Error 501 while updating YouTube

[aspentwo]

I have had a problem with Youtube which stopped after a minute or two. Message was not connection to server lost. Cannot remember exact words but Touch to Retry appeared at end of message. I have been onto Google Forum and followed some suggestions like change date and untick Auto date and time. Restart and clear youtube cache. Also did a Force Stop. Restarted and tried to update youtube but received the error 501.

Have searched this forum but found no sollutions. Is this a problem for Google or Sony? as there seems to bo no sollution.

Have only had this phone since the 1st October 2015.

Maybe someone from Sony could provide the answer to fix the problem.

Hi jainparth94, I had this problem with my M4. I have just updated the M4 to Android 6.0.1 after I received a message stating that the update is available. Because of the small memory I had to un-install a number of apps to get the required space for the update. Once the update was installed I had updates for apps including Youtube. Youtube updated without a problem.

So if you are still having the problem with youtube, and have not updated the software to 6.0.1, do what I did and your problem will be solved.

The only problem now is still the lack of memory. All apps including YouTube work fine. I understand that there are no more updates for the M4 Aqua.

Same problem here. YouTube didnt update. I had to make space on the storage because it was almost full. No YouTube doesnt update anymore Errol 501. 

I try the things the app advise but didnt work.

I can see the update is download and it goes wrong at the installation. Is there a solotion for this stupid programm.

Hi, I had the same problem. I had uninstalled all my YouTube and Hangouts updates but then I couldn't reinstall them. So I made someone else send me these apps through the app 'SHAREit'. Please download this from the app store if you don't have it. Once the other person sends you the apps you can install them again and they are good to go. THIS WORKED FOR ME.
