Can't download anything in market - everything stuck at "Starting Download..."
Okay so recently I have run into a problem where apps won't download from market -- they are just stuck at "Starting download...".
I searched to see if this is a common problem (seems to happen to a good number of people) and I tried the solutions posted. I did factory reset, deleted cached, tried to login via different account, etc. etc. -- none of the solutions work. At best, after a factory reset for cache clear, an app or two will download before this problem occurs again. I have even tried upgrading to 2.2 market but it doesn't help.
Anyone know of any good solutions for this?
Thanks!
Rebooting the phone has always worked for me. It's happened to nearly all Android devices to someone at one point.
How good is your signal? I can't download anything with 2 bars on edge. Which is what I get at home.

Rebooting doesnt help and it is not a signal issue. Altho i was having some connectivity issues last night but my net works just fine now.
you can try canceling, and restarting the download, always works for me
also, downgrade back to 2.1, i heard 2.2 had problems
Clear the download manager and market app cache in settings/application manually. Reboot.

Thanks for all the help guys but nothing is working. I even tried reflashing JFD and upgrading to JI6 but still it doesn't work. It seems the first time I launch Market everything downloads fine but after that nothing works.
Also, a weird thing happens: Market starts downloading all these apps automatically - apps I never told it to download - but all those apps come back as downloaded unsuccessfully.
Someone did this with success and it worked for me too
I have managed to sort this now - here's what I did:
Go into settings - applications - manage applications- scoll down to market & long touch to open. Clear cache AND Uninstall updated. It will ask for confirmation and then uninstall. I then went back to market and Bluetooth file transfer downloaded and installed with no probs. Hope this helps anyone else with same problem.
Have you tried going to Settings>Applications>Manage applications and locate Market then chose Clear Cache and Uninstall Updates.
There is a problem with doing that: I see no market under "Manage Applications"

Thanks but still no-go =(. I even tried clearing data of Market via Titanium Backup and still won't work. Oh well, my replacement phone is coming this week, so may as well wait it out.
Thanks for all the help, everyone.
That sucks man... i have had the same problem as you and got it working with those steps . Hope you have no problems with the replacement.
Try to login to gtalk and it shall do the tricks

Select option to show all from manage applications, you can get this by selecting the menu button >> filter and show all while in manage applications screens.
I've run into this with my phone (rooted stock), it's beyond frustrating and I have no idea what I do or might be running that might cause the issue. I was going to do yet another wipe when I found the below info on a google support forum. Nothing I had tried besides the reset would fix my market until I did the following:
Under manage applications, filter show all, then:
Checkin Service- clear data
Download Manager- clear data
Google Apps- clear data
Google Talk Service- clear data
Market- clear cache
I have the same issue. I have tried almost everything. I found a work around. I turn off WiFi and 3g on and it will start on 3g. If that doesn't work I keep 3g on WiFi off and restart fhe downloads, and it allways starts, even group downloads in 2.2.
Not a solution but I can at least get the downloads started.
I might try the post above me and give that a go.

What usually works is going to Menu>Applications>Running Services and then stopping the the Gtalk service. Then reopen the market
this also happens to me sometimes. sometimes it will download but sometimes it won't, it's only saying "starting download" but it it's taking a long time in that status.
My Fascinate is rooted properly
Since then, I've installed SetCPU and Titanium Backup from the market...
Shortly after, my phone stopped being able to Download Apps from the Market...
So I uninstalled both programs
The Market says "Currently Downloading" but the Taskbar never shows it happening, and the little download bar in the App spins for a while and just stops.
I even left a simple game downloading overnight to no avail
I also tried clearing all the caches- download manager, market, etc...
Help!
Try canceling your downloads, logging into Talk, then trying again? Or cancel downloads, reboot, log into google Talk, then open Market

I had the same problem. Clearing all the cache and data for market and google apps worked for me.Though a google search has revealed results may vary.

This happens to me and many many people ALL THE TIME. The worst part is that there is never one reason why this happens or one fix. You just have to be lucky. I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF THIS HAPPENING TO ME AND EVERYONE ELSE. Hopefully when froyo comes or something it will not happen anymore.
what does google talk do?

@billypunk81 That is a quick google for an answer.
And in the future please use the general forum for any and all questions. Unless you are developing something don't start a thread here.
Also give this a read.
good day.
I had same issue and nothing helped. I froze 'Market' and 'Market Updater' from Titanuim then thawed both right away. Started working after that.
Check and make sure Background Data is on. Maybe it got turned off somehow.
Try removing the 2.2 Market if you have it installed. That's what did it for me.
I ran into this situation when I mistakingly restored the 2.2 Market after flashing jt's clean ROM. To solve this, I removed Vendor.apk and reflashed jt's clean ROM. That fixed things for me.
So I opened up youtube on my Xoom to find it loading the same App that my Droid uses. I was puzzled for a couple minutes but I went to my apps and uninstalled updates for my youtube app. Then when I went to opened up youtube again the problem was fixed and the beautiful honeycomb version of the youtube app was loading.
For a better look at this issue and the solution I posted a video describing this issue and the solution.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPDgmUZnD0Q
this happened to me too I just uninstalled youtube from the market and now its back to honeycomb version
This happened to me and resolved it the same way you did, but now the problem is that Youtube is showing under the not installed section on the marketplace.
mine was showing up as not installed in market, so i stupidly installed it. I get the phone version now. I just tried uninstalling it and there's no option to. what do i do now?
Uninstall from the Market itself

Forgive me if you already tried this. But go to marketplace, then 'My Apps' and find the youtube app. In the middle panel on the bottom should be a button to click that says 'uninstall updates' , this is also reflected in the above video in the root post of the thread.
If you already tried this, go to the advanced setting panel. go to applications and all apps. When there look for youtube app and try to force close it. If it was running now try to repeat the above step.
Hope this helps

thanks, but it didn't work. I first went to Settings to force close it, but it wasn't running. I cleared cache anyway.
then in market, there is no option to uninstall updates or even uninstall the program.
not sure what's going on.

Enable Youtube and Google Books on your Wifi only Xoom
Do Not Return Your Xoom
If you have had a problem with the missing YouTube and/or Google Books application, here is the fix that works:
1. Connect to WiFi network.
2. Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
3. Go to the "All" tab and then scroll down and select "Google Partner Setup."
Clear Data.
Reboot your Xoom. (That is, turn it off and on.)
If this doesn't work, perform a factory reset (Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset) and try the sequence above again.
Good Luck
I've searched around (and even tried the method mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086213&highlight=music) but to no avail: Even with my music invite (and I have uploaded music, and can access it without issue from a browser, or from my Thunderbolt) and the updated app, I still don't have an option for settings in the options menu in the music app (I just have "Shuffle all," "Hide now playing bar," and "Help."). When I go into applications, it shows that the music app version is 3.0.1, but I'm stuck without any means of connecting the app to the service.
Would appreciate any help.
I noticed that too. I checked my google sync options, synced and restarted my xoom and it worked shortly after I rebooted it. Now it shows up as an option under google sync.
I needed to go into the music app's settings and choose which google account I would use. Once I did that all my music appeared.

Thanks, I went ahead and tried that, but it didn't have any effect. Did you have music as an option under google sync before what you tried, or did that only appear after your reset? I can't get it either way.

How did you get into the music app's settings? That's basically my problem, I have no means of getting into the settings.
Usually when an app does not work properly especially after an update, the first thing you can try is going to Tablet Settings > Applications > Manage Application > Music then clear data and reboot and try again. Not sure if that will help here but worth a shot.

On my Xoom I was able to get into the app's setting without any issues. On my d2 I couldn't get into the music app's setting until I uninstalled and then installed it again. Might have to try that.
Your music version should be V3.0.1.339. I you just have version v3.0 you don't have access to the cloud.
The "Settings" feature is not present in the v3.0 version.
You have to update your music app via the US marked = use market access to do this.

I didn't have an option when I did the sync the first time. I also tried to update the music app but I didn't have an option to do so. Once I rebooted and I'm assuming it reloaded my google account to detect my music beta then updated the music app. Another thing you could try is signing out and signing back into your google account.
All right, I've tried stopping the music app, clearing data, and trying again. I also tried stopping the app, clearing data, uninstalling updates, soft resetting, then updating music again through the market. Still doesn't give me an option for settings.
When I check the version, I see 3.0.1.
Would anyone be willing to upload the apk they're using? I'm hoping that might help...
This happened to me when I got my invite. I uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared cache, data, uninstalled, resinstalled etc etc...it took a couple days before I saw a "settings" option in the menu. Now my problem is I can't get Music Manager to upload all my stuff when I want it to.

I've been trying it since I first posted, clearing the cache, resetting, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. but with no luck so far. I guess I'll keep trying until someone comes up with a solution.
I just got my invite and I had this problem too.
The solution is to uninstall the app with titanium back up then reinstall through the market.

I got so excited when I read this...right up until I tried to uninstall music with Ti Backup...I click the Un-install button, which turns yellow, then hangs. Forever (ok, I only gave it a couple of hours, but I assumed that was enough).
Thanks for the suggestion though, at least I have a new angle now.

[SOLVED] Market free app download - error processing your purchase!
Ok after messing about with roms i got myself to where i could not download even free apps from the market.
Wiping market cache all that, even after nand restore, then full wipe etc and reinstall rom, the market would still not work, or work then go back into error mode even with free apps.
After posting here and searching google I found other people looking and some options given but none worked.
For all you who are still suffering from this I found the solution
It came to me to go into accounts and sync. I looked at it for a moment then clicked my google account and top right clicked remove account. On starting market after wiping market app cache it asked me to log in with password (which it didn't before) that was it, job done!!! Google account restored on tablet and market working great for a good few days now
Hope this helps...

Did you?
1. go to settings, applications, manage, all, market, clear cache, clear data.
2. go to settings, accounts and sync, click your managed account, top right hand corner click remove account.
3. Reboot
Now when it starts market it will ask you to sign up or sign in. Re-enter your account email and password, then the accept terms and conditions should come up, click yes and it should work.
If it does not get all your apps in the my apps section, try another reboot and log on again, they should be there.
Hope this sorts it, as there is nothing worse than no market (off-course there are millions of things worse than no market, it just feels that way sometimes)

SOMEHOW, adding a nickname to my xoom on the online android market (My market Account > Settings, click edit and add a nickname) seems to have fixed the issue.
OMG!!!!! Thank You Soooooooo Much. I used the contact us thing from the market and nothing they told me to do helped

Don't need to reboot:
1. Go to settings -> Applications -> Manage -> All -> Market
2. Press the Force Close button, press OK to acknowledge this is what you want to do.
3. Press Clear Cache, press OK if it asks you to confirm your actions
4. Exit the screen
5. Go to settings -> Accounts and Sync
6. Click your Google account
7. Press Remove at the top right corner. Press OK to confirm this is what you want to do.
8. Exit the screen
9. Launch Market
10. The Market app will ask you for an account. Put your Google information back in.
11. Once you put the account info in, you'll get the disclaimer. Press OK.
12. Now try to download an app.
These steps work for me (and they are extremely close to the OPs instructions, with only the Force Close added).
Not working for me. A500
tried both workarounds, neither fixed it for me.
edit: giving tapanthers workaround a try now
still no luck
same thing for me. Acer iconia a500. I've tried both methods multiple times with no success
No luck
No luck here with any of the above methods
(acer a500 taboony 2.1b)
they dot work..I am really frustrated!
I was having the issues and no workaround worked I did some digging and found that a newer version of the Market fixes the issue. I am currently using market 3.1.5 and everything is now working correctly. You can find it by doing a search in Google for that version.

Exactly same for me... No luck with methods. Recently had a strange update that gave a BOOKS section i never had before (live in uk), a few days ago. Market busted ever since, yet no amount of reverting / uninstalling updates (even using a Titanium backup) will shift that new addition!
Wonder if that was the cause for some? And where is that part of the program to get rid of it?
Just a thought in trying to locate a cause...
