iPhone apps close immediately after opening

I have tried :

- iPhone reboot (several times)
- install a new app through iTunes (several times)
- deauthorize and reauthorize the computer (several times)
- uninstall all apps and reinstall
- reset all iPhone settings
- iPhone restore
- scour all discussion threads for solutions

to no avail. This all started after weeks of needing to reauthorize the computer every sync, then halfway syncing when I was away from an internet connection. I stopped it in attempt to not lose all of the apps, and it didn't delete the apps, but then they would close just after launch. Any more ideas? Thanks.

Intel Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

I used to have the same problem. the iPhone was acting weird so I tried to reboot it but it didn't work so I forced-rebooted it (holding Power and Home simultaneously) and since then all the apps that didn't came with iPhone fail to launch (you see the first screen for half a sec then you're back to the home screen).

It disappeared when I synced it with iTunes.

I am experiencing the same problem you describe here. It started when I upgraded the iphone software to the latest 3.1.2 (I think) and also the ITunes. None of my third-party apps work. I have rebooted, restored, and done everything. Installed and deleted apps. Can anyone help.
