I know when switching to a new phone once the gmail account is in the paid app will sync how can I get the free ones I previously got on a new phone

I'm on my first Android phone so i've not experienced this, but if the free apps aren't showing up in the Market under 'My Apps' on your new phone you may have to add them all again manually.
I'd do this from the Online Market as it would be faster than doing it on the phone itself though.
afaik you can use titanium backup, which will backup up your apps to a folder in your sdcard. you can restore this on your new phone

I've always just let my apps automatically restore but I would like to use my backup of apps with my backup pro. But once they restore they don't show downloaded in the market. How can I change this?

Go to settings > applications > manage applications > all - find market and google framework services. Clear cache/data for both...reboot. Open market.
Wait a few mins and all the apps will show up in the downloaded section.
This was happening to me yesterday.
I went to Manage Applications->All->Market, and then clicked "Force Stop", and then "Clear Data". I reloaded the market, accepted the terms, and everything showed up again.
If just clearing the data doesn't work, force stop it and then clear. That worked for me.
okay guys that worked, thanks. I have another question though now, so because I didn't want my apps to automatically install, I used my alternate gmail account(the one my paid apps aren't associated with) to first log in with the market so I could download My Backup Pro. After restoring my apps, I logged into my original main gmail(the one the paid apps are associated with) and my paid apps still haven't showed up. What can I do to make them show up?

Hard reset / wipe and use the right Gmail first.
Sorry but the first one you put on is the one and only Gmail linked to the market. You must use that one if you want your paid apps.
Also: I know you use my backup.. but titanium backup has a "market doctor" feature that finds missing market links and lets you re-establish them.

I want to root my phone but I want to back up my apps before I do so, mainly just xda premium because that's the only app I paid for. How do I do this if I'm not rooted?

Do a backup from your settings menu in phone. When you get a new phone just put in your gmail info on setup and it will automatically download most of your apps from the market. The last part is that any app you pay for stays with your gmail account. When you get a new phone and set up your gmail info go into market and you will see it say purchased. The catch is that you have to use that gmail account from here on out. If its not the main account on the phone neither of the previous suggestions will work.

oh ok sweet, i already had my gmail account set up so i guess i'm good
So when I went to the market to put xda premium back on my phone it's saying I have to buy it again. The market shows that I'm logged into my gmail account as well.

Astro, free in the Market. Once installed, Menu, Tools, Applications manager/Backup. Ir will create a folder called Backup and a subfolder inside it, called Apps.

If you are logged into the same Google account the purchase was made on, you can re-download any purchased app at any time without paying again.

Just remembered I bought it through Amazon so I got it that way.
Now another question. I had backup assistant with verizon and when I started my phone the first time I got it it loaded that up and put in all my contacts. How do I get it to do that now that I'm running gummyCHARGED
Okay maybe a stupid question
I'm a developer.. but this is my first Android phone... so forgive me if this is a stupid question.
If I buy an App on GmailAccount#1. Can I back it up and then restore it if my phone is synced to GmailAccount#2?
Reason I ask, and maybe this is the way it is suppose to be, but coming from an iPhone I am use to sharing apps with my wife's phone.
I researched a bit and it seems like the only way to do that is if you decided to setup a third gmail account, and make it the primary for both, and then sync our personals after that.
Is there an easier way to share apps within the household? Or is it suppose to be more of a 1 app per device vs 1app per household?
If I can't do both, I'll probably buy fewer apps, especially the more expensive ones. I could justify it more when at least I could get 2 (actually 3 cause I have an iPad too) installs out of it.
Apps are matched to the purchasing account and only the purchasing account.
I believe that's intentional, as it's a bit unfair to app developers for the OS provider to decide their apps can all be shared.
HOWEVER: if you put the Amazon Appstore on both phones and sign in to the same Amazon account, the Google account the phone's set up on is irrelevant. Most really good apps are on the Amazon Appstore now (and in general, the quality of apps is higher and they're certainly safer since Amazon approves every single app).
[Q] My wife and I have both our google accounts on her XOOM. Now that I have my own Fire, if I remove my account off her XOOM will she lose all the apps that were downloaded under my account?

Most likely, yes. The apps bought/downloaded into your account are linked to it.
That's what I was thinking. What about backing up the apps and data with Titanium Backup, remove my account, then restore apps and data?

You should beable to just remove the account. If that doesn't work, tb should do the trick (although it may be considered Warez at that point).

I'm not certain, but the apps could stay there, but not be updatable via market.
I have apps not purchased via market, and all that I get when I try to manually update (need to find first, doesn't show up under 'my apps') is "not purchased".
I tested this out on my Fire by adding her account and then downloading a game. When I removed her account, the app and progress I made stayed but it did not show under my apps in the market. Guess we'll just have to manually search for the app if we want to see if there are any updates.

Hello,
as the title suggests I'm after a way to have my new Google account on Play utilize installed.apps.info from an older account. Essentially I'm consolidating all of my Google accounts into one for use on my android machine, and unfortunately I've been installing apps via an account that will be merged and deactivated.
I tried using titanium backup to backup/restore all apps and system data after switching to my sole primary account, and confirming the reinstallation of all apps, but Google Play still shows a blank list of installed apps.
Is this possible at all?
Thanks

Not possible
Does Play cache the downloaded packages somewhere so that I may recycle those from the old account for use with the new by recreating the cache path for use with the new?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Everything is stored by the Google acct. Once u sign in to another Google acct u can still use the apps don't u won't be able to download the paid apps again unless u on the old acct u purchased it from.
Okay. Thanks any way.

one way is to get the Google Play apk and put this in the SD card, then, installed it into your Android Device.
I am also in the hunt for more Android apk too. If you know where to find these apk, please share with us?
What i mean is, when i first started on both, i logged onto my google account, im wondering now i have both setup and both are logged on to the same google account. well both have different apps etc, some are the same, does the backup thats created on google for each specifc device, so if i formatted my tablet then re-logged onto my google account, will it only download the apps that were on the tablet or does it make a restore from both devices?
I just dont want to ever end up having to download everything from both devices.
thanks

Only the apps you had on that certain device will be restored back. So if you restore your phones, all your apps you had on it will be installed again. And if you restore your tablet only the apps you had on your tablet will be restored back.
