I picked up my xoom earlier tonight and have been playing with it but I cant seem to find the YouTube app. It says it is installed when I go in settings, but it doesn't show up in the app list. Am i alone on this one?
thanks!
Make sure you click "All" in apps (upper left corner).
If you're in "My Apps", you won't see YouTube, as well as many other apps that are pre-installed.

Did you buy your Xoom from UK? I bought mine from US and I also don't see featured apps for tablets.
About Youtube, it didn't show up under the apps for me too at first, but when I connected to internet and added a google account it magically appeared. It still shows only 8kb in system settings, so this is normal.

Sorry to go off topic but where did you get your zoom from?
Do a factory reset. This fixed it for several of us.
Settings -> privacy -> factory data reset
Missing YouTube Also
I had to exchange for a new Xoom yesterday. I bought it from Costco and cannot get the YouTube app to download. It shows that it is in my system, but it isn't under the apps.
The YouTube app did work on the original Xoom I had, but I can't get it to work on this one. I'm on my 3rd factory reset.
Side note, my 'Books' don't work either...like EL_G15, it says 'Application is not Installed'
They're not missing. They're corrupted. If you go to manage apps you'll see that they'll show 0kb size. Not sure what else we tried but I know specifically that after I rooted mine the youtube and books app were at 0kb. Factory reset fixed it.
On my Xoom the Youtube app works fine but still shows 0kb under settings menu, so I believe this is normal.
i purchased mine from eBay. Its a US unit that the supplier imported. I've tried 3 factory resets, but still no youtube.
Just to add - I just did a Factory reset on a Xoom that the YouTube app worked properly, now it has the same problem as my new one.
Are you familiar with logcat? If we can get details on exactly what's happening, might be able to help.

funny thing with my xoom (canadian version from best buy) ... youtube is there, but the market shows it as not installed.
also no sign of books
google books is not available outside US.
is there anyway to set-up alerts for apps on sale at either Play or Amazon apps?
There's AppSales, but it's only for Google Play.

well that's something.
Uh oh!! Your Appsale link doesn't work anymore. Is there anything else? I'm curious about this too. I want to get NFS: Most Wanted on sale. LoL!!
And there was no way for me to get directly to the 25 cent Google Play sale unless I went through a link on the website. I didn't know how to navigate through the Desktop Play Store to find these apps. I definitely didn't know how to find these apps in the Mobile Play Store.
Sorry for my rant. =.P
The link still works. You can also go to Google Play and search for appsales.
Appzapp is a newish app in the play store which I use to keep informed of sales. It's still in beta but if it turns out to be as good as the ios version it will be a great app

Ah!! You're right. I opened it from my tablet and it worked. But I couldn't go to the link from my computer. Anyways I found it so thanks.
In case you didn't know Amazon brought down their price for Prime today (only) to $72 for new members only. So I went and bought a subscription. I can get it to work on my Note 4, but cant seem to get it to work on my Note 12.2
Has anyone figured out how to play from Amazon Instant Videos?
or
I was wondering If anyone knew the right combo of Apps I need to download in order to get Instant Video to work?
Side Note. I know Google Removed Amazon’s Original App from Google Play for Adding their own type of Appstore inside there App.
Ist very simple: you must use the PHONE Version of Amazons store app (NOT "Amazon for Tablets"!!!) to get Instant/Prime Video to work on the tablet! You have to install it with Amazons own app store.

Ok Yeah after downloading a few wrongs ones I figured it out.
Amazon Version 5.2.2 - (Not the Tablet One, or Shopping One)
Instant Video Version 1.0 (I havent looked for an updated version yet)
Sweet I got it to work Thanks!
I must be doing something wrong... I downloaded the amazon app from the Amazon app store and it shows the green watch instantly link, but when I click it loads into the instant video and fails with "unknown_error". Any tips for what I should try differently?

Did you make sure they were the same Versions I posted in my previous Post?
Mine is playing perfectly fine. Try uninstalling and re-installing the apps.
They're are some good apps and games in the Amazon android app store
Sign into your Amazon account first then click on this link
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000644603
Click on get started and follow the instructions to install the Amazon android app store. Please note this is a different app to the Amazon shopping app.
Ps This is a rival app store to the Google play store, which is why Google won't allow it in the play store, hence the reason you have to turn off security to allow you to install this app.

Does it let you see all recent added games as I don't like on google playstore that you can only see the top new games and not just all new games.
Thanks for sharing

It appears to, I just clicked on "new releases" and it appeared to be a never ending list (I assume going back in time)
I've noticed that several installed apps that run perfectly on my phone are not anywhere to be found in the "my apps" section of the play store? I've checked all the tabs, nowhere?
WTF?

TitaniumBackup has an option to attach to Market (tap app > swipe left). Maybe try that.
