Restored Nandroid Backup, all apps on SD card missing

Did you move from a ROM that allowed all apps to be moved to the SD card to a ROM that doesn't?

Were these moved prior to or after the nandroid you made? And if prior to, are you sure you installed the latest backup? Sometimes the date code can be off.
I moved my apps to my SD before I made a backup and flashed the new rom. I also backed up all apps with titanium. When I was on the new ROM, I restored the backed up apps from titanium and moved them back to my SD card while on the new ROM. It's pretty much all non-system apps and apps that don't have widgets.

Okay. Have you tried to restore the Ti Backup? Or is that when things went wonky? I'd try to restore the nandroid again and see if it clears up the issue.
The Ti app is on my SD, so I can't get it to open. And I restored the nandroid backup a second time when I first noticed everything missing. Could I run the nandroid backup for the ROM i just came from, Move my Ti app to phone, backup all apps, then run this nandroid again? Or will Ti still be on the SD when it reverts back to this backup?

The backup will rewrite the entirety of the phone's internal memory, so you're still stuck.
Is the market installed? If so, download Ti Backup again and see if you can get it to work that way.

I'd say try downloading Ti again and see if you can get it installed and seeing what it says. Did you backup the apps again before restoring back?
I did not back them up a second time before restoring back. Even worse...after I restored the apps from Ti, I deleted the backups to free up memory. I just re-installed TI from the market and it shows the apps I'm missing, but they are crossed out. It only asks if I want to un-install them. I can't back them up or anything else.

Okay. Did you make a backup of UD 2.0 before flashing back?

The only thing that I can think of to get the apps back short of running a recovery program on the SD card from a PC is to restore that backup, but since everything was stored on the SD card I don't know as it'll help.
Looks like this is the opportunity for me to get rid of apps I don't use much. 
I installed one from the market (Cardio Trainer) and when it installed, it still had all of my data. Just so long as I don't lose data, I'll just go through the market and grab the ones I need and clean up the rest. Thanks for your help...and such FAST responses!!
