Again all of my apps have started crashing. And again, I’m forced to do a restore. This is on a non-jailbroken regular ol’ 3G. I’m seriously frustrated. Unacceptable.

It seemed to start with a Scrabble crash and then nothing would start up. Every downloaded app just shuts down immediately after startup. Safari did crash on my several times in a short period yesterday; I don’t know if that is related or not. It was working fine this morning.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!

Okay. After a primal scream of fury, I feel slightly better. I resisted the urge to hurl my phone against a wall. But only because it costs so damn much.

UPDATE: Too late, I discoverd a tip from this thread in the Apple Discussion iPhone Forum. Next time, if it happens again, I’m going to try it. Upshot: Delete an app and reinstall it from the iPhone (not iTunes) and all the apps should work again.

UPDATE: I tried this method on my touch when it started crashing all over the place a couple of hours ago… it didn’t work. So far, a restore is the only method I know of correcting the problem once all the apps start crashing.

Last night every non-apple app on my iPhone was crashing on launch. I tried rebooting the phone and it didn’t help. Very irritating. I don’t see why everything would stop working except for the pre-installed apps!

So, I’m trying a restore from a pre-crashy backup of my iPhone. It’s almost done… I hope it works, becaus I don’t want to have to set up every setting on my phone again from a fresh restore.

Anyone else had this problem recently? Let me know what you did to fix it.

EDIT: A restore from a previous back-up seemed to do the trick.

ANOTHER EDIT (3 hours later): I just downloaded some apps, and docked my iPhone to load ‘em. It’s making me do another restore. WTH?

ANOTHER NOTHER EDIT: So just for closure, the second restore failed halfway through, and froze up iTunes and my iPhone. Or appeared to anyway. I pulled my iPhone and got it to reboot, and everything seemed fine. I did have to set up my email accounts though, which was a bit of a pain. But now everything is working smoothly. No crashes so far. I haven’t used it a lot though.
