Frequently Asked Question Posted 10/27/2026

After restoring my iPad, MovieSlate crashes every time I tap Settings, so I can't get to Restore Purchases for my Script Dept subscription. How do I get running again without deleting the app?

MovieSlate remembers which Settings page you last had open. If that was Script Dept, and MovieSlate doesn't yet recognize your Script Dept subscription after an iPad restore, that page is hidden from the Settings list. MovieSlate then tries to scroll to the missing page and crashes, every time Settings opens. Your project data is not affected.
A fix is in testing for an upcoming MovieSlate update. Until then, use this workaround:

  1. Tap the Help tab, then open What's New.
  2. Tap the Script Dept purchase link on that page. MovieSlate opens Settings on the Store page instead of the Script Dept page, so it does not crash.
  3. On the Store page, tap Restore Purchases.

After that, Settings should open normally.
Please don't delete the app to fix this, since deleting can remove your project data. While you're in Settings, make a backup: go to MovieSlate Cloud and back up to MSCloud, or back up locally to your device. If you back up locally, save to the Files app's Downloads or another folder, but NOT the MovieSlate folder, because that folder is deleted if you ever delete and reinstall the app.
If Settings still crashes after tapping that link, contact PureBlend support before deleting anything.
