Installed iOS 4.3.2 now apps won't open - anyone else?

Hi, as per topic I installed OS 4.3.2 last night and since then I am unable to open any of my apps which I've downloaded.
They open, but the screen returns to the home screen. When I look at my open applications I can see that they're open, but I can't access them.
Standard Apple apps (mail, messages, safari, maps) open and work fine.

Anyone else have this problem and/or know how I can fix it?

iPhone4, iOS 4, 4.3.2

This would appear to be an iOS bug. Leave Apple some feedback here and if enough people respond, it will become a 'known issue' internally.


I would say that for any other users, try quitting any open apps (via the Multitasking tray) and restart iPhone. If that does not work, try deleting one specific, commonly-used app. Chances are, iOS clears some setting and all other apps work just fine.

ok, tried i) deleting/installing App ii)hard reset by pressing Home / Power button for 10 seconds iii) multiple resynch with iTunes and still had issue with starting some of the Apps after updating to iOS 4.3.2


To fix the issue, here is what I did

1) update the Apps on the iPhone

2) Transfter from Purchase on the iTunes (File -> Transfer purchase from iPod)


After UPDATING the Apps on the iPhone to the lastest, I can now start ALL my Apps successfuly

Problem described occurred on wife's iPad v1 after IOS update on 4/24/11. Issue appeared to affect any downloaded app, whether third part or Apple. Original apps ran as the should.


After reading through this thread and correlating a couple commonalities among posters, I removed one of the affected apps and re-installed it. Simply removing the app did not resolve the issue. However, re-installing the app DID resolve the issue.


The device is now working normally.


Thanks to all for your input and comments.

I had the same problem just 30mins ago, very frustating that after updating the 3rd party apps didn't worked.

As suggested here, I tried:

1. Re-sync and Turn off/on--> Didn't worked

2. Uninstalled an app (I picked FB) and re-installed it. --> For some weird reason, everything work fine afterwards.

This was a waste of time, Apple need to fix this...

Same here after the update - uninstalled one app then reinstalled it and everything is now working.


Interesting software quality control, Apple !
