hi all, need some help, (admins, if i've asked this in the wrong place, i'm sorry, and please move) - so i have an htc vivid. i got it all set up under email #1 - and over the past year i've decided i want to use email #2. so i've migrated all my stuff from this gmail to that gmail - and due to some other issues with my phone, i had to do a factory reset. anyways, after this reset i've put BOTH email #1 and email #2 on there, but for some reason, when i go to google play market, i can SEE the things i'd previously purchased under email #1 (i can switch between email #1 and email #2 while in the market), but i can't GET them again without paying for them again.
anyone know a work around?
i know it's silly, but i'd really like my robot unicorn attack again, LOL

Thanks all!
 
Welcome to AF, madiepaisley!:)

When you go into the Playstore using the original gmail address that you downloaded those apps under, you will be able to redownload them again, free of charge.
However, if you want to download those same apps under your new gmail address, you will need to repurchase them again using that new gmail address.
