I was using my google account as the main account on my tab. My wife has since taken it over.
The apps I installed are still on the tab. But they obviously don't show up under her account and as such can't be updated. How can I link these apps to her account?
Open market.
Click function menu.
Click accounts.
Choose under which account u want ur apps to be tagged.
Bingo.

Hi,
I think that most apps using a google account can switch account, just like the market does.

I've rooted my Fire and installed the Android Market without a problem. When I
first opened the market I logged in with my Google account to make sure everything
worked. Since I got this device for my dad, I'd rather he log in with his own Google
account. I've cleared the app data, and even deleted and re-installed. I can't get
the option to log in with a different google account and it stays with mine. Is there
a solution to this? Has anyone else experienced this?
Without access to the Account and Sync menu, I believe you'll need to uninstall and do a fresh reinstall of the market
I've uninstalled the market and re-installed with the apk. Or is there a more precise uninstall I should be doing?
In the Android development subforum here the long how to install market thread has reference to getting gmail to sync and those posts reference another thread with a link to a Sync Settings app. That will allow you to add another gmail account or delete one in addition to setting up sync items and auto sync. If I knew the post I'd gladly supply it but all I remember is where I found reference to the app.
Then just add your dad's email then subtract yours. Then to market and your set.
Added: found reference in a thread in this subforum on syncing contacts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19461785&postcount=2

Worked great. I installed "Quick Sync Settings" from the market. Thank you for providing that link.
I just hit "menu" and added an account from the Market. Or maybe GMail. It was pretty simple, really.
The menu from the market app wash giving me the option. Not until I added another gmail account through the sync settings it did.
Hi I have a similar question but just about the amazon app store. I have been using a separate email account to buy apps than the one to buy all my kindles and books. Is there any work around to have both amazon.com accounts logged in or to keep the apps and books installed while I am on my other account or the other?
I have rooted the tablet and have my google market running fine so I might just have to stick to that.
Thank you
Can't you install Anycut from the android market, open it, create new activity, select accounts and sync or whatever the activity is called, and then go from there?
Additionally can you open the Gmail app, menu, accounts, add account...from here, go to the android market and then you should have 2 different gmail accounts to choose between?

Thanks for that. I tried it and it crashes the system. I actually have two account from google on my market, but my main problem is accessing the apps that are registered to my gmail account. Mainly because my kindle account is a separate email and every time you deregister the Kindle it deletes your books or installs the apps.

Anyone figure out how to remove the main gmail account without having to do a factory reset? I made the mistake of putting in an email address I didn't want to have added. I've already tried adding a second GMail account and removing the primary and got the prompt to factory reset.

Is it possible to share apps / games from one account to another.
I created a guest account thinking that they'd be able to play all the games I have installed on my main account.
Perhaps it can and I just can't find the setting?

Go to Play Store, select app and "install" it. Then it appears in guest account
Of course you need to have on both user accounts same google account.

I do not understand your last sentence. My guest account does not have a Google account. I'd like for the guest account to have games though. Can I do this?

You have to actually have a google account on your guest account to have anything from the market in it.
Topic is getting muddied here.
When you add a second user to your Nexus 7, that user has to have a Google account. Can be empty - just make a Google ID.
On the second user, open Google Play. It will show all the apps that user has (none).
In Google Play, click Options, then Add Account.
Add your master Google account - the one that owns your apps. Don't synch anything.
Now your second user can see all of your apps in Google Play.
"Install" all the ones you want your guest to have access to. They don't really download - only a pointer is set up to them.
Now you can delete your account from the second user play store if you like.
As far as your guest user is concerned, it looks like they have their own copy of your apps. They have all their own customization,
high scores, etc. And they can't touch yours.
This is a really good multi-user implementation, regardless of what else you might read on XDA.
Thanks a lot rm200.
Since i upgraded to 4.2 I searched for a way to share my apps with my other account without installing twice and could not find. Even on xda there is a topic where guys comment about having to pay twice for each account. I just wish google would explain better its newest features.

You will have two copies of the apk that way. Not good.

This is possible if you are rooted. The steps are as follows:
1. Using a root explorer (in your main profile), navigate to /data/system/users/##/. ## is probably 10. 0 is your main profile. You may have 20 or even 30 if you have more than two profiles.
2. In the ~/##/ folder there is a file called package-restrictions.xml open this in a text editor.
3. With the file open you will see app package names ex. <pkg name="com.quoord.tapatalkpro.activity" inst="false"/>. <- this is obviously tapatalk. If you want this app to display in your second profile simply delete the line in this file.
4. Save, exit, restart, done.
*NOTE if you restored all of your apps via titanium backup (and i suspect any other back up app) when you modify the package-restrictions.xml and restart you will have to sign in again and ALL apps from your main profile will be available to the second user.
is there a way to share apps between two accounts? It's no problem for the free ones because I just need to install them from the playstore, but what about the paid ones? I don't want to pay for them again...

Here is what I did for my 8 Year Old Daughters Nexus7 :
Set up my Daughter as the main user
Set up myself as a secondary user protected by PIN at lock screen
Install my Apps that my Daughter may like to use under my account
Temporarily add my google user account to the main user account (my Daughters account)
'Download' these Apps (installed on secondary account) to the main user account
Launch each app for DRM check
Remove my google account from the Main account
This seems to work for me, hope that helps.

Try searching the play store, I seem to remember reading about an app that will do this for you on one of the Android blogs.

This solution seems great, I will give it a try !!
Merry Christmas!
it's not neccesarily related to nexus 4 (it's just the phone i have)
My problem is this, i deleted myo ld google account, and added a new one, but at the "my apps" tab it doesnt show the apps i installed on the other account.. how can i make this appear or do i have to reinstall everything?..
Nobody knows a solution ?
Your purchases are all tied to your Google account. If you deleted it, it's all gone, sorry. ):
Edit: Did you mean you completely deleted your account from Google or just deleted your account from the phone? If the latter, you can just sign on to your old accounts to get your apps, but you can't migrate it to another account.

If you actually deleted your entire google account from google, the only way to get your apps back is to restore your google account
See here http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1212172
If you deleted it from just the phone, simply add it again to restore your apps.

When you say you tried selecting the right account, do you mean on the phone or via PC? I'd try it on your PC if you haven't already.
Yea on the phone....
The installation is not importend in this...I mean just why does this happen??is this normal or some kind of bug....even when i delete all history of previous apps on that account it still shows that account when I want to install the app with my primary account.
can anyone help??
