It seems like a lot of people(including myself) have been having Market Issues lately on both the Froyo & HoneyComb roms. (not sure if rooted stock Nook users were seeing this to this week)
I think that Google has been making changes to the backend of the market.
Tuesday night I noticed that X-Plane was available to me in market where the previous few days searched for it would come up empty.
Yesterday i manually installed Evernote & Sugarsync because I could not find them in the marke either and I also noticed I had an older version of Xscope.
Last night, I did another round of Force Stop Google.Framework/Clear Data....Force Stop Market/Clear cache and then all of sudden all these apps reappeared in the market!
So if you have been having similar issues this week I suggest another round of the Force Stop Google.Framework/Clear Data....Force Stop Market/Clear cache. I did do mine with a round of some nice Bourbon Oak Aged Stout Beer called Heresy but not sure if this helped MArket at all But it did help me!
I am using Market Enabler with the Verizon setting(and have been using all week)
One thing i notice different in Portrait Market is on Nookie Froyo its says Apps - Game - My Apps and on my DroidX it says Apps - Games - Verizon on top.
Hopefully today I can mess with copy some of the setting from my DroidX build.prop to the Nook to see if this changes market behavior at all.
Does anyone now what settings Market Enabler is making and where?
I have been having trouble with the market as well, but it seems related to a "google talk authentication failed" error. STILL cant download apps though, its frustrating.
I just installed the HC and when I tried to DL from the marketplace, I looked over at my phone, an HTC hero, the DL was coming in there???? Tried to use another gmail account, "no device associated to this account" This makes HC useless. Anyone got a clear fix?
well for me i cant even download off the market with my NC it says its downloading but does nothing.
This has zero to do with the Nook Color, it's happening on all devices.
I have to say, some of it IS nook related.
The problem I'm seeing is that some apps do not see the Nook as a compatible device.
Take evernote for example.
I can't find it in the market, so I go to the evernote website, which points me back to the market, web version. When I am forced to choose a device, it then tells me that the device is not compatible.
How are people getting around this?

Well for me i had to install Applanet and download it, it works fine on the book. And also that's the only way i can download apps because the market doesn't work for me.

I'd have to respectfully disagree that its a completely different issue, at least not for everyone.
OP's issue is not a problem of downloading/installing apps, its finding apps.
I just tried all the apps the OP listed, and I found X-Plane, but can't find Evernote, Sugarsync, (nor Facebook).
I think that a lot of people will not find the apps they want, and think its a Market issue with their hacked device, but in reality its a problem with device compatibility checks from Google.
Thanks for the Applanet idea, I'm going to try that.
I have had lots of apps were missing for me (most notably Facebook for android) in the market occasionally. I have found that this seems to happen from time to time. In trying to buy directly off the android market site on my computer, it tells me my Nook is incompatible with the apps I am looking for (though I know it is not). The fix though, is simple ( all credit to ViralCipher)

Sometimes you have to do it more than once, but rarely.

how I did it. I hate it, because I love to support the developers so cheating them like this sucks. I usually go to their website later and donate

Thanks! This worked!
I did this step when I had the application download errors, and didnt think doing it again would restore access to certain apps, but hey, whatever works!

Maybe this has nothing to do with the NC, not sure yet.
But I've noticed that some apps don't seem to show up in the Market on my Nook Color, but do on my Android phone and AppBrain.
For example EA Mobile has some 99 cent games on sale right now. I got Need for Speed for my phone. And it shows up in AppBrain on my NC, but in the Market it's not there.
I noticed some others missing too like Super Manager.
Are these apps not showing up because this Market apk came from the Galaxy Tab and they aren't supported on tablets (noticed one of the EA games did mention it wasn't supported on the Galaxy Tab)? Or is something else going on?

Market will not show apps that are deemed incompatible with your device. Since NC doesn't come with market, it will mainly show you generic apps. Other alternate market apps may show you apps that work or that don't and apps that require OS 2.2, since the NC is an unsupported device.

I've had this same problem, specifically with Pocket Legends. I sideloaded an old .apk of it and booted it up. It works, but then tells me to upgrade and when I let it go to the market, the screen just flashes and goes back to the pocket legends app.
Ugh. Is this something that could be fixed in the future? I'm starting to get surprised at how many apps I can't download from the Market now. Can't even install Firefox.
I guess I can try side loading some of these thing from my Android phone.

Can't install Firefox? Shows in the market here for me.
Firefox Beta 3 showed up for me and installed fine.
Inconsistance
I've had to re-root my new nook color several times. The first time I did it the Market had a limited number of apps. Viewing the "Top Free" or "Top Paid" only had about 10 apps visible as opposed to a long ongoing list of apps.
After a factor reset and re-root the market was showed any and every app.
After a third factory reset and reroot the market was back to the original way with far fewer apps. (currently Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire are NOT visible but Opera is)
So I can confirm "something" is problematic. I came to this forum hoping for an answer myself.
Running 1.0.1 and used auto-nooter each time.
This may not fix your problem, earlyhike - but it may help someone:
When viewing the market holding it as a portrait, only 10 apps show but if you rotate to landscape then you can scroll through the long list.
Hope this helps someone
I would very much appreciate if someone could upload the Firefox Beta 3 since I can't get it from Market. Thanks in advance.

I had to install it on my Android phone, then just copied the APK file over to my Nook and installed it that way. I put a copy here of Firefox 4 beta 3.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15926256/org.mozilla.firefox-1.apk
Now I'm curious what is going on.
Those of you that found Firefox, were you using the new Market or the old market?
I'm using the New Market and not seeing Firefox (and some other things). I wonder if this new Market apk is the issue.
I already own an android phone and bought a bunch of applications. I just rooted and installed the market on my nook using the same email address that is on my phone. For some reason the market on my nook wont let me download my paid apps without buying them again. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I tried redoing it and I have the same problem. Does this happen to anyone else? Does everyone else have access to their paid apps without having to pay for them again?
I didn't have to rebuy my apps. But market has been updated since I installed them. Maybe a newer version of market changed something.
It really doesn't make any sense. Its definitely the same account. It has my credit card information filled out already. I even tried buying an app i bought previously, just to see if that would jog it. It didn't work. It charged me and i had to refund it. I really don't know what else to try.
Nope, all of mine show up as "Purchased". Every time this question comes up it's always usage of the same account, but you say that's already been checked..
Good luck.
Thanks. It has to be the same acount or else all of my redit card information wouldn't bebon there. All of my android market reciepts go to this accout also.
Try visiting this page https://market.android.com/account and see a list of your purchased apps.
Standalone web site should be more reliable, than an app, hacked in a stock firmware, which kinda doesn't support google apps.

Now I'm more worried. The site you linked to doesn't have any record of my purchases either. My google checkout account under the same name, however, does have records of all of my purchases. Have any idea what i should do now?
did you paid the app with credit card or by carrier billing? Maybe it change something?

I always pay with credit card.
Does google have some form of actual support other than the forum?
I have nookie froyo on her now. Same exact problem. This is bull**** and definitely on googles end. When are they going to get a customer support line? I've never seen another company that charges actually money like google does in the market without having a customer support line. I'm sure whatever is causing this will cause problems if I ever get another android phone in the future.
Having the same trouble here
What kind of android phone do you have? Is it using a custom rom? I'm thinking that the problem isn't with the nook at all. It's with our other devices not registering with the market properly.
It's as I suspected. I flashed my phone back to stock and I can't redownload any applications either. My whole market account got wiped somehow.
same issue here, totally different tablet BTW (samsung galaxy tab). Same thing - I wiped and flashed a ROM (ironically, same ROM!) and afterwards all my paid apps are being asked to repurchase when I hit install. Similarly in the web market it says I don't own any apps....
I am able ot restore my apps via titanium and hilariously all licence checks for programs that implement them e.g. titanium, worms etc. continue to work thank god but Goog better fix this sh-t real quick. I have >50 paid apps so this is really really bugging me out (plus now I'm afraid to do any more flashing/tweaking)
Do you have the backup, OP?
If so, just run it instead of redownload from Play
Sure you used the same google account?

I know many have been eagerly awaiting the 10.2 flash release. when i searched market on my gtab i could not find it today like i could on my captivate which conviently updated to 2.2 today (joy!!). Long over due ATT...
anyways since the stars lined up just right i thought i would leave the .apk up here for all. i have run this and it is flawless on cnn....no more hiccups or freezing like previous versions!
Thank you so much for this. I couldn't find it either running calkulins rom
try going to market.android.com. I found it there and tagged for download to my "G" ( running Vegan 5.1 ) loaded and runs fine.
Thanks for the apk. I used to be able to see flash in the market, in fact that is where I installed 10.1 from. I'm on the new vegan and I could see the xoom games as well but I couldn't see some other stuff I wanted like evernote and dolphin. Online market just blocks me with compatibility errors. After doing some messing I got it so I can see those things but no longer can I see flash or the xoom/tiaga games. I can't even upgrade flash through market even though I installed it from there. Google's dictatorship over the market is in its own way is as messed up as Apple's market censorship and it is downright frustrating and disappointing. So again, thanks. I've tried to get my market back to displaying what it originally displayed but not luck. Either way I'm still only able to enjoy half the android experience.

Thanks OP.
Yes, I agree with you. Market originally let me dl Cordy, but now since it has been updated for more gameplay its not in native market, and its not compatable with online market.
Running VEGAn 5.11 + supplement. Did the full market fix multiple times (and VEGAn has the "correct" fingerprint in build.prop). The market seems to have just about everything.... but....
Can't find Astro Bluetooth module. A very few other things don't show up like Messageease (was debating not reinstalling it anyway -- had tried it on a different tablet). Vlingo was another one I noticed missing.
But I do see lots and lots of apps.
BTW, if you redo the market fix, your "My apps" looks like it just has the paid apps in it until you install something else -- then all your links come back (whew). Seems like I read that somewhere before but....
I just checked, its showing up in my market. I'm running TwoTapsX, so the info may not help you at all, but its there for me.
Thanks Karl, I guess I'm going to have to go get the apk off of another device. What do people without proper markets do for finding these apks?

Personally, I use a different device (an A81E with market fix applied) & then side-load to other devices. Interestingly, on my Gtab, running Vegan 5.1b, I was able to download astro bluetooth module via the market, and have since side-loaded it to the A81E. Now running Vegan 5.1.1b, and no longer see this app in the market. Glad I grabbed it when I did.
Hi All,
I don't seem to be able to find Dolphin HD in Google Market. Does anyone else experience this? I'm funning TnTLite 4.3.2 with the market fix.
Thanks.
It shows up in my market. I'm also running TnT 4.32 with market fix. May want to try the fix again and see if that helps.
If you check the web market, you'll see that the application is shown as not compatible with our tablets. It's probably the browser's requirement of fine gps location, something our tablets don't feature.
However, while I haven't tried it, if you have another Android device, you can most likely download it there and then sideload it on your tablet.
Another option (though it doesn't work for this app, since it's not listed on Amazon's market) is to check Amazon's market. In some cases, programs that are listed in Google's market as incompatible show up as perfectly compatible in Amazon's market.
Do a Google search for the apk. Its out there and I know you can find it.
Happy hunthunting

this is what I did, and it works fine on the tablet, though I still prefer opera...
I did the market fix on my GTab, the same way I did it on my Archos 70.
I have Dolphin Browser HD on my Archos, but not the Market for the GTab. Strange.
Perhaps on another cache clear and reboot, it will come back.
In the meantime, I know that if you have a Usenet account and provider, you can go to NZBMatrix.com and search for just about any Android APK you want.... Just saying....
i can fix market on tnt lite but it doesn't work with vegan
I looked and looked last night, did the market fix several times. This morning I just just installed it on my phone, then used Astro to back up the APK, mailed it to myself, then side loaded it onto my GTAB.
