Login error

Same here looks like we r stuck until the next update.

Here's what happened to me... Did this happen to anyone else?

Everything was fine through 2/15/13 update, until I finished building Wiggums House. After I selected Wiggums to drop it into place, a side task appeared to collect tax on my buildings. I think it was 20 homes that I had to tap. After I completed that task the pop up announced I had just completed "The Tax Man Cometh" and to collect my reward. After I tapped the "Continue" button the screen froze and the "harp sound" started. It froze for about a minute so I closed the game completely on my iPad2. When I opened the game again a prompt read that I had not completely closed the game on my other device and did I want to continue because some of my progress would be lost. I selected "continue" and the game appeared to start loading but never opened past the "Tapped Out" screen (the donut stopped turning). Meanwhile, the annoying harp sound started again.

I tried opening the game from my husband's iPod touch 4 (he can access the game without any problems), but I get the same result...it sticks on the Tapped Out screen, the donut stops turning and the harp sound starts.

I have the latest iOS. I have completely deleted the game from my iPad, turned off & restarted my iPad, then re-installed the game. When I start the game it again says I had not completely closed the game so I select continue and it hangs up on the Tapped Out screen with the annoying harp sound and frozen donut.

I have completely deleted and reinstalled about 4 or 5 times, but have the same result.

I even had my husband log into his Springfield on my iPad. It works for him, but when I try to log on it does the same thing.

Ugh! Please fix the bugs!!! I have spent real cash on Premium items and it's super annoying.

Same here, after complete the task "This Little Wiggy Pt. 1" the app crashed and is frozen after tapping the username :/

This is happening to many people and no one can figure out a way to alert EA. Their customer service on all sides just leads to these forms which no one important appears to monitor.

Yes, is the same error. I dont foind any troubleshoot in EA site. Yesterday I posted a message in EA site, now waiting... :cry:

Stuck at loading screen without the harp sound though. Been that way since midnight.

I sent a message to EA yesterday, but haven't heard back yet.

It appears many players are having the same problem. Check out the EA Answer HQ page:

HELP!!! Same problem here and I have tried all the resolves but stil not working and this harp sound is very annoying!!!! :(

This worked for me:

Set device Auto-Lock to never (Settings; General ; Auto-Lock; Never)
Start game and let it sit (the Looping Harp Sound) the game should start in about 15 minutes and then it will give you a “Bonus Level Up” screen. Pick a box and it will give you 1, 2 or 3 donuts. (DO NOT SPEND MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER CHANCE!) Collect your prize and it will give you the “Bonus Level Up” screen again. I was able to repeat this method numerous times before the game restarted.

I received a total of 984 donuts

Once it restarted, I was able to continue the game normally. (and spend all those donuts)

I tested the solution, and it is worked. Tks.
