Q: iPad 2 iCal and sync with Facebook
I have two iPad 2 devices; a personal and a work device; both running iOS 6.1.3. However I'm trying to understand why I'm getting different conditions in the Calendar app when I try to sync with Facebook.
One of the iPads gives me a Facebook sub-section under "Show Calendars" (first picture).
The other only allows me to subscribe to the relevant calendars once I've imported them (second picture).
The resultant events in my calendar are very different. What is the difference between the Facebook sub-section and simply subscribing to the calendars?
Is there a way for me to create a Facebook sub-section like in the first picture?
iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3

Hi Sydney Jim,
I found this article that might help:

Sync contacts and calendars
iOS can sync your Facebook contacts and calendars with your device. This feature is off by default, but you can enable it in Settings > Facebook after adding your account.
I would suggest comparing how the two are set up under Settings > Facebook.
Cheers!
