Paid apps TAB disappeared after Lolipop update - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After update to Lolipop my market shows only Free apps and says not available in your country VPN doesn't help

Did you use multiple Google accounts earlier? At least I have old apps purchased using my old Google account so I need to add that account to Nexus and use that in store to install paid apps.

No I have been using this account all the time, the thing is I have mad lot's of purchases with this account but I don't know what can be wrong, My Country was not even listed in Google Play supported country list but I still was able to buy apps, I can see paid apps from browser but until the moment I log in, I even checked my old gMail account I signed in and was able to see PAID apps but once I refreshed the page only free were left (( That's why I hate google ....

Are you sure you are looking in the correct spot? You can see any previous installed apps if you go into My Apps, then into All. You can even install all of them at once if you push longer on one app, then on all the apps you want to install. I don't have that Tab anymore, it's something related to the last version of Play Store.

Well I can install apps I've purchased before they are visible in MyApps TAB but not in General to Buy them Looks like Country restriction is working again somehow

[Q] New Market

So did anyone else notice that the new Market has an account setting? Allows me to select different accounts. Does this finally mean that I can merge two accounts worth of apps? Family style?

Im not sure if you can merge 2 accounts, They have to have a way of preventing people from signing into a family members account and downloading apps that were bought thru said account. If not then it poses a serious problem for app developers and devs getting paid correctly. Unfortunately I dont have another account to test it on..

"Your application purchases are tied to your Google Account and can be installed an unlimited amount of times on any device." See:

It works for watching movies rented on another account, too:

Keep in mind you do still have to add the additional Google account(s) to the phone, meaning the device will have access to all other Google services including Gmail.
so lets say I added my gmail account to my wifes phone and downloaded all the apps I have paid for to her phone..couldnt I just delete my gmail from her phone after and her phone would still have all my apps on it?
The documentation doesn't say, but most likely yes, and it'd be real easy to test it. Just add your account, download an app, remove the account, and see what happens.
Keep in mind, though, that without the associated Google account you won't be able to update those apps -- which is an enormous downside in the long run.

I plan on just having a family account to buy apps on, and then add that to all the phones. But it use to be that it had to be the main account.. I haven't purchased any apps yet, recent iphone switcher, but now it appears to not have to be the main account... which is awesome cause google talk only worked with the main.

[Q] Google Play..."My Apps" list question re: stock/pre-installed apps

Upfront Info:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4; 32gb; MDL version
Rooted & TWRP Recovery using the CASUAL java tool
*novice* android user...this is my first android device
So I just picked up the phone last Friday the 12th at an AT&T store. At the store they walked me thru an initial setup and because I could remember the password, I used an older gmail account that is more of a throw away account and not the one I would prefer to use as the primary Google Play account.
I did some other searching and as recommended I have done a factory reset and then a cache wipe (this was prior to rooting and TWRP fwiw) and then when going thru the setup again used the preferred gmail account.
All this is fine with one exception. That is that the "My Apps" lists on the phone vs. via the web do not match specifically in regard to the preinstalled/stock apps (like BlurbCheckout, AT&T FamilyMap, down to TripAdvisor). When I enter the Play Store app on the phone and go thru Menu > My Apps, all these apps show up in the Installed & All lists. However, when I log in to gmail and then go to Play and look at My Apps, these apps are not listed. Only the 2 or 3 free apps that I've downloaded so far show up.
I've been in and out of the Google Play store both on the phone and web. I've rebooted a couple times. FWIW, it did take about 3 hrs for the apps to be listed in the Play Store on the phone but it has been over 24hrs and they still do not show up when logged in to the web. I've done more than one sync.
Some of them have updates available, so I can presumably get some of them to show up that way but not all have updates available at the moment.
Any suggestions on what to try to get the preinstalled/stock apps to show up in both places?
Or is my next step contacting Google Play support?

[Q]I dont get updates from google play after I changed my google account

Hello, I used tp have two google accounts at the same time in my phone. However, I only use one so I removed the useless one. Then I have realized that many of my installed apps no longer appear in "My apps" in google play. So I do not get updates. If I return back my old account the problem is fixed, but I just would want to not have this account singed in my phone
Anyway to "link" this apps to my new account? Already tried "Market doctor" feature of Ttitanium backup, but didnt fixed
thanks

[Q] New phone, first time on Android - no Apps show up in my Apps?

I just set my Mother-in-law up with a new Nexus 5 updated to Lollipop. She had an existing gmail account that we used to sign in at the phone setup. However, when opening the Play Store, I notice that none of the preinstalled apps (Gmail, Calendar, etc) show up in My Apps. However, searching for these apps in the Play Store show they're installed and give the option to Update them. Do I really need to do this one by one for each app for an account that has never used Android? After updating an app, then it shows up in my apps, but it seems like a giant waste of time to have to sync them with my account.
That really doesn't seem right.. I'd try a simple factory reset first and see if it works then.
Actually confirmed this with another account too (never had signed into Android before). Guess maybe the easier thing to do might be do it through the web link to Play store.

Android Lolipop: One system user using two Play Store accounts?

Hey
I have upgraded my father's Nexus 7 to the Lolipop 5.0.
He has his own google account with some free apps downloaded, but all the paid ones are on my account. In JB and KK I could let him download the stuff from my account while he was logged on his, now I can't. There is no such an option in the Play Store; I can the system's profile to mine, but then all the downloaded apps are visible on mine profile.
Did I miss something or that's how Google wants to play? :|
I think you have old version play store app try to update with new version in new version there is option to select account I.e if you 2 or more account in same device you can chosen the account what ever you want the latest version is 5.0.38 you can download this by simply searching on Google
5.0.3.8 doesn't seem to help, I still can't choose my accounts in the app
