Can't install apps from the store - Windows 8 General

Hello. I've just installed Windows 8 Release Preview 32bit on my PC. I'm not able to install Metro apps from the store. I've signed in with my Microsoft account. When I click the "Install" button, I see some flying dots on the top of the screen for a few seconds and then nothing happens. How can I solve this? Is there an alternative method?

I only tried with youtube, these other apps I dont will use and dont try with these. and I uninstalled it, these apps appears like youtube app in titanium backup
edit: I tried install google voice and google earth and no problem for me
I had a same problem on my Nexus S, what I did was, I navigated to /system/app/ folder on my phone with ES File Explorer, found the YouTube.apk and reinstalled it from there!
PS. Android Market and my phone showed the application as installed, and all options were greyed out (Open, Install, Uninstall)!
I fixed it with ep file explorer. Fix the youtube app
But still have problems with voice recorder thinkfree office and others that wont install and show up in my menu.

I had to do this several times because it kept getting messed up. Couldn't uninstall it normally but it didn't open.

But with titanium backup you need root access what i dont have. Then it isnot possible?

Try downloading an uninstaller app from the market.

What is that? Can you give me a name of one?

I cannot uninstall it with a free app. Google vpice or thinkfree are not even visible.
I can only see these apk files with ep file.explorer

My odd solution:
-Download GApps from Rom Manager...or wherever
-Flash GApps via recovery
-Reboot (Still no YouTube...)
-Go to Market
-Re-install Youtube from Market
When my YouTube "disappeared", it "appeared" in the Market as installed but the Open and Unistall buttons were greyed out. The icon in the drawer and the widget option were both gone.
I don't have that Think Free Office icon either in the apps drawer, but the TFO is installed in my phone. I was little bit confused about that thing, but now I see it's a common issue...?
I find it in xoom forum,thought it might help
If you have had a problem with the missing YouTube and/or Google Books applications, we have a workaround you can try.
Connect to WiFi network. (So far it looks like only WiFi Xooms have had this issue. Let me know if you have this on a Verizon Xoom.)
Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
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.
Please let me know how if this works for you.

How? Was it the suggestion to clear data from the Google Partner Setup or something else?

Problem installing and updating 3rd party apps

I have the Amazon app store installed after about a month of trying. I'm not sure what changed, but it installed. Now that it's installed, when I try to install apps I download from the Amazon app store, the "install" button doesn't work. I can press anywhere on the install button with the same result, nothing. This has happened before with other 3rd party apps. Anyone else run into this problem?

[Q] installing APK

Hello,
When you download an APK, not from the playstore, but from the internet, and put it on your phone's storage and then install the app, let's say i wish to uninstall the app, does the app apear at the "downloaded" section of apps?.. or at the "all" section.
It should show up under installed. You can long press app while in app drawer and hit the red x in corner it will ask if you want to un install.

Under installed?.. if i look settings > apps > it only shows Downloaded/running/all .....
Go to play store hit menu/my apps first column is installed swipe to the right and it will show you every app you ever downloaded via the Gmail account you are logged into. Be aware that some of these app might be from a different device and might not be compatible with your current phone

Get Nova Launcher, you can drag & drop uninstall

Can't Install Apps Not From Play Store

I recently purchased a Nexus 10. I'm trying to install the Amazon App Store which is not in the Play Store, but instead is a file that I can download from Amazon. I've selected "Unknown Sources" option in the security settings and when I go to install the Amazon App Store App it gives me the option to install it, but it won't actually let me select the install button. I'm not rooted at all and running a totally stock version of Android 4.2.2 on my Nexus 10. Any ideas as to how I can get this app to install with out rooting my tablet?
I didn't have any problems installing it. Do you have any device administrators activated on your device which might block 3rd party apps?

I just checked and I don't have any device administrators turned on. Is it possible that it's a 4.2.2 issue?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
It should allow you to install it. I'd either try re downloading the apk or factory reset.

So after rebooting a few times, it worked. So weird.

Do you have screen filter installed? I had the same issue,I couldn't click on install when screen filter was on. So just deactivate it and you can click on install again. No need to reboot.
After playing around a little, I discovered that it was the Screen Adjuster app that I had downloaded. As soon as I uninstalled the app, everything worked perfectly.

Skype crashes on app launch

I've tried to download many versions of skype but none of them seem to work.
When I open it up it shows the logo and a transition to show the login options. It doesn't quite make it to the login options as it automatically seems to close itself before it can.
Anyone had this problem?
