can't sign in to facebook on my ipad, error message 'enter the Facebook password for "" in Settings.'

I have the same problem but it will not accept my password in the settings for facebook. No matter what I do. For me and others who have this problem there have been offered NO SOLUTIONS from Apple or Facebook programmers. I believe this means there is NO solution and that you have to reformat your entire iPad to its orriginal out of box state and NOT us your backup-restore when upgrading to a new iPad because in that case (which is what I have done) it will migrate the problem. THEY HAVE NO ANSWER. Or is there some genius out there who does?

Problem solved! Thanks!

Ok, so on your ipad (using os7) go to General then click the las option reset , once the new sub-menu opens click on reset networks and also reset privacy, delete and re- install a fresh version of Facebook and that should do it.

Note: because you reset your network connection you need to sign in into your wireless again.

I hope work for you guys

I also have the same problem. All my apps that needs my Facebook access cannot use.

Also having the same problem. And it wouldnt let me close the app. (I finally got around that). Am doing the ios 7.1 update. Will this help?

BIngo! Resetting the settings did not require a reinstall of the app. Thanks!

I have the same problem so I tried the solution which worked for somebody in this thread. It did not work so I tried to Delete Account in the Facebook Ap.

Nothing.

I can access Facebook through Safari but would prefer to use the Ap on the iPad.

Any more bright ideas? Anyone?? Please!!

I'm going nuts with the same problem. New iPad. I can use FB just fine, but even when I'm not using FB, sometimes when I'm trying to purchase from Apps store, or iTunes, I get "enter Facebook password for "" in Settings, get directed to the Facebook settings page, "there was a problem accessing your account" I enter my password, "Error signing in, could not communicate with server". Okay. And then I have to click off my iPad. This problem only exists with my iPad, not my iPhone or Macbook.

Same issue for me, recently I started having issues with apps no longer being able to access my Facebook account. But the iPad Facebook account settings will not accept my password, even though the Facebook app and Safari can access my account fine. The only significant events I recall that have occurred that may have triggered this have been that via my Facebook account I killed off a lot of so called authorised connections and I changed my user name, but still have the same email address and password.

I have tried just about every solution put forward on the net, short of a factory restore, back to new, on my iPad.

I have also; deleted my iCloud account, deleted the Facebook app and account, deleted Safari data.

One would think that after I have deleted my account from the iPad that it would ask for both username/email address and password, but it only asks for password, so the username is still stored somewhere that I am unable to delete.

I also see that no one seems to have been able to get an answer from Apple. So I'm guessing they have absolutely no idea themselves.

I am hesitant to put my username on Facebook back to what it was as Facebook only give you a few chances to change your username, then you are locked.

I have iOS 7.1.1 installed.

I did have a lot of respect for Apple and their devices as they just worked, but they are becoming tarnished by ignoring what seems to be a growing issue.

Same issue here with my iPad. Any new solutions or ways to trouble-shoot this issue?

i Also am having the issue on my ipad Air... This is beyond annoying, I have spent 2 hours now reading through forums trying to figure this out... nothing has worked.... I need a ginger ale...

It is definitely frustrating. But did you use the Settings app and sign into Facebook there? I wasn't sure you got that far when reading the various posts in this thread.

Settings > Facebook (you have to scroll down a ways to find Facebook) > then sign in with your Facebook user name and password.
