Suddenly my iPod touch can not open any app.. at all

Hi. All off a sudden, my iPod touch won't open any downloaded apps from iTunes store. It was functioning normally, but without any clear reason (i didn't do anything to my iPod) suddenly no apps will open. When I click an icon, the menu zooms out and the app opens, but only for one second or so. Then suddenly it returns to the menu, and the menu did not animate this time. I tried holding the menu button, not working. Holding menu + power, problem not fixed. Syncing with iTunes, still same problem. I don't want to delete my apps by erasing iPod because there is important data in "WritePad", a sort of notes app. What should I do?

Yes, I reset via the Ipod... then via Itunes, downloaded new Ipod software, deleted apps, then ALL apps, then downloaded the apps again, then dowloaded a different NEW app... Still NOTHING works! Why is this doing this in the FIRST place! I spent $400 for this, and now the apps work, and it's MY fault because I don't stand on one foot, hold the correct finger on my nose, point my left ear in the direction of the North Star and whistle the correct tune? Why doesn't this thing just RUN the APPS? (Sorry, but it's a little frustrating to spend hours poring over solutions to a problem, try them all, then ask if there IS a solution, and be asked if I've tried all the solutions I've already tried!) My LAST problem was not being able to get the email set up, calling up Apple support and listening while the support person did a search in these forums for answer (which I had already done!)

- Do they open but quickly close?

Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home

You do NOT need to restore your iPad.
I believe that the problem is that there is a disconnect with your iTunes account and your iPad. What you are experiencing is a somewhat common issue after you sync your iPad, update your device - it could be a number of reasons that are causing it. the recommended fix is to download another app in order to "reconnect" your ID and iTunes account to the iPad.
You can read more about it here. You will need a WiFi internet connection in order to fix it - or you have to be able to sync with your own iTunes library.
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
But this is what it says in the article.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

Mini will open to desktop but can not open any apps

We can get the Mini up to the desktop, but it will not let us open any apps or shutdown. I can not remember what version of OS I have and can not open information about the Mini.

Does the mouse seem to be working?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

Maybe the network is blocking FB.

I can not open any app on the left hand strip of my i-phone3

Nothing on the left hand strip of my phone screen will work. The fault seems to be only one button wide.

Have you tried a Safe Boot?

TS1702 This is a reasonable start. However, my iPod Touch does not download any apps, nor does it update existing one's. Any idea what is the possible cause of this?

The app starts to appear, and immediately stays in "waiting". Never does go further than this.

My iPod touch can't find any wifi?

My iPod touch can't find any wifi at all. I've restored it reset everything and it still can't find the wifi even when I had it right next to the router. Any help please? I got this ipod from my brother a few days ago and apparently the wifi worked fine until he updated it to the 3.1 update or something like that so he gave it to me. I want to be able to connect to the wifi in my house and it just won't. Any help please????

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- 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 iPod Touch can't search any wi-fi signal, but my wi-fi lock is opened! (And I just finish to update my iPod Touch)

Yesterday I uptated my iPod Touch. And I found that my iPod Touch could not find any wi-fi signs!!! What should I do in this moment?

Seems like the other networks are blocking you from sending emails.
Do yo have more that one email account on the iPod?
Have you tried sending from another account?

The Music app on my ipod touch will not open?

The Music app on my ipod touch will not open, it loads but the sceen is always blank and then closes the music app and goes back to my list of apps.. what do i do? any ideas?

I have the same problem since a couple days ago, I will try to refrain from swearing or slagging on Apple, got a few questions for you, Gerbrandt, or anyone else who's had this problem and worked around it by means of a 3rd party app:
1-Since using panamp have you used your ipod in any docks successfully? (ex: I have a JVC car deck, a Klipsch dock and the Yamaha dock for my home theatre, all will be worthless if I can't resurrect my iPod as a music player)
2-Has using panamp done anything to help the original Apple music app to work or has it stayed dead?
3-Do you have any smart playlists? Like others with the 64GB model I have many many songs (that's the WHOLE point of the large capacity iPod, isn't it?) and I found that the more smart playlists I had the worse the apple music app behaved back when it was still working.
I'll check out panamp tonight, hopefully that will stop me from curb-stomping my iPod.
Anyone know whether an Apple "genius" has access to any sort of debugging facilities that would make it worth visiting the store for help on this matter? (ex: if they have root access to check for corrupt song database, or debug logs of some sort, or can do any direct manipulation of commands over the dock connector).
It sure would be nice to know why this happens, I have about 14,000 songs locked in iTunes now and many hours of time invested in ripping my CD collection but I don't want to buy a replacement iPod only to have this happen to it too. It's annoying enough the 4 hours it takes to resynch after a system restore (which in the end did nothing to resolve the original issue).
