i thought it was something else at first, but now i've tried 2 roms with no titanoum backup installed. i sign in, go to market, choose the free one and it's already downloading - but stalled. i click cancel and the market force closes.
at this point i've done nothing. the phone is setup, i sign into my gmail account and go straight to TB and this happens.
anyone have an idea what's up?
Worked fine for me? I just downloaded 2 apps(Paper Toss and Sudoko Free).
yea, everything else is fine, but whenever i go for TB, it freezes the market app. no idea why
Full wipes between flashing roms?
Which 2 roms are you having this issue with?
turns out it's also happening with android agenda widget. market crashes when it pops up to update
realised itsn not just these 2 roms. i just havent had to download TB on the other roms as they're included.
i'm wondering if it's the auto update?
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.

OK, I'll give it a try...(famous last words heheh)
ETA: didn't hurt, but didn't help. Thanks. Anyone or thing else?
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.
I had the same problem. I reloaded stock ROM using ODIN
I have this issue that is highly annoying. This has been going on for a while. I can not see any of my apps in the market. Here is a list of what I tried.
1. celared market cache and data
2. rebooted recovery and cleared cache and delivik cache.
3. re-flashed rom
Help!!!!
I have the same issue. I have tried all the things you mentioned, and I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the market, and using TB to destroy and fix all my market links. I have searched for a solution to this, but it seems to me that no one has found a reliable solution.
I use AppBrain as a workaround.
More information is here: https://groups.google.com/a/googlep...pic/android-market/technical-help/Ny19XMKGzZ0
Well at least I know I am not the only one.
I called Market support, and the guy I talked to said that he had to forward it to the developers, so we will see what they say.
http://support.google.com/androidmarket/bin/request.py
EDIT: I forgot to mention, but the guy I talked to also sent me an email with a market link to every app I've ever purchased from the Android Market.
very common issue right now. ive done EVERYTHING i can think of. clear cache, uninstall market, reinstall, wipe market links, rebuild market links, flash same rom, flash different roms, factory data reset, and RTN with my MSL. nothing works. and i dont know anyone else in my family/friends/coworkers that is having the problem. when i googled it, i found dozens of other phone types that have this same problem, some as far back as september.
PRO TIP: use aTrackDog to check for updates and make a list of on device apps.
Reboot
After I reboot my phone the apks appear in my gallery.
I have noticed that when the market updates (when you accept the agreement...again) and you have multiple google accounts linked on your phone, it sometimes changes the default account you had it set as. You need to then select menu -> accounts and choose which account is the default you made the market purchase with.
I'm sure this post is for a completely different issue, but just wanted to post this to weed out some unneeded frustrations.

I really wish it was that easy. I only have one market account.
I had this problem too and the only way I could fix it was not restoring my apps with Titanium Backup after installing a new ROM. I've heard other people remedied the problem this way too.
This problem started for me after I did the "Destroy all Market links" feature trying to fix the update lag on some of my apps. The problem kept happening after using "Market Doctor" and even installing a new ROM and running "Restore missing apps with (and with out) data".
My issue being resolved may have been a fluke, maybe someone else could confirm?

i know what youre talking about. i have done exactly this, but it did not work for me... but im glad it worked for you! lol
"Destroy all market links" is essentially the issue that you guys are having. I have ran into the same problem. Open titanium backup, hit "menu", "market tools" then "market doctor"
That should fix the problem. It has for me every time.
uhm i have this happen sometimes. and usually its because of having multiple google accounts. Are you sure ur markets on the correct account?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have done this multiple times.
It occurs even after I wipe, flash a new ROM, and don't even mess with TB. Makes me think it has something to do with the market account itself.
I'm really getting frustrated about this. I can flash back to stock and it still does this to my phone. I only have one google account signed. Really this is surprising that more people don't have this issue. I hope it gets fixed someday because it's ruining my experience with my phone. My other phone (htc thunderbolt) has no issues.

Another issue that I've found is that I think some apps aren't compatible with 2.3.6 or or something about these roms because some apps seem to disappear sometimes for no reason. I don't know, I'm blaming it on the market, the app developers and fragmentation.. lol
I too have this same issue, single email account, various roms running
Yup, same issue for me. I have 1 account, tried every possible option in Titanium Backup and Market (uninstall/reinstall, clear data, destroy links, flash back to stock, etc).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402303
Strange thing is that I do not have this issue on my SPH-D700 Epic 4G.
Again, I think it's an issue with Google/Market. Somehow the data linked to my SPH-D710/EpicTouch in Market is corrupt and causing issues.
I did notice that this issue first started after I tried purchasing Read It Later Pro. Market shows that the app was PURCHASED and ready to INSTALL but the transaction never went through. This is when my trouble started. Like I said, so far no acknowledgement or help from Google about the issue.

I'm noticing that the carrier field in my Market Account -> Settings is blank (it should say "Sprint".

Anyone else have the same?
Mine says Sprint and mine doesn't work.

I may have stumbled on a fix in my case. I was debloating my apps, and I removed the Market Feedback Agent using Titanium Backup and my apps now show up. YMMV.
Rebooted into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik as well.

Hey there,
as of this morning, phone and contacts appear on my startscreen no longer with their usual icon but with a green android one.
Once I click on either of them, I immediately get the error "App isn't installed". Also, neither of the two apps can be found in the app drawer any more.
Moreover, the SMS app still shows up with its standard icon. However, when trying to open it, it immediately quits unexpectedly.
Before I noticed these errors, I installed an update for avast anti theft. I'm not sure if this is connected to the problem though.
I already tried rebooting, clearing the two apps' caches in the system's app settings and restoring phone and contacts app from a titanium backup (apps only, not the settings). None of these helped.
My phone is a rooted gnex with stock 4.1.1.
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Cheers
CT

Nevermind... I went out of patience and flashed a CWM backup (which was kind of annoying since it was from back in June and thus really outdated...).
It's working again now. Still no idea where the error came from.

..
Had same problem, sometimees if I had phine off and when put back on certain apps would display"app not installed"
Had avast on my ics phone and since deleting it have been ok so far.
I decided that after years with the same gmail account, it had become too cluttered and too many people had my email and I just wanted a fresh start.
So, I created a fresh, new gmail account and I did a factory data reset on my phone.
But now, all the pre-installed apps won't show up in the Google Play store so I can not update them. If I type in the name of an app that is pre-installed, it shows "Update" but when I go to "my apps" there are no apps there, so I can't update them all. I also have "auto update" on, but nothing is updating.
What could cause this and is there a way I can fix it? Even though I don't use all of the pre-installed apps, I still want everything up to date.

can you install apps from the pc on the new gmail? if not, what happens when you try that from the old one?
Same Issue
I have this exact issue. Purchased a used phone. It was delivered in mint condition and had been factory reset. So I set it up as it was new. However, the pre-installed apps do not show up in "My Apps". So, I cannot "Update all" and auto update does not include those apps.
If I run a search for any pre-installed app it gives the option to update. Once updated, the app shows in "My Apps" like normal. All new downloaded apps show up in "My Apps" as normal.
It's like the pre-installed apps are synced to a different account... Please help
They will show up. It takes a few minutes or so. I just got the HTC one, traded my s4 for it (best decision ever!) and it took a while
