In the new market app I selected the option to update all apps that were pending, this option has worked for me in the past, however this last time it updated several apps but not all apps. Six of the apps are stuck on "installing" and it has been stuck in this state for over 24 hours.
To try and address this I have done the following...
- Forced closed Market app
- Rebooted the phone
- Shutdown phone and removed battery
- Killed market process and several other processes
- Uninstalled affected apps via other processes
Unfortunately these apps remain stuck "installing" mode, because they are stuck I can't reinstall them.
Other apps that are not one of these 6 can still be installed/updated/uninstalled.
Has anyone had this happen before and anyone have suggestions on how to correctv this so I can reinstall my apps.

Thank You Kaotikevo,
The steps in that link did not correct my problem but they did point me into a direction that did fix it.
After following the steps twice to no avail I had noted that the Market App in the settings area you pointed me to had the option to rollback the last update. I rolled it back and that corrected the problem. I was able to reinstall the app and my last glance at the phone showed it reinstalling the new Market.

Ive had my nexus one for awhile
when i first got it back in March i rooted it and flashed cyanogen
since then ive had no problems with it
everything was running smoothly
and i spent quite allot of time
flashing between cyanogens rom and Modacos desire rom
Today as usual i noticed the market was being a bit slow (i was using modaco desire rom) and i found it a bit unusual
i check if i have any updates available for my apps
and of course there were a few
i update google maps and i noticed my phone was downloading google maps 4 times!
what i mean by that is google maps would be downloading, and then another arrow would come out saying google maps is downloading and then another and then another and my status bar said that i was downloading google maps so it would be downloading the update 4 times at the same time (i hope that makes sense) i thought it was just google maps but then i went to update my other apps and it would do the same thing. When i updated rom manager it downloaded and installed it quickly (its not that big) but then when i pressed home another arrow came down notifying i was downloading something so i scrolled down my status bar and it said it was downloading it AGAIN! and trying to install it again and it did this about 4 times
i thought it was my the Desire rom so i flashed cyanogen and i thought it was fixed but it kept doing it. Market tried to download/install some of the apps i downloaded 4-6 times
please help me
i cant install any apps now or update anything
becuase if i try it will try to install/download it over and over again
i am having the same problem..

have you tried going into settings under manage applications and "uninstalling updates" for the market...anytime i've had problems with it this has worked for me.
No I have not tried that
If you could explain how to do it step by step that would be great
Thank you in advanced

go into settings...then applications...manage applications...scroll down to market and select...then select the box "uninstall updates". done, it should be back to norm

I don't think that's what I mean because its not just Google maps that keeps doing the multi download its all my apps that I try updating. I thought it was just my apps and then I tried downloading a random app to see and it still multi downloaded

My Vibrant is having some serious issues. I've only found one other person that seems to have my issues and that thread went out of control so I'm starting another.
Symptom:
Within 5ish (if that) minutes of a factory reset, the market will get stuck on Starting Download... for any application. Nothing fixes it. I can download 10ish applications but that's all.
Attempted Fixes:
Factory Reset
Various ROMs via Odin
Flash JFD ROM with "repartition" option selected, then flash another ROM over that without repartition
Factory Reset and different Gmail account to set up the phone
"Easy Fixes" like logging in to GTalk, resetting Market cache, switching networks and over to wifi in any combination and every other suggestion that doesn't work.
Notes:
Everything was working fine until that OTA update came in and I opted to install it without checking online to see if there were any issues. Of course, the update froze halfway through and I used Odin to install JI6, then all these issues started.
This is my first phone and it used to work perfectly well in any number of locations around where I live. Now it doesn't work anywhere.
I periodically get spammed with a lot of application downloads that I didn't initiate and they all turn up unsuccessful (since the problems started).
I tried using the Appbrain quick web installer feature which may or may not have caused the problem.
I am currently using Bionix 1.8 with VOODOO.
My wife's phone has the same set up and works. I tried her Gmail account on mine after a factory reset and I had the same issues.
Any suggestions?
When you flashed JI6 did you use the pit file?
are you restoring any backups after you flash?
I posted this in another thread. Someone did this with success and it worked for me too. The key thing "AND Uninstall updated"
I have managed to sort this now - here's what I did:
Go into settings - applications - manage applications- scroll 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.

Also have you ran a "Fix permissions" from RomManager? It seems to help with a lot of these strange errors ....
Sorry for not responding... work is keeping me busy.
Anyway, when I go Manage Applications, select Filter~>All and go down to Market there is nothing to do with Uninstall. I tried long clicking and that did nothing. When I click on Market, the only buttons are Clear Cache, Clear Defaults, and Force Stop. Am I missing something?
To answer other questions, both the JI6 and JFD .tar files I used (found on xda) came with their own .pit files and I did use the respective .pit files when flashing. After the flash, all I do is install Appbrain and start loading my applications again (no other restoration methods). I've run fix_permissions and that didn't help when I ran it though I've only done it once or twice in the whole process.
Note - I have Market 1714.
Cleared the download manager cache?
+1 on Fix Permissions in ROM Manager. This has fixed many market issues.
The TMo Android customer service folk had me try clearing the Download Manager's cache (and I tried again just for laughs) with no results. Tried fix permissions again with no luck. My replacement (refurbished? from TMo) should show up today.
Got the new phone (with JI6 on it and the new market that keeps applications up-to-date), flashed Bionix Fusion 1.1 and things look to be working pretty well. My signal is noticeably better than it was before (it used to be good then got worse for some reason so I guess it's back to what it used to be).
I paid $10 for 7-10 business day shipping or something like that but I got a text about it shipping on the 25th and it got here today (after being back-ordered) so I'm relatively satisfied. Sure would like to know what's wrong with the other phone and how to fix it if need be in the future but I'll just avoid accepting any OTA updates in the future.
Hello there,
There's been some Android market issues on my Aria for the past 24 hours. Nothing will download and it's stuck at 'Starting download…'
I've downloaded plenty of apps the previous days, this just started yesterday. Wonder if the Market is overcrowded, is currrently down, or if this is normal sometimes.
Other info / Steps I've taken:
1. I'm running Liberated R12
2. I'm well connected to the internet (can browse, chat, etc)
3. Tried downloading different apps but they all were stuck at Starting download
4. Tried downloading update for other apps instead, same thing
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

Its definitely not a market issue as I've used it a few times today with no issues, I'm even downloading an update as I'm typing this. My wife also downloaded from the market today with no issues. I'm running cm6 and she has a stock rom.
Maybe try clearing the market data?
Thanks for clearing that up for me. Now we know it's something with my phone… Would you please advice how to clear the Market data? I tried looking for it in the Market app by tapping Menu and other stuffs, but there's no such option.
Thanks again!

Hi there thanks for the quick reply!
I just did the Clear Cache but no can do, it's still stuck at Starting download
Any other suggestions? Lets try to avoid re-flashing please
Okay google sent me an email advising me to login to Talk app. Did that and it didn't solve it.
Anyway I just re-flashed and it's working alright now. Thanks!
So I can't seem to get apps to install or update any longer.
Tried rebooting many times, 3G/WIFI.. the apps sit with the line moving to the left.
The only thing I've done recently was install the 3G card.. then I went to system update and applied the latest update and bam, can't install anything now.
Ideas??
I seem to have gotten it working. I cleared the cache/data from the 'Download Manager' on the app list..
Having the same problem, where exactly did you do that from. Just got this a a X-Mas present.

I'm not sure how it happened, but the official Google marketplace just doesn't work anymore.
On Bell Atrix, 2.3.6, Stock.
The Marketplace loads up fine, by when I go into my apps it just doesn't list anything. Not my installed apps, not my purchases, nothing. I can download apps just fine, but nothing then gets linked to my apps.
I have tried my account on 2 other devices(galaxy nexus and asus transformer), and it works fine. I have also tried someone else's account on my phone and that works.
I have tried a factory reset, and it the marketplace v2.3.6 works for the first login. But after it just gives the following error.
"A server error has occurred. retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen"
Retry just loops the error, with no success, and cancel just returns me to the marketplace's main page
After the marketplace updates, when I go to my apps I just get a generic white page w/my google account and 2 buttons to go to either the game or apps section.
This site lists the exact same issue I'm having. No fixes though =/

Try erasing market's cache, or using a different market version.

I have the same issue. Nothing worked for me soo far... The only think you can do is to install cm7, cm9 or miui. It works on these roms just fine.

I was hoping to avoid that. Blasphemy, I know, but I like being on stock.
Have you tried returning to stock, and seeing if it works?

I emailed Android Market Support on friday when it started. They emailed back asking for more information pretty quickly.
However, I haven't heard anything, since responding to the initial email.
https://support.google.com/androidmarket/bin/request.py?contact_type=market_phone_tablet_web
Try submitting a request. It might not account to anything, but it may make them realize others are having the issue also
Try erasing market cache and then deleting /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/market_assets.db with some file manager. After rebooting market should work properly(but you may need instal something or restore links using TiBu) at least for while
EDIT: I have this error from ca. 1,5-2 months, reported it and google did exactly nothing about this issue
Ok, this has worked for me so far. My fingers are crossed that it'll be a permanent fix.

1) Go to Market Tools -> Market Doctor and Unlink all User & System apps.
2) Reboot device.
3) Open any Root Explorer or Browser and locate and delete the file "market_assets.db" in "/data/data/com.android.vending/databases".
4) Reboot device.
5) Go to TB Pro and to Market Tools -> Market Doctor -> User Apps and link all the User Apps that you installed on your device from the Android Market. Make sure that no System App is linked.
6) Reboot device.
7) Install a free app
Looks like that was only a temp fix, because the issue came right back this morning....
