K1: Update Android Market version to latest to get parental controls?

I noticed that the Lenovo K1's Android Market version is 1.0.28 which does not have the parental control/PIN for in-app purchases. This allows kids to accidentally purchase items without your consent, and therefore makes the Lenovo K1 and other android tablets very family/kid unfriendly.
From what I've read online, the latest Android Market version is 3.1+ and has the PIN code setting.
Does anyone know how we can get the latest Android Market?

The Android Market app updates itself as appropriate for each device.
My market app is version 3.4.4 on my A1, but you're assuming that the Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich devices -- your K1 being one of the former -- use the same market app. I don't know that is the case. You may, in fact, have a newer market app that is earlier in its lifecycle. 1.0.28 may be the very latest version of the HC/ICS app.

WHEN it decides to run it does NOT member passwords.
And besides, if I WANTED NEW I would DOWNLOAD NEW!!!

This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Google says Toshiba need to update out android market app so we can get google movies. Jim!

Since I don't want to call Toshiba 's foreign country/non English speaking customer service,I thought this would be the next best thing. I spoke with a Google representative today and he was pretty helpful. He told me that the reason the Google movies app doesn't work is because it it up to Toshiba to release the new android market update to us. So can we please get this done?

It looks like Xoom users just got their new Market update last week.

In trying to update itunes to version 10.7 I get messages that older versions of "Bonjour" and "Apple Software update" cannot be removed and so the update fails. Itunes works well on my old ipod nano but not on my new ipod touch? Any ideas

Any ideas as to how I can update an older version of iTunes to at least version 10.7 given the problems I'm having with "bonjour" and the "software update"?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

Updates for my apps from the Android Market get stuck on the download often.

Its as if they are perpetually downloading or installing. It happens at least a couple of times a week.

I think it's a problem with the market app that is installed. they need to update their market version.
Using a different rom, and market works fine. I'll leave it at that.

Updating retail version of app to match marketing version

I'm adding some entitlement elements to an existing app in the app builder. After I rebuild the app, it updates the marketing version. Do I have to resubmit a new app to apple with an updated retail version number, or can I update that number in iTunes Connect so that the version there matches the marketing version number without having to re-submit the app to Apple?
Thanks,
Steve

If you change the app in App Builder you will need to resubmit it to Apple. The version numbers don't matter, they don't need to match. You'll get a warning from iTunes but you can ignore it.

K1 - Google Android Market Missing Tabs for Movies and Music

Am I missing something or does the Android Market on the K1 not offer Movies and Music? I have tabs for Apps and Books, but there is no way to rent movies nor buy songs through the market. As a work-around, I can go to market.android.com and rent movies and buy music, but for some reason it's not available within the Market App. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Just so you know, I have a new K1, I've run all the system updates, and I'm not rooted.
Thanks in advance.

That explains the versioning of the Android Market app on K1. I thought it was odd that it was 1.0.28... whereas Google support always refer to version to Android Market version 3.3+.
I've been looking for the latest Market to get the PIN/parental controls. On a side-note/rant -- With the existing Android Market, my younger one has already made some in-app purchase charges playing with a game from GAMEVIL (BTW for K1 owners DO NOT DOWNLOAD GAMEVIL games ie AirPenguin if you have young ones. Their games make it easy to purchase items and they were not refunding it. Apparently I'm not alone if you look at the 1 start reviews. I've already lost $$$ which I'm trying to get back... In the meantime I advise anyone with Google Wallet accounts to remove their Credit Card)
Lenovo, please put an updated version of Android Market in your next update!!

K1 and Android Market Movie Rentals

Have anyone had any luck getting the Android Market to allow you to download their app "Videos" and use it for movie rentals? When I contact Lenovo, they indicate that they have certified with Google and it's Google's issue. I have lobbed an email into Google, but not heard back.
They have a great service since they will let you download and view the movie offline as long as you do it within 24 hours. Excellent for travelers that fly alot.

How to access Android Market with OS 2.0.0.7971

It is not obvious to me how to access the Android Market with the latest Playbook software update. Would someone please enlighten me?

There is no access to the full Android Marketplace, instead, developers repackage their android apps and submit them to Blackberry's App World. So to the end user, there is no difference between an android app and a true blackberry app.

How do you upgrade Android Market?

I downloaded the Norton Security app and clicked on its offer to upgrade to the full version. It said I could not unless I have Android Market version 5 or higher. So I hit Settings, Apps, Android Market, and saw that my brand new Samsung Galaxy Nexus came with Android Market version 3.4.4. So, I have been struggling ever since to learn how to upgrade Android Market. Google technical support told me to open Android Market, switch to my Home screen, and wait 20 minutes for Android Market to upgrade itself. Didn't work. Somebody please solve this problem!

Hello buddybones,
Sorry for any confusion concerning the Market application on your Nexus. I am glad to assist!
Thanks to all of the Community members for the great feedback! Just as mentioned already, the Market version 3.4.4 you currently have on your Galaxy Nexus is the most current version. I would suggest reaching out to the application developer to advise them the application update is not available for your version.
I hope I have answered your questions, and have addressed your concerns.
Thanks,

K1 Android Market PLEASE UPDATE THIS!!!!

Please update the android market!! I am sick of finding incompatible apps, that if I download the apk from another market or site I can install and work fine. This device is being limited by Lenovo market from the sounds of it, which in turn google will not update to the current market. I really want movies and music via my google account. Why do you advertise the android market when it is limited.

I posted this in another thread but thought it would be more appropriate here.
So it gets more interesting. After manually installing the Market APK I've noticed the following:
1. Going to Settings -> Manage Applications -> All, I can see two Market versions! The original one (v 1.0.28) as well as new. Ttere must be something unique about the original Lenovo version since there's no way to uninstall it and it's not being replaced.
2. There's only one Market in the app drawer. That market always takes me to the original Market.
3. To get to the new Market, I have to launch the old Market, click on 'My Apps'.
4. You can set the PIN control from the new market.
5. New Market has Apps, Music, and Books.
6. But still no Videos...

My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?
If so then:
