Apps not working and video not playing

I got my brand new 32gb iPod Touch yesterday for Christmas. I turned it on, plugged it into the computer and let it sync all of my music. Everything was running fine. I even transferred some legally downloaded digital copy movies from the itunes store and put those on my touch too. I played those a bit to test out the quality, they worked. I downloaded a few free apps from the store including things like, Facebook, Aim, Kindle reader... just basic apps. they worked fine as well. Then, I completely turned the ipod off to drive to more of my family, and when i got there, i turned it back on and my downloaded apps wouldn't work. they would open for a second and immediately close.... my downloaded video wouldn't play either.

I have looked everywhere for a solution. I've tried restarting it, installing a different free app... nothing :*(
Can anyone help? Please? I love this thing!

HP, Windows XP

My daughter has had the same issue. It happened after she upgraded her iPod Touch software this morning. Her iPod Touch has worked perfectly since she received it in June, and today was the first time that she actually plugged it back into a computer since I set it up for her originally. Now, none of the videos work and none of her purchased apps work. I'm thinking of going back to default settings and starting over.

Ditto here,
Just got mine for Christmas as well.
Not real impressed with iPod so far, lasted a matter of hours.
Hope my local retailer has a good return/refund policy.

I just hope someone solves this issue because from my understanding, its been happening for a while with not only the 3rd generation touches... but also the 2nd generation. :/

Same thing for me, I got mine yesterday and it worked fine but all the trouble seemed to start when I actually paid for an app. The free ones were working fine.

The same thing is happening with my 32gb. I got it yesterday for Christmas and everything was working fine with the music and web browsing. I downloaded Pandora and Facebook apps and it would open for like a second and then close. I then tried to watch a movie and it states it can't play. I am in the process of restoring. Hope the issue gets fixed!
