Can't choose my old smurf village?

I used to play the game on my first genration ipad, stop for a while, now i downloaded it on my iphone 4s but when i try to play, it asks me to choose between a new village or the one saved in my game center.
since i'd rather not lose my progress i'm trying to open the old one but it gives me an error message that i have to uodate my app.
the app is up to date on both devices though and i still can't play. Do i need to start over?

No i can't choose you old smorf villaga.

  • Why does Reporter Smurf say my iPhone time is wrong? I just got the smurfs update and now Reporter Smurf is in my village. But when I click on him, his says "either your device time is incorrect or you don't have Internet connection." My time was auto set by my iPhone 4s and I have Internet connection. What should I do?
  • Where do photos taken in Smurfs' Village get saved? I took a bunch of photos of my village with the in-game camera, but I have no idea where the photos are saved. They're not in my iPhone's regular photo album, and I can't find an in-game photo album. Where might these photos be?

  • Name of iPhone village simulation game? I remember playing this game where you had an old timey village to take care of. The most important thing I remember is that you had to have your villagers mine stone, chop wood, and collect hay, and then, collect those supplies.
