After using it successfully for over a year, suddenly my Scrabble app (purchased, not free) won't load on my iPad. I was even willing to buy it again from iTunes, but when I tried, it turned out I could update it for free (that was nice). The app icon is on my iPad, but still it won't load. When I touch it, the screen begins with the dark scrabble screen but then reverts to the regular screen rather than loading the scrabble game. Any solutions?
Hi susanmarcia,
Have you tried restarting your iPad? Hold down the Home button and the Sleep button at the same time and continue to hold them until the silver Apple appears (ignore the red slider). Once the iPad restarts, try to load your Scrabble app again. If it still does not load, let us know!

OK, here's what I would suggest. Delete the App from your iPad and from iTunes on your computer, and then sync your iPad to iTunes on your computer without the app. Then redownload the app in iTunes, and then re-sync your iPad to get the app downloaded via the sync.
Totally clean start?
Or have you already gone that route as well? Let me know - we can continue to explore options....🙂

Hey, all.... this just happened to me (April 2013), and Gail's solution of deleting from both computer and ipad, then reloading and syncing STILL WORKS! thanks for the solution!

Touch and hold an App icon. It will begin to shake and a "-” will appear in the upper left corner. Touch the "-" and the App is deleted.
Yessss!!!! It's back! Now I can feed my addiction once more! Thank you so, so much!
Yes, I tried that several times. I also thought that I might not have space left, so I reset the iPad to get rid of all but my necessary apps. I have been working on this situation for the past three nights--each time I get a new idea, I try it to no avail. Any other ideas?
Hi chris,
Thanks for posting back with your results! Always good to hear that someone has taken advantage of earlier posts to find an answer to their questions, and to then hear that they were successful!
YAY!!!

I bought my Hasbro Scrabble App for my iPad last year. It has not loaded periodically, but I've always managed to resolved it by shutting down and turning it back on. I think I went through "Origin" ???
Anyway, I tried loading it today (I had about 10 games going) and it gives me the message: Network Error: There seems to be a problem connecting to Facebook. You may experience reduced functionality as a result (continue)..... I press continue and nothing happens. I think I got this sort of message before and it has resolved on its own. Now it doesn't seem to be doing anything!!!
I tried shutting my iPad off and back on and usually that works, but I'm getting the same thing. Have I lost all my scrabble games? Nothing wrong with my connecting with internet! And how can "origin" help
Thanks!
I've been trying to get the scrabble app off my computer to reload.
I did it once before so that it was shaking but now I don't rememberhow.
I got it to the task bar and pressed on it but nothing happened.
How to I get it off?????
I just figured out how to get scrabble app off computer. Now I will try to reload from iTunes. Stay tuned!
That's not what I did, but it is very handy to know! Thank you.
Fingers crossed!!!

Yay!!!! Yippie Skippie!!!
Glad to hear it!

Gail, thanks for clarifying Jim's instructions, too. And Jim, thanks for joining in 🙂
Not to nitpick....but for deleting, it has an "x" in the upper left-hand corner of the icon. The "-" shows when you double click the Home button, and then hold your finger on one of the open apps in the bottom bar. By pressing the "-" on any of them, you can close them. (I know you know that Jim - this was for susanmarcia's benefit)....
