I feel really silly asking this question, but I have not been able to find the information on the xbox live site or via Google...I was trying to sync my xbox live account with "Achievements" in my profile and I received the message that my xbox live account is private.

Anyone know how to change that?  I don't ever recall doing that in the past 4 years I have had this account.

I don't know if this is it (since Xbox LIVE was updated) but I think it's the "Online Safety Settings" on Xbox.com.  Check that your "Game History" is set to "Everyone".

yeah it's under Online Safety tab.

I thought there was a literal checkbox where you could change it. When I signed up for Raptr, they had me check my settings to make sure they could sync my achievements, playtime, etc.

I'm having the exact same problem... all the security settings are marked as "everyone", and still the site keeps informing me that my account is flagged as private... what can I do to solve this?

bump. Having this same problem.

I had the same problem and changed my settings to Adult in the online privacy setting on XBOX.com. Not all accouts are synched

Same issue. Tried everything. Xbox says everyone and all the boxes are set to everyone. Still cant sync.

Same issue here.

I have the same problem. It's set to "Everyone" and I tried changing it to "Adult" too.

so no fix?

Set your XBL privacy to Everyone and then delete and re-add your account on GB.

I was able to delete and re-add my account on here when GoW 3 came out, don't know if it'#s fucked up since then.

Same problem, posted in general because I didn't think "360 Gaming" forum would deal with that sorta stuff.

I am still having this issue. I tried all of the above solutions as well. Do I need to give XBOX some time to update settings before trying this or something?
