Same thing happened to me, but i fixed it.
At the dashboard, go to system settings, choose memory, then where it tells you to choose a memory device, click "y", then click " Clear System Cache".
This is what worked for me. This does not delete anything. All it does is make everything flow easier and fix problems with games that might have saved wrong or anything like that.
Try that and let me know if it fixed your problem.

I've done that countless times before to remove patches, I'll try it again after this match and tell you if it worked.

EDIT: It didn't work.

Iv got the same problem black ops not saving anything and it does not show up in recently played games either, iv cleared the HDD cache and also tried to get it to save to a memory stick nothing works, anyone know how to fix this issue?

Have you guys tried calling tech support? 1-800-225-6588

Iv got black ops saving now but had to create a new profile and live account, i think the reason for the game not saving was to do with the profiles being edited with game saves edited also i cant remember what programs i used at the time but had edited gamer scores and MW2 game saves, what i did was move the profiles from the hhd to a usb memory stick took the stick out of the xbox then set up the new profile with the one months free gold membership (learnt that trick here) and all seems to be fine now, im guessing i must have done something wrong when i was messing about with the profiles and game saves.

Anyone else with black ops not saving edited their profiles or game saves?

Try a different save device.
Such as a usb.

Had already tried that never worked

this has happened to me, but my profile was like semi-corrupted. I could still go on it, but it wouldn't save any settings (like you), and I got lucky and it got fixed when I modded something (modding ftw)

Could you recommend a way of trying to fix the profiles iv messed up?
