My ipod touch has stopped running apps... why?

Question

My iPod touch has stopped running all of my downloaded Apps, I can still use all of the pre-installed Apps like calculator or stocks, and I can still listen to music or surf on Safari.

but whenever I try to started a downloaded App like Cube Runner or iDoodle, the main screen of the app pops up for about 2 seconds, and then it just takes me back to the main menu.

anybody know what the problem is?

Answer 1

This is often triggerd by trying to run a duff apllication (some are designed for the iphone only)

First try an normal reset by power off (power key until slider appears) then restart and connect to your computer and select restore ...

if this does not work a full reset is needed to do this (home and power key until it goes blank and restarts then release the power key when it asks.  then connect to your computer and it will reinstall the software and apps and also check to a update as 2.0.1 firmware is now out.
