Some apps will not open after sync.

Hello,

I downloaded iMapMyRun and Waze. I opened them both just fine and started using Waze without problems. Later, I downloaded eBay. It is a very wanting app but it worked. I later downloaded Angry Birds Free, but I never opened it. I did a sync to iTunes, which told me that certain apps could not be synced because they were not authorized on this device (meaning the MBP I assume). Just after that I tried to play Angry Birds, but it just flinches without opening. The eBay app began doing the same thing. I was still able to use Waze, but didn't try iMapMyRun. I just did another sync hoping that it would straighten things out. Now, I can't open any of those four applications. Everything else seems to work fine. Icons for those 4 apps show up in the recent apps list even though they only flinch instead of actually opening. I have tried force quiting those apps in the recent apps list and rebooting the iPhone to no avail.

Any ideas?

ThankU

Have Fun

Refer to this link where I posted further issues and a solution that may help you.

I did eventually need to delete Angry Birds Free. It reinstalled and began working properly. However, I lost my scores and ranking in the top .02% of > 12,000,000 players. I have found it very difficult and frustrating trying to reaccomplish the high scores I had before, but (although not as many points as before & burned out) am now in the top .03% of > 16,000,000 players. So, if there is information that you don't want to loose (& more precious than a silly high score), you may want to continue searching before using my remedy for those particular applications.

I hope it works out for you. These issues are agrevating for me, because I think everything should work correctly the first time and am then spoiled by Apple, which usually does give that outcome.

Good Day.
