Cannot delete Facebook account in iOs Settings

Hello there.
I am using an iPad 3 and I have iOs 7.1.2 (11D257) installed.
In Settings > Facebook I get the following problem:
"There was a problem accessing your account. Please reenter the password for "My Facebook Name is Displayed".
Now I have tried every password for this and I get a 'Username or Password incorrect' message. But what is strange is that Facebook works fine on the iPad app and everywhere else. I have tried changing my password and e-mail address. I even click 'Delete Account' and NOTHING HAPPENS! Nothing is working! Here is a list of everything I've tried:
- Reset Network Settings
- Reset Location & Privacy Settings
- Reset Settings
I then 'Reset All Content & Settings' and set up the iPad as new at the setup assistant. VOILA! The issue was fixed and I could log in with my Facebook credentials.
BUT!
I have a huge iCloud backup, with so many things I do not want to lose, and I do not want a new Apple ID. So I repeated the process, only this time instead of a new iPad install, I erased everything and Restored my iCloud Backup.
After waiting all this time for the restore, I am shocked to see that the issue is still there. It is LOCKED into my iCloud backup. So there is nothing I can do to solve this issue.
Is there a way I can remove everything Facebook related from my iCloud? If there is not, what am I to do? I can't be alone with this problem. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it as Apple have not been forthcoming with this at all.
Thank you in advance!
Kindest regards,
- Tony

I have the same issue and I don't have a place to enter a user name. So how did you change your user name? This problem is only on my iPad it did not follow my iPhone. It happened right after updating to IOS 7.1.1 and now I can't use Facebook for anything on my iPad. I have not changed my login on Facebook. Very frustrated.

Cannot Delete ICloud Account on IoS 7 Upgraded IPhone 5

Hi
I have upgraded my Iphone 5 to IoS 7 and find that my ICloud email address is an old one which I changed from some time ago.
I have tried to delete this account but cannot do so as I being asked for the password for my old email address, which I can't remember.
The problem is that I cannot now set up my Find My IPhone on my newly upgraded phone.
Any ideas how I can delete the old address withouth the password?
My Apple ID and ICloud and Find My IPhone all work fine on my older 4S Iphone and my IPad 2. IoS 7 seems to be the problem. Or is it?
Simple and instant solutions welcome.

Thanks, but I know my current password. The Apple ID website does not help, I'm afraid.
You are referecning the fact that when attempting to connect with your new apple id that you device is asking you for the password to an old Apple id. What you will need to do is to go to my apple id plug in the old apple id and ask it to reset the password to this apple id. Once the password has been reset to the old apple id, you then will be able to provide the password to the old apple id which will result in then being able to provide information required from the old Apple id to then enable your future process.
Good luck.

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

Ever since the recent update I keep getting a pop up asking me to enter my facebook password. I've been told to go into my settings and delete the Facebook account but it won't delete. Facebook says this has nothing to do with them because it's not the Facebook app. I have deleted the app it's self many times. I can't even log into the app because that pop up keeps coming up. So I haven't downloaded it again. And I'm still getting that pop up, even when I'm writing this it's popping up asking me to put in my facebook password.
I need to know how I can delete the account in my settings, because it won't delete when I hit "delete account".

Hi Jess0636,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your Facebook account won't delete from Settings on your iPad, I would recommend trying first to force Settings to close and try again, then a restart, and finally a reset, in that order:
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

How can I delete facebook account in settings when I don't have password and can't retreive it pressing delet without entering password does nothing

How can I delete facebook account in settings when I don't have password and can't reset it as not receiving reset email from facebook pressing delete without password does nothing.

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Delete gmail account from iOS mail

gmail shows up as an inactive account in my ios mail settings. however, gmail still loads into my inbox. I want to eliminate gmail completely and only get icloud mail. I can't find a way to do it.

Since you are in the Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks) forum but are asking about iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc), I'm not sure how to answer. So, here is how to do it in either:
In Mavericks (i.e. on a Mac):
Open "System Preferences" > "Internet Accounts"
Select your Google account in the left sidebar
Click the "-" icon at the bottom left to delete the account
In iOS (i.e. on an iPhone):
Touch "Settings"
Touch "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
Touch your Gmail Account
At the bottom of the screen, touch "Delete Account"
That's it. If you delete accounts per the above instructions then there is simply no way for your Gmail to continue to come in to Apple Mail on Mavericks or iOS. The only way that could happen is if you have set up your Gmail account to forward mail to your iCloud account.
I hope this helps.

Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/{multiple}.settings

Every time I shutdown JSE it shows a couple of ugly messages saying:
"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/classes.settings in C:\Documents and Settings\Joost\.jstudio\Ent8\config"
"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/sources.settings in C:\Documents and Settings\Joost\.jstudio\Ent8\config"
"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/watches.settings in C:\Documents and Settings\Joost\.jstudio\Ent8\config"

"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/threads.settings in C:\Documents and Settings\Joost\.jstudio\Ent8\config"
Assuming that JSE had some problems to access my profile (oh, how I *hate* Windows...) I wanted to change the JSE working directory to C:\Projects\Java Studio Enterprise, but I can't find the place within the Tools|Options where I can set that. Help!
Regards,
Joost

Thanks for the reply. I added the -userdir option, and now it complains:
"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/ComponentPalette.settings" in C:\Projects\Java Studio Enterprise\config"
"Cannot delete file Windows2Local/Components/CollaborationExplorer.settings" in C:\Projects\Java Studio Enterprise\config"
Hmmm, it seems to me that - although the number of error messages has been reduced - JSE is still not very happy about something. It would be nice if it was a bit more precise in its problem description.

" Cannot Delete iCloud Account - There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try deleting your account again"! i can't sign out my icloud account

I want to sign out my icloud account but I can't. When I try sign out, I received notification " Cannot Delete iCloud Account - There was a problem deregistering this iPhone with iCloud. Try deleting your account again"

Backup to computer first and sync Apps to iTunes first!
Restore in recovery mode will work, be persistent and retry
Recovery restore challenges
- computer didn't detect recovery iphone, attempted and failed 3 times
rebooted computer then recovery restore worked
- recovery restore was successful, unlocked, and iMessage/Facetime, Find My Iphone, ALL WORKS!
Restore from backup challenges
* Make sure you have plenty of harddrive space!
- have to restore first then restore from backup, i did this incorrectly by restoring from backup and the find my iphone feature got stuck forcing me to recovery restore
- each restore from backup attempt will copy the original backup and create another backup folder. My original was about 10gb, so it copied another 10gb onto my computer's harddrive
- when i restore from backup, my computer ran out of space and errored out/failed.
- I tried again to restore from backup then figured out where the backup data folder was and tried to transfer to external harddrive but not quick enough and failed again.
- finally cleared the extra backup data files and restore from backup was successfull
Missing apps from restore from backup
- Downloaded all my missing Apps from APP store
- I have 300+ apps and there are only 15 screen scrolls, have to organize before apps will populate and load, very difficult to organize now. Wished I had sync Apps first.
Conclusion
This process took me literally 20+ hours to correct and will probably take me few more hours to organize the apps into their respective folders...
At least I got everything to work. Hope this helps!

Can't log or delete Facebook account from settings in ios 7

Hello yesterday my sister wanted to unblock my mom from Candy crush so she deleted my facebook acount from settings so she can log with her account and use Candy Crush with her own profile. After that i deleted her account and wanted to put my own again, here is where the error started: when i put my mail / password for facebook and hit "return" a message appear "Error signing In , could not communicate with the server", even so i cant enter another email or retype my email or anything since in settings this message appear: "There was a problem accessing your account. Please reenter the password for <my facebook user name> " with the field for password below , also the delete button doesnt work. Every time i put the password the singning in error appear . Now i cant use any app that use facebook features which is really annoying since most online apps use facebook account to log in.
i have tryed:
Deleting the app, which doesnt make sense since i don't need the app to log with facebook to another apps.
How they solved in thie thread : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24292852#24292852
Quit the .settings app and reset the iPad.Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Nothing has worked so far, i hope you guys fix this soon i cant use must of my apps right now :/ at least with facebook .
PD: i can log in trough facebook app but no setting so i can't use my facebook in other apps.

I have found a solution.
You need to use Keychain Access on OS X. In the sidebar select iCloud. You can locate the entry by searching for the part after the @ in the email address of that entry. Right click it. Select "Delete". It will be deleted from that machine as well as any other device synced with iCloud keychain.
I did this in Mavericks, but it should work on Yosemite as well.
As far as I know there is yet no way to do this in iOS.
I filed a radar as well rdar://18835323
Hope this helps.

Cannot delete facebook email account from my iPad settings

I have solved my problem. Please disregard.

Problem deleting Facebook account in settings

I have this curious problem that existed in my iPad 2 which migrated to my new iPad for. For some reason Facebook things that I have an identity established in settings that does not exist where that was old and no longer exists so the password and asked me for can't work I can't believe the account and it is impossible to delete Facebook from my settings in order to put in the proper a new account. The account that is there represented in settings looks like an old account that I had established that one time and deleted from Facebook on my PC but it seems to think that it's still there on my iPad. There's no working password. There is no way to delete it from settings. And now Facebook will not install at all on my new iPad. That seems very very odd to me and I do not understand why Apple and Facebook have not approached this problem with any level of priority or seriousness. They can be real jerks of these companies and I don't understand why they are so apathetic. It is probably because there is no actual solution. I would appreciate it if someone would confirm the fact that there is no solution. Thank you very much.

Thanks guys but no. When I want to share something simple like a photo, I click share and it says "Enter the Facebook password for "[email protected]" in Settings.
I click Settings (other option is Cancel)
It takes me to the facebook Settings module in the Settings area of the iPad
I put in my current password and it says "Error Signing In The user name or password is incorrect."
Then I click Delete Account. A window pops up to confirm the delete. I click Delete to confirm and NOTHING HAPPENS. The account is still there. It does not matter if I uninstall FB or not. I've tried it both ways.
I am a computer consultant. I've never seen a situation where an app requires you to reinstall an opperating system. This appears to be the case. What I am looking for from the community is the ANSWER. While I appreciate your feedback if you don't have a real answer please don't reply. I do not mean any disrespect - seriously. But this is a huge problem and I've read that other people have it - and the only answer is to return your ipad to its original out-of-box state. If you restore a backup it puts Facebook right back in the same unuseable state. Now, that said Facebook is totaly useable within Safari, ore Chrome but installing the Facebook App is impossible.
That's f*cked in my humble opinion. Where's Apple and Facebook support? Nowhere to be found. Dead silence.
