    Xbox Security Preferences Problems


    For some reason, Xbox is telling me to change my settings to allow purchases, but I already have this set to allow everything and my account isn't a child account either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Can't hear the people in party

    I have reset my xbox, change account security and preferences, and my mic works just fine. I still get the same error code.

    I went through and checked that I had everything allowed to purchase content but it's still not working.

  6. Is it asking you to update your security proofs or your purchase settings? What is the exact message that you are getting?

    The message it gives me is:

    Your settings are blocking purchases of free or paid content. If you still want to buy this, first change your settings to allow purchases. Parents will have to change this setting for children.

    I don't know why it keeps saying this, I have my settings changed to this and it even let me download a free demo this morning so it makes no sense to me.

    Xbox Security Preferences Problems

    So I head to search the internet repeatedly to find an answer that works, but all I did was go and follow some guys instructions on a forum saying:

    From home screen, go to the Setting > Privacy & online safety > Custom. In the the first box, change buying and what not option to only free content, and then change it back again. The problem should be fixed.

    This is extremely stupid that this would not allow me to buy anything since I had the right setting and I don't know why this fixed it but anyways I appreciate all the feedback you guys gave, case closed, roll law and order theme song now.

  9. Did they do it online? They need to sign in online and allow certain games to be played.
