Google play store keeps force closing

[mc511]

I have a galaxy tab 8.9 the att version and the play store keeps crashing everytime I try to open it. This happened to my sony tablet s with youtube and when I did a reinstall it didnt fix the problem. It just fixed itself a few days later. Any thoughts?

Go into settings; Applications; All; Google Play Store; Force Close; Clear Cache.
Should work, otherwise restart you tablet.
Hope this helps

Go to settings, apps, all. GO to Play Store. Clear cache and data. Reboot immediately. See if that does it

Same thing has happened to me. I Force Stop, Clear Data then immediately reboot and still the app will not open, or it tried then force closes. One thing to note, I did have some strange Facebook thing downloading earlier and I did stop that. I might have screwed something up?

Same here could this be a virus issue

I had this problem and called Google Support. They were very helpful. What I had done is disabled the Download Manager when trying to get rid of the Facebook download notification. Go into Settings...Apps....All...then find and click on Download Manager. Note that if it is disabled it will be at the very bottom of the list of apps. Once you click on Download Manager you can click to enable it again. This worked for my problem at least so I'm posting hoping it may help others.

Thanks Dorie I also disable my downloads when trying to stop this mysterious Facebook update. I followed your advice and went to Settings < Application Manager < All < Download at the end of list and I enabled it. Fixed the issue but this FB download is still downloading.
