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
Here's a step by step tutorial with pictures: http://ipadnerds.com/facebook-error-signing-in-fix/
The same problem !!
Hi guys,
Follow the steps provided in this link

Fix number 2 needs to be performed as well otherwise it won't work.
as you may see above from myself and others, this does NOT work. For Step 2 many of us, under PRIVACY, then Facebook shows NOTHING! there are no applications associated with your Facebook account. it is blank. proceed to Step 3, does NOT work 😠
There is no disable button under that, it is completely blank!!!
Ok this is the step by step I followed and it worked.
The link provided in previous post shows some pictures that i thought might be helpful, but here is the step by step I used to resolve the problem.
1. On ipad Go to Settings > Privacy > Facebook
2. Disable Facebook (its a toggle button)
3. Log into your Facebook on your computer and click on the gears icon
4. Go to Settings > Security > Recognized Devices
5. Click the ‘Edit’ button and ‘Remove’ the Facebook for iPad
6. On the iPad, go to Settings > General > Reset
7. Press ‘Reset Location & Privacy’ and confirm
8. Open Facebook through the app on iPad
Ok...deleted recognized devices. Didn't work. Removed app from iPad. Didn't work. Tried both at the same time, didnt' work. Reset whole ipad. Didn't work. Tried resetting location and privacey. Didn't work. Any suggestions? Besides buying a new device? At any time, Apple can help. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok these steps worked on my iphone 5s, question - when an app asks for my location should I choose "do not allow?" I would still like to have my location on there, but do not want to interfere with facebook working, which shouldn't effect it to begin with, but obviously did
I'm totally frustrated - the suggestions for a fix are for the ipad (which is working fine) and don't seem to apply to my iphone - is this problem unique to the 5s or all iphones. Regardless... help!

This is exactly what I did and it just worked for me:
1. Deleted and Reinstalled FB app.
2. Settings>general>reset>reset location & privacy
3. Logged in thru Facebook app
4. Success!
Hope it works out for yall!
None of these suggestions worked for me. I tried everything even resetting the computer I even tried reloading my profile and they still didn't work. The biggest problem was it wouldn't let me delete my Facebook account and it wouldn't let me create a new one under the settings. So I reset my whole iPad back to its original default settings yes I had to reload everything but I didn't store much on my iPad. It gave me time to clean it up anyway and now I'm just reloading apps that I know I use now. This was such a pain but in the end I now can post to Facebook from my photos and I can use apps like Pixable again.
SBECKER31 Your solution was the only one that WORKED!
was just fixed now it is working !

Try this:
From a browser: – facebook – settings – security: remove your Ipad from any entry in this section
On your Ipad: settings – general – reset – reset location and Privacy
my facebook setting keeps saying "Error Signing In" "could not communicate with the server." How do I fix this?
