Re-Downloading apps from the Market

I just replaced my old broken droid X with a new one that came today. I made a list of the apps on my old phone so I can re-download them after i switched phones.

When i go into the app store though to re-download though, the app store still says I have them installed and wont let me download them to my new phone. How do I remedy this?
 
They should have automatically downloaded. Try to open any of them, if it opens they are installed.
 
Can you perform an uninstall from in the market, then re-install? I might also try a Clear cache / Clear data of the Market from in the application manager. That's an interesting situation, I've never come across that when switching phones or even resetting the same phone. There's a record of the apps I've purchased, but nothing shows as installed. Good luck!
 
Can you open them from the market? Normally if you are running 2.2 or later it will auto download your apps it may take a while depending on how many apps you have.
