When I click on the app, it looks like it's going to open but then quickly goes back to the screen. I've tried turning off my phone, restarting it, and resyncing the apps on iTunes (where you check and uncheck the apps). Because I downloaded most of my apps on my phone, not the computer, the checking on iTunes only fixed the apps I bought on iTunes. I'm currently downloading the new update, 5.1.1, but still have 2 hours left. Will this fix it? How can I fix the apps I bought on my phone? Thanks!
Here are a few things you can try.
Hold the home button and power button on your device until you see the apple logo - once phone reboots test.
If that didnt fix it try this.
Go to settings>general>reset>reset all settings - follow the setup assistant - test again.
If that didnt work try this
Connect to computer
Click on iPhone under devices.
Click on Apps tab
Uncheck Sync apps - click remove - click apply
Recheck sync apps - Recheck all apps desired- apply
If that didnt work then your down to the restore, and setup as new.

Once the restore is complete do not restore from backup - choose setup as new.
Make sure to backup your contacts/photos/Calendars/ before doing this since this will erase everything off of the device

*I stopped downloading the update because I read it messes up the iPhone 4.

Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.
