This problem has only come about today. I fancied downloading a few apps but when I did so all of them were unsuccessful. There were also a few updates that were apparently needed and none of them have worked either.

I've done the whole turning it off and on again but to no avail. Tried it on WiFi as well as normal network, still nothing.

Any ideas?

I presume you mean the Market?

Don't panic, it appears it's not just you that's affected.

I cannot download anything from the Google market today either and neither can my wife. We're both on different mobile networks and we've both tried WiFi too.

What's more annoying is if you buy anything today from there it won't download and you can't use the refund option either because that's not working too!

It appears to be a problem with Google market.

Yes, just me being dumb, I did indeed mean the android market.

Glad it wasn't just me having the issue. Shall wait and see when it gets sorted.

Would be handy if google had an option to download the APKs from the app website for a manual install via your computer.

Well that didn't work. Still not downloading. Well one got to 18% very slowly then decided to give up.
Out of ideas now.

Mine cleared up yesterday (Desire, Vodafone)
Guess it's just something that'll sort itself out eventually.

This happened a couple of months ago with my HTC Desire. Eventually found it that it was because I had changed my Gmail account name from @googlemail.com to @gmail.com. For some reason it didn't agree with the phone and prevented apps from downloading.

Yeah had intermittent problems today. I find if you cancel and re-try it sometimes works.

Before and upto reading this thread I had no problems however, last night whilst trying to update a few applications it just wouldn't have it.

A while back I asked why it was that when I looked at my downloads in the market I often noticed that apps I had installed wouldn't say " Installed ". It was said this was because I had apps that were installed to the SD card.

Is it possible that updating applications that are installed to the SD could cause potential problems, such as stalled/failed or non cooperative downloads?
