while trying to share with FB

I was trying to share a picture to my Face Book. When I received the drop down menu I selected FB & then it said no FB was assigned. When I provided info, it said account already exists however won't allow me to share. What am I missing?

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

Hi Sub622,

Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.

It seems like you can't share a picture to Facebook and you see alert messages relating to the account. I wouldn't say you're missing something because it looks like the feature isn't working as expected.

Do you see your Facebook account in the left-hand column of the Internet Accounts preferences? To find the preferences, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Internet Accounts (per OS X El Capitan: Add your Twitter, Facebook, and other Internet Accounts.)

If you do see the Facebook account, try removing and re-adding the account:

  1. Click to highlight your Facebook account in the left-hand column.
  2. Click the minus sign to remove the account.
  3. Click the "facebook" logo in the right-hand column.
  4. Type your Facebook username and password.
  5. Once the account is added to Internet Accounts, try sharing a picture again.

Let us know if these steps helped or if you didn't see Facebook in the Internet Accounts preferences on your Mac. Additionally--what application were you sharing from?

Cheers.
