First off, got an invite to google music, but all my music isnt showing up on my google music app.

1- how do i sync it?

2- how do i add an account to my google email? i have 2 google accounts. one that used to set up my phone a year ago and can get deleted as i dont use it. the second account is my school account and has all my books, music and email i actually use. i want to add a device to this school account, how is it done?

1. I know for me, it took a while for all my music to show up. You can sync it from menu ->settings -> accounts and sync -> and sync your music account that way. I like to have sync all widget somewhere on a homescreen - but thats just me.

2. you should be able to add that account from the same menu, accounts and sync and sign in there. BUT i'm not totally sure, but since its a school account it may be a little different since its a google apps account? maybe? not totally knowledgeable on that one.

a little help from the more knowledgeable types here?

ya, ran into that solution, but the music option isnt there so it didnt work! I F-ING HATE GMAIL!
 
oh, and heres what i mean about adding a phone to my account.
i want to be able to log into https://market.android.com/ with my school account (has calander, books, gmail, shows up on my marker in my phone) and download a free app.....its saying there is no device associated with that account.
 
@NightAngel a mod's work is never done.

bummer. wish I could help on this one. once you sign in with a gmail account it should automatically associate the account to Android and the market.

Details would help. Is all your music synced with Google Music?

You might want to edit your question as it asks how to add an account (not a device) to your gmail. You want to associate a device with your Google account.

Is that the primary Google account on your device?

yes, the music is all synced. it shows up fine under the the google music site

and i dont know how to be any clearer with the account question.
when i go to the market (web site on a computer) logged into my school account, it says there is no device associated with that account...i want to change that so there is a device associated with that account. and no, its not the primary account. i created something for the phone when i first got it and never used it as i never really liked gmail. but now that my school has switched over to gmail i have been using that account, and now i want it associated with a device in the market
