Same here too
Yeah, if you read the comments you'll see a lot of complaints about it. They say its Google's fault, but no other apps are having this issue.
I will post it on my dropbox so all can download if anyone wants it

Might be just a Market network issue, but a lot of the time when this happens to me, I force stop the Market, clear cache and reboot. That usually fixes it for me. Sometimes I think its just the app or the market and you just have to try again later.

I've had issues with hanging downloads from the market, but after 10 minutes or so they download. Some go immediately, as they should, but some seem to hang up.

Try appbrain app market
I had this issue with the new gmail app so i just used appbrain app market and searched for it and downloaded it from there and installed it.
Any time a download hangs, I wait a few minutes and if it still doesn't start I just reboot. The majority of the time this fixes it

Yup....I though the same thing, and all of a sudden, they changed the version on the market and it downloaded just fine. Originally, they released 1.0 and the version now is 1.0.0.1, so I think it was their issue. You guys should be able to download this now without a problem......I just did.
When apps don't download/install properly I go into the sd card under /download and the .apk is usually there. Deleting it and re-downloading or installing from the apk works for me.

Been getting this the whole night trying to go to my "downloads" section in the market place.
"A sever error has occured. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."
Random.. stumped.. anyone else getting this? server error possibly?
I think it may be my fault because I cleared out my market data in my app settings. Or just a coincidence that the market's half bugged tonight
Same here, I can't access the download section in Market either. Maybe there's something wrong with the servers.

Lots of people have been reporting this tonight. I got the server error when trying to access my downloads, but it worked when I hit retry.
This is Google's problem and has nothing to do with our phones.
Getting the same error, nothing I do bypasses it.

Still experiencing this. The rest of the market is working fine and still lets me search and download apps. I just cant access the downloads page. All other Google apps seem to be working properly as well.
I think google is applying a system/security update on the market. Notice that all paid apps are inaccessible.
At some point after updating to Froyo EC05, some of my installed Market apps when clicked on only show "The Requested Item Could Not Be Found." Seems to be the same apps, both paid and free, each time.
The weird thing is that if I search for them and then click on the result I can go to the app just fine. I even thought I had fixed the issue by opening the app from within Market. That seemed to make the link work in "My Apps" again. But when relaunching Market the links don't work after that. What could be the solution? I tried clearing the Market cache and rebooting but that had no effect.
You said you cleared market cache, did you also clear market data?

Is it safe to do that, since it warns about permanent deletion? (If it's all linked to my google account but still...)
It is perfectly fine, it will just require you to accept the T&C of the market again.

Do you have auto updating enabled for the market app?

I think yes, although I don't know where that setting is (does it even exist?). Its at the latest version I believe, 2.3.4, and it updated to that both on Eclair and then again shortly after first boot to EC05 since the market was oddly enough an older version at first.
This happened with me once. I couldn't figure out why. It was an app that needed to be updated, so I wanted to read the change log. Long story short, I ended up searching it, and updating it after I read it.

That's strange about needing to update one app which seems to hold back all the others...?
Well, I'm now seeing apps I actually installed disappear from the My Apps list entirely. This is weird and disconcerting, even though again they do show up if I search. ETA: well, I did find a missing app that had apparently been updated. While after un/reinstalling it made the other missing app(s) return, the same apps still give the error when clicked on.
Maybe the issue is on The Big G's end? I remember they had some market problems that made stuff unable to d/l and install months ago and all the tweaks I did to fix it had no effect until it just resolved itself somehow.

I had the same exact experience. I tried everything you tried... without success. I even Odin'd back to Eclair.. got the OTA update to EC05 and reinstalled apps.
That didn't work either. Like you, I'm hoping it was something on Google's end.
I've come to the conclusion that the app, My Backup, is responsible for screwing up the market links. I used it to backup my apk files - without data. And somehow, when the apk's are used/restored after a fresh installation, the market links are corrupted.
This time, to get things right, I simply went to settings-privacy, and erased the data. I didn't Odin back to Eclair and get the OTA Froyo. Nor did I restore from the "My Backup" app. I restored my apps from the market and a separate "manual backup" of the apks and everything is fixed.
In my case I just did an update.zip for Froyo. Although I have backups with MyBackup Root I haven't had to use any yet. And the problem still persists.
I have this issue on EC05 stock.
I tried clearing Market cache and no-go. I finally had to clear data on each application with this issue, then uninstall. Only after those two steps were completed, I could once again navigate to the application's market page to download and install.
I'm just waiting for Syndicate v1.1.1 to dump stock. I think OTA is just way too buggy without a full data wipe.

My Backup Root ... that's the culprit.
Just save your data, what you can... Go to Settings, Privacy, and format your data. Then restore your data without using My Backup Root in any manner. Just grab the apps from the market.. or whatever
Im betting big bucks its My Backup Root.. the same app I USED. Your market links are corrupted, just like mine. Something particular to yours and my settings and My Backup Root. Otherwise, this thread would be 500 pages if it was a Google/Froyo bug.
Actually I DIDN'T use it. I may try the suggestion above. This is not really severe. Yet.
I can search for and get to them, just not through My Apps. Today Google Maps updated without an issue, although I don't know if that was one with the problem.
The issue just gets weirder. I have the Compass app for example. I was always able to get to it no problem through My Apps in the Market (unlike some others). Today it asked to update. I did so. Now, when I click on it from My Apps, it gives the error message. (But can still search for it and click through.) The f*** dude? Heh.
ETA: I'm seeing an unusual number of force closes too. At least 3 today. And several are triggered by clicking on My Apps which at first takes me to the app page, then next time shuts me out as I described earlier. Is it possible to reinstall Market somehow? Maybe that's where the problem is.
Bump...after a long struggle with this, including seeing only 3 of several dozen installed apps until I cleared Market cache and data, I got an at least temporary fix.
This time, it was me seeing all my apps, getting the 'not found' message and not even being able to find the app link through search anymore.
So this time I cleared Market cache and data, then used Apps2SD to clear all app data, then signed back into Market. Now, all my apps appear and link to their pages. An odd detail is that although I appear to still have Market v2.3.6, there are new options in Market settings regarding what ratings to display with a series of checkboxes. I checked "all". But I don't believe that's ever been there before. (And the don't display AdSense option appears to do nothing when unchecked, I don't understand why that's even there...)
Hopefully this fix lasts or can be done again. Other than the bluetooth and disappearing icons for landscape homescreen issues, it's the worst I've seen in Froyo.

I don't think I need to apologize for sharing info that might possibly be helpful to others. Creating a new thread is more frowned upon, according to most forum etiquette I'm familiar with.

Go to Settings>applications>manage applications>all then scroll to Qik, click on it and clear data and cache if possible.
There are also two Qiks available to Epic users on the Market.
cleared all the data. didnt help. uninstalled updates because it doesnt allow me to delete the app and reinstalled the updates through the program as this was the only option upon signing in. still failing

Uninstall the update first, remove the system qik.apk (many diffrent ways), use sdxappremover for this, then install one of the 2 in the market, same apps.

Nope mine is running great. I'm running 1.6.0
I use to have that problem before. I don't remember exactly how I fixed it ( might have uninstalled then re-installed) but I wiped the Rom I was using and flashed a new one and it worked like a charm.
Sent from my beast
It's a known bug in 1.6.0. Check the comments in the market. Every other comment is about this.

I did have this problem yesterday/today. I tried to uninstall then reinstall and it wouldnt reinstall I had to get the .apk file that worked. I think it was something in the ROM went wacky since several things are not working now - I have to do a wipe /reflash. Not sure why this happened out of the blue.

Mine did too. I downgraded to a backup I had of 1.5.4. That, along with the stupid Top News thing, I couldn't handle it. I can't stand the Top News, it's pointless, and all it does is show you posts from days ago. And there is no way to default the app to Most Recent, so every single time the app opens I have to change it to Most Recent.
Just curious if anyone has run into this. Recently rooted and removed bloat and switched to android L boot animation,but on restart it keeps telling me gapps have stopped but all gapps still on y phone work perfectly fine.Anyone know what the problem could be?Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
i have the same issue. doesn't seem to mess anything up, but kind of confusing and annoying
Same here. It comes up after every reboot.
Same here. blah.blah.gapps has stopped error when rebooting my stock AT&T G3.
Same here on D855.
I'm rooted via ioroot and removed a bunch of bloatware.
same here and it happened on my G Flex after upgrade to 4.4.2 also. I got it to stop on accident. I don't know "which" did it, but the first pop up of that error I started uninstalling pre-installed (or disabled the system apps). I think it really has something to do with the hangouts update to google play services. It didn't happen at all in the store, it wasn't until I got home and started updating/installing apps. If you have this problem and aren't on sprint we can then narrow it down to the added google services above Gmail, youtube, maps or play store app since I use those everyday and none of the other apps "google" apps.
I also do not think its any of the LG Default software as I installed some of it again (or re-enabled) to check out if I liked it and the error hasn't come back. So if you could please, uninstall/disable hangouts and the google play services update that is required for the 4.4.2 release of it and let me know. I also installed nova launcher but I am almost 100% positive I installed it after I fixed the app stop responding error... sorry I am all over the place, I wasn't really paying attention to it I was just doing what I always do with a new phone. Playing with it.
You said you removed bloat? I had that same issue when I converted play store to a user app via tibu. I think I had also tried to convert play services to a use app. That's what will cause it to crash like that. If you deleted or converted play store this would be the cause of the force close of gapps

See if he has Google Keyboard installed. If he does, uninstall it then reboot. That should fix it. For some reason, Google Keyboard is causing this popup.
Actually I think it's LG Keyboard. When I froze that app in Titanium Backup and restarted I always get the gapps crashed error. After Defrosting this app, I never get that error. I don't think it has anything to do with the Google Keyboard.
