I recently purchased Android Tablets for my children. I want to allow market access to those devices without also giving them access to my Gmail/YouTube, etc....
Anyone know how to accomplish this?

I dont think You can butvyou can add another account the default one. Then add the account with the purchased apps just to install them. Then remove it. That's the way I do it on my devices

Open a gmail account for your kid and use that on the tablet.
Then root the tablet and add gmail.google.com and www.youtube.com to the hosts file.
The root method's a little extreme. My devices are rooted but I don't wanna do that to my kids tablets.
It's kind of silly that you can't just sign into your account in the market.

You can use a browser interface with the market. Just use dolphin or browser of your choice to browse to market.android.com It will redirect to the new Play URL. Log in and you can push apps to your devices. The device must be linked to your account. When you click install it will ask you which device to send the app to. Click the device and it will download and install automatically to the device you specified.
They easiest way would be to root, use root explorer, remove the apks for gmail under the system/app folder, then uninstall all root apps...

I noticed every time I start my Transformer, in the running processes there is all this garbage:
PayPal
Asus Keyboard (I use SwiftKey)
Asus Sync
My Apps
MyNet
Splashtop Remote
Is there any way to make none of these startup on my device, but let them launch if they're actually needed instead?
Root it and uninstall apps you don't need

Some of the apps I do need (like Paypal), I just don't want a running process of it when my machine starts up.
Root it and use the app called Autostarts.
You can disable any app you don't want starting up automatically, but you want to keep installed in case you need it!

Are you signed in using the same account you used to purchase? If you have multiple accounts on the phone then you can change accounts from in the play app by pressing menu, then accounts.

Try to visit the site with your computer and see if the app is bought or not.

I've asked the mods to move that to general as it's not phone specific. I've also added a method of doing it from the address bar, so you don't have to either use Chrome or figure out how to do the same in your browser of choice.
Is My IP blocked by google? Playstore works fine on GPRS but when I try to download applications throug Wifi on note it shows server error. When i click download, it say country not supported. It lets me download through GPRS. Can anyone pls help?
My father has a Samsung GT 7.7. Being a noob, he doesn't know much how to use it. Device is not yet rooted. I am not staying with him. So no possibility of connecting through wifi connection. I would like to remotely access his device from my pc, so I can remotely install apps and such. Installing apps is easy, cos I have his google email and password with me. What I'd like to be able to do is connect to the device in real time with something like teamviewer so that I can customize his device, access his files load his device with my huge collections of ebooks. But with team viewer android device can access PC and not vice versa. Is there any way I can do this?
Teamviewer has a Samsung only version, wherein you can remote the device from a PC or another mobile device with teamviewer. It can be downloaded on Samsung Apps. Oh and btw you can only install it on a Samsung phone/tablet with stock rom.

if you have your fathers google account just sign onto google play, select the apps you want to install and it will automatically push the app to the device associated with the google play account. very easy to do

I can find team viewer remote control, which I have already installed. But it works only android to pc and not pc to android. Can you point me to a link or something?

That is easy. But I want to be able to access his file system and apps so I can make it user friendly for him. He he doesn't even know how to import books stored in memory to ebook reader.

Thanks so much, team viewer quick support enabled me to access my father's device remotely. Only caveat is that it's a bit slow. But otherwise I can get the work done. No more giving instructions over phone which is really irritating for him as well as mine.

Here I want to ask a question:
If due to any reason, I am not able to download app from official Play Store, Is it safe to download Apps (.apk) from third party websites?
For example Viber is not compatible with my Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi only) device and I have downloaded it from a third party website. Is it safe to use? Please advise.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Yes and no. if you know source yes else no.
I would suggest enable firewall and block unwanted traffic to and fro.
Pressing THANKS easier than typing.

Sometimes I download apps from 4shared but you got to read before you install because sometimes it will say 'this may cost you money' so it will probably go on your bill and try not to get installers because they can be dangerous and infectous

Read permissions and be smart. Go to play store web page and see the real app permissions and compare it the the one you download. Also be smart. A wallpaper app shouldn't have access to your call logs or phone identity.
With that said not all apps on the play store are safe as well. As malicious apps are rare and often removed, tons of apps are collecting important data and storing it. Do posted above. Install afwall and block internet access to shady apps then enjoy.

Antivirus like avg free for me tells apps that requires push adverts, malicious etc. So I can uninstall those.

In my opinion is better to delete it also changing the Apple ID password.
The app was taken down by play store on groinds of suspicious activity
