SOLUTION FOUND: LOOK AT MY 2ND POST, or 3rd POST IN THE THREAD.
Hi All,
New to the forum, apologies ahead of time for any n00bness. I am trying to connect my Facebook account (not using the android for Facebook app found in the marketplace) through the motorblur "add account" short cut, but I receive an error that states "An internal server error has occurred."
Thanks ahead of time.
I am also having this exact same issue.
Solution found
Hey, just going to respond here because I found a solution.
It looks as if i was really anal retentive about what applications facebook talked to and disallowed the use of any applications to interact with facebook. This lead to the the "Internal server error" when trying to add the facebook account to motoblur. This can be fixed using the following:
Account-> Privacy Settings-> Apps & Websites -> Edit Settings-> Turn on platform apps
This should allow you to connect to facebook. It worked for me.
Thank you! Worked perfectly.
not working seems like an issue with https which is now mandatory for using facebook! :-/

You could try an app called Invisible Protector. You can use it to lock your apps, but instead of the app showing up as locked it will show up w/ a FC error, and you can then use several different ways to access the locked app. And the only place the Protector app shows up is in the Widgets list. They also have one (Invisible Protector II) that doesn't show up at all. You have to dial a command to get to the settings.
For example I have mine setup so that when the error pops up it gives me an option to send an error report and in the next field I just enter my password and the app loads.

But there is administrator under settings but I can't get it setup
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
That administrator option under settings I believe is to enable administrator features to certain apps - for instance allow a find my phone app to enable the GPS without going through the warning dialog, or enable a wipe app to remotely wipe the entire device's memory without confirmations if you lose it.
Ok thanks that's to bad I would love to have a guest account

Thee is a developer asking for testers for just what you are asking for look in the bottom forum section for apps and themes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478321
I think this is the thread
Use this with a app lock program.
That being said, there is no 'non-hackish' way to do that. While the kernel supports true multiuser, the rest of the OS doesn't. The Admin stuff in the settings is for locked-down devices integrated into corporate networks (i. e. you're only allowed to use apps approved by your boss and installed by your admin and your device gets wiped if you try to get around it... though it can be made less strict)
I also use an app to lock thing down. Only I know of

The lockdown works via certain apps that install security hooks in your device -- basically giving them the ability to remote-wipe the device or do other funny stuff without your consent. The only app I know of that acually uses this is Junos Pulse, used to access Juniper SSL VPN networks (mostly in corporate or university settings), though I guess some of the 'remote admin' capabilities of antivirus tools use the same mechanisms.
The bottom line: Your app may actually use the mechanisms I described in my earlier post. If you want to check, see settings -> location & security -> device administrators.

I noticed this post on the Gtablet site. It looks to do what you are asking for. Read down the the last post on page 1. I have not tried it yet so cant verify whether it works or not.

you have to configure the market on your son acc. and download skype again.. the metro apps, i believe, storage the data in users folder.. i have 3 acc and in 2 of them skype metro App.. but i have to have installed twice to work.
sry for my english ^^
The "run in the background" behavior of Skype may not be compatible with multiple accounts using it at once. Make sure you closed Skype on your other account (or fully log out the account) before trying to use it on your son's account. If that doesn't fix the issue, open the settings for Skype and disable the background stuff. Then try again.
It *might* be possible to leave the bg stuff enabled on one account, but not any others? I haven't tried. That *might* mot be the issue at all. If you have Visual Studio, you can try using its debugger to see what the problem is (it has an option for debugging installed Store apps). That might not work with Skype though; it usually hasa bunch of anti-debugger stuff in it.
I travel in and out of the US a couple times a year. ATM, I have a US payment method and address, I'm in the US using a T-Mobile SIM. I can't access country-restricted apps, such as Pandora and Hulu. According to MarketHelper (or whatever it was called) I am T-Mobile US. I've called contacted Google, and they've refused support since I'm running a custom ROM (CM nightlies). Hence two questions:
Any ideas about the market issues?
How can I revert to stock and be able to come back to CM easily? I can't make a nandroid because I have 10GB of Google Music.

try clearing the data for the market app, then reopen it and log in.
Google had me do that, and also the data for Google Play services. By logging back in, do you mean delete my Google account from sync settings and re-add it?

no. when you open the play store after deleting data, it asks you to accept terms of use. i meant that.
Yes, that I did

Google uses a combination of the country your email address was reg in, as well as a few other things to determine what country store your app uses.
That's unfortunate, but how can I force it to reset? I don't even remember what country my email was registered in, but I'm sure in the US now and have been for the last year. I can confirm it's account related because I logged into another account and it works fine.

Only way is to contact google about it and tell the what is going on. They maybe be able to help you but dont hold out to hope.
Yes, they're support is pure garbage. I've been in contact with them but they're really no help.
Try going to Google Play My Account > Settings and confirm the carrier and device is correct. Next, try to install Pandora to the device. If it wont, it tell you why.
As I said previously is T Mobile US and I can't install Pandora. It seems to be an account issue because with a different account on my phone or on the website I can install Pandora

Try installing it from the web site with the same account that does not work on your phone. I may hint as to why it won't install.
When I had my Nexus S in Paris on SFR SIM, I was able to install SFR apps, but not update some US restricted ones, so I believe the market is tied to the SIM card, regardless of where the Google account was created. Other services, like Google Voice would depend on where the account was created (US only).
SIM, payment method, addresses are all US now.
I can't install even from the web (using my account).
With a different account I can install from my phone or web.
From the website it says: "This item cannot be installed in your device's country"

OK, your account still thinks you have a NON US SIM card. Power off, remove the SIM, power on and connect to WiFi. Check the web and see if the carrier clears itself. If you have market enabler installed, remove it, or try a different US carrier.
This is a bit of a stretch, but could you make a new gmail in the U.S and just use that one for the market?

I can confirm this works, I logged in from my work gmail and it works just fine. It seems like it would be a radical step to switch my Gmail account though. Theres gotta be a better way.
I called again, and this time they had me do something similar but slightly different (and ridiculous if you as me). I went to a paid app that WAS available to me (I randomly chose Minecraft) and I clicked buy (it was showing the wrong currency but I clicked anyhow) and then accepted the permissions, leading me to the next screen, which is a confirmation screen, in which the app will be purchased if you hit buy again but you don't, and you hit back and go back to the app. At this point you exit the Play Store and then (without force stopping it) you clear its data. You open it again, accept the terms and voilá! At least in my case this solved it, for some reason...
I must add that I removed foreign credit cards from google wallet (which according to previous conversations with them should have been a non-issue unless it was selected as default, which it never was), that I had on file but haven't used lately, so maybe that was related and that + a wipe of play store data was needed, I guess I'll never know now...

Sometimes its due to dns issue. You should restart your phone, switch between Wifi & Mobile Data to see if it works again
If you have tried to use anything like "Freedom" it will edit your hosts file. Delete that and let it regenerate, you should be able to connect to Google play
