Facebook and Twitter integration not working

I'm have trouble using Facebook and Twitter integration in Mountain Lion. When I click 'Click to Tweet', or 'Click to Post', nothing happens; I don't get the notecard looking thig, and it's like I never clicked the button. Same thing with sharing from an app, except for Twitter. I receive notifications from both just fine, but I'm unable to post. I can tweet something from the sharing menu (link to a webpage with Safari, for example), but I cannot send a tweet using the 'Click to Tweet' button in Notification Center. Also, I cannot post to Facebook by neither sharing nor the 'Click to Post' button. So far I have tried sharing with Safari, Finder, and Preview, all with the same results. (Facebook sharing with iPhoto does work, but I don't believe that is integrated with OS X.)

I have also tried the following, with no luck:

  • Checked my settings on the Facebook and Twitter sites.
  • Removed my acounts and re-added them.
  • Obviously, my internet connection is working.
  • Added my Facebook account to the 'Guest User' account, and another administrator account.
  • Had a friend add his Facebook account to his own (limited) account on my computer--he could not post to Facebook either.

I believe the last two things I tried indicate that this is a system-wide problem. A couple more things to note: 1) there is no kind of error message; it just sits there, like nothing happend, no 'spinning wheel' or anything. 2) It DID work before. Twitter worked when I first upgraded to Mountain Lion, and Facebook worked when I installed the 10.8.2 update. I don't use either often enough to know when exactly they stopped.


Here is a video illistrating my problem.


It's been driving myself crazy with this over the past few days, and can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I also seem to be the only one with this problem.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Don't bother.... I have the same issue, reported it, and Apple had its representative liaised with me... After weeks of troubleshooting, diagnostics and screenshot submissions, they can only advise me to wait for the next update which most likely will be 10.8.3...

Ok I have pretty much the same issue, but the only thing that doesn't work is the Click to Post and Click to Tweet buttons. The "Share" button works just as it should. And one more thing... I'm running OS X 10.8.4. I don't think the supplement update thing you mentioned will work on my OSX version. I made a thread about my issue which explains the problem in detail. If you can help me, I would really appreciate you looking at the thread I posted 🙂

Wow, I don't know if I'm in a class of my own, but congratulations if I am!!!

I use an iMac OS X Yosemite v. 10.10.5 and am also trying to get my FB posts to link to Twitter. I've been advised by many virtual assistants to use this link.

but it doesn't work.


I've called Apple Support and they don't know the answers and Facebook doesn't have phone support any longer.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lisafromthefingerlakes...:)
