I would like to know if it is possible to have two accounts on my tablet - my account and that of a friend - so that I can see what apps she has installed and to be able to help her with other installations - both of our accounts are shown in Settings/Accounts/Google on my device, but I can only access my own account - how can I access her account -thanks for any assistance

    What version of Android are you running on your tablet? If you are running 4.2, try the instructions located on the link below.

    Many thanks to Acer-Blayn for his reply - unfortunately I run 4.1 - but I was able to create two accounts by using the '+Add Account' on the 'Settings' page and now I can open both the accounts - if I wish to I can then  add 'apps' or 'books' to both accounts - I would appreciate if Acer-Blayn could also tell me if the Jellybean 4.2 is available as a free download from the web or would it have to be purchased and then downloaded = many thanks once again

    I'm glad you were able to resolve your issue. At this time, I do not have any information on if this product will get the 4.2 update. If an update becomes available in the future, you will be prompted to install it.
