Facebook and messages

Anyone having facebook friends no longer showing up as names but now numbers in Messages on iMac? It is happening on all 3 of my macs. When I sign onto messages, and my facebook account is included in that, the FB online friends list shows up for 30 seconds and then changes everyname into a long multi digit. I have no idea why, it started this past week. Any help?

HI,
It appears to be a Facebook issue.
A person who uses Facebook can enable the "Chat" options that then allows the Facebook Jabber Server to allow their email to be used as their Jabber ID.
You can set up Messages with any Jabber account and add Facebook Buddies to it.
several other threads address this issue.
You should only see the Jabber ID.
If you add the Jabber ID to someone's Address Card in Contacts app or Address Book in other OS version then their "Real Name" should show in the Buddy List.
However it seems the Facebook servers are showing some sort of number as the ID and this is not recognised by the Messages app (or it's link to the Address Card) and you lose any form of useful identification.
It would appear that this number is something to do with the Buddy's Facebook account and may be a breach of Privacy as this number id not part of the public data normally on view.
One thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/22591140?ac_cid=tw123456#22591140
This one says other Apps are also having a problem with this.
Some of the threads about refer to people posting at Facebook on discussions and Report an Issue pages.

By setting a passcode on your phone: Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
You cannot lock individual apps.

Facebook and Facebook Messenger message push notifications not working?

I have a 4th generation iPod touch running iOS 6.1.5 and an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. On my iPod touch, Facebook and Facebook Messenger give me notifications for everything. On my iPhone, the Facebook app gives me every notification except for messages. Facebook Messenger, on the other hand, doesn't give me any kind of notification aside from the in-app notifications. I've been missing important messages on my iPhone because of this. I've set all notifications settings on my iPhone to "on." I turned on all the notifications settings in the notification center, the apps themselves, and even the Facebook integrated settings under Settings > Facebook. I also tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling, to hard booting, to logging in and out of the applications, and I even turned off Facebook platform on the computer. I was wondering if this has something to do with being online on both my iPod touch and my iPhone, but my mom has an iPad 3 (I think?) and an iPhone 5s and she never has notification problems. I've already tried Googling my problem up, but none of the solutions worked. I really hope you guys can help me. Thanks a ton in advance!

I've already tried reinstalling and restarting both devices. I now get comment notifications on my ipad but no chat and still nothing on my phone. I don't understand what happened. It was working 2 hours ago.

I got this message on facebook and want to know if it is another hoax: "We have thousands of unsealed iPad Mini's that can't be sold so we're giving them away for free! Want one? Just Share

I got this message on Facebook and wondered if it is another hoax

Standard rule of the internet - if it is clearly too good to be true, it most certainly isn't true.

Hi juderocks14,
Please first take a check with the other Players and see if they could play the MP4 file normally. If it can't be played, which means it might be corrupted. You may ask at the Bandicam side, or save the files again.
If issue insists, take a try with the Troubleshooter (For Windows 7, 8 and 8.1):
Open the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter
Fix Windows Media Player video, and other media or library issues
Or you may try to turn Windows Features on or off to reset Windows Media Player:
Turn Windows features on or off (Before turn it on again, please remember to reboot first)
More reference:
What happens if I turn off Windows Media Player?
Best regards

Please help - Messages app, Facebook and Whatsapp not opening

Hi all,
I have an iPhone 4S that is nearly 2 years old. Software is up-to-date.
I've been having problem with it for a while, the home button needs to be pressed several times before it works (sometimes), the button at the top works intermittently, very difficult to take a screenshot, and it is impossible to hold it down in order to switch it off.
These problems weren't the end of the world til this afternoon, where I get a text and can't open Messages. Normally what I do is try again in an hour and all is well. I have noticed the same with Facebook and Whatsapp, but others are working fine. I've done the force-quit of applications thing in the multitask view, but this hasn't helped. Can't turn it off and on again unless I wait for the battery to drain.
Anyone with the same problem, or suggestions?
Is it time for me to get a new phone, iPhone or otherwise?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the buttons are not functioning properly, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

iPad 2 gets activation errors in FaceTime and messages,plus Facebook app opens and then closes

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

I started getting messages 3 days ago that my Safari cannot establish a secure connection to Facebook, and it will not open that website. It worked fine for years before this occurred 3 days ago, what can I do to fix it?

I started getting messages 3 days ago that my Safari cannot establish a secure connection to Facebook, and it will not open that website. It worked fine for years before this occurred 3 days ago, what can I do to fix it? OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Can someone please help me?

You may have to open Mail, go to the upper left corner of the screen and click on the word Mail, open Preferences, click on Accounts, and make sure your Gmail account is still fully set up properly with all proper account and incoming and outgoing Mail Servers properly completed. When you added iCloud capability it may have upset the account settings for Gmail.
Hope this helps
