Apps from Ipod Touch won't start

Hello everyone,
Since about a day and a half I have been having problems with my Ipod Touch. All of the apps I got via the App store fail to start up. That is, they start up, the opening screen of the app quickly flashes and I am returned to the home screen. This ONLY goes for apps I installed myself, i.e. Internet, the App store itself, email and the like all work properly.
I believe it was tuesday night that I updated to the new operating system for iPod Touch, iOS 4.3.3 (I have checked and my Ipod is running on iOS 4.3.3, just not sure when I installed it...). Wednesday morning I used a few apps and they worked fine, but in the afternoon none would open anymore. I tried switching it off and on again a few times, hooked it up to iTunes and searched for updates, but nothing helped. Since all apps that are downloaded have this problem, I doubt removing and re-downloading all would work. That'd take ages too, so I hope someone can help me with how to fix this? By the way, it is thursday night as I write this, the problems have been going on for over a day now
Thanks for the help already
Erik

- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next download/install a free app. Others have said that that worked.

Ipod touch won't start, just shows screen saying to connect to itunes.

Ipod touch won't start or charge, or do anything other than when I plug it in, the screen shows a picture of the usb cord connecting to itunes. When I tried to connect to itunes using my computer, nothing happened. Any suggestions?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If you sign in to your Apple ID then your apps will be visible by clicking the "purchased" tab at the bottom of the screen.
Music you've purchased from Apple will appear automatically if you sign in to your account. Other music you'll need to download from your PC assuming you're not subscribed to iTunes Match.

Ipod touch won't start after restore

Ipod touch 3rd Generation- battery was completely dead after sitting for a week or so. I charged it but couldn't get it to turn on. Went into recovery mode, connected it to the computer and re-loaded everything, but when restore is done, the IPOD still won't start or display in itunes.

IPod touch won't start at all!

Hi all,
My iPod touch is a 2nd gen. version3.1.2 . I did a restore from iTunes and now my iTouch won't start at all. I think it's dead, someone please help me!

First ? would be is it charged sorry got to ask. Did you try and hold the button on top and the one on the front at the same time and keep holding it even when the turn power slide shows don't let go until you see the apple than let go. than try to turn it on. Sometimes they freeze it happen to me when I first got it.

IPod touch won't start

After upgrading to the 2.0 update, my iPod touch started getting really slow, and eventually crashed - it shut itself down and did the Apple logo thing. But it stayed on the Apple logo forever, never moving on. I tried restarting it again, turning it off, plugging it into a dock or computer, and everything else. As it crashed, it disappeared from iTunes, and as it didn't even get up to the Slide to unlock screen, it didn't appear in iTunes.
I restored it by holding down the home button, and did a clean, fresh install. Everything seemed to be working fine. Annoyed that I'd lost everything, but happy that it was working. Then, today, I had just finished syncing in iTunes, and it said 'iPod OK to remove', so I did, but the sync screen was still on the iPod, even after I removed it from the PC. I did the power + home button restore, and guess what - it got stuck on the Apple logo, exactly the same as last time. I know what to do now, and I have it backed up, but it's still going to take me 1/2 hours to re sync everything.
I am confident that there is some problem with the 2.0 update - I have never had this problem before. It is impossible for me to cope with the re syncing of ALL content if it simply freezes, but I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

It's not a particular application. The 2.0 firmware is a total disaster. I've had my iPod Touch since March, and I never once had to restore it in four months of running the 1.1.4 firmware. Ever since I updated to 2.0, I've had to restore it completely at least a dozen times. I have repeatedly lost all of my data and settings. The only way to avoid the problem completely is not to install or use ANY applications except the default ones.
If you do choose to use other applications, you have to exercise extreme caution at all times, but even that might not be enough. Here are a few tips...
1. Never install ANYTHING through the App Store on the iPhone/iPod itself. Not even updates. App installs on the device frequently get stuck, may never finish installing, and once that happens, you're hosed. You'll have to restore and reinstall everything again. All installation should be done through iTunes. Never, ever use the App Store on the device.
2. Never cancel a backup or sync (by clicking the X in the iTunes window). I realize the backup process takes forever, but if you cancel it, you'll end up with a corrupt backup, and if you try to restore from it, it will not work. The worst part is, it deletes your previous backup before starting the new one. So, if you cancel the backup, you will not be able to revert to a previous backup either. You will lose all of your data in all of your applications, and there is no way to get it back.
3. After completing a successful backup (during the sync process), you can disable backups so you don't have to sit through the whole process everytime you sync. To disable backups, paste the following command into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true
However, you will want to turn it back on and do a proper backup at least once a day, if you're using any apps that store data that you don't want to lose. You can do so by changing "true" to "false" in the above line, like so:
defaults write com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool false
After doing this, run a sync in iTunes, and it will do another full backup. Then you can disable it again.
4. Applications are going to crash. The 2.0 firmware is extremely buggy and it affects all third-party applications. Don't blame the apps. Don't bother removing and reinstalling apps. They are going to crash anyway. Sometimes it will just return you to the home screen with all of your app icons. But usually it will cause your iPhone/iPod to spontaneously reboot, and you'll have to stare at the Apple logo for at least a minute or so while it reboots.
Apple is furiously working to fix these and other issues in the 2.1 firmware update, which is currently in beta. Until that update has been released, and confirmed to have fixed the many, extremely serious problems in 2.0, the iPhone OS platform should be considered unstable and unreliable. If you decide to install any applications, you have to accept the risk that the entire device may freeze and completely stop working at any time. Even if you follow all of my advice, it might happen anyway.
So my final advice is this: If you absolutely need your iPhone/iPod to work, and you don't want to risk having to restore/reinstall everything all over again, DO NOT INSTALL ANYTHING ON IT. Not through iTunes, not through the App Store on the device. Use the built-in programs only, and wait for the 2.1 firmware.

Delete app from iPod Touch, but still shows up in iTunes

I've deleted a couple of apps from my iPod Touch, but after a sync they are still showing up in the iTunes apps tab with my iPod plugged in. They are both unchecked, so that they will not sync, but I can't seem to delete the app itself from my computer. In the previous version of iTunes, you could manually delete an app from iTunes and it would be gone, not just unchecked.
Any advice?
Using latest version 9.

Try going into your iTunes/Mobile Application folder (wherever that is on Win XP) and deleting the .IPA for that particular app. Thats how I permanently delete my unwanted apps as simply deleting them in itunes or on the touch desnt get rid of them completely and iTunes always trys to put them back in there as it stayed stored in my application folder.

Will not Sync Apps from iPod Touch to MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro 17" running the latest OS and latest iPod Touch. When I tried to backup the iPod Apps to the MacBook I get the following errors. I have the de-authorized and reset the "iTunes/Store/Authorize This Computer" several times as suggested in several posts but still all I get is the following:
*Some of the purchased items on the iPod "XXXX", including Y! Messenger", could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.*
and
*To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
This computer is already authorized. Including this one, you have authorized one computer out of your available 5.*
I'm stuck, I have done all this(de-authorized and authorized) several times, I can't upgrade my iPod OS, I can't save my iPod Apps using Sync to my MacBook and what I have found so far on posts leave this same result.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Could the items not transferring have been purchased under a difference iTunes account and thus you are not authorizing the the computer with the correct iTunes account?

Can't transfer apps from iPod touch to iTunes on Pc

I can't seem to be able to copy my ipod apps into my iTunes account. I have made the purchases from my ipod, but I would also like to manage them from iTunes. Also, I have a problem with creating a new gamecenter account. It says i should select the country and 'tap next'. There is not 'next' button, tab or anything else to 'tap'. Any suggestion would be appreciated as long as it doesn't make me lose the apps i paid for. Thanks.

Ipod Touch Won't Start after Latest Upgrade

I was just prompted to upgrade my Ipod Touch 4g to the latest version of software. It went through the download process and started to install the software. At the end of the installation I got an error message that said something to the effect that the software could not finish installing. Now my screen is stuck with the usb cable and the itunes logo and I can't reset my Ipod. I have pressed the ON/OFF button with the HOME key button for ten seconds and I can't get rid of the usb cable and Itunes logo.
Do I have any options here? My Ipod is less than 3 months old.

You can use RecBoot to get it out of recovery mode or try doing a manual install, as outlined in link below.

How can I remove an app from ipod touch permanently?

Hello, I have installed a free game app in my ipod toch but I do not have much free memory left and I would like to remove it permanently. I know about pressing on the touch screen and deleting it with the x, but I need to remove it so that it doens't take up memory. Thank you! Regards!

That is the only way to remove the app. Resetting the iPod may help get back some of the storage space.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
