I have the same problem with certain apps from the market (Air Attack HD and Tune Wiki to name a few). I get the message that it "can't install to SD card and I think it also says something about USB. I have gone into BAMF Toolkit and "Application Install Location" and tried all three options and still does not want to work. I read in one post that there is a Market App fix, but I've tried searching for it with no luck. Any help on this would be appreciated
I get the same error with angry birds

Try removing your SD card before download.

Pulling the SD card prior to download did not work for me. I am only getting the error on certain apps. Tune Wiki for example will not install from Market. I then went to their web page and tried to install the app directly (as an attachment from my email) and it won't install from there either. That makes me think that there is a remnant of the program somewhere on my phone or some other error that is preventing this and has nothing to do with the Market App. Does anyone have suggestions. I've installed Root Explorer on my phone, but not exactly sure where I should be looking and what I should be deleting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm running BAMF 1.6.3.
Read a post about clearing market cache. Still no love. Gonna keep trying. Let's keep this post alive until we figure this out.
Yeah, I tried deleting the Market cache and cleared data and that didn't help. I don't think it is a Market issue though (read my post a couple up), since I can download most apps from the Market. The only ones I have problem with are ones that were previously on my phone, and this is not all of the previous apps, just some of them. Also attempting to install a app (one that I had trouble with from Market) from an email attachment also will not install. Are others that are having this problem having the same symptoms: can download some apps, can't install problem apps from email either?
So I need to back track as now my Market App is not installing anything. I've tried what others have suggested go into Manage Programs and delete cache, clear data and force stop Market app, and that has just made matters worse.

When I try to download apps it says it was unsuccessful. Regardless of whether it is wi-fi or 3g. First time I've had this problem. Any suggestions?

Try clearing your cache and deleting the .android_secure folder on your sdcard. Might also use a file manager like EStrong's to go into your download folder and delete any download-file.apk files and then reboot, that usually works for me.
Thanks for the info. I tried it but it's still not working. Any other ideas?

Is it possible you deleted the Google Talk app, without downloads never complete.
No, its still there. I already pursued that avenue. I'm totally stumped this one.

It's the Market's cache. A lot of Android users had this problem. Clear the Market's cache, reboot and you're all fine.

I'm not sure if the OP is a troll, or just stupid... How hard is it to give ACCURATE information on what you are trying to do.
Trolled. Perhaps.
Troll or not , I have had this issue when trying to update apps. I haven't really figured out what's causing apps not to load. I get "app not installed, no usb or SD card found".
Ill be vague just like the op. Here's what you do clear cache and defaults on the market.

Yeah, I've had the same problem, but usually just trying to update the app again works (at least, for me).

I get it when the download interrupts and the file is corrupted. So it can't install. I usually just redownload and its fine.
Try unmounting ur SD card, then installing. I had a problem awhile back with specific apps and that fixed it.

I am having the same problem and it is driving me insane. I have cleared cache in the market. I have rebooted, reflashed, reset to factory, Took out the SD card, put it back in, unmounted it, booted without it.
It doesn't matter what rom I flashed as I have tried several. I just restored my phone with CWM to a backup I made right after I first rooted and the market still doesn't work.
Are you rooted?? Its most likely a bad previous install that needs to be removed first which can be quite troubling because some show that they aren't installed when in actuality they are just not properly. IF YOU ARE ROOTED try using Titanium Backup Root to remove the bad install.

yeah, I am rooted. have been for a while. I have flashed and used several roms/ kernals etc. The thing is, even if I reset the phone to factory it still does it. I went into Titanium, what or how do I find a bad install?? Is there something to look for?

Possibly the ROM's included the app but have a bad install inside the ROM. I seen this issue with a couple apps specifically FLASH PLAYER. Which app are you having issues with?? When in Titanium Backup go to the Backup/Restore section and it should show all of your installed applications..scroll to see if the application you are trying to install is on the list...if so uninstall it. If this doesn't work its possible there is a previous apk file on your phone of this app which is corrupting the download which can be removed with an app like "ROOT EXPLORER" unfortunately it costs money. To do that you would venture into the system/app folder and delete the apk file if in fact there is one in there. To check to see if there is one most file explorers will allow you to go into these folders but you cannot access anything.

I have Root Explorer. Thanks. seems this is a common problem after searching google. No know solution as everyone has got theirs to work doing something different. I have not made any backups with Titanium as the roms I have used auto re-installed everything. I am wondering if it has something to do with that. Any time I flash a rom now, it says "starting download" for all my apps in the market. They never start though.
it's working now. not sure what I did though. I wiped everything and flashed BAMF remix (what I was using originally) and when I went through the setup I did everything like I did before. Only thing I changed when swapping roms was I would not set up my HTC account in the setup.
I'm not rooted (yet!) and I've been having the same problem with the market for the last two days. Probably half the apps I bought/downloaded hung on authorizing. When finally authorized it took quite a while to download and show under my apps. One took almost an hour to show up. Email notifications were also delayed. Tried clearing the cache but that didn't help...

Hey guys. I've scoured the web and haven't found anything on this so thought id ask the experts.
When I install a new app from Market, the notification bar shows the "successfully installed Droid DJ Lite" popup for the new app, but also displays "Updating Droid DJ Lite".
Clicking on the "Updating" entry brings up the market page for a totally different app. In this case it pulled up Google Reader.
This happens with every app I install, and clicking "updating..." brings up a random app every time.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen this or knows what's causing it.
I'm running kh2 with CRT on/off with drhonks kh4 kernal, and ext4 is enabled.
I recovered my apps via Titanium Backup after flashing, and have run fox permissions via rom manager.
Thanks in advance.

or you can just install the market again ill try that first

you might want to try the factory reset, wipe cache, and dalvik cache after you flash a rom and before you use tb to restore all your apps.

I should clarify that I was only using Rom Manager to fix permissions, and wasn't actually managing any roms with it.
I flashed back to ICBINB and ran back through the whole process of installing KH2 again this morning, and then wiped cache's and data, and it looks to have fixed this issue.
Linda is still whining about space on my SD card, but I've figured that one out before.
Hi all, bare with me, i hope this is in the correct place as have searched and cant find a thing. Just come from an iphone to samsung note so be gentle..

Some apps need to be installed via Root Explorer by placing it to some folder.
So why after so many attempts did it work? ??
Also why do some apps insist on only working from the phone memory and not external sd card, is my 64gb card going to be useless?

Hmmmm, that´s strange...perhaps the update may fix it.
Update?
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)
You should root it, flash a custom rom, remove the unused applications, this will make it a much faster.I'd recommend you flash the Gadgetcheck's RevoHD for Note, its perfect.
Now, when you try to install an application from any other place but market, its normal to not be able to. If you are not rooted you shouldnt be able to as well.
When I try to install an application that I have downloaded from somewhere else I think it requires superuser permissions and I have to go to Settings/Applications/Unknown sources and check it.Doing this might solve your problems.
But cant tell for sure, I'm an owner of S II not note.
Good luck.
I cant root it though

That not right, its a installed file, so you have to place it in its original folder. then restart & done
install a custom rom simples also why do you have to install that way there is a thing called the market i have a seeking suspicion that the apps you want to install a pirated we all do it
Hi there... just some ideas and few questions
First off all... is that a new samsung from a store or you bought it from someone else ?
What to try:
- Shutdown the phone
- remove the SD card
- after that boot normaly into the OS
- then go to settings - applications and find the market / play store app
- Click on it, FORCE CLOSE if you can and clear the CACHE
- After that try to install any app.
Tell me whats happening after that all.

Airplayit isnt on the store.
Ive tried all of that, just wont install.
Its a brand new phone and i cant install a cystom rom, it wont root ive tried.

To manually install an app, you'll need root access. Try asking in the q&a forum for your specific device for help with that.
After you've gotten root access (however you do it), copy the .apk to /system/app (you can use a adb, a terminal emulator, or a third party file manager to do this)
Then, change the permissions on the file to so that owner, group, and users all have read and write (but not execute) permissions (that's 644 if you're using chmod)
Here's a link that explains how to manually install an app contained in taskmanager.apk
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/03/task-manager-for-cm-rom-on-gt-s5570.html
If you read the explanations (after the he steps you through the process) it's easy to apply this same process to any other .apk no matter where it's stored.
I've had one of these problems before with the dictionary.com app. I found the file in data/data and removed it. It then installed successfully.
The story this time is that my Reddit app disappeared one day...recently. it wasn't in my apparently drawer anymore. I decided to install it again from the market and that install error popped up. I went into data/data and I could not find anything to do with Reddit in order to delete it.
Any suggestions? I am on liquid smooth.

Try maybe fixing SD card permissions in CWM? That usually does the trick when stuff like that happens to me, have had that issue with Facebook app and one of my games.
Thanks for that. Tried it but no help. I have TWRP.
Also is it odd that some applications randomly force close. Without an error though.
