Ipad mini facebook ios 7 problem

Hello!

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?

I had the same issue — I had an old facebook account in the iPad integration settings and kept getting errors re. automatic login. I deleted the Facebook app thinking that would fix it … but it didn’t.


Finally, in Settings / Facebook, I entered the password for the account (which was no longer active) and at that point, I turned OFF all of the integration settings (calendars, contacts, etc). THEN I could delete the account.


Hope that helps

You may have found a solution since your post, but after 2 fruitless hours talking to a helpful but ineffective genius, I managed to fix my issue myself, as follows -


- I restored my iPad as a new device, then deleted the Facebook account.

- I then restored it again, selecting my previous original back up.

- Whilst that was beginning to restore I deleted the Facebook account again.


This seemed to work for me and arguably you could simply try deleting the account during the first restore. However, this is exactly what I did that worked for me, so I thought I'd share it that way. By the way, my problem was also that I couldn't delete the account and my password would not accept either. Anyway, hope it helps you.

just got a ipad 4 used, find that same problem to setting up facebook in setting, try anything and check online for no solution, finally choose to restore from my another ipad mini, and its done, the facebook in setting is fine now, I can post photo directly from camera row now.

I suspect this might because of the previous user have sign in at setting with his contact and mess, the restore to factory not actually clean all this mess, so when I try sign in to access my contacts, it have crash something and it not work.

second possible: when I type email it will auto complete from my short cut setting, I use to tap space so that it leave a space end of the email, then the password is not working and I cannot go back to earlier.

I dun know which possible is true, becos I heard some set up at new iphone 5s or last year when they upgrade ios 6 they also facing same problem.

So theres still no solution for this?? How long has it been?


I agree with someone else's previous post, restoring is absolutely unacceptable!!!!


Apple, for the sake of everyone's SANITY, could you PLEASE test these "upgrades" THOROUGHLY before you release them??


And its been WEEKS since iOS 7 first came out, and theres been two version since then, but you haven't fixed this MAJOR PROBLEM??? Or at the very least acknowledge it?? And maybe tell us somewhere that you recognize the issue, and your working on it? Instead of pretending like your too busy creating "the revolution iphone 32"!!! Do you really think your customers are that stupid? We're not going to buy the latest and greatest phone every other month. Especially if theres problems from the last one that you never fixed. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result=the definition of insanity!! Your insane apple, not us!


Im never buying an apple product again. You don't treat loyal customers like ****. You don't care, I don't care. Helllllo galaxy s4!!

Easy fix. This happens when you have changed your primary Facebook email / login. Ios saves a token so it doesn't use the email to log in. When u get a new device and restore, the token is no longer valid and you can't delete the acct , and it's actually trying the token with the old email.


Solution:


1)!open safari. Log I to FB

2) change ur primary email back to what it used to be

3) verify the email with FB if needed

4) you can now sign into FB in ios settings

5) once u sign in, ios will let u delete the acct from ios

6) go back to Facebook, switch email to preferred email

7) reconfigure in ios ;)
