ok. gmail synced up, market back working, music and photos there... no apps. sign into market, and only 6 apps that i had appear "not installed." talk me off the ledge, where are they? what's my next step? i have the same amount of available space on the card as i did pre-reset (im almost positive) so it seems like the apps aren't lost, but i have no clue how to get them, wtf
Only your paid apps will show in the "Apps Not Installed" area. Normally those would install automatically if they were installed prior to the reset. Since they did not, just install the ones you want. As to the unpaid apps, mine have been installing automatically, but if yours did not just go into the market and reinstall those apps too.
