Don't use pirated apps , But if you legitemately purchased them, you could try downgrading your market, or clear your market cache.

this can happen if the app is removed from the market i have found that the app panda home even thou i could find it on the market it was removed but click on the notification it should tell u why

[RESOLVED] Download Declined Error
File this case under stupid user tricks:
I kept getting this error when trying to download a purchased app from the Google Market. The app showed in the market as purchased but as soon as it started to download the error would pop up: "Download declined".
Finally I remembered I had originally gotten the app from Getjar. When I went there the app downloaded with no problems. In the future I will need to remember the source of each purchased app, Amazon, Getjar, Market etc. Hope this helps some other bumbler like me.

[Q] Problems with Amazon App Store

Hi everyone,
I recently installed the CyanogenMod-7.1.0-tenderloin-alpha3.5 mod on my HP Touchpad.
Overall i find it a bit buggy, but it is still pretty awesome.
I have one major problem that I cannot seem to find a way around. When i first installed the mod, i tried to download the amazon app store. the app wouldn't install and i received the message that the download "failed".
so i tried the next day and it downloaded no problem. i used the amazon app store for several days and then one day apps that i selected would not download. i tired clearing the app data, rebooting, and nothing worked, so i decided to delete the amazon app store app and try to download it again. however now i cant download it.
i searched this forum and saw the tip to delete the device from your list of devices on amazon. i did that and it still wont work.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
I would just say keep trying. I have been using the Amazon App Store on my Touchpad since alpha 1 with no hang up and I'm on 3.5 as well.
After doing the update to alpha3.5, be sure to reset the date and time in the settings, otherwise lots of apps will suddenly stop working.
The date and time are correct, but the app store still will not download
When I did mine I was having issues as well but there was an option to have them email it to me. Then I just downloaded it from my email and ran it on the touchpad...

[Q] Detaching app from market to purchase it again!

One of my friend have installed a pirated app of swiftkey...now the market have started throwing error for him for swiftkey and it had stopped giving predictions. He came to me asking for help. I told him i can only help in case he purchase it (and sale was also going on) so when he went to his market to buy it shows there already purchased (even after uninstalling from phone). I tried for him by detaching the app from the market from titanium backup but still it shows there. Cleared all cache and data for the app and market and still no avail. Is there any way to fix this or will have to go ahead and buy from another google account and have multiple accounts added in market ?
*(sorry for informal english and any grammatical errors that might have made their way in)*
Thanks much in advance!!
I have never heard of a pirated app showing as 'purchased' in the app store.
Uninstall the app.
Clear app store cache and data. Reboot.
if it shows as purchased, just reinstall. If not, buy it.
It seems like he wants the legit app and not the pirated one. If the app store shows it as purchased, and he/you, whoever, downloads it, it will be the legit app. The app store will not give you a pirated version.
I see no problem here, other than your friend pirates apps.
Titanium Backup has ability to detach apps from Market.

No it doesn't work like that. When I get free apps off amazon the market sometimes shows when they need to be updated. If you try to update them, it gives you an error saying you didn't pay for it. If you uninstall the app, it will still show up as purchased, and you won't be able to purchase it or install it.

No it shows. Normally when u install apps from Amazon or use some apk for testing then those apps too show as purchased in the market. U cant reinstall from the market and neither can purchase them. Market doesnt allow you to repurchase the purchased item(though infact it was never purchased).
I have tried detaching it from market though TiB but still this doesnt get fixed.
Not sure if reflashing the whole rom after a full wipe will help.
Anybody??

Detaching doesnt help Already done that.
You could try buying it from the market website. Apps not installed from the market will not show under My Apps but if you search for the app on your device it will show as installed since it probably detects the app on the device itself.

No luck there too. Web market also shows that the app is purchased. Guess its synced to google market's servers and even reflashing wont work after full wipe.

That is weird that it happens that way. It has not happened to me and I use amazon market and have pushed many apps to my phone. I have not encountered this. Also, android market has never prompted me to update an app that I got from Amazon.
Not saying it does not happen, it seems obvious that it does, it just has not happened to me.
Is the app available on Amazon market? If so, can he just purchase it from there?

Was referring the Amazon apps case as stated by Waddle in the above post. And sadly Amazon not available in our country
I seem to have this issue as well. Trying to move away from amazon market and re-purchase my apps on the android market, however the amazon purchased apps are showing in my android market as purchased and I can't get rid of it.
Any other ideas on how this can be fixed?
sign in with another google id and you can buy it again.But this way has it draw backs too..
I have the same problem with swiftkey... I got it from the GetJar store a few months ago but it was an old version and i uninstalled it. now I cant buy it from the market as it is shown as purchased. and as said by abhisahara nothing seems to help.
cant anyone think of something to do?
Same thing going on here
oddly enough, I had dead space and shadowgun then i saw the 50% off and i uninstalled both from my android and then i went and purchased dead space and it worked but then went to purchase shadowgun and it shows as purchased and i cannot neither download it nor purchase it. It is becoming annoying. Any ideas?
have you tried uninstalling it from within the market app on your Android device?
My forum colleague found a way. Here is the solution - it's a croatian forum so i will write it here in english.
1. open Google play (Market) in Chrome browser (on your desktop/laptop) and find the wanted app (best would be that you backup the app via Ttitanium backup if you can, and uninstall it)
2. right click at PURCHASED, and select Inspect element
3. above the selected row you'll see data-ispurchased="true". Look at the screenshot (if the sshot doesn't work, PM me)
4. change"true" in "false" and select enter (on your keyboard)
5. now click PURCHASED that will open the popup for buy via google wallet so you can purchase the app (of course, you must have a valid credit or visa card and a registered wallet account for this to work)
it worked for me. bought two apps, cut the rope and quell reflect.
maybe it works in other browser, didn't try it.
had some problems with downloading the second app. had re-change the inspect element to true. and after the re-check the app started downloading on my phone.
thanks to my pce forum colleague Lacy for this info.
It really works, I've been looking for ages !
After a few tries and uninstalling the app from my phone, I could purchase it. No more update worries !

You sir are a life saver!
if you only have phone access, I installed the 2.3.6 Market, purchased, then installed Google Play again.

[Q] Buying an app previously downloaded from the black market

Hi,
I downloaded an app from the black market a while ago, now it's on sale in the real market and I want to buy it.
I uninstalled it but it shows up as "Purchased" on Google Play and when I try to download I get an error saying it failed because I haven't purchased it.
I tried breaking the market link (with Titanium pro), it didn't help
What can I do? Phone (Atrix 4G) is rootet of course..
Thanks
Try buying it from the website instead of the phone.

Clear the market data and cache. You might have to reboot. Also make sure that you are at normal dpi for your phone.
Absolution 3.7/Redemption ICS A2b1
Found only an option to clear search history. Also, what is DPI?
edit: ok, stupid question. found it, tried it and rebooting now
Cleared date, cache and search history
Rebooted
Got the "we're upgrading to Google Play" message again and had to accept the T&C again
But still, shows as purchased...
I did this with another app in the past and didn't have this problem. After I uninstalled what I got from the black market I could immanently purchase it on the Android Market. Maybe it's because of the upgrade to Google Play?
Same here:
When XDA posted the article Over 100 Paid Apps For Free On GetJar, I went ahead and downloaded few apps from there. Now I want to really buy a couple of the apps that I like and I can't.
I tried:
- install the apk from getjar, unlink from market (with TB), uninstall apk
- install the apk from getjar, link to market (TB), uninstall from device
- clean data/cache for the app and the market
- uninstall
- wait.
- Report to market that I did not buy it.
and still: after 2 days with the app uninstalled, the Google Play Market still says "Purchased".
What can I do?
I don't know even it insists on these 2 apps of many that I have, the others doesn't show as installed or purchased even thought they are on my device at the moment :|
Update:
The solution is to install an older version of the marker, in which the app appears as Not purchased, and can be purchased without problems, here is the working version of the market (com.android.vending-2.3.6.apk):

This WORKED!
Just for the information:
Google Market 3.5.16 fixes this issue definitely: now it will not show side loaded apps as Purchased in any case, like this apps installed via Amazon, GetJar, APK, Black market are treated as just "Installed" in the Play Market. You can uninstall them from the market, and when you choose "Update" from the Play Market you'll be shown the "Purchase" dialog to buy the app.
Great to see Google care about Side loaded apps...

[Q] "this item cannot be installed in your country"?

so i live outside the US and to make most of all android apps and games visible in my google play is to use market enabler. and it is working since forever until lately, when i try to download cheezia, real steel, cheeseman, mars smash and many other games then the box says "this item cannot be installed in your country".
its weird, usually its not like this. i can press download, and accept download the permissions then when the download about to start this message appear "this item cannot be installed in your country". its annoying because usually its not like this and i even already use market enabler to trick my phone that i live in the US.
do any one of you mini pro, mini, lww users has this problem too?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582422
try this.......
nevermind. close this thread please.
cant believe i fixed it just by clearing the data and cache of the google play
I cleared the cache and app data and it still isn't working for me. Im trying to get the HBO GO and MAX GO because it works with my ICS phone FINALLY! My phone is rooted and has market enabler.

[Q] HELP! Market crash on my Live With Walkman

I have a Live with Walkman (WT19i) that recently has been rooted. I use original live Walkman ROM (gingerbread 2.3.4 build number 4.0.2.A.0.58).
I'm not using any custom ROM, just this original, and never faced any problem at all. The problem started when I found a patch of Google play store on a forum. The steps was to put the apk into the system and change the permission. I guessed I already do the right steps, and then rebooted my phone. But after that, whenever I tried to open the Market, there was an error message 'com.android.vending has stopped working'. I tried to clear data and cache but no luck. I tried to install a lot of different Play Store apk but still the same. after I tried several times, the market opened but when I tried to download, the error popped up again. I cleared data and cache several times. succeeded in open the market again. But when the market told me to agree to the ToS with my email, it FC again.
I got frustrated and then I tried Reset Factory. It wiped all my data, and the worst is after the Reset Factory, I couldn't find the 'market'. It's really made me frustrated. Then I found a similar problem with me at this forum [http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...-com-android-vending-has-stopped-unexpe.html] which tell me to install those apk one by one. The Market is for HTC phone, but it works for me until now. The application stays as 'Market' not "Play Store", I can open and download the apps from there, BUT maybe because the server of that Market is from India (while I'm from Indonesia), sometimes when I browsing/downloading, it took several minutes to loading. AND ALSO whenever I tried to open Paid Applications from market, I got that 'com.android.vending' error message again.
Then I realized that at the very beginning of this Market version, it does asked me to agree with ToS of Market, BUT without a detail of my email, only the agree sentence (While in the Play Store, it comes with current email, right?).
And then I also realized that some applications with my registered email in my phone, such as YouTube has a problem I never faced before this Market problem. When the YouTube ask me to Sign in with my email, I put it in and after that the YouTube FC. I reopen it, and an error appears like this 'an error occurred'. But the YouTube still opened, just that error appears every time I open YouTube.
So I realize that maybe something is wrong with my email in my phone. It is like this:
- The actual Play Store ask to agree with ToS with the email stored on my phone, but it suddenly FC. While my current Market (HTC version) didn't comes with email at the beginning of ToS and doesn't FC.
- Before I got this Market problem, my YouTube always signed in without problem. But now, that 'an error occurred' message always popped up every time I open YouTube but it doesn't FC.
- I realized that when we open a Paid Application from market, it needs our email detail which I think that trigger the error of my market again since it related with email.
BUT there is no error in my Gmail application in my phone. It sync messages like usual. That is I don't know why,
And one thing. For now, whenever I tried to install a Play Store apk, it never succeeded. It always ended "Application not installed".
Only this HTC version of market that I got from that forum could be installed. I don't know why.
I'm really confused right now because I don't know what to do with this since I used my original ROM. I've searched several forum including XDA, but there are only with custom ROM which I'm afraid I couldn't touch it with my original ROM and beside I don't really know much about this kind of problem, only the basic knowledge for rooted phone users. Please help mo to resolve this problem because I really love my phone so much and want it works without problem...
Please help and thank you very much before..
Anyone please..?

Perhaps you should try posting your questions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2054
Since you wiped your data, flash a ftf file with flashtool. It should work, as it has never failed me.
