Hi guys,
I have been facing this problem fro the day I bought my milestone and still on my razr. I want to buy some apps from Android market which I really like but it does not let me to buy as it says "purchased" when I have not purchased these. I tried to detach those apps frm market thru titanium backup pro but still no help. Pl help guys.. Thanks.

I believe the app is tied to your google account so it doesn't matter what device you try to access it from, it will always show up as purchased. You'll have to set up a different account and purchase the app through that account in order to re-purchase it or attempt to purchase the app.
If I use other acc to purchase it then my other apps that I have purchased will not b synced with that AC so will make no sense. But thanks for the help. Any other way guys or is it I m the only who is facing this problem.

Long shot but try clearing data and cache from your Market app?

Those apps registered in market as bought or installed are linked to email account and device IMEI, cleaning data and cache will not erase this registry

What happens when you click on the app? It does not give the option to download?
yesh same thing is happening to me
It happens because you had previously this app installed illegal, I did the same, I wanted to test tapatalk and I downloaded full version from the internet. Now I can't buy tapatalk because Market showing is already bought, I can't download and I can't buy it. It's really sucks cause I don't want to use it illegal.
Yup same thing.. It gives u an option to download but says download failed..

I found solution:
(You need root to do it)
1. Download Market v. 2.3.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028491
2. Uninstall Market updates and clear data and cache. Rename Phonesky.apk (In my RAZR it's the name of market, could be Vending.apk in other ROM's)
3. Use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and copy Vending2.3.6.apk to /system/app (set permission same as other apk's). Reboot RAZR.
4. Run Android Market and very quick try to buy app of your choice. I had to do it twice because I had force close after a minute, when FC happens clear Android Market data and try again. I had FC during tapatalk downloading, it's no problem I installed it after I restored latest Market.
5. When you finished, delete Vendink2.3.6.apk from /system/app rename Phonesky.ap to Phonesky.apk, reboot and thats it! Now I have tapatalk Purchased
Can't you go to market on your computer (not the phone app) and remove old devices from your list? I remember needing to do this to get, IIRC, google voice to work correctly with my new phone at the time.
I imagine I will have to do the same tonight when the Droid comes in the Fed up truck.
The only ones you should have to repurchase are the ones tied specifically to the phone's id. The others should show up under "my apps" for redownloading.
That's what got me through this situation when I had it before.

I'm having the same issue. In my case I purchased some apps from the Amazon App Store. Now I want to get rid of all the Amazon apps (their app market isn't all that great) and replace them with their Android Market versions.
So this problem can occur without anyone stealing anything, fyi.
ETA: I just checked, and games purchased through the Humble Android Bundle are similarly effected--The Android Market thinks you own them, but will not let you purchase them through the Market. Bummer!
Humble Bundle, GetJar, Amazon...
Any luck guys with fixing this?
I have the same freaking problem with getjar! Will try your market fix.

Stock 16gb here.
I got it installed
I now have two market apps installed. It did not override the tablet market. Also, I don't have access to the movies section.
I tried it and uninstalled it within a minute or so. Obviously not optimized for tablets. will wait for official release.
Agree...looks good on the cell. Not so much on tablet. But it is working..

yea I have a feeling this is the same apk for both the mobile and tablet because it works better on my TB than my GT 10.1
even then, it is alot slower compared to the previous market so idk if this is worth it just yet
Damn...i broke my market. I uninstalled the new one...old one seemed to work until i try to install an app or load my apps. Then i get a com.Google.android.finsky force close. Ideas anyone?
Edit: a data wipe and restart fixed the issue.

yes data are not the same so have to clear it before installing the new one or after uninstalling it.
finsky is FC for me
I screwed up my market by installing then uninstalling this and wiping market data in settings and a reboot didn't fix the issue.
Market runs but when I click on the "My Apps" in the upper right I get a FC.
Can anyone send me the market vending files I need to push to my Tab's system/app folder to help me fix?
(and yes I know I am an idiot by not doing a Titanium Backup of Market before installing the new one).

See post #7 - Should do the trick.
Thanks for trying this out and reporting back, guys. I installed it on my Nexus S without issue but decided not to pull the trigger on my tab.
Looks great on MT4G. I will wait to install on my GT10.1
I own a Samsung Ace, and I bought it in Middle East. Apparently Android Market is officially not supported here yet.
Now the phone came with one installed in it. I used it fine, never bought any app but downloaded a lot of free apps. They ran fine and everything was good. Except for one thing that ever since I had been using the phone, it had the habit of occasionally shutting it down.
So I took the phone to Samsung care they rebooted the phone or reinstalled the OS. Irrespective of whether the phone's working fine or not, I no longer see the Market icon on my phone.
I have tried downloading a couple of apk online. But one of them force closed even before the Market opened. The second force closes itself when I select any app from the Market.
I can come up with only 2 solutions,
1. Some ACE user out there send me the apk.
2. Some geek tell me how to find the market apk inside the phone, since the phone came with market installed on it, so there has to be an apk file inside it.
Waiting for everyone's reply.
Login your GMail app.
or, install the CWM and install the gapps from there.
Using root explorer, go to system-> apps-> & install vending.apk

Dont jus say thanks, use d 'THANKS' button. [XDA RULE]
Just instal one of samfirmware ROM (if you brought your phone, then flash all except the modem (Phone)). The european roms have Android Market instaled by default (but you will lose your warranty). If you want, I can write a tutoriual for that.

Ok. I googled for it found the root explorer app on the android market webpage. But the app comes for a price. The same developer has another app by the name of explorer can i use that?

As long as it has root access, you should be able to shift gapps to the /system partition.
Install ES explorer and in the seetings mark root acess
For me best explorer and it's free

Market links apps that have been downloaded&installed outside market.how to stop it?
Hi,
This has been Bugging me for a while now... I'm a confident android user... and have had my HTC desire for over a year and a half, and now have an Asus transformer...
Basically, I have an app that I didn't download and install from the market, however, the market says that I have "purchased" the app and gives me a download button. If I click it I get an error message. An app in question is setCPU, I have downloaded it from xda, but now would like to buy the app to support the developer and get market updates.. at the moment this seems impossible for me to do... It is linked to my account as "purchased" even though I haven't actually purchased it...
This is the same with another app that I downloaded a while ago, and now I have some spare cash I would like download the app, get updates, and more importantly support the developer...
Also, PIRACY IS BAD, THESE ARENT PIRATED APPS.. SUPPORT DEVELOPERS!
Sorry for long post, and any mistakes, I wrote all this on my phone...
Hopefully someone can help me...
Many thanks,
Matt

thanks for the reply... what if the market doesn't have an uninstall button and only an open or update button...

In fact that didn't work for me... I uninstalled it via the market and it just said purchased... I then clicked install and it gave me an error...

I googled and found this
- Unlink the app from the market with titanium backup (long press on the app in titanium backup), uninstall the app
- Go to app setting menù and click on market apk, here you have to clear data/cache and uninstall the update
Now if you have the last market version installed by default, you have to download and install the previous version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=743249&d=1318041888
Now you have to find the app you want to buy on the old market before the phone update it again (if the app price is different don't worry, they will charge you the real price). Do this for every app you want to buy

thanks a lot... This has half worked.. I purchased the app, an got the order receipt email, but then market has stopped working, and is force closing. I will have to go back to the up to date market, download the app, then back to the old market and so forth... I'm actually fixing permissions at the moment, whih i doubt will help, but worth a shot!
anyway, thanks so much dude...!

removed android market from my device,after going to "all app" screen and tab on the bag icon on the top left of my device it will show an error saying "Application is not installed on your phone"
i tried to remove app folders and reboot several time,but i can't run the market
i need help restoring it,is there an installation file for the market on the photon ?
Google just changed market to Google Play. It was automatically installed on my phone.

did it go away from only the home screen or even from the top right app screen ?
I'm on my phone otherwise I'd do this but maybe someone can post the new vending apk (google play) and you should place it in /system/app, set the permissions the same as the other apks, then reboot.
Smart phones are garbage without a market.

Thanks But Unfortunately Didnt Work So I'm Stuck.
You can try removing your account from your device and then sign in again. I get this problem quite frequently on my Note , and Sgs2. I believe removing your account from any Android device requires you to format it.

Uninstall the updates of the Play store from "Manage Apps". Or replace your current "Vending.apk" from system/app with a 2.x version of market . Then everything should work. Don't worry, it will be updated to Play Store in few minutes.
go into settings select apps then look for market select it n clear data, iftht still dont work u can just download the file apk from the internet
