Dunno what else to call it.
Anyways, I go into my family settings or whatever and allow all game content (meaning all ratings, M included) to be played on my Xbox.

Yet when I try to download an M rated demo or M rated add ons, it says this content cannot be downloaded because it is rated M.

Any suggestions how to fix this?

Maybe this?

Promote Child Account
To promote your child account to adult status
If you were not yet 18 when you signed up for Xbox LIVE, your account was designated a child account. Child accounts are tied to a parent's Windows Live ID to control Family Settings, and some features of Xbox LIVE are restricted.

After you turn 18, you can promote your child account to an adult account. This promotion removes the Family Settings and Xbox LIVE restrictions. To promote your account, you must agree again to the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use and marketing opt-ins. If a parent's credit card was on your account, you must also enter a new one to replace it.

To promote your child account to adult status
Go to My Xbox and open your profile.
Select Manage Account.
Select Promote Child Account.


Note

This option is available on child accounts only after the owner has reached the age of adulthood.



Follow the steps to promote your child account.

Something else to try:

- Go into your Windows Live ID and change your birthdate to over 18 years old.


Or...

Create a new Windows Live ID, with an age at least 18 years old.  Next:

Switch Your Windows Live ID


When you sign up for Xbox LIVE, you associate your Xbox LIVE account with a Windows Live ID. You use this Windows Live ID to manage your account, recover your profile, and sign in to services like Windows Live Messenger on your console.

You can switch to another Windows Live ID if you no longer want to use the one that is currently associated with your Xbox LIVE account. When you switch, all information about your Xbox LIVE account moves to the new Windows Live ID. Your gamertag and all profile information remain the same.

Note:
If you are signed up for Zune Marketplace, Zune Social, or Games for Windows – LIVE with the same Windows Live ID, they will also move to the new Windows Live ID. After the switch, you will use the new Windows Live ID to sign in to those services.

Windows Live features and services, like Windows Live Messenger contacts and Windows Live Spaces, will remain with your old Windows Live ID and will not be transferred.

When you change your Windows Live ID, any Microsoft Points on your old Windows Live ID will be transferred to the new Windows Live ID. Other services may also transfer. For information about which services will move with your Xbox LIVE account, see Checking Your Billing Information, later.

Before changing the Windows Live ID on your Xbox LIVE account, gather the following information:

The Windows Live ID and password currently associated with your Xbox LIVE account. This is referred to as the current or
old Windows Live ID on the screen during the process.
The Windows Live ID and password you want to move your Xbox LIVE account to. This is referred to as the new Windows Live ID on the screen.

Note:
The new Windows Live ID must not be associated with an existing Xbox LIVE, Games for Windows – LIVE, or Zune account.

To change the Windows Live ID associated with your Xbox LIVE account:

Go to My Xbox and open your Xbox LIVE profile.
If you aren't already signed in, sign in first and then open yourgamer profile.
Select Manage Account.
Select Windows Live ID.
Select Change Windows Live ID.
Follow the steps to change your Windows Live ID.

Note
For security reasons, you can switch IDs only once every 30 days.

Checking Your Billing Information
If you have multiple services associated with your Windows Live ID, you may want to check the Microsoft billing site before switching IDs. It's important to understand which services are moved when you switch, so you know which IDs to sign in with to manage the accounts.
The following items are moved to the new Windows Live ID during the switch:


Xbox LIVE
Zune Pass
Microsoft Points

Other services may also move with your Xbox LIVE account, but the services that move depend on how they were set up. These other services can be accessed through either the old or new Windows Live ID after the switch.

To check your accounts:

On your computer, go to http://billing.microsoft.com and sign in with your current ("old") Windows Live ID.
Under "Your services," you should see your Xbox LIVE service. Any services listed with your Xbox LIVE service will move during the switch.
