My iPhone 4S Won't Launch Any Apps! Please Help!

Hi there. I have a brand new iPhone 4S 64GB in White which I received direct from the Apple store earlier today in the UK. I upgraded from a 32GB White iPhone 4 which I had upgraded to IOS 5 on my Mac.
The phone seemed to be fine and after spending some time syncing all my apps and music I went to try it out.
Unfortunatly NONE of my apps will open. They just launch and then instantly close again. Only the pre-installed apps will work. EVERYTHING else just opens and instantly crashes.
Please can anyone help? Right now I'm doing a full wipe and restore to see if I can get it to launch anything.
Not too happy

Just thought I'd update this. It seems my iTunes library file was corrupt, I had to delete it and re-install ALL my apps and re-organise all my music and books but everything seems fine now (touch wood).
No idea why it happened, hasn't happened before and there was no warning, funny that it happened as soon as I tried to use my 4S. I'm just glad the phone seems fine now but just wanted to post the solution on the off chance anyone else has the issue.
This thread can be closed if necessery.

    Eggshell Design have you tried removing and reinstalling the Creative Cloud desktop application?  You can find the uninstaller in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.

    When I click on an app it immediately goes back to the homescreen. The only apps that work are the ones that came on the phone. Is there something I need to fix?

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked
    Allow user to administer this computer
    Then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • It's been weeks and itunes still won't launch...please help!

    Itunes and quicktime are sucessfully downloaded on my pc, but when i click on the itunes icon on my desktop, nothing happens, not even an error message telling me why itunes wont open.
    I've been through all troubleshooting tips, but i still have no solution to this problem. If anyone knows a possible solution to this problem please help me out!

    Me too. This seems to be a widespread problem with no
    solution in sight. I was strongly considering
    updating my ipod but now I'm not so sure. I really
    hope a fix comes out soon.
    I posted similar problem last week. A lot of us XP users have been getting a runtime error message with no further explanation. There seems to be a conflict with the latest iTunes update and QuickTime. Finally found instructions for removing and reinstalling that has taken care of the problem. Go to
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    and choose "Completely Remove iTunes and QuickTime." Good luck!

  • My FCP Won't Play ANY AUDIO PLEASE HELP! I spent 20 hrs on this!!!

    So I'm editing some footage from a trip a friend and I took and (stupid) downloading a piece of crap MPlayer and, before I put in the DVD mind you, save my project. That d*&% Mplayer freezes up on me and after deleting that, I find in ALL of my FCP sequences, NO AUDIO PLAYS. I'm mean nothing. I have probably spent about 20 hours editing so I'm sure you can see my frustration. Also (body after the funeral), I set my autosave on every 10 minutes and it hasn't ever worked. What sould I do? IIIII NNEEEDDD HEEEELLLPPP!!!!

    Have you checked the sound pane in System Preferences to make sure the program you loadedd didn't change something? Also check the audio routing in FCP to make sure it's set correctly as well.

  • My iphone won't download any apps i dont know what to do

    My phone won't download any apps anymore. I don't know what to do.

    Make sure you don't have any paused installs or downloads in other apps, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

  • My iPhone 5 won't update/install apps !! Any idea why ?

    I own an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4s and an iPad 2.
    They are all not jailbroken and are all running on ios 6.0.1
    While my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 have no problem updating existing apps or installing new apps, my iPhone 5 won't update/install apps all !!
    To be fair, about 2 week ago, all my iPhone 5 update/install won't work but after a day or two, they started downloading.
    But now, my iPhone 5 updates and installations have been stalled for a week.
    What is happening ? Can anybody please help ? Thanks.

    Okay fixed it:
    First of all make a backup and sync your iPhone in iTunes.
    Next reinstall your iPhone using DFU mode:
    (FIND HOW 2 GET IN DFU MODE ON GOOGLE, APPLE DO NOT ALLOW TO PUT IN LINKS HERE :-( )
    Then choose to put your latest backup back on your iPhone.
    And voila you should see you now can recieve updates from App Store.
    (It worked for me)

  • How can I fix my iPod if it won't load any app?

    My iPod won't load any apps and if it does I will get kicked out of the app within 20 seconds. I've read that I should just try restarting it by holding the home and power button until it shuts off, but my power button is stuck. The other thing I've read is to just download another app but it kicks me out of the App Store and iTunes or it won't load them. Could someone please help. I don't want to have to reset it. Thanks.

    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My iphone 4s won't detect any wifi networks.

    Hi
    My iPhone 4s won't detect any wireless networks.  It was working fine until last night when the connection dropped int he middle of me watching a programme.  At first I thought it was our router, but I reset that about 5 times, and all other devices are working fine on it.  The phone won't detect any other networks either - if I ask to join a network it comes up with the message "could not scan for wireless networks".  I have tried resetting the network settings as suggested on the support page, but it hasn't worked.  Can anybody help?  Thank you.

    If no change after resetting network settings on the iPhone, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • My ipad 2 and iphone 4S won't connect to app store via wifi but will connect via 3g

    my ipad 2 and iphone 4S won't connect to app store via wifi but will connect via 3g - both are running 6.0.1 - I have tired several wifi networks but same result.

    Hi LandJ1980,
    I would recommend first trying these steps:

    If that does not work, this article has some additional ideas to try, even though you are only seeing this with the App Store:
