Hi bs01wcu,

I feel your pain; I browse and download applications from the Android Market continuously and I'd be frustrated if I was not able to access it. This sounds like an authentication issue. Make sure you've cleared the cache and data of both the Market app and the Download manager. Here's how:

1. Visit Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
2. Tab over to "All"
3. Select the Market app, and then tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache;" then, select Download manager and tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache"
You also must be able to successfully sign into Google Talk to download apps from Android Market. Make sure your device is signed into Google Talk by following these steps:
1. Go to your phone’s app launcher, and press the Talk app.
2. If you’re already signed into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out.
3. Launch Talk again to sign in.

I have tried this and about everything else to fix my issue with my apps. It all started after doing a factory reset after receiving new SIM card I cannot access the My apps section of Android Market. If I uninstall my updates to market it tells me I have a connection issue after the update it just defaults to a blank screen which is the default if you dont have anything installed.

It means you need to add a google gmail account in order to go into market. If you already tried and you did a master reset and still no go. Warranty replacement time. Or you can go to store to see if they can reload the OS which i doubt they can.

It shows my Google Account in the grey bar in the middle of the screen. I have even created a seperate account, that one shows all the default apps on my phone, so I know it has to be something not allowing that one account to connect to the Google Server. I am on my 2nd replacement or my third phone in general. I would assume having them try to do something like that with the os would void my warranty. I can switch between the 2 I see apps for the new one but not my old account.
