This samsung tablet is running android 8.1.
It supports multi user account profile and the "owner" account is the main one.
However, play store is missing in this profile and I have no way of reinstalling it.
It does not appear when go to settings, apps and list all the apps.
When I switch to another user profile, play store shows up, but it would crash if I try to view install apps.
If I go to settings, apps, play store shows up here.
I cannot replace owner profile, I can only delete other user profiles.
So I'm stuck now without play store on the main profile and cannot do updates or install new apps.
Any suggestions or previous experiences?

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?
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.

Hi,
Nook Tablet 16G rooted CM10.1.2/Android 4.2.2
Odd issue. Have two of these with different accounts. On one Google Play Books/Magazines Apps work fine. On the other Books fails to sync library (Quit / Retry) yet settings account shows books sync working. Also Magazines starts shows logging in dialog then the screen flashes and it loops back to logging in/flash/logging in / flash, stuck in a loop. Haven't tried market online access yet but I presume it will work fine since I can download and run apps from Play store.
Tried uninstalling/reinstalling both apps, no change. Moved both apps to sd, no change. clear both cache and data, no change.
Anyone run into this problem?
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Kevin
New info.
On a whim I decided to add my account, which is working on the other tablet.
Using my account on the tablet in question (2 apps don't work) google books and magazines works!
Switching back to my son's account and the symptoms return.
So it's not the tablet or the app but the account?
It's odd because google play works fine (ie. download and install apps) using that account.
I need to go to the web based market and try logging in with the account in question to see how the web based interface works.
I'm wondering if it could be due to the account not having a registered form of payment?

Hello.
I buy a moto g yesterday I upgrade to kitkat but adding google account (a new one) I realized that google play shows no installed applications and updates.
if I install some app i can see it on google play "my apps" list but does not show any stock app.
i already wipe user data /cache and flash with the original stock rom (jelly bean) and again upgrade to kitkat.
i made like 4 google accounts but it is the same problem but if i use an already existing account that i use on a nexus 5 it starts to download updates of the apps that but smartphone share.
Please help me out.
If you're talking about apps on your Moto G such as camera, phone, clock, etc. they're not on the "my apps" list because those apps are not on the Google Play Store.
Hello,
I recently bought Asus MeMo Pad 10 Smart and I have slightly problem. When I set up an account on first account there are no updates for system apps in Play Store, but they are when I wipe everything and set up on my second account, there are plenty of updates (gmail, hangout etc.). But because I need to use first account I don't know how to fix it. I already update system to Andorid 4.2.1 and I have latest (?) version of Google Play services (4.4.52) and Google Play Store (4.6.17). I tried also to uninstall updates and install them again but without success. Does anybody know how to fix it?
best regards,
