All of my Apps stopped working!!!!! worked fine until after I synched

I downloaded about 4 apps from the app store (some free, some not). they were all working just fine initially, but since synching my iPhone none of them are working including the NY Times app, so methinks this ain't just low rent programming.

I"m starting to see this issue in a couple of other posts, so i know i'm not alone. I also tried updating my iPhone software and checking for updates through the app store and neither yields anything.

can anybody help? this is pretty lame!

mac book Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

I had the same problem. I had downloaded the Apps via my iPhone. I tried removing and re-adding them via syncing, but that didn't work. It told me that it couldn't install because I wasn't authorized to use the applications on this computer. So I completely deleted the apps, downloaded them from the iTunes app store on my computer, reinstalled, and they work just fine.

I had the same problem -- everything working fine and dandy until I synced. Afterwards, apps would quit as soon as I launched them, and the only way to get them working again was to delete them all and redownload/install them. Plugging my iPhone back into my Mac gave me an error saying the computer was not authorized.

Even if you paid for applications, you can redownload them for free. Just delete them and re-install them from the App Store, and they'll be reinstalled without additional charges.
