Facebook app links not working over wifi

This might be hard to explain let alone comprehend so bear with me.
As of the last 24 hours or so I am having trouble using Facebook linked apps while on Wifi. To be specifc I was using the app called "Lost Friends?". I have used this app for months, no issues. All of a sudden last night it would not connect to my Facebook account. I went on to try another app called "Lost A Friend", same issue, no connection to Facebook via wifi. After I left my house (back to 3G) I tried it and it worked perfectly, but again, once home it was doing the same thing. While inside my house I turned off Wifi and it worked again. It sounds to me like there is something within wifi, Facebook or both. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.
To skip a step or two, I went as far as factory resetting my phone, starting as a new iphone and still have the same issue.

I'm using a Mac have a Airport express base station. Everything was fine and I could pull up Facebook on my Mac and Androids over my WiFi. Apple pushed a firmware upgrade and the IOS upgrade. Now, voila, Facebook not working on my Mac or on other devices if logged on to my WiFi. If I disconnect WiFi and am on 4G it works fine. The same issues as others have described.
After trying all the fixes listed and a few not listed like clearing my cookies, history, tmp files and cache, I tried a release/renew. Nope. So I logged out of Facebook, uninstalled the apps, shut down computer, phone and tablet. I finally reset my routers by unplugging my comcast router and my basestation, let them all resync, thinking this might have been an issue with a router table (?). At any rate this would reset all the IPs. (I reinstalled the apps) Worked the first time, about 2 hours later it quit working. Tried the same trick but it didn't work again.
I've read a number of blogs and other posts on 'fix it' type sites researching the issue. It sounds like many of the streaming media sources that require lots of resources and will cost more to operate by using the data plans are no longer working on WiFi.
Interesting.

Verizon messages app doesn't work over wifi....

Hello, all,
Until recently, I used the verizon messages app to send/receive texts over wifi on my gs3 when I had no cellular/data reception. Now it will only send/rec when there's cell reception.
But...the app does still work over wifi onmy galaxy tab 2 7.0.
Why could this be? Did a recent app update break txt over wifi for the gs3?
Thanks!
Abe

This does NOT work on the Galaxy S3.
Airplane mode ON, Wifi ON, No network mode is available in Airplane mode. So...only wifi is available. When I try to send a text with only wifi available I get "Network not available. The message will be sent when the network is available"
BUT...On my Galaxy Tab 2 (non-verizon), This DOES work. On the tab 2 with only wifi available, I CAN send text messages using Verizon Messages.
So....again...
On Galaxy Tab 2 with only WiFi available...texting with Verizon messages DOES work.
On Galaxy S3 with only WiFi available...texting with Verizon messages DOES NOT work.
Please fix Verizon Messages to work over WiFi using Galaxy S3.
Thanks,
Abe

IMessage is not working over wifi. I need HELP D:

My iMessage is not working over wifi. But it's only at my house. Actually it worked a while ago but then it stopped working.
The browser, email, app store, youtube and any other apps are working just fine over the wifi. It's only my iMessage. It won't send any message. It say message not delivered. Does anybody what is going on and what can I do to fix it? Thanks, before. (:

I recently moved my library on my time capsule
You mean you moved your music files to the external. The library is more than the music files.
Just copy the \Music\iTunes\ folder from internal to the Time Capsule.
Add the Time Capsule to your Login items in System prefs -> Accounts.
Hold Option and launch iTunes and select *Choose library*.
Select the iTunes library file int ehiTunes folder on the Time Capsule.
It is hte samae library you have previously. All artwork playlists, ratings, songs, movies, etc. will be there.
Genius is already there so nothing needs to be done.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Messages+ not working over WiFi

One of the main reasons I switched back to Verizon and off of the iPhone is because my dad told me that if I use the Verizon Messages app (also known as Messages+) I can text him over WiFi. This was really attractive to me because I live in an area where I generally have NO service. (occasionally one bar now that I switched to Verizon. Thank the lord). This is not the case. My messages do not send over WiFi. If I don't have one bar of service, nothing gets in or out. Why? Why? Why? The information about Messages+ says it operates using WiFi. Is there any extra step I need to do? I am so frustrated that I can no longer text my husband throughout the day. I'm forced to use Facebook Messenger which is incredibly annoying. At least when I had my iPhone (which I hated) I could use iMessages to text iPhone users.

IHateMyTreo I certainly want to check into this for you. What kind of device are you using? Are you getting an error message when you try to send a text out? Message has a lot of nice options. You are also able to read and reply to texts over wifi on your computer or tablet too! Just log into your My Verizon and click on Messages. You will be able to read and reply to your texts from there as well as on your phone. I have Message myself and texting over wifi should not be a problem though Picture and MMS messages may need to be able to send over our network instead.

Nokia 5800 - mfe does not work over wifi

Folks,
Am trying to use MFE to sync google calendar.
I 've created a profile and it works perfectly when I synch over WAP.
But the costs pinch me, so I tried synch'in over wi-fi, but this fails all the time with the error "unable to connect to server. Verify your connection settings and try again"
I have changed the connection profile to Internet. It just doesnt want to work over wifi.
please help!
cheers!

mfe - 2.09.208

I already have the default destination to internet.But it still doesnt give me the pop-up which asks me to choose the internet connection.
But under Settings>>Connectivity>>Destinations>>Internet, I have 2 access points.
Pri#1 - Vodafone Mobile connect
Pri#2 - my wi-fi access point.
Does this make any diff? Should I try flipping the priorities?
cheers!

App Store not loading over wifi on iOS 6

Since I've updated to iOS 6, I haven't been able to load pretty much anything in the App Store while connected to wifi. It all works perfectly fine over 3G... But I have 130 updates waiting and I'm not using my 3G data for that. I've also been having trouble loading notifications, photos and messages in the Facebook app but the news feed works fine (this is also over wifi only). Safari seems to be working fine most of the time. Any ideas?

I have a very similar problemon my iPhome 4S: Updating apps switched over to use 3G (after I left my house for example) or starts in 3G even that wifi is available. This consumed my free 3G budget completely and costs already more than 15€ on extra charges. This never happened in iOS 5. I think I need to either avoid updating my apps or switch off mobile data completely. The best alternative would be, to disable app updates over 3G. But this is not possible.

Why does Time Machine not work over wifi but only via ethernet cable ?

Hi everyone,
It's been some time I have this problem now.
The first time I backed up my mac within Time Capsule with time machine, I chose to use the ethernet cable because the gigabit connection is much faster than the wifi for the first back up, but now, any time I want to update this back up, I need to connect the cable, cause "Time Machine can not connect to the Drive I picked" over wifi.
This is so annoying. Does anyone have a similar issue ?
Any solution ?
When I got this "error" I can use Utility Airport and get full access to the drive, even in finder. The only thing that doesn't work is TimeMachine connecting to the drive, even if it is detected by TimeMachine itself.
Thanks.
Riccardo

Typical Yosemite.
I suggest a full reconfigure of the TC.
Follow this list..
No files are deleted on the TC doing this although you might have to repoint your laptop to the backup.
Note.. even if TM does connect it will say it is going to do a new backup.. it is only when it starts that it discovers the backup exists and increments it.
Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 for basestation and and TCwifi wireless name.
If the issue is wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. ie plan on a first and second round of changes to fix this.. hopefully.. I will point out other steps that can be round2.
2. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.
Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only. Do the same for ethernet if you use it.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the computer itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.
Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.

E-mail client not working over wifi?

The built-in e-mail application always requires packet data connection and simply ignores the fact that phone is connected to the Internet via wifi! It asks to connect via existing packet data destination and if I don't allow it it simply does nothing, no attempt to use the running connection. Can this be fixed? Nokia 5800XM, Nokia e-mail ver. 10.02(26)

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. I actually expected an e-mail about reply, but not got it, so I did not notice it.
It is set precisely like you say, and still no progress via wifi. It pretends to do something but never download new messages, nor puts any error. Over 3G no problem. I wonder if somebody got it working via wifi. Mailbox is type IMAP4, SSL - but this is common nowadays, even gmail uses it.
Furthermore the phone always establishes a new 3G connection without asking when a new mailbox is created, despite the fact that a wifi connection has a higher priority and the 3G connection is set to 'Ask always' ! It seems that packet data connection is somehow hardwired there. Notably the Java Gmail app from Google does the same.
Best regards

Apple Apps like Weather, the App Store and even the Facebook App don't work on WIFI

Since a few days all my apple apps (Itunes, AppStore, Weather) don't work via Wifi. The strange thing is that all other apps work without problems (just Facebook and Youtube don't view profile pictures). Via 3G all apps work without any problems. I just set my router to default settings but the problem keeps existing. Would be great if someone could help me!

I read about the following:
Workarounds:
Make sure that Bluetooth is turned off.
Turn the Stamina Mode off. It should be off by default, but you can check inSettings > Power management > STAMINA mode.
Possible solutions:
Restart the router and the phone.
Double check that you have the right details and password.
Ensure that you have the latest firmware. For your Xperia Z this should come as an OTA update, but for your router you’ll need to check the manufacturer’s website or with your ISP.
Try changing the channel on your router and make sure that DHCP is on.
Turn MAC filter off on your router and/or add your phone’s MAC address.
Try Sony’s PC Companion. Install on your PC and go to Support Zone > Start > Phone Software Update > Start. If you already have the latest version chooseRepair phone and follow the instructions.

Bbm not working over wifi out of country. Same with email.

I am in the us and have turned off my data and mobile network and enabled wifi only. I was able to use bbm and email no problem over wifi but all of a sudden even though I'm fully connected to wifi with good signal, my bbm is not working at all and I'm. Not receiving emails. Please help!

The BlackBerry servers in Europe have been experiencing some problems over the last couple of days. That's why you've been unable to connect to any of the BlackBerry services.
Glad I could clear things up for you.

Facebook App is not working

Okay don't want to sound like a jerk but Facebook really needs to fix it's app. There have been two updates in the last two days and now I can get the **** thing to work! I don't know much about how apps are made or how they function. That being said near as I can tell it has something to do with the art work which I have no control over that I know of. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times trying to make this essential (at least from my point of view) app work! Before any one asks yes I am still on a dinosaur (iPod Touch 4th Generation) my IOS is 6.1.3 which thanks to apple is as high as I'll ever been able to get because they don't like to produce new IOS software for dinosaurs even though this device is less than a year old to me!
Is anyone else experiencing this problem with the Facebook APP? If so could anyone please offer me a solution?
Mahalo!

Even I have this. Probably, issue in Facebook side.(Unable to fetch Artwork) And yes. they released two updates in short interval. Hope they have messed something.
Waiting for them to patch it.
Even from iTunes (PC) it fails to update.

IMessage, YouTube and App Store Not Working over 3G iPhone 4S

i live in Colombia, and i used to buy iphones from other countries, but then got the iphone 4S from my original provider here in colombia, and two weeks later, i got this problem, cannot connect to itunes store, cannot connect to youtube, and the most annoying, i always got an error when i try to send message from imessage, i went to my mobile provider and they say that everything is fine with my phone line, the weird thing is that this only happens over 3G, all works under wifi, also i think i lost the push notifications, whatsapp only works when i open the app, and i used tu run ipusher for check my push notifications on my old iphone, and i doesnt show the push notification on 4S, ive tried all the things above with no results, i have restored in dfu, set up as a new iphone and if appears as they iphone is blocking any connection to itunes store, the rest works just fine, also when i use my phone as a personal hotspot and i try to access to itunes store or youtube from my computer it says cant connect as i said before like the phone were blocking the appstore

Hi, did you solve this problem?
Im having the same problem with my iPhone 4s in Tigo, Colombia.

Push Notification for Facebook App is Not Working Help?

i went to general settings and everything was set to "ON" but it ONLY gives me notifications sometimes..i had a glitch for my Facebook app and was having problems so I decided to uinstall and reinstall and after reinstalling, the push notification seems to ONLY work sometimes and not often anymore. What could be causing this? a malware/infection for iPhone or what could be causing this?

Hi,
Try first to check your facebook account settings--> notification tab.
Try to remove any app like IM or MSN that use facebook messages from the facebook account setting page.
you can also download facebook messanger app. if you create a US account i.e. put a fake US address.
try it:)
