is linked to my Amazon account, and her Xbox Live Gold
    profile is linked to her Amazon account.

    However, once you start the app, there appears to be no way to switch from the currently authenticated Amazon account without rebooting the console. The following is what we have to do to switch Amazon accounts:

    1.) Boot up Xbox One

    2.) Sign into my Xbox Live Gold account

    3.) Start up Amazon Instant Video

    4.) Watch **** purchased with my Amazon account

    5.) Turn off Xbox One

    6.) Boot up Xbox One again

    7.) Sign into my wife's Xbox Live Gold account

    8.) Start up Amazon Instant Video

    9.) Watch video Y purchased with my wife's Amazon account

    From my perspective, the following SHOULD work, but currently does NOT:

    1.) Boot up Xbox One

    2.) Sign into my Xbox Live Gold account

    3.) Start up Amazon Instant Video

    4.) Watch **** purchased with my Amazon account

    5.) Press Start

    6.) Select "Switch User"

    7.) Sign into my wife's Xbox Live Gold account

    8.) Watch video Y purchased with my wife's Amazon account

    After step 7 here, my Amazon account would still be the one authenticated in the app, even though we have switched to my wife's Xbox Live Gold account.

    Has anyone gotten this to work? It seems like a bug to us.

    If you have an XB1 with both accounts on it, it should work automatically.

    I set her Xbox to home. We're both signed in. But when I try and download one of the free games of the month, it prompts me to purchase Xbox live!

    Try downloading it on your wife's profile first. When you switch to yours, you'll be able to play it.
