Last week I backup my apps and after it finished it said I had zero apps. I updated busybox and superuser still no go. Anyone have this happen to them before? This Is the first time this has happened to me. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I'm on cm7 with savagegen kernel. Thanks!
Edit FIX: Just in case anyone runs to this problem down the road.
Titanium developer e-mailed me back. Best thing to do is to delete the Titanium Backup folder within the sd card root and that's it! (You can use any file explorer, I used Astro).
I have had it once....try running the problems then reboot.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.

no work
Try "refresh apps list" from menu. If that doesn't work, find Titanium Backup in "Manage Applications" in Settings (not the Pro key) and clear data.

That is done from settings > applications > manage applications > [scroll] > then clear data for the app.
Thanks for the reply guys. Tried the refresh and clear data under settings, still nothing.
i would try a different version of TB 3.7.4 is the one i last updated that worked flawlessly, non of the more recent ones worked as good for me
Try pressing Menu > Filters, then click Clear then Apply.

Wiping data for the app should've done that, as should reinstalling, but it wouldn't hurt.
If you need an older version check the TB website, you can find it on the market page. You can also try emailing the dev, he's helpful and may have some insight into your problem.
Aside from one version a couple of updates back, I've had zero problems with the app. I do know that one update required you to update the pro key as well, but I don't know if the older version requires the older key or if either will work.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
I tried the menu and filters and no go.
Also tried installing an older version, from the link on the developer's site. Didn't work, I'll try e-mailing the developer again. Thanks for the help everyone.

I tried on my own and after running it on new rom I get a "Parse error" type of message.
First I nandroid backup/swipe.
Then install the new rom(SPrint lovers 3.7)
Then I went right to the marketplace and downloaded TB again.
It tells me to go to settings/applications and check the install "Unknown apps install" button. so I do that.
Then I open TB again and go to batch, then I selected the restore all apps options and it gives me a error.
I read somewhere it says you have to install them one by one?
I read somewhere something about you have to mount a few programs or something?
I know I was able to do then in batch but try one by one it might work.

I see, well can you list the steps you would take to RESTORE the saved apps because I don't know if I did it the correct way or just forgot to install a side app.
well i figured it out from the link posted above,thanks. so i'll give it one more try.
I would recommend on buying the full version. Make sure you tap on PROBLEMS and then download BusyBox. Afterwards you can hit MENU-BATCH and BACKUP USER APPS. I'd recommend not messing with any of the other options. If you flash different ROM's a lot it's better to just backup the apps ONLY.
If you were to do for example BACKUP USER APPS and SYSTEM DATA that could potentially bring a whole bunch of errors on your new ROM's and tons of Force Closes.
What I prefer to do is to manually download all my apps between ROM swaps and then using Titanium Backup to restore the data. An example of what I'm talking about is if you have a game that you regularly play, you'd want to restore your data so you don't have to go through the game again. Hope that's simple enough to understand.
You said when you try to download it from the market it says check install unknown applications? Its not suppose to do that... You must have downloaded it and tried installing through a app like astro. If so download another version and try.

Swyped from Eva running Myn's RLS4!
I installed the Stock Rooted Version of today's Update 4.22. I did a complete wipe and used TB to restore all my apps. It has been 7 hours and the apps are still not in "My Apps" Section of the market. I have restarted and cleared the cache on the Market. Anyone else having this issue..
Thanks
Try using Titanium Backup's "Market Doctor".
In TiBu: Menu > More > Market Doctor.
It only works if you have backups that have the Market link intact.
Also, it is safe to Clear Data on the Market app, that sometimes helps.
you could also try TB option to link apps to market

the Clear Data was greyed out on the market app..
Damn cant do it in the free version... Guess its $6.88 for the pro...
Got Pro and tried the Market Doctor and it said it link 33 apps to the market and they didnt show up... is there a time frame?
I am having same issue. If it is any comfort, I have paid TB, ran Market Dr, and the app still don't show up in market.

Clearing the market data can work, but you have to shut down both the market service and Google services, or it won't do any good
I know it sounds odd, but try syncing your Google account. I use a "force sync" toggle from Widgetsoid, but I think Sense has a "Sync All" widget. I don't remember.
I had the same issue one time and I synced then rebooted. One or the other fixed the issue.
It could be the rom, I guess. You can try wiping cache and dalvik (don't wipe data) and then reflash the rom if all else fails.
EDIT: So just opened the market to check for app updates and none of my apps are showing either, except for my purchased apps. I'm on MIUI, so it may just be a coincidence or it may be the market.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
Has anyone Figured out a Solution to this problem... is it the market? or the Update to the EVO? I dont want to redownload all my apps and lose data but I will. I have installed a couple apps over the existing but I noticed my internal storeage went down... I dont want to have double the space used for the same apps
Hello I've been using AOSP rom for while and after flashing into stock based rom. The TB backup is not working the error message it keeps saying is "The Current backup location ("/storage/extSdCard/download/titaniumbackup") cannot be accessed.
Can anyone help about how to solve this problem ?
/storage/extsdcard is the filepath stock uses. for aosp you need tibackup to look in /storage/sdcard1
edit: i misread your post, sorry. it does seem like it's going to storage/extsdcard/download though, is that where you normally store your titanium backups? that may be your problem

Just open tibu, hit the menu button, Preferences, backup folder location, hit the back button until you see storage, find ext card (or whatever the name is where your backups are located), scroll down until you find the titanium backup folder, hit use current. Done...

I'm having the same issue restoring a nandroid backup
I've just run a backup to test...cwm reports it stored on /sdcard
but total commander reports it at being at /data/media and no sign of it at /scard, /sdcard/0 or /storage/emulated/0?????

I found this thread through Google search, since I was having the same problem on my Sprint GN2. I rebooted into recovery, fixed permissions, and the problem went away.
My apologies if this info is available elsewhere - I just figured other people might find this thread the same way I did, and would like a possible solution without having to comb through fifty threads to find it.

If you can't see fix permissions in philz recovery, you can try an app which you can find on play store named "fix permissions". it did the same thing as the option on recovery. If this not help, try to go on option "mounts and storage" in recovery, and mount sdcard1. This will surely help (hopefully) !!

Uninstall titanium, then reinstall from the play store.
This is a new kk security feature. If i remember right, apps can now only write to folders they create. Im guessing you're apps and folders were installed while on 4.3 and thus they did not claim the folders they need the way they must now do on kk. Thats my basic understanding of it anyway. I hope this helps.

Yes its a bug, see here for fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572354
FYI:
If you have your midroUSB connected to your computer while launching and working with Titanium Backup, you will get the "cannot access" backup dir error.
Simply unplug from the microUSB and try again.
I have to bump this thread as I am encountering this problem.
Running a new clean install of AICP rom, Titanium Backup is the only thing I've installed from Play Store.
When I go into Preferences, detect the backup location, and then select it, Titanium Backup FCs.
Tried fixing permissions from recovery as suggested and it still didn't work, still FCs.
Has this happened to anyone recently?
maybe try a re-install from DL folder ? has happened to me when restoring apps from tibu. and re-install and works for me. just an idea. ¿
"all i can really do is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
I could not get any of the above solutions to work for me. I am running DOK2 5.1.1 lollipop.
What worked for me is going into TB> menu> preferences>backup folder location.
Above the " DETECT!" button is a Storage Provider hyperlink-- select it.
Select the appropriate file management system and voila!
Hopefully it works for you all.
Does anyone know of a good way to automatically reinstall apps after a hard reset? Just to be clear, I want to reinstall from the Play store, not from Titanium or anything like that.
I've seen a lot of stuff indicating that that if you turn on Google Backup, it should automatically reinstall apps after a reset, but this does not seem to be happening on my 10. Thanks!
I should add that after a factory reset, the phone asks me if I want to restore apps and data from one of a list of devices. My 10 is not on the list, so maybe the problem is that the backup function is not working? I am running Viper ROM, if that matters.

do u have the "backup my data" under backup & reset settings menu enabled? also do u have the backup account set with the correct account?since your on viper then u use a custom recovery so there is an app u can use called "zipme" that creates a recovery flashable zip of any or all your apps, u just flash in recovery after reset and all ur apps are restored
Try Helium, copy the backups on internal storage to sdcard, after hard reset, copy them back, make sure you tick backup data. I haven't tried this yet, but I have restored individual apps
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
You have to turn on "Back up my data" & "Automatic restore".
Anther way, go to Play Store on you phone, swipe from left, go to "My apps & games", then go to the "ALL" tab (or swipe right), then long press on any uninstalled app, it will highlight it, then tap/select on all the apps you want to install (one by one), then tap "INSTALL" at the top right.

The last couple of times the backup account has shown up. Not sure what changed. However I'm using Helium and it's working well. I looked at zipme -- hasn't been updated since 2013?

Hello, all.
I froze some system apps on my Pixel 2 XL using Titanium Backup. But it turns out I need to unfreeze a few of them now, but I can't. Titanium Backup, as well as several other root freeze / defrost apps, report a successful defrost each time. But in reality the apps are still frozen. And this is confirmed when I re-enter the freeze / defrost app, it lists them all as still frozen. I can try and try again to defrost, but it's always unsuccessful. It should be noted I don't have a Titanium Backup of the apps, nor do I have a TWRP backup of the phone pre-freeze. So I can't simply uninstall, then restore, the apps. I need a solution to defrost them, because that's the only option I seem to have.
I read a few forum threads about this problem happening to other people, and a proposed solution involving manually editing packages.xml. However these threads are years old, and seemingly outdated because the packages.xml on my phone doesn't contain the strings people are referring to.
So... I'm stuck. I contacted a few of the freeze / defrost app developers for tips, but none of them responded. So I'm hoping some of y'all here have some solution for me to try.
Thanks in advance,

Then about the only other thing I could suggest is to clear app cache/data again, go to magisk manager and uncheck root authorization, uninstall TiBu, reboot, then install TiBu again.
