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

Okay. I know your issue probably been fix now, but just incase it happenes again, and to spread the word on one possible solution for this problem.

This is what I did.

Deleted one app and re-installed (Don't know if that did it, but I just wanted to mention it).

Open iTunes.

Clicked on my iPod

Clicked on apps tab(after Summary)

Sync.

That's all.

Hopefully it worked.

Hey, so this was also happening to me, i fixed the problem by going to the app world and going to updates, hit update all of update the apps that need to be updated, this might take a second but hopefully it fixed your problem, my instagram and twitter etc would not open, the screen would just do a weird flash thing and not open them, i updated my apps so hopefully this works for you guys!!!

Hi All,

Yes updating a App is enough to fix the prob!!!! and all the apps start workin again...ths a temporary solution...

What if there is No Wifi ????????????😕

I am not having access to Wifi for the past 1 week and I am unable to open any installed apps...

The games and other entertainment apps which are installed should work, ths the main purpose of a ipod - ENTERTAINMENT...

SO i m actually struck, unable to use my ipod for anythin else other than for music!!! 😟

its sadd...something really needs to b done!!!

The same thing happened to me, I literally freaked out for a moment. I was really afraid if my iPad was broken. I just deleted one of my free Apps (Wich was Talking Tom, if you wonder), then I simply re-downloaded it again. After that everything runs smoothly, just like before. I wouldn't had figured that out if it wasn't for the useful advices I found here at this page, so thanks alot to all of you! c:
