Thanks for the suggestions.

I connected my iPhone to my iMac. Opened up iTunes and if I remember correctly, updated my iPhone.

Then ran the AppStore from my phone and was able to download the Facebook app after resetting my password like I just did on my iMac.

Not sure how things got out of sync with both machines. Guess changes to my Apple ID on a couple occasions got FUBARed.

Some things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.


Try a restart.


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch         


Try a forced restart.


Reset Device.      


If necessary


Hard reset.        


Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.


Restore to Factory setting.      


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
