I keep getting errors in app catalog

H-Cubed · 10/07/2009, 08:16 PM

Any help would be appreciated,

I bought the weather bug app yesterday and I should have waited because I knew that a new Pre was coming in for me. Well I got the new Pre and everything was backed up in my Profile with the exception of the weatherbug app. Well I tried to redownload the app from the catalog, after updating to 1.2.1. So I have the latest version but when I go to download the app, I get message stating download cancelled and App Catalog unavaliable. Try again later.

Any clues as to why I cant re download this app?

I'm having the same issue. I bought the iTunes Remote and teh initial download failed. Each time I try to redownload the app, I get the same "download cancelled" with the "App Catalog Unavailable" message.

same, 20-0% chance of working properly. i think its palm server issue.

H-Cubed · 10/09/2009, 08:05 PM

Well I cant access a app that I paid for so thats a big deal...

Did you get a receipt saying you paid for it in your email?

PreGk · 10/09/2009, 09:17 PM

ABSOLUTE CRAP! I just got my replacement and I cannot install any apps that I purchased. I can only install stuff that was not previously purchased. This is driving me nuts because now I have to wait an indefinite amount of time to install my homebrew apps bc of the wonderful app limit. Anyone call Palm support yet?

I have the same issue!

Yea I've got the receipt. Who should I contact about this?

RCJH · 10/12/2009, 12:24 AM

Having the exact same problem! I can't re-download paid apps after getting a new Pre.

PreGk · 10/12/2009, 03:40 PM

yea, I still can't use any apps I paid for since I got my replacement, and to throw salt in thw wound, my bookmarks didn't get restored from my Palm profile. I miss Hotsyncing.

jasondec72 · 10/12/2009, 06:05 PM

Same problem here. Got a new pre today and can't download ANY app from the app catalog. I purchased the WeatherBug app a few days ago. The only apps on my phone are the ones that reloaded when I signed into my Palm Profile.

Any fix?

Joesmith_fromchat · 10/13/2009, 03:57 PM

Has anyone found a fix or work around?

PreGk · 10/13/2009, 04:08 PM

nope,seems we are out of luck. I'm waiting for a level 3 Palm tech to call me back, if he tells me to wipe out my Pre again I will hang up on him/her.

PreGk · 10/13/2009, 04:09 PM

I hope everyone is calling Palm to report this error bc apparently I was the 1st to call in.

Joesmith_fromchat · 10/13/2009, 04:31 PM

I have called, again, and again, and again, the response I get is "that's odd"

I hope webos-internals has a look at this, they could fix it.

MGoerke · 10/14/2009, 02:48 AM

ok i am not alone! 1.5 weeks with my pre, i buy 2 apps replaced pre (screen went out monday night) new pre can download other stuff but not my pre paid apps!

marktaylor · 10/14/2009, 09:21 PM

Ditto here...I have contacted the developer as well...as if you look on Palm's support site, they suggest that. We shal see what happens.

Shadavis08 · 10/14/2009, 09:43 PM

i hope everyone knows that the new app fairdinkum or what ever you call it ,fixes this issue lol

marktaylor · 10/14/2009, 10:17 PM

fairdinkum fixes the space issue...does it fix not being able to re-download apps to a new, replacement phone too?

dustybmx · 10/15/2009, 01:36 PM

I am having the same issue after having my pre replaced. The Fair Dinkum app does NOT resolve this issue.
