I decided since my phone would randomly shut off after the gingerbread update to do a factory reset. Now when reinstalling all of my appear it tells me I'm out of.memory even though it shows I have 13gb available. I'm just trying to get an appear with 20mb so I don't understand why I can't download it. Any ideas?

Do you know how to use odin to flash things to your phone? Do you know how to boot into CWM (recover)? If so, you need to boot into recovery and clear the cache partition (not wipe data!) and clear the delvik cache. Once you reboot from doing this you should be able to download apps from the market again. At least that was my experience when I had the same problem.
 
No idea how to do any of that. I was able to reinstall probably 20 appear but the last two won't work.

That might not work, either - from what I've read, this is a known bug with the current Market version. The only "fix" seems to be to go into the Android Settings - Applications, find the Market there and uninstall all updates, i.e. resetting the Market app itself to a state before that bug got introduced. Later eventually, the Market can update itself automatically.
But there's a good chance that the new Market app is built into Gingerbread (I still can't update mine, so I can't tell for sure) and can't be reverted to the old version...
It's worth checking into - this is the only thing that has ever fixed this for any files > 20MB for me.

Bingo, that did it. Uninstalled updates and market updated itself a few seconds later. After that update I was able to download my missing apps. Those green pigs are in trouble now! Thanks for the help.

Wow, I didn't expect the Market to still be included in the older version on Gingerbread...
Glad it helped :-)
