The reason for applying fertiliser is to improve soil fertility and feed plants so, if the plants are not growing the cannot take up the feed and it is wasted. Only feed plants when they are growing strongly.
It's never too late to get off that couch and make a phone call!
No, fertilizer should almost always be good for grass as long as you don't apply too much. Many times starter fertilizer is actually weaker than regular fertilizer as they don't want to damage the seeds/young sprouts before they take hold.
It is possible you gave it too much water or too much fertilizer. Fertilizer can burn the roots.
You can't apply if you miss the deadline, you will have to wait until next years auditions.
It is best to use fertilizer in spring and early summer as these are the growing periods. You can also put fertilizer down in late autumn for a faster green up in the spring. You don't want to put fertilizer down too early in autumn as it will cause the grass to go into a growth spurt and won't have time to harden off before winter.
If you mean you've recently added too much fertilizer, you can apply LOTS of water to dilute and flush away the excess, if not all of it. If it's been too long, the grass (or whatever) will probably absorb too much and there may be nothing you can do to prevent the plant from suffering or dying. You can also apply lime to raise the pH level, which will likely be lowered by the excessive fertilizer. And it should be a given that you get a soil test done. (I did a simple web search on "soil testing" with my city name and got lots of free local resources for testing.)

too late for 2008, for 2009 - go to Masters.com and ask to apply - you have to send them your ss# in order to get an application.
YES. The wrong type of fertilizer can burn lawn, too. Read and follow manufacturer's directions.
That not enough fertilizer can be taken in is what happens to roots when too much fertilizer is applied.Specifically, more fertilizer can be applied than can be taken in by the roots. It is left present but inaccessible in the soil. It may damage and burn the roots.

Too late, it's already February 2013.
