    Xbox says I’m already playing on one console but I only have one console

    Hi Steph, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    First, please try changing your password by signing in to https://account.microsoft.com/security.

    Once done, perform a powercycle on your console and then try again.

    POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

    ​​​

    1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

    Home Xbox

    Only be done on two consoles? Or only on two consoles at a time, subtle difference but a big one.

    My son currently has two consoles one in his bedroom and one at his mothers both work fine, I bought a game on his account he plays on both consoles. If I want to play said game using my gamer tag then I believe all I need to do is set set my Xbox (in my games room) as his home Xbox and it should work? First response says I’m right, you say I’m wrong, now I’m Confused

    How do I setup 2 accounts on 2 Xbox’s?

    I really appreciate your reply. The problem i have is - I’ve set the One console as the home device. I have to be signed in to it so the games are available. I sign my son in on his account so it says him plus one which is me. He can play all my games.
    I go through and turn on my Xbox X and try to play a game it says that I’m already playing it on the other console do i want to end that seasion. This would mean stopping the game on the One device. If i log myself out of the One and try to play a game it
    asks for the microsoft account to login to access it. This is the same for my son if he try to login without me. My account only lets me play one Xbox at a time

    Last played game on a different console error code

    Same here/ I have NEVER played on a different console, but today Reckoning tells me that I played on a different console, and now I'm earning achievements that I already earned. My gamerscore on my Xbox is going up wrongly, but my xbox.com profile says
    my true gamerscore (prior to this error). Checking achievements on the console and in-game only shows the ones I've unlocked again, not all of the other ones I already had.

    Minecraft “Unable To Connect To World”

    You’ve got a few issues here and I hate to suggest the obvious but given that you’ve checked your network already, have you tried a power cycle?

    Sorry but I forgot to mention I’m not playing on an Xbox but on my iPad. I have an Xbox Live account for joining my friends. I’m not sure if that’s normal but thanks for the suggestion anyways!
