If your console was recently repaired or if you've purchased a new console, use the license transfer option on your console to transfer content licenses. Here's how:

• On your console, sign in to Xbox Live using the gamertag that you used to purchase the content.Don't know your gamertag? See Download, move, or delete your Xbox Live profile.
• Need to find your Microsoft account? See Find your Microsoft account.
• Can't remember the password for your Microsoft account? See Recover your Microsoft account password.

1. Go to Settings and select Account.
2. Under Your Billing Options, select License Transfer.
3. Follow the instructions to transfer the content licenses.
4. After the licenses are transferred, you need to download the content again to update the local licenses. For information about how to do this, see Download content you've previously purchased.

After you follow these steps, content can be used by other profiles on your console and when you're not connected to Xbox Live.

u cant the only way to transfer games and saves is by using a usb flash drive or a hdd transfer cable which are 15 pounds to buy

here is link to cable CLICK

It is a compulsary update for your Xbox 360 system so it can support the feature you are trying to do. So you really might want to join to Xbox Live by creating an Xbox Live account and by signing in to Xbox Live, it will automatically install the latest firmware to update your system.

You can't, it's to prevent achievement glitches.

This is due to the fact that you have simply recovered your profile. None of your game saves or downloadable content are moved this way. To move them, you'll need an Xbox 360 Transfer Cable.

It won't work unless you moved from a 20GB or 60GB Hard Drive to a 120GB though. Call Microsoft's Support line (the US one is 1-800-MY-XBOX, or something similar; check Google before you dial), and ask for a 360 Transfer Cable.

They will ask you for the Console Serial Number, and after you give them it, you will get your Transfer Cable when it is posted to you.

Sorry. You cant do that

if you have live and a computer you dont need to trans you can play it thru the live conntion

dj_vision,
The problem is that you have created 2 different accounts, you have to use the account you used to complete the game to join xbox live to maintain the achievements - you can't send game data to another account. Play the original account (the one you completed the game with) and use it with Live. If you haven't discovered this yet or the other account expired get more Xbox Live and go from there.
