Ipad mini facebook ios 7 problem

I have been speaking with someone high up in Apple Support about this problem, as I'm experiencing it, too, on my iPad Air. Ironically, it's not affecting my iPhone 5 running the same OS.

This matter has now gone all the way up to the engineers, and I hope to hear back soon. I will report what I learn.

By any chance, how many of you updated the email address of your Facebook account at some point before you upgraded to ios 7? I have a feeling this might be what we all have in common. My ipad wants the password for my Facebook account, but it's using my old email address I had associated with my Facebook as the username to try to log in.

I use multiple Facebook accounts. I have a personal one I use and another I use to manage clients' accounts.

Regardless, this is a problem that requires a fix. All the techs I talked to at Apple, unbelievably, had never heard of this problem. I think they've heard of it now.

Globs at Apple told me it is a Facebook problem. I didn't buy that. Went and traded my new ipad mini for a new one. Same crap. I was able, until today to at least go on fb and look and post. Couldn't share anything from photos or YouTube without getting the message that says I need to sign in the settings, then it says unable to connect to server. Apple must be using the same crew as Obunghole for bummer are website. Shoulda bought a notebook. Seems Microsoft has their crap together while Apple is sucking.

The fix that worked for me:

1. Delete the FB App from your iPad.

2. Go to settings>privacy>facebook. Turn the setting off (slide button left until it turns gray).

3. While still in privacy, check photo, contacts, etc. settings. If FB is requesting data, turn it off.

4. Reinstall FB App. When you turn it on you should see the user name and password prompt. Enter the correct information and you should be good to go.

This one may help:

Settings / Privacy : uncheck Facebook in order to deny Facebook App to have contact to your Facebook account.

Now you can log in to your FB account via App as usual.

Not necessary to reset iPad (tested on ipa3)

Yes, this works if all you want to do is log in at FB via the FB App. But it still doesn't solve the problem with the FB settings in iOS 7. For example, when switching that privacy setting on again, right away a pop-up message appears asking me for the FB password to the "" account... This happens even while logged in to FB!

How long are Apple and/or FB letting this weirdness continue?

After upgrading to Ios 7 i downloaded the facebook app to my ipad mini. Once i logged into it, it asked me to log in the facebook from settings in my ipad. I found facebook tab in settings and entered everything but now it tells that the password was wrong. When i'm trying to type the password, it tells me: "error signing in. Could not communicate with the server", and that's it! I tried to delete my account from that settings tab but it doesn't do anything. Even deleting app or rebooting the device still leaves that facebook tab the same: i cannot enter the password and cannot delete an account. Meanwhile each time i start facebook app - it asks me to log in from settings, but i cannot!

What can solve this issue? Because i cannot do anything with that facebook tab - neither enter the password, nor even delete account data from it.

Sorry for long question.

P.S. Anyone know if it is possible to write somewhere about bugs or lags i found in ios7?

Hi, go to SETTINGS and the PRIVACY (that symbol with the hand) and switch off "allow facebook app to connect to facebook account"

Than you will be promptet by your fb app to log in again.

To be honest, I am not sure about the correct english wording - since I am operating the German version.

Took some time to find that solution - but finally it had worked out on my ipad device

good luck - short response is appreciated

I called apple support after purchasing ipad mini new and fb app would not work. They blamed fb. I didn't believe it. Went back to best buy and traded ipad mini for another in hopes it was the iPads fault. I have done resets too. Still don't work.

BETTER SOLUTION: This happened to me. Heres what I did so I could use my recovery.

1: Settings> General> Reset> Reset all content and settings (dont worry, as long as you have an iCloud backup you're safe)

2: Once restored to factory settings and you see the "hello" welcome screen, go ahead and do a "restore from icloud".

3: When you finally make it to your desktop, while all the apps are downloading, DELETE facebook before it installs.

4: Settings> Facebook> Delete account (FINALLY YOU CAN DELETE IT)

5: Go back to enjoying your apple device and pretend this never happened

Same problem and no way to access old email address. Wanted to tranfer backup of my old iPad to new iPad mini. What helped for me was removing everything FB related from my old iPad (app, settings-facebook, settings-privacy etc), then making an iCloud backup of my old iPad, then restoring this backup to my new iPad mini.

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO REASONABLE SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. I have spoken with 2 knowledgeable senior customer service persons at AppleCare, and have been told by both that this problem is currently sitting with the engineers, who are trying to figure it out. This is a software problem.

Chalk it up to another disappointment with iOS 7. That's what I'm doing. I'm not going to wipe my tablet then restore it etc., etc., to get into Facebook. It helps that I hardly use Facebook at all, so I'm not incredibly bothered.

Lastly, I really resent those of you who keep chiming in with your 3-sentence fixes. They don't work

There are actually multiple solutions. The "senior customer service reps" are not aware but people reading these threads are. My solution was the most practical and you lose nothing.

Keep in mind: apple geniuses are not actual geniuses and that goes ditto for the seniors. There is a lot to read on this thread but the solution is available

This link worked for me too. http://www.howtoapple.com/facebook-login-issues-ios-7/

If you do not see the "Facebook" option in the privacy tab under "Settings - Privacy - Facebook - Facebook" then you have most likely deleted the Facebook App from your iPad. I deleted it and then didn't see this tab. I reinstalled Facebook from the iPad and then followed the instructions on the link above. I used the second solution and it worked perfectly!

Good luck.
