iPhone Apps not working!!!

I've got a original iPhone which is 2.0 updated. I also bought a few apps, which worked fine till few hours ago, but now, none of them seems to work. I've tried hard reseting, switching off.... nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Thanks

iMac 2.0 Intel 1GB RAM, MBP 17" 2.16 2GB RAM iPhone & iPod 60GB, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Hello Phyton, by resetting I'm thinking you mean you've held down both the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, if you have done that and the Apps are still not working then it is time to try a restore thru iTunes, just make sure you first perform a sync to back up your data/purchased content/apps, after the sync press restore, follow the steps on screen, then load your content back into your iPhone from your last sync.

Hope this helps, Steve...

Well, I've done that but unfortunately I lost all my purchases AND a long list of to dos I've done using Omni Focus... Now, it seems that neither my Mac (I sync music media with my iMac and info such as calendars, email etc with my MBP) has my app but one (a FREE one!!!). The only app that I can find is in my MBP, but it says that I can't sync because my MBP does not have authorization to do it! I'm in s**t now! I'm gonna work tomorrow and lost all my tasks for the day...

actually I just had this problem myself. Try uninstalling 1 app and reinstalling it. I did it with Facebook. I don't know how but it fixed it.

I had the same problem (except I am using the 3G version) the only way I found how fix it was to reinstall the Apps. Which isn't the easiest or quickist way.
Hope this helps!

I've had the same problem -- apps not working on my 1st generation iPhone with 2.0 software... uninstalling and reinstalling an app seems to make it work again, but after an overnight charge/sync, the apps started not working again.

Do I have to uninstall/install each time this happens? Is this a known bug?

I would say for you to try delete the free apps and give it a go. I've read in my threads that free apps were causing similar problems. That may be the case. If not, try keep one app at the time and check which is giving you headache. Not the best solution, but maybe worth trying. Cheers

I had the same problem. I downloaded all my apps (only free ones) from the iPhone itself. I deleted all of them from the iPhone and then re-downloaded all of them from the iTunes store. This allowed me to work out the blip solitaire was causing the problems for me. iTunes would not sync blip solitaire on the iPhone, it would get an application error.

So if anyone has the same problem and has Blip Solitaire installed, delete it and it will probably fix your issues.

Same for me, I had to delete and reinstall about 10 apps last night. Very annoying. No idea what happened.

Yes! I have this too! Download Auroroa Feint, try to run it 10 to 20 times. Each time it will kick back to the main screen until one time it doesn't. That time the whole phone reboots itself. After that every app works again. It doesn't work if you manually reset the phone though.
