Most Applications Won't Start

[Kaeonadai]

I bought a few apps on my old iPhone yesterday. I bought an iPhone 3g today. I finally got it working, but none of my apps will launch. They show the opening screen, then kick me back to the home screen.

Is anyone else having this problem?

I had the same problem earlier (using yesterday's firmware, not today's official firmware). My phone was acting sluggish, so I restarted it. Upon restart, I got the connect to itunes screen! I did a hard reset, and my phone restarted fine, but 3 of my apps (holdem, monkey ball, and the dice poker game) would show the first screen then crash. I turned my phone off and left it off for 5 minutes (to drain the capacitors) and that fixed the problem.

Had the problem. Turn the iphone (16gb, not-3g) off and on, and it solved the problem for good.

I had the same problem after syncing with my mac. The only way I could get the apps to work was reinstall them all.

I have the same issue - I've had my iPhone 3G for two weeks now and every time I restart, sync, or update the iPhone's software (I just went to 2.0.1) all of my App Store (ie non-native) apps will only open with the front page, then exit. No error message, no nothing, they just disappear. I used to be able to reset the iPhone one more time and that would fix it. Now after updating to 2.0.1 That doesn't even do it - I have to reinstall every app. :-(

I have had the problem twice. In my case, it seemed to be caused whilst updating apps from the App store on iPhone whilst using Edge, updating more than 1 app at the same time.

So for now, (have upgraded to v2.0.1), when there are more than 1 updates, I will update seperately and wait until finish, before I update the next one.

Double check that you aren't on 1.1.4 because i restored and accidently restored to 1.1.4 and somehow still had the App Store, and they would crash as soon as i'd try to open them.. oooooops. lol.

Try just turning it on and off thats what i did and it worked fine

as people have said, it can be various problems.

The steps are

1) Turn iPhone off and on

2) If not fixed, delete apps from iphone and reinstall (redownload or resync)

3) If still not fixed, restore firmware.

everyone should open iTunes, click on the store pannel (up by file, edit ect) press authorize computer!

then delete the apps manually off of the phone, re-sync them from your computer to the phone.

that SHOULD cure it. I had the same problem when i first got the phone. It got to the point where i did not sync ANY of my apps, and only kept them/and downloaded them unto the phone. Doing that allowed the apps to work. However, doing the authorization aswell as the delete/resync should cure all of the issues.

Just wanted to say a huge thanks, it worked a treat.
