Unless the OP still wants to buy it.

Did you try it from the market.android website?

As i wrote in this thread I solved that issue purchasing the app with a phone running an old (2.2.6) version of the Market app. If you don't have an old phone with an old market, i think you can try downgrading your market app to a 2.x version (and blocking the market autoupdate before it starts, but i dont know how you could do it) and see if it allows you to purchase.

It's no subtitute for a fixed market but if you're in a fix, you could also go to the market website and purchase apps that way. They're even pushed to your phone automatically.

That's what I did to buy ADW Ex that kept giving me an error directly on the phone. It wasn't the same error, but hopping on my PC worked without a problem and the update was pushed to my phone as soon as I switched the screen on.

on the website via PC is the same...just tried...i will try to downgrade market app

I obviously tried from the web market too, but it showed the app as purchased and then returned the same error "you haven't purchased the app". For me only downgrading the marked fixed the problem
However it's evident there's a problem with paid apps installed from outside the market and the market account. It sees them as purchased when they're not. Or maybe the cause was a Titanium Backup market doctor?
Anyway downgrading the market is a good workaround for the moment...

"Simple" solution
I found a simple solution in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23356474&postcount=18 but it had German instructions which I followed as best as I could and was finally able to purchase Tunein Radio Pro from the Google market.
I used Firefox and new Google Play market.
Basically you go to the Google market website on your computer and RIGHT click on the "Purchased" button - that.s the same button that you would normally Buy/Install an app.
When the menu shows up I chose "Inspect Element" which added a menu bar at the bottom after pressing HTML button on the right my browser was split in two with the bottom now having the source code of the "Purchase button"
Clicking "Purchased" in the upper window highlights the code that is executed. In my case I had to scroll a few lines up and found the beginning of the line with "<a class="buy-link buy-button goog-inline-block", and in that line I found data-ispurchased="true".
Double clicking on just "true" opened a pop up window where I could change the value to false.
Clicked on an X on the right in the menu that's between my two window panes closing the bottom Inspect pane.
Now LEFT (normal) clicking on the "Purchased" button allowed me to buy the app.

paid apps gone from market. help!

All of the paid apps In my android market are no longer showing :[ I have done every type o resets besides a full factory reset. They were showing earlier today, my device is unrooted and I live in the US. Any suggestions?
Are any of your paid apps on THIS list? If they're not they might not be showing up because they might not be compatible with tablets. If some are on that list then contact google from the 'help' section at the bottom of the market page from a desktop browser.

I have exactly the same problem the only difference is that mine is not rooted, everything is stock with all OTA's applied. I can see paid apps but cannot install them.
same for me this morning, lost all paid apps from the market. I'm running stock 2nd update in the uk.... ant even see them....
I'm getting something very similar.
Whenever I try to access the market page of a paid app I get a pop-up message saying "Sorry, details page for the requested item could not be found" and if I press OK I get dumped back to the previous page.
However if I press the back button the page I want displays OK and I can install the app.
A quick google for the error message I'm seeing brings up a few reports from Xoom users seeing the same thing so I think Google may have b0rked the honeycomb market and hopfully will be unb0rking it soon.
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/mot...oad-random-apps-receive-sorry-error-help.html
It's something on googles end as it's not our devices. It looks to me as if they are doing something with the servers that hold the market data. Let's hope they are upgrading something, and adding new features.
There's a good thread on the problem over in the XDA Xoom section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057250 which is suggesting that it's a problem with a new version of Google Market (1.0.17) and wifi only devices.
Probably Google has forgotten to add tablet without SIMs to the list of devices allowed to access paid apps on the market (they had a habit of doing something similar for new phones a while ago).
If someone has a rooted device and market enabler installed they could try using that to trick Market into thinking you're a valid device but I have no idea how successful it would be.

Wow, I can't believe I tried that... Thanks for that tip!
Damn, still can't buy not apps tho =[
In the meantime, you can use the website market.android.com
There's been a reply from a google employee to the support thread on this problem saying they've made some corrections and I can now see paid apps properly (though I haven't tried buying any new ones yet)

[Q] Google search button won't search for apps in "New Market". Anyone else?

[Q] Google search button won't search for apps in "New Market". Anyone else?
Recently installed new market on my sensation. Notice that when I press the search button, and switch to market search, it will let me type, but once I press enter nothing happens. Recently gave my N1 to little brother so I couldn't test it on another phone to verify if it was the app or my phone. Has anyone else experienced this, and might you have any suggestions?
Just tried it and the same thing happens to me. Weird.
Maybe it depends on keyboard? I'm using swype beta and the enter button functioned. As well using ultra keyboard. I've frozen the original keyboard so I can't check that one.
Odd. I just tried swype, swift key x, and standard touch input, none of which work on my phone. Not to be redundant, but you are using the newer market that sells books and movies right.
I have Asian unbranded sensation. i also noticed that a lot of apps are missing.
what i also mean is that my old apps does not show-up on the new market, therefore cannot be updated.
I tried installing Appbrain, then check for updates. it then shows me that i have updates for my old apps. if you select update, it redirects you to the new market. new market magically shows the app that needs to be updated but there is no "update" button. the "update" button was replaced by "open" button. you can just open the app but cannot update it.
im not sure if the 1.35 OTA or just the new market is causing this.
i will uninstall this new market and check. if the apps shows-up again, its the new market that's having problems if not, OTA is the culprit.
Yeah I noticed that too. It only shows about 3 of my apps, but if I do a search on an app I have, it shows as installed already. I'm thinking It's the market itself.
Yeah I'm using the new market. With that ugly grey, I like the style, just wish it was white instead.

[Q] Apps not downloading

I don't use my A700 all that much but I have noticed recently that none of my downloaded apps from the play store are automatically updating as they used to do. I have done a search of the internet and found others that have had a similar problem but none of the fixes have worked for me.
I am using Adroid 4.1.1, kernel version 3.1.10+ and build number Acer_AV051_A700_1.052.00_PA_CUS1. I have checked for updates but the tablet says none are available.

First off, I moved your post to Q & A forum.
As with your issue, going to Settings and checking for updates, is only for the Operating System, Not for apps.
Several changes to the Play Store in updating things. You can open your Play Store (old Market) and select your Installed Apps icon. This will tell you what apps need updated, and you can d it from there (best to have a good Wifi connection as I think you have many updates).
As with Auto-Updating, I believe each app you have installed has this available as an option. Normally, I select it when I install an app from the Play Store. So check your Play store options.

Thanks MD
I guess that is where the problem lies. I go to Play Store but I cannot find a Installed Apps icon.
I went to settings and see "Auto-update apps" under the General category does not have a check mark next to it. I tapped it and made sure that "Auto-update apps at any time. Data charges may apply" is checked. Still no updates.
Thanks for your help
I´m not quite sure but I think I have a similar problem: Each time I want to install/update an app I have to kill all Google tasks in settings. I am on stock 4.1.1 rooted.

With Play Store, select the "down arrow" in the upper right corner. This takes you to "installed apps" and "All apps you have downloaded. Go to Installed Apps, and you can manually update them. Also, if you select an app, you can select auto updating. :good:

Don't have an answer for that one. However, you can kill the auto sync in quick settings rather than going directly into settings.

Thanks MD, that helped things along. I completely missed the "INSTALLED" at the top of the screen which does not surprise me in my advanced age.
Autoupdate is enabled for all of my apps but I still don't see the downloading being displayed in the lower right corner as I used to see in the past and a notification that an update for an app had completed. Maybe I am being impatient.
Thanks again for your help.

[Q] Google Now can update about tv shows?

Hi,
I have few questions about Google Now,
1. It's can update me about tv shows?
2. It's update me about package from amazon (USPS), if I got early (before I got my Nexus 5) email with Tracking number from Fedex, I can add it ?
Another question not about Google Now,
I use the phone with Hebrew language,
and all the is from right to left, how I can change it to Left to right ?
I mean, the watch/signal/wifi icon is in top right, I want it in top left, possible ?
Regards.

Go to Google Now > Customize (Scroll down and tap the magic wand) > Everything Else and you'll see options for packages and TV.
Regarding package updates, it seems that Amazon no longer includes the carrier and tracking number in its shipping notification emails.

Side loaded Apps showing in Main Menu

I just installed "TinyCam Monitor Pro" and it appeared in the Main Menu. Wonder if their are other apps not listed that will do the same. Maybe Google is planing to release some more support apps soon?

Kodi (aka XBMC) showed up on my Main Menu after installing, but subsequent installs of Amazon and Amazon Instant Video do not show up on Main Menu (side note: Amazon Instant Video loaded, but nexus couldn't navigate to a video for me to test playing)
Any app can make itself visible from the main screen by declaring a CATEGORY_LEANBACK_LAUNCHER intent. It is one of the requirements for being allowed into the Android TV store, but any developer can put that in their app.
