I cannot install Google Apps for some reason. I tried clean installs, fresh wiped caches and data, and flashed from CWM/Recovery. Did not work.
What do I do now? I have Mac OS X and I have adb and fastboot.

@acmys, I think you might be expecting the Gapps installation to also include all the Google apps. Gapps only gets you the Market app and the automated Google Apps installer that pops up during the initial boot (that is why the Gapps file is only 5 MB - it doesn't have much in it other than the Market and the initial welcome stuff). You still have to manually download gmail, maps, voice, etc. either during that initial boot or you can do it later when you're on wi-fi. So if you've already got the Market app, then you are good to go. If I misunderstood you and you're not even getting the Market app, then disregard everything I just said.
Yup no market
Is there anyplace I can download an APK of market? for inspire?

You're welcome to try this one. It's not the apk but a flashable zip for CWM.

Installing the vending APK worked great for me too (running Uncommon sense). I'd recommend trying to install the APK before attempting a flash via recovery.
Here's a re-post of just the apk, extracted from the zip.

anyone tried the apk?
I have recently rooted and installed Android Revolution on my wife's inspire.
However I just realized that i am unable to download from the market any apps. All I get is 2 secs of the downloading arrow before it disappears and i am prompted to
download again. I have tried clearing data in the market app and rebooting to no avail. Internet works as does browsing the market.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit, tried over wifi, tried an older version of the market app and still no luck.
Re-install the Rom, ensuring you clear the Delvik and wipe everything before install.
I'll give it a try.

Once done. if the issue continues;
1. Are you getting any error messages when you attempt to use market? When you turn the phone off and on? Anytime?
2. When was the last time it worked? Ever? Are you sure market sees your account and you are logged in?
3. Have you tried going to market on a PC and pushing an app to the phone? Does the app push when you do?

No error messages, power cycling the phone has not helped.
2. When was the last time it worked? Ever? Are you sure market sees your account and you are logged in?
since flashing I'm not sure if it has worked. I am logged in, and can see apps under my apps. Anything I have attempted to dl is listed there, but is not listed as installed.

i just flashed honeysense 2.1 today at first all my old apps did reload except for a select few so when they didnt i tried reloading them from marketplace and said try again. Ive spent all day reflashing the rom flashing other roms recovering on prior roms that were working flawlessly. ive ran searches and tried everything that i read. i am very new to the whole rooting and flashing but this is my 4th or 5th flash and everyone before i had absolutely no problems except for deciding which i liked more. any help is appreciated. thanks in advance!
This is pretty much the only rom I haven't tried yet. I read about 10 pages on the dev page but Im just not 100% sure how to flash this rom. I'm currently running miui with blue recovery, so I'm good there. I've already downloaded the latest build according to the dev page, but I have no idea what gapps or whatever is. I read that I can download them in rom manager, I checked it out but there's like 10 versions. Do I flash the Google app then cm7?

With blue CWM recovery you should be able to flash CM7 with a normal flash in CWM. If you boot loop, pull battery and reflash. The gapps is all the google apps you need, Cyanogen can't include google apps in the Rom. If you download gapps through rom manager, pick the latest one. I actually downloaded gapps from the Cm7 wiki. (the link for it is in the OP for Cm7 Rom) Flash the rom first THEN gapps and you should be good.

Ya thats what I meant by normal flash lol. I know when flashing from red you need to format but, I can't remember if I did so when flashing from CM7 to MIUI or if its needed. You can try it without, and if it doesn't work then format, just make a backup before you do. I just remember the format system part is before you flash the zip a second time after a battery pull.

MIUI comes with the market which is really all you need ( you can download the rest from the market) CM7 is what needs gapps, best way to get these is from the rom thread, he's got a link in the OP somewhere.

Did you flash gapps through rom manager or cwm? I had to mess with that for a while and could only get it to work when flashing through cwm (blue). Worth the effort though. This is my favorite rom and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all. A lot of them anyways.

Sometimes roms already come with busybox installed. However, they need to be updated/reinstalled in order for fix permissions to work. Usually that does the job. If not, try reflashing the rom and make sure you follow the dev's instructions thoroughly.
If your rom comes with busybox. Go to your apps, there should be a busybox installer app in there. Click on it and click install
