Think it may have to do with setting up a different gmail acct than the one I use with Google Play on previous ROM. regardless, now I just have a dozen or so generic apps instead of all my previously installed ones. Help!
If you change to a diffrent Google account only sideloaded apps (apps not loaded through Google) will stay on the device. All other apps has to be re-installed through the new Google account.
At least I think that's how it is...

Yep, that's how it is. Play Store apps are linked to the account on your device. With that being said, though, you can also have two Google accounts on one device -- add another Google account in System Settings, and you'll be able to select which account is active when you're using the Play Store.
[Can't seem to add another gmail acct. under Settings...when I go under ADD Account and hit Google it takes me back to previous screen in Settings

I've always used a regular Google account (with Gmail) to setup my Android phone. Recently I've switched my private domain over to Google Apps, and since you cannot import a personal Google Account into Google Apps I had to create a new one and transfer all the stuff I needed to (calendar, mail, photo's, etc).
The only thing you cannot transfer are the apps you purchased (way to go Google!). So now I'm stuck with my new personal account with everything on it, and my old Google Account just for the apps I've purchased on the Android Market (Google Play). This causes really annoying issues!
I add both accounts to my phone and turn off sync for the old account. Then I open the Google Play app, hit the menu button and select acounts from which I'll select my old account with which I purchased all the apps. These apps wont show up under 'My Apps' and when I try to search and download it wants me to pay again.
I've tried all kinds of stuff like deleting the Google Play data, adding just one account at first and then the other but nothing seems to be working and it's really starting to piss me off. Any ideas?
Hi. I've Just installed a fresh CM9 and synced the phone to my google account. Once it synced it started downloading apps I had previously downloaded which are listed in my Google play account (including a lot of crappy apps listed that I previously messed around with). Is it possible to remove apps from my Google play account? Because I don't want certain apps automatically installed. Cant find an option on the Google play site...
Maybe you can rewrite your post, cause I have no idea what you want.
You installed CM9 and all your apps etc. are gone? And you are missing the market app?
For now I don't think there is any way of doing this.
Looky here...
yeah i was talking gibberish, updated now

Playstore one time takes 1 account and sometimes 2nd account, totally unpredictible...
Any ideas what to do ?
Without a Gmail account you will not be able to access the Play Store.

I'm using gmail account, I have several of them setup on my phone(Galaxy S3), but the problem is that it uses randomly those accounts and won't use the one that is chosen as default.

Have you tried removing the other accounts from the Play Store completely ?

I don't see option to remove accounts from the Play Store, I know it works if I remove the from Android>Google Gmail settings, but from Play store no. I see only Add feature, but no remove.

You have to do it from the PC / Desktop.

I've got a new phone, and both it and my old one show up on Google Play, with the tabs showing the respective apps installed.
The old one is rooted, and I want to let my son use it on his own GMail ID. I've no problem resetting it or loading a completely new ROM.
Is there a proper procedure for dissociating it from my GMail ID and adding it to his. I have a suspicion that if I just change the associated email address in the Google Play settings on the phone, it will still appear on my list of devices.
If his gmail account isn't connected to yours then a factory reset and then add his account and then it should disappear. This means all paid apps would have to be bought again. Idk if google saves the device in your list but you wont have access to it.

Thanks for that - I was wondering how to make sure its tab disappears from my google account - it sounds like it's not possible...
Guys, when I login with my main G Acc I dont get any apps & updates in Play Store->My Apps; I login with my secondary G Acc and they appear instantly. I am almost sure that /data reset will fix the problem but I dont want to waste my time to again import backed up contacts, call & message logs, app data & so on. I tried clearing Apps->All->Google, Google Play Store & Google Play services data but still the same. Any ideas? Xperia Z3
You can remove the account from within the Settings without resetting the phone. I would then reboot and re-add and see if that doesn't help.

I did this a hundred times..the problem is that in my older account system apps were added to the account (https://play.google.com/apps) but on the new account they are not. I have to manually browse for system apps like hangouts, google, google play games, GP music, etc.. and then I see the Update button
