Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

my facebook setting keeps saying "Error Signing In" "could not communicate with the server." How do I fix this?

I have been trying to fix my facebook setting but I keep getting an error message after inputting my password. "could not communicate with the server" keeps popping up. [DELETE ACCOUNT] doesn't work either. It doesn't delete my facebook account at all. What else can I do?

iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.1.1, facebook

Pierce.nicholas depicts the problem to a T.


I'm guessing some people are on iOS 6 and some on 7? I am on 7 and have same issue as described by Pierce.nicholas.


In my case, brand new iPad. Not changed my Facebook log in details, guessing I mistyped my username when I logged in for the first time.


The most infuriating part of this bug is that the 'delete account' button does nothing... If that worked it would be a simple case of deleting it and adding it again.


Apple, sort it out please!!! Can't imagine this is a difficult bug to solve. Not being able to use the Facebook integration is a pretty major flaw.

1) i logged out of facebook BOTH on my iphone and on my computer


2) iphone settings --> facebook --> delete account


3) iphone settings --> facebook --> enter email (not phone number) and password


4) I no longer get the error message "cannot communicate with the server" in the iphone settings --> facebook screen


5) logged back into the facebook app

my facebook setting keeps saying "Error Signing In" "could not communicate with the server." How do I fix this?
