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

If you have the iphone 5c, don't download Facebook through the app store. So delete the one you downloaded through app store, once you have deleted it, go back to settings, and you'll notice Facebook is still there. Well apparently, Apple has Facebook already set up on your phone, you actually have to set it up in settings. Go figure, right? So the problem is the Facebook in app store is incompatible with the 5c, and probably the 5s if I had to guess. I did this, and I no longer get prompted with that silliness. Hope it works for you all.

My facebook app works good, but sometimes a tab pops up telling me to go settings. When I click to go setting, it says that i have to enter my facebook password. Then it says 'could not communicate with the server". It's been happening for ages. I wanted to share a video via youtube on facebook and it told me there was an error and hat I have to go to settings again.

I have an Ipad Air and I've got it in Christmas. Please help cause it's annoying!

Wow- i have this same problem- and have already invested TOO much time going over the various methods of fixing- with no luck.

Im using an ipad air on ios 7.1.2. the Facebook app works fine but there is no connective use with other ipad functions - I always get the 'there was a problem accessing your account please re-enter the password for.... '

I cannot delete the account and there is no switch in privacy to use.

I get the 'Error signing in - could not communicate with the server' message too.


Really seems incredible that there could still be this problem affecting so many - not what I expected using the latest ipad with the latest ios and latest updates.

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