Nook Won't Install Apps

Hello all, My wife's nook won't install all the apps. She is able to download the app but it won't install. It will go from download to downloading to install and back to download. Nothing I have been able to find hasn't worked. Has anyone run into this and were you able to fix it? Thanks

Re: Nook Won't Install Apps

1) Archive all the apps you aren't using.

 

You can archive by doing the following: Press and hold icon of app you want to archive for 2-3 seconds. IN menu that comes up - pick Archive.

 

2) Restart your Nook.

 

3) Now install the app that wasn't installing.

This should work for 90% of cases.

OP actually had a NookColor and it looks like may be still using the old <1M app partition.

Re: Nook Won't Install Apps

Here is the update. I went through chat support yesterday night and tried a couple of things. From what I can tell our partitions are still set to the factory default. Until I have the time to take it to B&N to get corrected I reset it to the factory default then archived/deleted items we no longer needed. Was a good bandaid and got everyone happy in my house finally.
