Keep getting asked to put in Facebook password, can't delete the account in the settings.

Hi Rick 58,

I should have said that I used to have an IPad3 and now have an IPad Air - both of these have the radio buttons. Having not got an IPad2 I cannot comment on this. I did say that this may work for some not others....

Your solution is really useful for older models then and so thanks for sharing your tip. I will let others know too.

Thanks again!!

Actually, I think this part of the Settings is the same for all these models, after one chooses 'Facebook' or 'Twitter', there seems to be a radio button for Facebook or Twitter in the following panel. BUT not always, as I have just found.

On my iPad mini and iPhone4, there are radio buttons for Facebook but NOT Twitter. On my wife's iPad2 (now) there's currently none, since they were reset. Previously, there was one in the Twitter section, but none in the Facebook section. On my wife's iPhone5, there are several buttons (for games) including FB, but none for Twitter. (I'll have to switch those !@#$%!! game buttons OFF ...! That probably what allows the games to spam everyone.)

So ... I had been thinking that not having a radio button for Facebook was an indication or 'symptom' of the problem, now I don't believe that's the case. It's just whether the app has requested access to one's FB account.

But maybe it is an indication in this case ... maybe Facebook requests access to itself, but (in the glitchy FB app) it is not granted. So that kicks off the endless loop that folks see ... ??? Total speculation, but WTH.

I get what you are saying....yeah I agree with your theory as it would explain the cyclical issue. I really think Apple need to sort this out as it is ridiculously stupid that other users are still experienced problems...

I live in London and luckily we have some really great Apple staff in stores and I will go in and ask one of them. I will show the, your summation and let you know what they say.

Thanks very much for your comments, they are much appreciated!!!

this is what I did and it's fixed. Thank you very much 🙂

None of the above solutions did the trick for me. What about a fix, Apple?!

I cannot delete Facebook I know longer have access to the email or password for the email or Facebook account because I was hacked and cannot delete Facebook off my iPad. And every other suggestion does not work

Didn't work for me.

No joy. My stored e-mail address is apparently the empty string as I keep getting prompted to input the password for "". No way to delete the account. Apple needs to fix this. Very poor planning and customer service. Anyone know of a work around/fix. It is unacceptable that Apple is taking so long to fix this critical issue.

As many people have stated before, that does not fix the problem.

All you need to do is go to settings > Facebook put in the password of the deactivated account the click your name, click delete, remove Facebook info and ta da!!!! It doesn't reactivate your account.

Well, as many people have stated (including me) it works for some people. Sorry it didn't work for you.

Its not a deactivated account, its a non-existent account. There is no way to delete the bad account. Clicking delete account does nothing.

Apple please answer or fix that problem my account got deleted by facebook and theres no way for me to enter that facebook account and the button of delet account thise nit work fix this asap

Same problem. Apple support where are you. My Facebook account was tied to an internet provider email address. We changed providers. I switched my Facebook email address and password. Now I cannot delete my Facebook account on my iPad using my old or new password (and yes I am using the return key).
