This just came in from Matt as a possible harp fix using the iPhone 4S:
“Plug your phone in to your computer and open your iTunes account. Wait for your updates to finish and then open the tapped out app on your phone. Mine worked right away. It took a few tries for my buddy but it worked for him too.”
So this may be in addition to the iPhone 5 fix (leave the autolock off, log in, and let the harp play out for 15-20 minutes.
If you have a 4S, give it a try and let us know here if it works for you. It’s certainly worth a try.
I dont know if my 1 post this morning work but cheers mate you do a great job Thank

Hi Martin – this was a difficult one, but I think it’s fixed now. Please check and let me know
Oh thank you very much.
Just tried to do this test as I have a iPhone 4S. Still nothing. 3 days now without playing the game. I feel like I’m going thru withdrawal. lol I hope EA will come up with a fix.
I’m beginning to think that the fix may have been coincidental. If you need some help, Steven, let me know.

Hi Steve – it seems to be working now. Please check and let me know
Seems to be working. Well done
Does not work with iphone 4 nor ipad4 ;(
That’s what I’d heard – if you’d like some help, send your details brought here and I’ll see what I can do.
I am trying for three hours now. Thats a bad day so far. ;-(
How much time would you need, because i would need to stop trying.
I wouldn’t be able to start for several hours – there are about 20 people ahead of you in the queue.
Still not working although been constantly trying. been playing for months and now this happened ;-(
I should be able to start in about 3 hours from now ..,
Mine stopped working yesterday after finishing a random Moe ‘water down beer task’ the game app crashed and I got the harp trying to log back in. My username is ***** and password is *****. Thank you if you have the time, I know you’re busy. Hopefully my password and info won’t show up to the public. Really appreciate all your twitter posts as well!
Hi Jeff – I’d love to try, but the details you sent me don’t seem to be correct. I need the login email and password. As soon as i get them, you’ll be at the top of the queue.

Hi Jeff – I think it’s fixed. Please check and let me know.
Thank you so much kind sir! I had tried everything on this and the EA Forums and nothing worked bit whatever you did fixed it and it also seems to be running faster (was having slow quick freezing problems). Not to mention I might have miss counted but now have more donuts
Thank you thank you! Love this site!
Never mind, I reinstalled the game and waited a long time, then I was back, 646 donuts reacher…
That’s really good to hear
Hey!
I’m wondering if you can help me out as well. My user name is ****** and the password is ****** without quotations of course. Successful or otherwise, I would like to thank you for your service.
John
Hi John – sorry, but looking at the welcome message, it’s one of those I’m reluctant to try. It talks about a “level 1″ Springfield, so I’m not going to log in because I would hate to be responsible for anyone losing their game. Can I suggest you see if you can get access to an iPhone 5 to try the fix yourself. Really sorry.
Actually, I tried today and its now working. Thanks
Hi. Can you help me as well? Mine did sort itself out, but it took 10 days. Now that I have had enough XP to get free donuts again, it has happened again.

Hi Robert – I think it’s fixed now, but please check and let me know. This one was me and not EA – you were the harp I mentioned on my new post!
All working now. Thank you for sorting that out
No problem. I appreciate your help but will keep trying for now. Thanks
Hi there! I noticed you have been helping so many addicted simpson game lovers
was hoping you could help my harp of death issues? Started on Saturday march 9th.

Would appreciate the help. Totally understand there is a long line up
Hi – I think EA finally fixed the harp glitch, so if you can play the game (and I could get in so you should be able to), I don’t think it’s one I can take credit for. Let me know, though!

Now it’s working. Thanks a lot!!! I hope the harp never returns. I’m wondering what causes the harp thing… Do you have any information? Maybe I can avoid it in the future.

Hi – I think EA might have finally fixed your game!
Yes I logged in!! I thought you had fixed it but thanks anyway!!
If it’s any help I just got the Harp on my iPad 2 (at first I thought yeah, free donuts!), but unfortunately all the tips of leaving it alone on the screen for 20 mins didn’t work. It just keeps exiting after 20 mins back to the home screen.
Hi Fran – I can help if you don’t have access to an iPhone 5. Send me your details through here and I can try and fix it – you’ll need to be patient, though as the queue is very, very long

Thanks a million, finally working again!!!
Hey man. I’m having a lot of trouble and it’s frustrating because I really want to play :’(…any advice or anything….like I can probably wait until the update…do u have any idea if it will be fixed come the update or will I be screwed after that comes???
Hi Kevin – If level 27 comes it may be fixed for a while. If you like, you can send your details through here and I can see what I can do – you’ll need to be patient, though – there’s a very long queue.
I think I’ll wait…try anyways lol…my buddy is coming over and I’m gonna try with his iPhone five…ill get back to u though if it doesn’t work
Okay and did u get my login information ?
Yes I did
How long is the wait if u don’t mind me asking ?
It’s about 48 hours….
I’ve been locked out of the game for over a week – I’m playing on a 3GS & the game crashes after 10 min of letting the harp play – any ideas as for what to do??
You can send me your login details and I can see what I can do, Amy – anything sensitive gets edited out in comment moderation and until then only you and I can see it.
There’s a long queue, though, so you’ll need to be patient.
Why is my password and login name up so everyone can see it how can I change this ?
Hi Erick – it’s still in moderation. Only you and I can see it. I will edit anything sensitive out before I release it.
I hope you can help me! My username is ****** and password is ****** would really appreciate it!!!!
Hi – I think EA might have finally fixed your game!
Hi, I was wondering if you received my login details? Many thanks Paul
Yes I did Paul – you’re getting nearer the top of the queue
Thanks very much. I’m back in the game! Brilliant!!
Thanks very much. I really appreciate it.
Thanks so much for that!
Oh I am suddenly back in, I think it worked after all!
That’s great Jasna! The server screen is another way the harp fools you. If you believe it and don’t hit “try again”, you have to start all over again. Hitting it 3 or 4 times seems to get things synchronized so that you can get in.

Have had the problem for about a week now and could definitely use some help! Thank you! I have an iPhone 4. Login is ****** password is ****** would love to have my game back up and running! Thanks for all the help that has been provided for everyone so far!
Hi Steven – it seems to be working now.
Hi TSTO, I have an iPhone 4S , and I have obtained the ‘harp of death’. I do not have a computer at the moment, but have been taking your advice and trying to let the harp sound happen for 20 minute intervals, so far, nada. Should I keep trying?
Hi – apparently it needs much longer on a 4S – try letting it go for an hour and let me know what happens.
I will try again tomorrow, but after 20 minutes I get booted off the screen and need to try again. I will let you know tomorrow. Thanks
If you get booted to the Bart screen, try hitting “try again” three or four times – this sometimes works to synchronize your game and you may be able to get in on the next login. It’s a trick I learned from trying to kill the most difficult harps.
Ok.
I have done it for at least 6 hours today at my desk, so far nothing.
I rarely get the bart screen, when I do, it freezes. I tried several time.
If you have a moment (no rush)
Can you e-mail me personally, and I will provide you any info to assist me.
I have had a friend help me last night, She can get into her game from her device, but couldn’t from my end.
Thank you.
Hi – I don’t generally do personal emails. You can leave your details here, though, and I’ll edit out anything sensitive in comment moderation. There is an extremely long queue, though.
so can you explian in a little more in detail on the ip4 fix concreaning the computer?
Hi Jim – all I know is what’s in the comment included in the post – so if the original poster can shed a little more light, that would be truly appreciated.
okay thanks, also i’ve tried the waiting for 20 minutes thing that the ip5 does, and it’s day 4 with no luck? any help?
Send your details through here, Jim (everything is hidden in comment moderation) – there’s a very, very long queue though, so it might be a couple of days before I can get to it.
okay my login is ****** password: ******
Hi Jim – I think it’s fixed. Please check and let me know.
did you recive my login and password?
I did – thanks Jim – I’ll let you know when it’s fixed
