Cannot connect to Facebook chat

Since February, I haven't been able to connect to Facebook chat via iChat. http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=16739
My username and password are correct, obviously. iChat keeps saying that it "can't verify the identity of chat.facebook.com" (although I didn't activate SSL), as in this picture: http://i54.tinypic.com/34q311y.jpg
Clicking 'Continue' is useless, as the window will show up again.
This happens on my iMac G4 as well as on my MBP C2D.
Am I the only one?

Hi,
I went to Digicert's web page (I searched and got to and went here)
http://www.digicert.com/help/
I then put in chat.facebook.com and it came back they don't have a Certificate.
At this point I would delete the Certificate and then Delete the com.apple.ichat.Jabber.plist and then restart iChat.
Google is Jabber server, hence removing the Jabber .plist
The reason for removing the .plist is something in iChat is probably checking/Calling the Certificate and the .plist is the most likely place.
There is link on the page I linked above that might be more help.

It may also pay to check the Facebook Help pages.
Is there anything with Facebook that requires a SSL Login ? Such as changing your account or Privacy settings ?
Does Chatting on Facebook in web browser mark the page as Secure ? (normally a Padlock shown bottom right of most Browsers)

  • IPad 4 iOS 6.0.1 cannot connect to Facebook

    Hi all,
    I have a strange problem that I'm trying to solve.
    I have an iPad 2 (iOS 5.1.1), iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1) and now an iPad 4 (iOS 6.0.1)
    Using the WiFi network at work the new iPad cannot connect to Facebook properly. The two older devices, on iOS 5.1.1, connect and work without any problem. (please read on, it gets stranger!)
    Some more details:-
    The old iPad and the iPhone can connect to Facebook fine, using either the Facebook app, Fera or Safari or Mercury browsers.
    The new iPad "sort of" connects - I can access settings, user icons in the RHS chat bar update and are correct, but it cannot update the newsfeed, no new posts at all and after 30 seconds or so, a red bar saying "Network unavailable" or similar.
    Fera is the same, settings load and work, user icons work, viewing my home page seems to work, newsfeed - nothing updates.
    Using Safari it seems to load OK, but the "this page is still loading" progress indicator carries on, and on, and on, and on. Using Mercury browser and the same thing happens, plus after a short while Mercury actually tells me that it couldn't load the page. No newsfeed updates at all.
    If I disable WiFi and enable 3G data, it works no problem.
    If I'm using my WiFi connection at home, it works no problem.
    I am the network administrator at work and the WiFi is an unfiltered, unblocked, unfirewalled connection. (it has an external static IP which goes through NAT and then to two WiFi access points and one DMZ PC) The ISP is a business account at Easynet. I'm not aware of any port blocking that they do, and even if it was port blocking further up the network, it should affect all my iDevices, not just one?
    The fact iOS 6.0.1 has problems and iOS 5.1.1 does not suggests to me it's a problem with iOS 6.0.1, but the fact it works fine through 3G and my home WiFi connection suggests it's port blocking at the work connection.
    I suspect either the new integrated Facebook in iOS 6.0.1 is connecting a different way to iOS 5.1.1 Facebook (and ditto for the browsers!) or maybe SSL over port 443 is being used and is different somehow between iOS versions?
    I've checked the iOS logs (using System Status app), nothing of relevance there. I've checked the network connections and nothing out of the ordinary there (but if it tried to connect via a blocked port, it would fail and not be listed in the port list anyway)
    Is there anyway I can log all (successful and unsuccessful) network connections that happen (for everything)? I do have an Apple developer account, is there anything available there I can use to track the problem down? (I've just registered, haven't gotten round to doing anything with it yet so I'm not aware of what's available in there yet)
    I've tried:-
    Deleting and reinstalling the Facebook app (but as the Facebook website also has problems I didn't expect this to do anything, and it didn't)
    Hard reset of the iPad.
    Putting the iPad into DFU recovery mode, letting iTunes completely reinstall 6.0.1 and setting it up as a new iPad. (no restore)
    Nothing has made any difference.
    I've had the iPhone and new iPad next to each other, 3G data disabled, WiFi connected (to the same access point), iPhone works fine, new iPad doesn't.

    Mine has never worked right for more than a couple days, then it just stops.  I don't even try to fix the thirty things that don't work on my junk iPad. 

  • Lumia 928 Won't connect to facebook chat

    For a couple weeks, my Lumia 928 will not connect to Facebook chat regardless of being connected to data or WiFi. Any troubleshooting tips?

    HI,
    Do you have the Develop menu activated in your Safari menu bar? If so, click Develop / User Agent - Safari 5.0.2 Mac or whichever version of Safari you have installed.

    Assistance would be appreciated.

  • In Photos I cannot connect my Facebook account

    hi...i have updated to the latest version of Yosemite, which included a change from iPhoto to Photos. it seems to work okay except for when i try to share pictures from Photos to Facebook.
    it directs me to add my Facebook account on Internet Accounts in System Preferences. I have attempted to add my Facebook account at least a dozen times and failed each time.
    i enter my email and password for Facebook and i get a box asking me to wait for a code to be texted to me to enter instead of my FB password. the code arrives, i enter it in the password box, and i get the same message in red: 'unable to verify account name or password'.
    then i receive messages on Facebook saying that an 'unrecognized' browser is attempting to log in to my account (even though i've 'approved' it as 'recognized' by me multiple times now).
    so i cannot connect with Facebook via my MacBook Pro (only through my iPhone).
    any suggestions?
    thanks.

    PPS. i did look into my log in history on Facebook, and each time i have attempted to connect from System Preferences, it registers in Facebook as a DIFFERENT system each time (even though i'm attempting to connect from the same computer each time). any possible reasons why this is so? thanks!

  • E7-00: Cannot connect to Facebook with Social Apps...

    My setup:
    Nokia E7-00 PR1.1
    SW version: 014.002
    Social Apps 1.3.215
    Dear all,
    with my Nokia E7-00 I cannot connect via the newest version of Social Apps with Facebook. Every time I try to enter my details for my facebook account, the program returns "login or password incorrect" (correct wording in English unknow to me as I use the German version).
    But, my password is correct. I am sure about this because every time I try to login with Social Apps, I receive an email from Facebook saying "someone logged into Facebook via Ovi by Nokia from an unknown device".
    Further interesting issue: If I enter the details for another Facebook account owned by my wife, I can connect without any problem.
    That means to me that my specific account (a pretty old one (5 years)) seems to be not the right one for Nokia's Social App.
    With my Android phone I can use the built-in Facebook app without any problem.
    Any ideas as to what might cause this? Re- and re-re-installing the Social App does not help.
    Thanks for any advice!

    Thanks to the user Wiseorfool, his solution is:
    "12-Jul-2011 03:29 AM
    I found the solution for this problem.
    The application platform should be enabled in the facebook account as Ovi by Nokia is one of them.
    I had it disabled for reducing spams.
    In your Facebook account, Go to
    Account
    Privacy Settings
    Edit your Settings under "Apps and Websites" at lower left corner
    Click Turn on all platform apps.
    Then your facebook will login under Social Networking Client provided by Nokia without "Invalid username or password. Tip. Password is case sensitive."
    I created a new facebook account and it logged in the very first time and i knew it must have been the account security or application platform. The latter was the one. <
    Happy Networking!!!"
    Enjoy it

  • I cannot connect to facebook

    When I click on "connect to facebook"
    Началната страница на Skype е недостъпна
    Началната страница на Skype е недостъпна в момента. Проверете пак по-късно, за да видите своите новини и предупреждения.
    Лесно е да започнете разговор в Skype:
    Изберете контакт и започнете да говорите
    Наберете стационарен или мобилен телефонен номер или изпратете SMS.
    I waited 3-4 days but I can't connect!
    What I am doing  

    You must not have a wifi/internet connection.
    Do other internet dependent apps -mail, Safari - work?

  • Cannot Connect to Facebook from Admin User

    Just recently I am not able to connect to Facebook from my Admin User account, and it's the same for all three browsers.  Something has changed in the config somewhere and I can't find it. I can login as Guest and access my Facebook just fine. I can load Windows via Parallels and access it just fine. 
    I have tried accessing the web via a different Modem and Network and still have the same problem.  I have set the DNS server to 8.8.8.8.  The Firewall is turned off.  I do not have a firewall managers.  I do not have any Parental controls turned on. I have created a seperate user with admin rights and the same problem occurs.  I have flushed the DNS cache from terminal.  I have tried pinging facebook, but it does not return a connection.
    This is a stumper and I'm pulling my hair out.  Any ideas anyone?
