1. Go to battlelog and sign in (there may be other services by EA but this is the one that I used).
2. From here, click on your name in the top right hand corner, and go to "edit profile."
3. Click on friends from the avaliable menus.
4. Click on Xbox Live.
5. Click on connect (next to Xbox Live) and log in.
6. Done! Check on you EA accounts settings, and it should be there in connected accounts.
I am having the same issue, i have tryed everything that has been sugusted and i still can not link them, i have emailed EA and get told i am to use help.com which i had all ready tryed so i used the contact adviosrs which they did not answer my questions after i spent half hour waiting for answer.
Hi, I had the exact same problem and it took me ages to figure out what to do. It looks like my xbox live account was not linked to my ea origin account and so it couldn't verify my age and said I was too young!
Here's how I fixed it (without any 'help' from EA or MS):
1. Open up Origin on your PC and log in.
2. Go to the friends list and click on [+Add a friend]
- A window pops up with 'Import friends' on the left hand side and options to connect with facebook, xbox live, playstation network and ea account.
3. Click on the [Connect] button next to the Xbox Live logo.
- It takes you to the Windows live login screen.
4. Login with your Windows live email address and password.
- Magic. Your xbox live account is now linked to your ea origin account.
5. Verify by going to [Origin]->[Account Settings]->[About] and scroll down to the [Connected Accounts] section.
Why there isn't a button to link up or edit accounts in the main setting screen I don't know!
im trying to link my gamertag and i followed your instrutions but when i click on the xbox live picture nothing happens. same for when i click on facebook and psn. (do i need to have friends in order to do this?)
im getting nothing but a blank tab when i click on xbox live. im totally lost right now.
Here is another problem I am having and you seem educated in this stuff, but I have tried and I can't get it. Here is the link to my question post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-3/Help-With-XBL-and-my-EA-Origin-account/m-p/4982160#M127891
I finally got someone on the phone, and the process was simple, BUT NOT DOCUMENTED ANYWHERE that I've found. Adding here to help others.
When you log in on help.ea.com, you get a dialog with several buttons. On the lower left, there are a series of three buttons that have Facebook, PSN, and, wait for it, Xbox Live.
Click on the Xbox live button, log in there, and then log in to EA.
If you are logged in, you have to logout first to get the log in dialog. This successfully linked my EA and Gamertag.
Well, It didn't take them long to change that...
Where's the xbox and psn buttons here's what it looks like now.
There is no window popping up that says ‘import friends’ for me, what should I do?
in 2019 they got rid of the import friends button how do i do it now
If you are talking about claiming Twitch Prime Loot. Your email for EA has to be the same as your email for Xbox live. If you already linked an EA account to Twitch, disconnect the connected account in your Twitch settings. Go back to the page to claim the loot and connect the matching email account. Mine wasn't working until I tried this; I restarted the game and it worked.
Hi an update as of this year I finally got through to someone on the ea online chat, turns out my account somehow got closed down, which was why I could not link my accounts. They reactivated my account for me. Might pay to check that this has not happened to you, the guy said I had done it, I laughed at me him and said I never did that and I wanted my account working again. After all these’s years and no one said anything about my account been closed.
