Market App Not Installed After 2.3 Update

I installed the 2.3 update on my Droid X and now the Market app is not installed.  This problem has been going on since the 2.2 update.  Why is it not fixed in 2.3?  I assume that a factory reset will correct the problem, but have not tried it yet.  I have lots of apps installed, including one app not in the marketplace and I need to make sure I can re-install them without paying again.
Are there any other options other than a Factory Reset?
Thanks.

Just found this on another forum... solved my problem.
If you have Astro file viewer then I have a solution for you;
Open astro, then click the up icon (Yellow Folder with green up arrow) till you get to the lowest level.
Then click the search icon and search for vending.apk, that's the real name for the Market app.
Click on the file name and you should be presented with the option to install it.
I had to delete my original shortcut as it no longer properly associated with the file, but it's easy enough
to make another one.
Also, if market crashes and "Forces Close" just re-open it and you should be good.

  • App not install after 3 days HELP

    I bought an app called Day One on the 15th of July, it still did not install after 3 days.
    Everytime I try to install it, this message comes up 'Day One failed to download use the purchases page to try again.'
    This is what shows up on the launchpad.

    Hey     
    Could you try updating to the latest version of iOS (8.3)?
    Let us know if the problem persists.

  • Apps not installing after FW update on my 5800XM

    Hi All,
    I just updated my 5800XM's FW to the latest version (40.0.005).
    After the FW update I can't install any apps on the phone. When I try to install an app, it gives an error Unable to start operation. Installer already in use. 
    I tried again after restarting the phone, but still no change.
    Would greatly appreciate any help on this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Gehan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Mine did that as well, but it did work again after I restarted the phone.
    Maybe it's just a question of leaving the phone alone for a while. It could be installing stuff in the background.

    i did the update by downloading the update only, then doing a restore... then uploading the update.. i also restored with my back up, then synched my phone.... but the apps , none of them, will upload... they are all in my itunes library, i have them checked in the apps folder for synching as i do a manual synch... but an error comes up saying they couldnt be synched???

  • Apple Mobile Device will not install after latest itunes update!!

    Having a lot issues with trying to get AMDS to install after installing the iItune update, as such unless this can be installed itunes will not recognise my iphone.
    This problem all started when I installed the latest update, everthing installed except apple mobile device, error message was " service apple mobile device failed to start verify that you have sufficent privileges to start system services. Have tried nurmerous uninstalls and reinstalls still no luck.  Tried the advice on restarting according to apple support but the problem is that AMDS is no where to be seen in the "services" to try and restart it (you can't start it if it is not installed). Tried individual install using itunessetup.exe through Winrar (applemobiledevice.msi) still no luck, the installer goes through intially but then it "rolls back" and states an error has occured and it can't install it.
    Running out of idea's and from looking at  the threads there seems to be alot of people with the same problem, but no fixes as yet, is there anyone out there that can sort this issue, as it would be much appreciated.

  • Apps not syncing after 2.1 update

    Weird situation... I can no longer sync any apps after 2.1 update. Just noticed it when I purchased several new apps today and they didn't sync. Every option and list in the Applications tab are greyed out... Apps on the phone remain the same. If I delete one from the phone, then I can no longer sync them back. Selecting Sync syncs everything else other than applications... it skips this everytime. Everything was okay on the last 2.0.2 sync just before the update...Has anyone experienced this problem after updating to 2.1? Kinda odd...

    I just went ahead and started new from scratch (AGAIN)...
    Restore then reinstall everything one by one.
    Unfortunately, I have never been successful with iPhone updates retaining my data and files from previous versions without any glitches. With EVERY UPDATE all files and information on my iPhone is lost everytime because iTunes was unable to transfer data from the backup stored with previous firmware prior to update or a glitch causes me to have to start fresh with a newly cleaned out phone. A message to the likes of "Incompatible with current firmware/iPhone" (or something to that affect) always pops up.
    What good is the iPhone if I have to encounter data loss everytime a new "bug-fixing update" is released. Having to literally start over-and-over again from scratch is extremely frustrating. This makes the iPhone the worst investment I've ever made and the Most Unproductive Device I've owned compared to previous Windows Mobile devices owned...

  • Apps not installing after anna update

    Non of the apps and not even themes are able to install from ovi store after updating my N8 to anna today. The apps download just fine but when it gets to the installation part it results in an installation error.
    My N8 product code 059c640
    I have already done a hard reset 2 times together with a full format of my mass memory and memory card before resetting and then after installation process I updated everything through ovi suite and mobile update tool OTA again.
    Helppppp.. What can i do????... I've tried many things already.

    Now I can't even do a hard reset with full format anymore... After experiencing these problems with Ovi Store I tryed to do another full format and hard reset...
    So this is what I did:
    Go to offline mode, take my simcard out, take my mem card out, after fully formatting both memories.
    Then I did *#7780#  and  *#7370#
    But after when the installation process is ready an rebooting.. all my contacts and widget with my facebook profile and Ovi Store and even my wake up alarmsare still set up. Everything is still there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not connected to Ovi Suite during the whole process... it seems I'm unable to erase all data. What can I do to reinstall my N8 ???? I have also tryed the 3 finger salute... but it just gives me the same result.
    What can I do?

  • My Verizon app not working after iOS 7 update

    I have an iphone 4s.  After I upgraded to ios 7, the my verizon app stopped working.  Today, the app got an update in the app store to version 3.6.0.  I installed the update, but it still does not work.  When I run it, it spins the circle dots for a while and comes back with "Error: A communication error has occured [sic]. Please ensure Internet connection and try again."  And it has a "Reload App" button, which I press, and it does the same thing.  This happens whether I'm on wifi or 3g.  Several times I've tried rebooting the phone, deleting and reinstalling the my verizon app, but it still doesn't work.  Does anyone else have this problem?  How did you solve it?  Thanks.

    I did the network reset, but that didn't help.  FYI if you're thinking of resetting network settings, the only negative side-effect is that the phone forgets all of its wifi networks.
    I did a restore from backup via iTunes, and that didn't help either.
    I've had a couple other issues with iOS 7, and what I did was reset the firmware via iTunes but I didn't restore from backup.  Now My Verizon works.  The reason I did this drastic step was because my Safari was messed up in iOS 7 in another way, and restoring from backup didn't help that either, but I had a hunch that getting Safari fixed would fix My Verizon.  (I can't know for sure if I was right about that.)
    Here's the thing:  Apps like My Verizon that really just load web pages use Safari's settings for the web. So I would try this if I were still stuck with My Verizon not working: Go into Safari settings, and clear cookies and history and cache data, and make sure the "Block Cookies" setting is set to either "Never" or "From third parties and advertisers."  Then reboot your phone for good measure, and try My Verizon again.

  • Apps not loading after 3.0 update

    Please help... My iPhone will not load any apps after the update. I have tried re-syncing, and even deleting and re-installing them but nothing will work. When I click on the apps they start to load but then it exits out of it. This happens to all of them. Please help because I am stuck and nothing seems to work.

    My 16GB iPhone 3G has been running 3.0 fine since last week. Now suddenly today all the app store apps quit back to the springboard screen a second or two after they launch. Built-in apps work fine still.
    This started after I was on a call, and switched to a purchased app while on the call. I got the green 'touch here to return to call' bar across the top of the screen. After a few minutes the other party hung up the call, while I was still in the app. Then there was nothing I could do to get rid of the green bar, short of resetting the phone. Ever since that, 3rd party apps crash on launch.
    I am trying resetting the phone to see if it helps.

  • Apps not opening after 4.2 update

    I performed the 4.2 update.  It took about an hour and a half for it to go through.  Everything was functional after the update.  I turned my iPod Touch off last night after recharging.  I turned it on this morning and none of my apps are opening.  They are there, but none of them will load.  Did anyone else have this issue?  If so, were you able to reslove this?  Also, can you give me the steps you did to get your iPod Touch apps back functional?  This is the main reason I stopped doing the updates because I always had issues afterward.  Please note, my last update was for 3.0.

    If resetting fix it you are done.
    If not then restore from backup
    If still problems, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - Resetting does not delete items.
    - Restoring from backup will leave you iPod like it was when the backup was made provided all your music and apps are in your iTunes library since music and songs are not in the backup but are synced to the iPod.
    - Restoring to factory defaults/new iPod means it is like an new iPod and you will have to add (sync) stuff to the iPod.

  • 3rd Party Apps not working after 3.1 update

    As the topic says, none of my third party apps are working at the moment. I tried doing a full restore and backup and that doesn't seem to do anything. I've also noticed that most of my music is not syncing, even though podcasts and movies are. I'm really trying to restore everything to the way it was because I have some valuable data on my third party apps that I really can't afford to lose.
    Any ideas?

    Same problem.
    iPhone 3gs 32MB and MacBook Pro w/ iTunes 9.0: Updated iPhone to 3.1 software today and all apps fail at launch except the native ones. Thinking it was an authorization problem, I tried to purchase an app on the phone. It downloads but also won't launch. I then bought it through iTunes 9.0 and synced, but that fails as well. Did a full restore, and one hour of sync time later no change.
    If this is happening to me it must be pretty common. I'm using all standard equipment that is under a year old. No jailbreak or other funky stuff. Anyone else with this problem please post. Not sure what else to do. Genius bar appts are booked up today, so booking for tomorrow night.

  • Apps not working after iOS 5 update

    My friend has updated his iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and some of his apps including facebook and twitter aren't working. Tried re-syncing and turning off and on but still not working. Any suggestions?

    Not my issue. Many apps do update fine. 5 pesky ones are being difficult and refuse to update. Tried on various wifi networks with same result. Other applications do update. All the latest as far as iOS is concerned although sadly I am still using an iPad 2.
    What is the same is only that a number of my applications in the App Store fail to update on my iPad 2.

  • HT4623 Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update?

    Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.

    OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
    Go figure? Logical, No!
