Two Apps Stuck, Can't Open, Can't Uninstall

So after getting back up and running thanks to numerous members of this forum, I re-downloaded all my apps, and everythings good except for two of my most-used apps: Facebook and Pandora. My phone is telling me that both are installed, but they're nowhere to be found. The Market app has "OPEN" and "UNINSTALL" on the bottom of the page, but both are greyed out and I cannot select either choice. There are no folders on my SDCard for either app, and I can't uninstall them as they don't appear anywhere on my phone. Also, I can't install them because the market app is reading them on my phone. I'm in a bit of a pickle, as these are are both important apps to me. Anyone who could help would, as always, be owed a beer if they find themselves in NYC.

your gonna have to uninstall them using atrackdog or some app that uninstalls other applications. if that doesnt work, wipe your ext partition, and re download everything.

ALL my apps are stuck now...
Okay, I did what was suggested and wiped my partition, and now I have none of the apps installed on my phone, but when I go to the Market to re-download EVERYTHING, the Market app says everything is installed, and again, the buttons on the bottom to either OPEN or UNINSTALL are greyed out and i can't click either. So now, instead of only having two apps like this, ALL MY APPS are not on my phone, I can't download them, and can't uninstall them.
Any ideas?

Wipe from recovery. You didn't need to clear your partition, just remove the apk's for those two apps.

Clear your market cache to start, I think that will do the trick. If that doesn't help - wipe your phone and repartition sd again.
Good luck

Clear market cache, then fix permissions...Wipe then reflash if that doesn't fix it. Apps in /app-private also get screwed up when switching ROMs, that's why I pull them to /sdcard then reinstall them so they reside in /app.

Use any option it gives you to uninstall the app, then reinstall it.

Similar issue.
I am having a similar issue.
I installed Toggle Settings (Donut) on my G1 (CM 4.2.5 I'm not using apps2SD) and then decided to uninstall it. Now when I go to the market and my downloads it shows that I have Toggle settings installed. The problem is that I don't and it gives me no options to do anything (open and uninstall are grayed out). Other apps install and uninstall normally with the market updating their status correctly. I don't know what to do to correct this. If you know how to remedy this, please help me.
I apologize if this is an inappropriate place to post this but I serched and this was the closest topic to my problem that I found.

Try finding it in the app-private folder or if its in any of yours apps as a .zip file. If so, back it up and delete it from the phone. see if that resolves the issue. if not try deleting the market cache

Thanks for replying... It's not in any of my other apps and I've tried deleting the market cache (and deleting the market cache and power cycling the phone) and that isn't working. Where is (or should be) the app-private folder? I'm not finding that folder.
I'm starting to feel like my only hope is an update being put out for the app and then hopefully I can download that and go from there.

app-private should be in the same folder as app

Had a similar problem
I wiped my phone and did a frech Cyan 4.2.5 install to help clear a problem with Gmail. I used backup for root users to get all my apps back, but it left a couple out - leaving me in the same situation you guys are in - can't install/uninstall from the market as the buttons are greyed out, but it's not actually on your phone.
i eventually stumbled over a solution of sorts when i reverted back to a themeless 4.2.5 - for me flashing the update again sorted out my market data and allowed me to install the missing apps again. either that, or go into a nandroided backup, extract the apks and manually push them to your current setup - buttons are magically no longer greyed out.

Thanks guys.
Thanks for your guys assistance.
I found another solution that worked. I had one of my coworkers download Astro File browser and then the Toggle settings app. I just backed up his toggle settings with the built in apps manager in Astro and then put his memory card in my phone and restored toggle settings with Astro. Then I went to the market and uninstalled toggle settings through the market and bingo no more ghost of Toggle settings problem. Thanks again for your assistance.

[Q] Any way to clear Market Cache on 2.1?

I tried to manage applications in NookColor Tools but the market doesn't show up as an option. Do I have to have Froyo to clear the cache? I updated to the new market but am still not seeing the apps I should be even after updating the build.prop. I know the next step is to clear the market cache but I don't see how to do so in 2.1. This is an autonooter install. If I need to switch to Froyo I certainly can. Thanks!

I don't use it, but I think Titanium Backup has options for managing applications - including clear cache.

go to nook color tools>applications when you are in there hit settings (using soft keys or like program) then select filter and select all....market will now show up, click clear cache, force stop, reboot, good to go

Nice. It's been so long since I've really used Eclair that I forgot about that filter option. Thanks!

Need help with new market

I downloaded the new market apk then installed after renaming old one. Now when I open it, it asks me to accept terms. After I accept, it tries to open then just disappears. I tried doing the old market and now that does the same too. Cleared cache, same result. Any tips?

Try Clearing the Data, with Titanium Backup? Also which Market did you install 2.2.7? and is this on 2.2 or 2.1?

Tried titanium but it didn't work. The version is 2.2.6. I appreciate your help.

Have you tried using Logcat, and seeing what the error is there?

Lol what's logcat?

Logcat basically logs everything that your phone does. It's helpful when trying to figure out problems.

[q] why can't i install apps ????

I can't install apps from the market. I can't even install AppBrain or my phone force closes.
Here's what you should know:
seeARMS Rom, Damian's Kernel, Android 2.2.
Things I have tried:
clearing cache via recovery
clearing dalvik cache via recovery
clearing data in Market app via settings
clearing cache in Market app via settings
NOTHING WORKS.
Nothing downloads. In the event that I boot into recovery and I wipe everything, I can download something, but it just sits on "installing" forever
$5 donation to anyone who can figure out what's wrong.

Maybe try a different rom/kernel configuration, or just reflash a wipe version of the current ones. Sometimes right after flashing a new rom I have the market hang a bit and it seems like it isn't doing anything then I leave it for a while and miraculously it has worked.

Also try clearing the cache of Google Services Framework from the Settings > Applications > Manage Applications menu.

sorry boys none of these suggestions work.
I think it might have something to do with the ext4/ext2 setup I have
