Hi there,
First I'd just like to say that I've tried every solution and guide I could find in the last hour or so. I'm running a Telstra HTC One XL with the latest ViperXL ROM, and the Bulletproof kernel.
My issue is this: I recently completely wiped the ROM and all data/settings etc. Before doing so, I backed up just a few apps that I wanted with Titanium Backup. After I was setup again, I restored the apps, but I can't get them to be detected in the Play Store. I've tried Market Fixer, Titanium's Market Doctor, clearing data+cache for the store and google services framework and rebooting, installing the apparent newest leaked version of the Play Store from here on the forums. Frankly I think I've only made the issue worse - the only app Titanium detects as being installed now is the Play Store. The My Apps section in the play store only shows apps that I've installed since reinstalling the rom.
I should mention that I made a new google account recently - some or all of the apps I'm not seeing may have been installed/last updated under the old account. I haven't touched that old account since the new installation. It occurs to me that I could probably just uninstall and reinstall most of my apps, but that would defeat the purpose of backing up.. I'd lose the associated data/settings/files.
Appreciate any help.
Tl;dr: Are there any other ways than Titanium's Market Doctor to link apps restored from a backup, with the market, when they haven't necessarily been associated with the current Google account previously?
*Btw, the old account no longer exists.

I used the RUU from HTC to upgrade my rooted Inspire, and it went beautifully. Everything seemed to restore and my phone feels faster.
However... I have the old market back. That isn't as big a problem as it no longer sees all my apps from the market. I searched and searched but couldn't find the answer. Even more annoying is I swear I'd seen this problem and a solution posted somewhere recently.
Anyone?
Thanks!
I have two ideas:
1. Clear Data for the Market, I've had problems with it and this helped
2. Make sure you have Unknown Sources enabled in >Settings>applications and try to install the new market manually.
I had already cleared data/FC'd and restarted several times.
Installed latest Market, and still no love. It only shows Youtube and Maps. I downloaded something new just for grins.
When I log into my market account, it shows me as registered today but not used yet. I suspect it has something to do with this...
Is it new apps that were recently installed since the upgrade that are not seen or previous apps that were installed with previous ROM? If the apps are installed, possibly you can use Titanium backup to restore market links. Most likely other apps that will do the same.
Market doesn't see ANY apps at all! And I can't use Titanium since I'm no longer rooted.
As a side note, my kid called last night to tell me he had upgraded, and had the exact same problem. After installing the upgrade, he had old market and none of his apps showed up.
That is totally strange if you install a new app and then market fails to recognize it right off the bat. I can't recall anyone else having this issue.
Sorry, I misinterpreted your previous post.
Everything I've ever gotten from the market shows in my market account on my computer, but not in 'my apps' tab in the market on my phone. However, the apps I've now downloaded again now show in 'my apps' but still have the original download dates showing in my market account.
Very odd behavior...
You now have me quite confused too. They don't show up then they do show up? What are you missing then? The apps that you previously downloaded with the froyo ROM?

Exactly. Everything I'd previously downloaded is missing in 'my apps' although the phone and all the apps show up when I log into my market account on my PC.
Doesn't really matter much now. The last time I installed a ROM it took nearly an hour for the market to reinstall all my apps. I've manually reinstalled the 10 or so apps I actually use, and not bother with Paper Toss and Tom the Talking Cat and the other 30 or so space wasters.
Just find it odd that my kid and I, in two different cities and on two different ROMs, had the exact same experience with the market. Go figure.
This i what i had to do
This very same thing happend to me as well. If you go on your home computer or use your browser on your phone and go to the actual Market web siteand sign in you can resend all of your apps to your phone and reinstall them. Then they will show up in market on your phone again. The Market web site is marketandroid.com/apps sign in with your google acct info then click the My Library tab and chose the apps you want to reinstall. Hope this helps. let me know if it works!!!
Also when you first started your phone with the original froyo it asked whether you wanted to back your apps up in the setup. Maybe you did not have this checked. So when you ran the RUU it totally wiped your phone clean as it should. If you did have backup selected, when you installed the new ROM it should have started to install most of the apps. I have noticed it never installs all apps from the market. But it does show for me at least all the paid apps. The apps it did show for you were technically not your apps. They were system apps that were linked to the market automatically.
Also as you did start fresh make sure you have google backup in affect so it keeps track of your apps for the next time you install fresh if you ever do.
I believe the reason the apps show up online with the pc and not your phone because google thinks you uninstalled all those apps.
I don't know what happened, but today I went to look to see if I had any updates in the market under "my apps" to find that it is completely blank. Not a single app installed is listed. I determined that this is not account related (I checked to make sure I was under the right google account in the market). Under my other account, it shows 3 apps under "my apps". I am using an AOSP Gingerbread rom based off of CM7.
I have tried:
1. Uninstalling and reinstalling the market.
2. Clearing the cache of the market app.
3. Clearing the data of the market app.
4. Linking the apps to the market with both TitaniumBackup and with MyBackup Pro.
5. Rebooting the phone
Nothing is working. I have things set up on the phone exactly how I like them. I really don't want to do a complete reinstall of everything. Does anybody have any recommendations?
I had the same problem until I downgraded my market to an older version, now all is good
Thank you for the reply. A downgrade resulted in the same outcome. I just don't get it.
Did you clear the data and cache from the market after the downgrade? I just know what worked for me. It might not work for you
I appreciate your trying to help. I did, no difference, must be TitaniumBackup related. Same problem upon reinstall of the Rom and TiBU restore of apps and data.
A lot of thread views. Are others having this problem?
Switched to cm7 and all back to normal. I have no clue what caused the problem.
So many threads already about this problem.
I posted some more information here:

I've always found the Play Store to be incredibly inconsistent when it comes to restoring apps.
When I recently Odin'd back to stock and signed into my Google account, the Play Store instantly began downloading all of the apps that I had installed on the last ROM. Apps that had been uninstalled were not re-downloaded; it only restored the apps that were on the phone most recently.
But when I just installed Synergy and signed into Google, it didn't bother restoring anything. I know that I can go to All Apps > All, but this is just a huge list of every app that I've ever downloaded on an Android device. It's far more tedious.
Anyone know the reason for this inconsistency?
(And no, I'm not a fan of apps like Titanium Backup.)
Some roms give you a check box to check if you want to restore apps and some dont. It should ask if you want to backup your apps and if you want to restore apps during the install.

Google's play store backup only backs up your last ROM that you signed into with your Google Account.
So, if you didn't restore all of your apps when you flashed another ROM, Google Play restored "0" apps for that ROM and made a backup with "0" apps. That's why you aren't getting any restored.
I recommend Titanium Backup.
I've been reading threads on this problem, have done everything I could find to try (including factory reset, reinstall 4.1.2 stock, install cm 10.2.1 and upgraded to 4.3 stock).
I cannot get google play to work. It fails immediately with No Connection (Retry). Occasionally, I get "Unfortunately, Google Play has stopped".
I've checked date/time, repartitioned with the PIT file, tried various ROMs, enabled/disabled download manager, google play, GSF, deleted my google account, tried creating a completely new account, wiped all my application data, installed/uninstalled various gapps versions, tried Market Enabler, proxying, deleting /etc/hosts, mounting /system as r/w. I've watched all the "100% guaranteed fix!" videos and searched for threads here, reddit, and other places.
I'm at the point now where reading a new or existing thread can take hours and produce no new insight, so I'm posting a completely new one.
Does anyone have any insight on this? I can get almost everything I need via apk, or amazon and samsung app stores. What have I not tried? What could be persisting over several different ROM installs, repartitioning, re-stocking and upgrading to 4.3. I swrz I've had it stripped down to the metal, almost, and it still won't work. It makes me wonder if somehow my IMEI or MAC address is blacklisted or something. Oh, yeah, I've got a new GSF id each time I reprovisioned, so it's not a blocked GSF id. I'd like to get my old gsf ID back, but to do that I need Titanium pro -- which I need google play to re-download my paid copy
Um... google maps works, gmail works, google play magazines and samsung hub work (until I try to download something, and it goes to google play). I've turned off two-step verification on google+ settings too.

I am assuming when you factory reset you didn't delete the actual app "data" which would have fixed the problem, or you have a sync or backup replacing the problematic data. Luckily all you have to do which should fix it is to go into application manager and clear all data related to the Google Play/Google Play services apps. (Cache, updates, etc) You may have to do the same to the Youtube app because for the STRANGEST REASON beyond my comprehension that was causing some sign in problems for the Play Store...
Once that's taken care of, try to sign in and download an app.
Hope this works for you!
Please help. Every 15 minutes my Google Play services needs to be reset I have to go into applications and clear the all the memory associated with the app then I have to go into one of the Google Apps and redo my account because the account gets deleted when it resets and then it's okay for 15 minutes. I went ahead and download it just the apps from the Huawei app and it does it with that. I went ahead and downloaded apps from the Google Play Store and it does it with that also. I went ahead and did a fresh installation of b109 and thought that would fix it and then reinstall all the Google Apps that I had and it still did the same thing so I am lost with the solution to the problem that I have hopefully someone can solve this or someone had the same problem that I have and have a solution. I have attached the image of what it looks like.

What were you running before this happened. B106? B109? This usually happens when you try and flash the Play Services yourself as Huawei already includes them. If you didn't do anything different to cause this, go into Apps and uninstall the google play services update and see if it works after that.

I have tried that a couple of times. the only thing I can do is restore my twrp backup and that is stable and then google starts downloading those updates again and boom it brings that error up. I don't know which one because they come down in a diffent order everytime. If I just have gmail loaded it is fine but that is not going to work. I might have to try to load up a modded playstore that doesn't allow any updates at all and just be satified. What Google apps are you running (Full list, so I'll know whick one ones are okay to put on my phone). That would be a good thread. And do you have any problems like that?

I noticed that if you don't use the official Google Apps from Huawei's app store it causes problems.
I'm using these. They are from the official Huawei App store.

I went ahead and uninstalled all google apps, every one. Copied the ones included with the rom back to there location and set permissions. Then I went ahead and went to the huawei app store and downloaded the rest they had. And what was missing I got from the playstore and The apps updated from the playstore. So far so good.Emails are coming in instantly again. I made a twrp image of this setup because I think this one is perfect just incase I might want to experiment with some new google apps later. Thanks for the help.

You'll be fine on any ROM with the Play Store and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter I sent you. Those are the only things you need to install when you flash a new ROM or update. All of the other Google Apps are already included in Huawei's stock ROMS. Google just released a new version of the play store and mine auto updated to the new one. Everything is still working though like it should. When Huawei releases the new version in their App Store I'll grab it and add it to my roms.
