after ios 5.1 update apps won't download

I had trouble downloading the ios 5.1 update, but found a thread on here that pointed me to an open dns address, so i typed that in the dns field and it worked. I have the updated ios 5.1. I went back and deleted the dns address, connected to my local wi-fi and the internet and all functions seem to work fine, but when i try to download an app, whether it's one i used to have or a new one, it won't download. It begins to, then the icon flashes waiting/loading, waiting/loading, then a screen pops up that says "unable to download application. "imovie" could not be downloaded at this time. done, retry"


It's not just imovie, I've tried others as well.


i turned off and turned on. I can't sync now because i'm away from my laptop. i have verizon iphone 4s.

I have the same problem on my iphone 4. It did not start immediately after updating to iOS 5.1. Just started a couple of days back and is driving me nuts. Any apps that I have tried to update go under the waiting mode and wont do anything. Tried to delete some of them and re-install but like the others have mentioned, new app installation again goes under waiting but nothing happens.

Tried several restarts on the phone but no good.

Any suggestions???
