Apps wont open after I sync up to itunes?

[ProfitOfDoom]

Im not sure why this is happening but every time I sync up to itunes to get some songs my apps wont open. They are all there and act like they are going to open but they just close,but I found out if I delete a app then go to app store re-download it everything works again.
Anyone know why this is happening,or what I can do to fix it?

I don't know what is going on. Are you signed into iTunes on your PC with same account (username) as your iPhone? It will only work if that is done. I don't think this is necessary, but under iTunes I always first go to File->Transfer purchases from iPhone/iPod, before syching.

You're having some very fundamental iTunes problems. Your iPhone purchase came with 90 days of free technical support (and 1 year hardware) from Apple (no matter who you bought the phone from, ATT, Best Buy). Call them on the phone (go to Apple.com and support). Or, better yet, make an appointment at an Apple store's Genius Bar, and they will help you face to face. You get free tech support, make good use of it while you can!

The apple web page also has very good video's on the iphone, iTunes, etc. Here is one example on synching.

Apple - Tutorials


Probably worth the 20 min drive over to the Legacy Apple store in your area. They help with the most basic and complex questions, and they do any warranty service on your iPhone device. Apple Retail Store - Legacy Village

As a last resort, change your WA name...maybe it will give you better luck!

P.S.: if you are in a fringe area for 3G in Eastlake, you may wish to try the phone in 2G only; in the iPhone switch to 2G only.

It seems the problem was that I dint authorize the itunes on my pc and when it synced and finished it must have conflicted some things that wasnt authorized. Its been a week and fine after syncing many times. I just thought I would mention thats what fixed it in case anyone has this problem.

It is a well known bug. I don't know if it has to do with the itunes authorization as you indicated or not. It happened a couple of times to me as well even though my itunes was authorized. The fix is as simple as downloading another free app (any app) and then deleting it if you don't want it. That seems to clear it up in most cases. Sometimes, people have had to sync with itunes, delete all the apps of the phone and then re-sync. That clears it up as well.

Another solution (Apple recommended) was to remove itunes and reinstall it again and authorize and things worked after that.

wow this has been happening to me lately and it has been a pain. Happened like 3 times now and I am getting tired of re-downloading the apps, then getting an emial from itunes saying that I downloaded them again Oh well, I will have to mess with iTunes when I get home to see if I can fix it.
