Thanks for the input. I have restarted both my computer and phone - a few times now - and my apps are still not working...ugh.
Right now I'm restoring my phone and going to try and reinstall my apps and see if that helps.
Of course, it doesn't help that I'm 100% Apple and iTunes ignorant. I know all the apps and internet are so awesome, but man just a plain ordinary phone is so much easier to deal with :)
