I've noticed a lot of my apps (no pattern) do not want to start up. They start up and crash instantly. These are apps off of the app store. Yes I've rebooted. I noticed this happend after I moved cydia from page 3 to page 1, a lot of the apps on page 3 don't work. If anyone knows how to fix this please help.


Also I've tried downloading an app off the app store. It works. but it didn't fix the other ones.

All the apps are up to date, yes?
You're running iOS 4.3.3?

Hmmmm. Try double tapping home button and removing all the apps (or just the crashing ones) from the bar at the bottom by holding them to they wiggle and pressing (-). This will kind of make the apps "reset"
See if that works

worth a mention, i tried to jailbreak an iphone 4(4.3.3) with jailbreakme, with no luck on getting cydia to load/install, it shows up for a sec or two and disappears, i tried the reboot almost everytime to see if it would show up anyways(maybe 30-35 times), no luck. So i fully restored the same firmware(4.3.3)using itunes, that would do a clean install(erase all), don't forget to backup and transfer purchases first, when restored don't do a restore from backup yet, do the jailbreakme first, setup cydia and then worry about restore from backup after. Hope this helps you, as for the ipad 2, i did the jailbreakme and got thru on the first attempt, no issues for now and tested a couple apps before posting.

some jailbreaks prefer a clean install.

Yeah, Crazyjackson, I was going to suggest you restore your iPad (back to stock 4.3.3).

Then, retry the jailbreak. Sometimes, things just don't "take."

Cause otherwise? I got nothing - the iPad2 I have jailbroke works fine (and I moved the Cydia app into a folder on the 6th page of the iPad...).

I know this happens a lot on demo idevices like at the apple store.
I think it has something to do with the iTunes account, but who knows?
