Can't move apps to SD card-Froyo

An advertised feature of the Froyo update was the ability to move apps to the SD card.

When I try this I get:

 

failed to move application not enough memory

 

Anyone have a solution?

Solution is to have an "external" SD card installed in the phone. Once I did this, saves were successful.

Perhaps you don't have enough space on your SD card?

or, perhaps you need to kill some currently running apps in the phone?

Thanks for responding. Of 13.03GB on SD card, 12.63GB is available. Problem occurs with no other apps running. Have you been able to move any of your apps to your SD card?

I'm seeing this as well. My guess is that AT&T is blocking this feature, like side loading apps.

I got Angry Birds to install itself on the sd card for a HTC ARIA. However it was installed on the sd card as part of the original download from the Market. I have not tried yet to move an application to the sd card.

I have a 16g sd card installed yet I can't get apps to move to it. Screen says "cannot move app", why or rather why not?

Most apps these days wont let you move them to the sd card since it can hinder performace of the app since most sd cards are slower than internal storage.  what app are you trying to move?and what phone do you have with what version of android?
