Lumia 521 won't download apps or update :/

How can I fix this? Whenever I try to download an app, the screen just says "downloading..." forever. The download never happens. It connects with the internet just fine, but it no longer will download any apps. What could be wrong with my phone?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found a blog article about how someone solved this problem. The user reset the phone to factory settings and that somehow fixed the glitch. So, I tried it. It wiped out all of my programs and text files, but the phone will at least function properly once again. In case anyone reading this needs to reset their phone, these are the instructions I followed for the Nokia 521 http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-6809

  • IPad won't download apps or update them

    If I bring my iPad to the store where I got it would they be able to answer my question or can you .my iPad won't download apps or update them from the AppStore  when I download an app it just says waiting under it but never downloads the same happens when I update them a and my wifi bars are always high ?I do hope you can help!

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

    My iPod Touch 4th generation just won't download apps. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!

    Hi, when you say you have tried everything... I presume you have gone into Settings > Store and logged out and back in with your account details?
    You could try purchasing an app via iTunes to see if its an issue with the device or the account you're using.
    Hope this helps.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    It's hard to tell what's wrong with your Apple ID. Maybe the country you have registered is different from what your friend have registered. Apps are available differently in different areas. That's what I see.

  • HT1414 I cant download apps after updated to ios6

    May I ask how come i cant download apps after updated to ios6? Is it any problem during the updating? It show i have to change my county to Malaysia but I already change to Malaysia still cannot download? It stil  show the word i have to change my country.

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > sign out and sign in again.

    Is the time zone and time set correctly?
    Go to email, tap sync on the bottom, does this work?

    Hi. My device won't update iOS in settings. It won't download any new apps for me. (It is connected to the internet). The latest app I tried to download appears stuck! Has not completed its  download, won't open and I cannot delete it. What can I do? I purchased the product online a year ago. I'm not sure of the exact date... I think it was late November 2012.
    Any help appreciated.

    If this has happened more than once the problem is likely on your PC.

  • IPhine 5s won't download app updates

    IPhone 5s 7.1.2 can't download app updates today. I have 1.9g available space and Apple support says the apps store is working. I'm at home on my wifi router and I can download updates on my iPad.
    I keep getting the popup message that the app cannot be downloaded at this time.
    aany ideas would be appreciated!
    Thanks, Kevin

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Hi I got iPhone 4 been getting apps today went to get an app and won't let me even free ones have to sign in then sign in again for billing info it's all correct but still won't download apps had problem before fixed it but won't work again

    iPhone has previously downloaded apps but go to do today and won't keeps asking for billing info which is in there and correct but then says plz update you payment there is a billing problem with your previous purchase it's done before to me so reset and erased everything and worked did that Again and still doesn't work  info is all correct have to re enter Ccv number still doesn't work driving me nuts I want my apps

    If you had money in your account when you purchased a paid app and Apple didn't claim on the payment to your bank until after the download it maybe that there was insufficient balancce in your account to complete the purchase and therefore you'll need to wait until you have the funds to make the payment, when you have billing issues it won't even let you download free apps.
    If that isn't the case then give iTunes store a call or email them and they can tell you exactly what is wrong with the account

  • IPod touch 4g won't download apps anymore and facebook won't work

    One day my iPod touch suddenly stopped downloading apps. I thought it wasn't because it hadn't been updated so i updated it but the problem still continues. I have no clue what's gone wrong but it won't update anymore saying, 'error 1004 please try again later.' so i tried again later, and later and still the problem occurs. Also my facebook app hasn't been working well with the newsfeed not appearing and i can't write statuses anymore. it won't show me any new notifications or messages, but i'm guessing thats down to facebook, but I don't know why it's doing it so any helpful answers would be much appreciated? Any help?

  • IPhone 5 won't download apps. I click the button to purchase and it starts to install but then cancels it. help

    Hi all,
    I recently just got an iPhone 5 and I discovered that I am unable to download apps on the phone. The minute I click the download button on the apps store, the button will download, immediately stop, and return to having the plus sign signifying it didn't download and was unable to download. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? It did it on my iPhone 4 too, I got the iPhone 5 yesterday and restored it to my iPhone 4 so maybe that has something to do with it. HELP.

    By the way it is able to update apps not download them so I'm very confused.
