Dude if Samsung had the connects that iTunes has now and little more user friendly OS. FUCK APPLE. I am not an Apple yes man and between the eventual failure of their "Dick Tracy" iWatch and the possible WHY IN THE FUCK DO I NEED THIS iTV I could be switching. I just need Samsung to rival iTunes. In Eleanor, WV..... No they think an apple product is a fruit. I use to have a I phone 4g but sold it and went samsung.

Patience is key, like others have said you need a newer device, like the iPhone 5 or iPad 4. I'm using an iPod 4th gen and I couldn't get in by leaving the game for like 20 minutes. When I tried this on my sisters iPhone 5 It worked. Did it with my friends and it worked also... And I got over 800 donuts!

Yup it looks like the fix is having a newer device (iPhone 5 or 4th gen ipad) turning off auto lock and letting it sit on the frozen load screen until you get in.
I'm curious to know, has anyone recovered from the harpies without the above step? As in the login just eventually worked normally?

The only worry I have about EA taking a retroactive step to "fix" all our doughnut numbers after these glitches is that they don't remove ones that have been legitimately earned.
They can work out from their transaction logs who has bought some from them, but can they do the some for ones earned through game play and seasonal gifts?

That sucks. I saw a couple people post about it on EA. They mentioned a fix, but mentioned the backgrounder thing. Not sure if that's a jailbreak thing or an app or what. Backgrounder is a sort of jailbreak I think. If you have that you can reset the date of your phone, and go further in your game, so you gain days, or donuts or money

Now I'm trying to convince myself it isn't worth it to jailbreak my iPhone just to get back into TSTO...

Day 5 - sigh - and still can't get into the game. I don't even know anyone with an iPhone 5, so I guess I'm screwed. Who knew my little old 4S would just not be enough to run a free Simpsons game?

Ok. Now I'm getting more than a little irritated. Many of us have been directed to the EA Answer HQ to log the problems we are having. I have posted there several times (There are multiple threads about this issue), but nobody from EA has said Boo about this problem. There is one thread that is 60 pages long and another that is 30+ pages (many more that only have a couple of pages). Nothing from EA. So I started a new thread asking if anyone from EA is reading their own board. I got an immediate reply from a moderator that said that she had replied in several threads and that they are working on the problem. I looked at her posts and she has not even commented on TSTO since the 16th (and none of her recent posts were about the Harp of Death). Then I came back to see that my thread had been deleted and my comments merged into the 60 page thread to be buried. I guess on the bright side, someone finally acknowledged that they are doing something.

I really don't think the device has anything to do with it. I let the harps play on an iPhone 4, iPad 2, and the new iPad for hours yesterday. Still locked out. Some people have had good results soon after tweeting @ksegerstrale. He responded to me & apologized. I still can't get in yet, but it feels good to have someone at EA acknowledge it at least. I feel bad that this one guy is getting the brunt of the customer complaints (I'm not even sure he's directly involved with this game), but he's the only one who seems to respond. So if you do tweet him, try to be nice.

Just did it for another board member and it crapped out right about under an hour. Almost doubled their donut count. Hoping they can get in the game now under non iphone5 device.

Damn, I wish I knew someone with an iphone 5! All of my friends and family members have iphones, but only 4s ones like me. My brother has an ipad but only 2nd gen. Have anyone had any luck with the new update they released?
