Ipad Updated to 4.3.2 & now will not open Apps

I updated my Ipad to 4.3.2 this afternoon using itunes on my MacPro. Now the Ipad won't open apps such as Kindle, Numbers, Pages, Google Earth etc. It tries to open, shows black screen and immediately goes back to the icon page. Internet connections to websites like Google, MSBC etc. do work. HELP

Ipad & MacPro, iOS 4

Please ignore the question about purchased apps in the prior post. The app store recognized my account allowed replacement downloads. One final question. I thought that itunes backed up ALL my apps prior to loading the 4.3.2 software update. Is it supposed to do this or not? Thanks

There is a pulldown menu option in iTunes on your computer for "Transfer all purchases from iPad". Typically, this is done as part of a sync. I usually do this and sync, just prior to an upgrade.

I have my iTunes set to prevent automatically syncing devices, so I can control this step manually.
It's under Edit > Preferences > Devices.

And as you stated, you can re-download apps for free as long as you use the same apps store account.

Glad you are good to go.

I have exactly the same issue. Updated my personal and work iPads the other day both are screwed, I can't open any app that I have bought since I got it (pre-loaded apps such as Safari still work). This is terrible service, really fed up with Apple. As their sales go up the customer service and quality of product is going down; they really have to turn this around.


Now it's up to me to spend hours sorting this out. Not good enough Apple.
