Android Market showing apps as not installed

Hi there,
For some strange reason when I go to my apps in the android market the list on the left hand side shows all the apps I have on my device, but it says that they are not installed! I have the option to install them again (even though they are installed) but when I press install it just opens the app instead but the list does not change it just still looks like it's not installed.
it's like the market is not recognizing that I have the apps installed. I know it seems very confusing.
Any body else encountered this problem befor?

Try clearing the app cache for Market.

This.
Randomly happened to me a few days ago. Said my mobile had nothing in it. If you try and install via web browser, it will say this error.

Tried clearing the cache but it's still the same. Tried installing through the browser but it's still the same, I get an error saying app already exists.
lists still show nothing is installed even though they are! lol!
This market really has some strange behaviour :-\

Just fixed it... I had to completely remove my Google account in the settings and set it all back up and re-sync everything.
Thanks for your help

Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped....

Every 20 minutes I see this annoying message. Am I the only one? I'm running Jr6 ROM.

Try deleting the data in settings, manage apps, play store, then delete data.

I am getting this error. I am rooted and have changed the DPI. Going to try fix mentioned above. Will report back.

This method did help significantly lower the amount of force closes I was seeing. Since I was mostly seeing this error when returning to the home screen, I removed all play store widgets and haven't experienced any force closes since. I haven't tried re-adding those widgets since I didn't even use them.
Thanks Rycon33!

The Play Store doesn't work anymore.

Long story short: since yesterday I have been unable to update any installed apps, or install new ones. When I try to do so, the app shows in-store as "downloading" but nothing actually happens and it's stuck at this stage forever. Stopping and restarting the service doesn't fix this, nor does completely powering off and on. Internet through the browser works as usual, as do all internet-enabled apps. I haven't installed or removed any software recently - the only change I did in the past 2 days is flash a new CWM recovery (went from 6.0.1.0 to 6.0.1.9) but I don't see what this has to do with the store.

I had this happen to me. If you go into settings > apps and clear data from Google Play Store, that fixed for me.

What rom are you using?

Stock. However I'm still on 4.1.2 - I blocked OTA updates until the current 4.2/4.2.1 bugs are fixed.

It's a long shot, but you can try to install the latest Gapps package from recovery. Or remove and re-add your Google account.

Would you happen to know where I can find the latest gapps package? Thanks!
(edit) found it http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip
Edit2) Oops the 11/30 gapps don't work with 4.1.x anymore, will try 10/11 instead.

Since you're on a 4.1.2 rom, get the one for CyanogenMod 10.0.x

I same issue last night. Downloads were very slow. All stock on latest ROM.

Holy f*! The browser works, however downloading through the browser doesn't. I get "download starting" then nothing happens. Same with Chrome. I quickly checked if I'm not out of storage space - no, I have 8GB free. WTF is going on?

I figured it out. last week I was trying to solve my battery drain problems (can't find the thread anymore) and I ended up disabling the media storage service. That apparently disabled any app from downloading anything. I have re-enabled it and now can download. The store works, browsers work etc. I just hope that the battery hogging doesn't happen again.

When I have play store issues I just sign out of Google talk and sign back in and it fixes my problems .. also close the market after..

Doesn't matter if you use Google talk or not... For some weird reason the play store uses Google talk some how it may be to authenticate

If you can't download at all, a good method can be to clear data from "Google Framework Services" , delete google Account, reboot, recreate your Google Account.

I had the same problem. Enable download manager fixed it for me. After I did that all the apps I had tried to install started downloading and play store stayed open and did not force close.
Settings>apps>all>download manager

[Q] [HELP] Google Search has stopped (tried all the fixes...)

Running stock 4.2.1, stock kernel.
Cleared cache and dalvik, rebooted back into rom.
Now Google Now force closes. If I clear data on "Google Search" app, and select not to enable Google Now, all is well.
As soon as I try to enable it, it crashes.
Tried fix permissions, didn't work.
Also disabled location settings, and allowed me to open google now.
Next I enabled settings, but only GPS. This worked as well.
Once I had GPS AND wifi, it crashed again.
Tried removing updates, restarting, clearing google framework data, etc.
What am I missing?

can't launch google now
I just started getting the same problem today. I can't launch the Google Search app without it immediately crashing (Unfortunately Google Search has stopped. Report / OK). If I reset data on the app I can launch it again until I turn on Google Now after which it crashes immediately again.
I'm on a stock Nexus 4, boot loader never been unlocked, not rooted, etc. I can't seem to find any other mentions of this problem anywhere.

Anyone else? I've been driving myself nuts trying to fix it!
Thinking of just dirty flashing stock again...

I'm pretty sure it's a server side problem with Google Now data that is causing the app to crash.

What I figured. Now I'm missing my Nexus 7 from the My Devices tab. Somethings going on. Just can't find any news/reports of it.

Yeah, I don't understand why nobody else is encountering this problem.
This thread is the only relevant result in web search.
There are 3 other people encountering the same issue on Google+ but I cannot post links because I just created this account.
Search for "google now crashes" on Google+ and you should see a few others with the same problem but no solutions.

My gs3 started doing fc'ing after I installed a new room. Hope it is something server side because I can't fix it.

Problem seems to have fixed itself.

Error Inflating Widget- Fire HD8 Issue

I noticed today for the first time that, when I'm multitasking on my Fire HD8, a bar appears at the top of the screen saying "Error inflating widget".
I've never seen this before,and it does not show if I hit the multitasking button with no programmes running. I've deleted all the new apps I've installed today (as this error has never appeared until now) and cleared app cache & data files before deleting them.
Since then, I've rebooted my device multiple times but the error bar is still there.
Anyone able to help me remove this bar?

I have the same problem. I used to be able to solve it by uninstalling the Google app and reinstalling it (I've had to do this a lot in the past couple of weeks attempting to get Google Assistant to work) but that trick isn't working anymore and this error notification is driving me up the wall

Yup, thought it was do to with Google but uninstalling & reinstalling does nothing!

Same here......maybe something to do with the new firmware?

I'm not sure, but I'm just getting used to it (though it still irritates my subconscious)
