Question

What if I click it to connect and it does not work?

Brady Stephenson

Community Answer

Try and do it again, and if it doesn't work, reboot your device. If that doesn't work, try to sign in with a different account. If you can do that, there may be an issue with your username or password.

Question

I can't set up my account. It says, "This Microsoft account is associated with a different Xbox Live profile."

Brady Stephenson

Community Answer

This means that the account that you are trying to log into is already on the Xbox machine. Check your profiles and find the correct account.

Question

Do I have to make a new profile to connect to Xbox Live? Or can I connect an already existing profile?

Community Answer

You can connect an existing profile by going into the sign in/out page and choosing ‘download profile’. You will be asked for your Microsoft Account email and password and your profile will then be downloaded. If you change your gamertag you will have to re-download your profile.
