Hi, sort of an odd request.
I usually use Titanium Backup on flashing new roms to restore what I have previously purchased. Recently I got two free apps of the day from Amazon, and downloaded one (Drisk) which I want to purchase now.
Problem is I restored on flashing a new rom, and tried the link to market on these apps. I have detached it in Titanium Backup and uninstalled the app, but the problem is now even on the web browser, these apps are incorrectly showing as purchased, so I cannot buy them which is what I want to do.
I have cleared all market data, detached in TB, uninstalled, and it still thinks I bought them, but on install it states declined.
How can I undo/fix this so I can buy these apps through the official market?
Update, in the event others have this issue. I had to detach from market in TB, uninstall, then clear data/cache for the Market app. It seems after waiting they gradually correct the status in the market. I have been able to buy 2 of the 3 apps now, just waiting for the last one to show as non-purchased again.

How do you "detach" in TiBU?

Hello! I am so unbelievably desparate I'm almost ashamed of myself hahaha did this method work for you? I "obtained" an emulator and then the market believed I had purchased it and now am unable to buy it so I can own the amazing app....so disappointing. Contaced Google and the developer--only Google answered and with the generic "We are aware of this problem and are currently working on it." I'm curious...once I detach from market through TB, how long must I wait until the option changes from "purchase" to buy?"
Hello everyone!
I first reported it here, I've come to realize that this issue affects users of various roms, so I thought I'd ask here.
When going into the market, "my apps" list is empty, since yesterday.
The things I've tried include:
restarting
ticking and unticking "unknown sources"
cleaning market cache and data
upgrading and downgrading the market app
installing free and paid apps
removing and reinstalling the market itself
freezing and unfreezing the market using TB
running "market doctor" from TB
uninstalling non-market apps
I googled and searched this forum quite a bit, but there seems to be no recent feedback on such an issue, and the suggested methods don't work.
Demonstration image attached, courtesy of marvi0. This is from the latest market app. When using 3.1.5 or earlier, the page is just blank.
This seems to be a cross-rom issue, as I am using HyperDroid-Androidmeda-v2.8.7 and users reported it happening with Criskelo's ROM and Pulser's ROM as well. So far, 5 reports were collected.
A strange behavior I've noticed is that following a restart, while the storages are being scanned, I was able to briefly access the list. After 2 seconds, it refreshes into the blank again. Being not the only one with this issue, I'd deduct it's not device-specific.
I'd be glad to provide more details, and appreciate any input on this issue.
Check which gmail account the market is linked to, if you are using more than 1 account.

I only use one account, always. Forgot to mention
Also, the website (market.android.com) is fine and functioning, displaying all of my apps. The problem is... I can't check for updates now.

I have the same issue since last night. I even restored a nandroid backup (when I didn't have that issue) and problem perssisted. I am using Criskelo v75 ROM. I was told by Android Market "support" that there is nothing to do since I don't have the stock ROM (but problem is in the cloud: it is a Google problem!). So I will flash the stock ROM and I will send the screenshots to that support guy, he will work then or he will say "I don't wanna work so I will do like in your last message: nothing at all"...

I believe the same. It can't be rom-related, because users of different roms report this. I see that too many users face this...

Ok, maybe is a problem with the current account because I did full wipe (dalvik cache, cache and data), I installed one app from Market and... this app (and other integrated in the ROM appeared in "My apps"!!!! :O. I restored my nandroid backup but problem perssisted. I will unlink my Google account from my phone and I will link it again: maybe this is the solution.

Had no doubt that a full wipe will solve this, but the trick is pinpointing the actual problem...
Currently I am uninstalling everything (all user apps) from my device using the batch option in TB. I'll keep you posted!
EDIT:
It obviously helped. Uninstalling everything, then redownloading almost anything I had on my device. Currently I am downloading, this will be followed by restoring the data using TB. I have a long evening ahead of me
I'll try to pinpoint the exact app/place the error takes place.
I have had exactly the same problem, and over the last two days have tried absolutely every possible solution. I have tried three different market versions, wiping cache, data, uninstalling apps, restoring previously working back ups, The closest I came to a fix was to delete all back ups in Titanium back up, then factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik, in Cwm, then reboot and re sign into Google account installing all my apps through the now working market.
However on doing another back up in TB and checking the market again I have the same message in "my apps " applications and games owned by this account will appear here soon!,
They never do! I am currently running latest Cyanogen nightly with latest Siyah kernel, I have also tried with cyan kernel.
Searching around on Google this does appear to be a problem for many other android users, and I suspect the fault lies with Google, However any possible solutions would be appreciated, This has took over my life for two days!
It happens to me too. In fact i've seen that i have several accounts bounded to the market (menu >> accounts) and one has no applications ! check this and select all accounts...

I have only one account on Google, and it is already pre selected when I press menu, accounts, I have no other option and selecting my highlighted account just re confirms. And closes dialogue box.
Don't know if this will work as I have never had the issue, but have you tried any of the market enabler hacks / apps?
Might be worth a try?

I eventually solved it by deleting everything I had, redownloading everything again and restoring the data manually. Wasted evening

I haven't done anything else finally but uninstalling some apps (I had over 300 and I have 210 now haha) and after that apps appear in "My apps" :O. Amazing!!! I don't understand anything at all.

Had any apps that weren't installed from the market? E.g. manual APK installation, linked apps from Amazon Appstore, apps from alternative markets and such. Maybe it was triggered by a specific app...
Same problem, I think its related to the new market.

Yes I do have apps from other markets, but I have "fixed this" once by wiping all data,re signing into market, restoring market apps there, then restoring all remaining other apps through TB, at this point market and My apps was working okay, However on creating a new back up in TB this problem re occurred.
As a footnote updates can be found and performed via the market, using Appbrain. I am at the point I have tried all possible solutions and firmly believe the fault lies with Google.
my issue was slightly different. I have 72 apps installed but in Market only 30 of them where visible since yesterday and one app (Antutu) shown to be updated - but even the update for antutu was not possible. Therefore I uninstalled Antutu und installed it again and surprising in the Market are now all 72 apps visible again.
So it seems some apps which have to be updatet brake the Market and do not show the app list or just partially.

I uninstalled 92 apps: I can't write by hand all those apps here! hahaha. But I will answer your questions: I had (and I still have some) manual APKs installations, I haven't ever had any app from a different Market. I had Market apps too.
A guy in a spanish forum (http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?p=3098961 (I started that thread) told that it happens with no official ROMs for the device and/or different DPI. I mean: if you have an HTC Legend with Cyanogenmod 7 your phone will be identified as a Nexus (I think), but your Legend DPI is lower than the Nexus DPI. Google ban those devices in the Market. But it doesn't make sese since I haven't installed a different ROM or changing the DPI in my Samsung Galaxy S!!!!
I hope this helps.
PS: all the affected users should write to Google in order to open a ticket and force them to work on it, instead of claiming about it in forums as I did hahaha (but I wrote to Google too )
This is now widely reported for all Android devices, and has an open issue on the Android Market Forum. Google is "aware and working on it".
For those who got their list back, don't be surprised if it goes away again, and don't fight with it - it's not you, it's them
Your market web library should still list all your apps, and I'm using AppBrain to get update notifications until they get it figured out.
I restored some apps after installing tasks latest rom, by the way this has NOTHING to do with his rom. Anyway a few apps have been attached to the market that I bought from other sites. I cannot remove them, I have tried everything, uninstalling them and the market, re installing the apps then the market, using tb to install backup apps without data and then the market without data, clearing all caches for apps and market, and whole cache with cwr. If i use tb to detach app from market, then open the market and press my apps they are gone, but as soon as the list refreshes they are back :-(. This isn't a major problem, just very annoying.
Any help would be great
Also on my stock rom i have the same problem, the apps must be locked in to my market account or somthing
Over 80 views and no reply.....lol
Over 150 now lol :-O has nobody got any ideas?
I'm bumping this cause I'm having the same issue. I got apparatus from Amazon months ago, but it no longer receives updates. Since it's one of the 10 cent apps today I've tried installing it from the market. I'm seeing a same issue as the OP. I've uninstalled, detached from the market etc.. but when I go into the Android market it's still marked purchased. Any ideas?
I have the same issue...it seems you have to be on the ROM that the app was initially linked to the market. I have gotten a few apps to detach, but only the ones that I installed on my current ROM.
I tried going back to previous ROMs for the other apps but it wouldn't work.
Really dumb...the only actual solution is to make another account for purchasing apps.
It happened to me all on the same rom, still can not detach them on any rom. It is more the annoying now as all the apps coming on for 0.10, I can't buy them cos if I uninstall them they still show as purchased but can't download them cos the market finds no license. Getting annoying now. My phone doesen't show them as purchased as I use the same account on phone and tab, my phone just shows the apps I actually purchased on the market.
This app has this feature:

Lol if you had read my op you wouldn't have wasted time posting that link.
As I said, tb does not work. And all these months later I still have the problem. Never found a solution. Just gave up and learned to live with it. Unfortunely the only way of updating them apps is downloading pirated copies, I don't care if that is wrong cos I payed for the apps and games so am entitled to the updates lol
What is this error and how do I fix it?
Logging into my freshly hard-reset device via Market I get a white box that states:
"Applications and games owned by this account will appear here"
I THOUGHT I solved it myself by following my own advice:
Clear data and cache.
Didn't work the first time and it seems to be randomly recurring,.... and now it's always happening, which leads me to believe it is a GOOGLE issue.
Just in case anyone else has this issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
I restored from a previously functional backup and still no dice.
It's happening to me, also. Calk's 2.0 on a Sprint S2 E4GT.
Cleared Market cache and data, no dice. Tried switching Market back-and-forth to another Google account, no dice.
Happily, I can still get updates via AppBrain.
I have a theory that it was due to something that I extracted from my CWM backup via Titanium Backup.
Did you by any chance do something similar?
I don't think my theory is in any way accurate. Something seems to be going on with the Google server end. I wish they'd fix it.
find a solution (maybe someone find one BETTER)
i have tried anything to solve this problem but no dice. now i have installed KL1 (wipe version ) and the market works perfectly
i also have heard about many problem with market on KK5..
Interestingly enough, My Apps worked correctly ... once ... after I flashed Calk's 2.0.1a over 2.0.
Still using AppBrain to sync updates.
On evo3d, this seems to be a widespread problem across many phones even on stock software. I've been experiencing for a couple months now. Do you have any sideloaded apps, bootleg or amazon or mikandi? My theory is that the 3rd party apps are interfering with the market. I have amazon apps that show in google market as purchased. I uninstalled everything and reloaded with my titanium backup, marked as sideloaded, worked for about a week then the market started reassoiciating itself with my 3rd party apps and broke again. appbrain doesnt pick up all updates either, I've been waiting for about a week for it to pick up the beautiful widgets update and hasnt so far. this sucks.
try this solution. download and install appbrain. sync your google account with appbrain and then click "sync" on apprain. when sync is finished, open market and now it works . please check this

no no no this damn problem is back. I think it was a problem kk5. I have check rom revo v4
he he, anyone that experieced this problem has blackmart alpha installed
follow this solution:
uninstall blackmart alpha. go to manage application, market>force stop it>clear cache>clear data
go to market accept user agreement
now it will work. please tell me
I have same problem before restore my apps with titanium on XWKK5; so, I think it was an error for use market doctor with system apps, then I clear all market links with Titanium and works, market came back lo list my apps but before install some apps I have the problem again and delete market link doesn't work; when I restore XWKK2 nandroid, market works fine and I never install balckmarket or similars, I've wrote to google support but only says clar cache and data from market, but doesn't work and never responding me ...
PD: Sorry for my english, I'm from latinoamerica
This is definitely a problem which surfaces with KK5.
Upon upgrade to KL1, the problem vanishes. Flashing back to KK5, even factory reset, brings it back.
I've seen my stuff in My Apps just once in several weeks...immediately after flashing Caulk's 2.5 full. Worked correctly once, then everything dissapeared again.

Same here. Flashed Calk's 2.5 full, market worked fine first time I selected "My Apps". Second time I tried, I would get one of the following:
- "Apps and games owned by this account will appear here."
- "Applications and games owned by this account will appear here."
I'm attaching a screenshot. (BTW, tried reflashing the ROM, did not solve the problem.)
EDIT: Posted the issue in the ET4G Q&A section as well

I've been running KK2 (Australian) version for around a week and all has been well until today when I've got the same error message.
Had it previously on other versions of KK2 and KK5 but now it's back.
Haven't done anything today to cause it...come on Google, sort it out

I have figured out how to fix this with titanium backup. Basically, you use the remove all market links option then attach each app back with titanium one by one. Pay attention to what apps you add back, excluding any from Amazon app store. Reboot and wait. After about a half a day things will be back to normal

I think it's only available to pro versions. It's actually labeled "Destroy all Market links" in the "market tools" menu item.
So i need some help
Im trying to purchase some apps and I had apks for them previously to test them out and now im actually trying to buy one and it says purchased on android market
so i tried clearing the market data and cache and such but no luck
and when i click install on the app it just says cant install because you havent purchased the app
you would need to flash a stock ROM.
I had the same issue, this is what I did:
1. NAND backup
2. Flashed rooted stock ROM
3. Purchase apps
4. Restore NAND backup

After using a stolen app (or "testing" as you call it) it will cause this issue even if you uninstall the stolen software. You can use TB to freeze the old market and market updater. Download an apk of an old market version, unfreeze market, and conduct the purchase of the app. Once done, unfreeze the updater and reboot, and it will then show as purchased and be correct. There seems to be no other way.
Basically get an old version of the market running. You may have to use TB to detach the app from the market too.
How can you steal something that isn't corporeal anyway?

If Reinstall the app and then use Titanium backup you can Detach it by long pressing on which ever app your trying to purchase by selecting Detach from Market, then uninstall it and look it backup on the Market!!
What I've done (and its worked for me) is to clear all defaults, cache and data of the app before uninstalling.
Try reinstalling the apk, and doing that first then download from the market and see if it workes for you too

You can go to the Android market from a computer and purchase the apps. They don't show up as purchased. I think this is the easiest way around it. If i helped hit thanks.
Finally got it working!! It seems that on old Market versions this bug did not exist. So I did the following:
Method 1:
1. Go to Settings\Applications\Manage applications\All\
2. Look for "Market" or "Google Play Store"
3. Click on "Uninstall Updates"
4. Now go to the Market (should be the old green/white version) and install your desired app. It should no longer say "Purchased" and Presto!!
But you have to be fast before the market updates itself to "Google Play Store" or you can freeze the "Market Updater" app using Titanium Backup so you can do your thing without worring of it updating to the new version.
Method 2:
Find an old Market apk and replace the current one. Not sure which version it works because once I purchased my app it immediately updated the market and didn't give me chance to see the version .Should be the green/white app we had before.
Hope it works for you guys too!
