Facebook App stuck when updating.

My iPad is trying to update Facebook and is completely stuck. It's also preventing other apps from updating- such as the National Trust and The Times. Please can someone tell me what I can do. I can't progress the update or even delete it! Any URGENT help would be MOST appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for replies. I tried to open Facebook app via App Store- purchased but the little blue circle just keeps going round and round! I'm not confident about the second procedure but will have a go! Thanks!

  • ITunes apps freeze when updating

    Within the last week or so there is an issue with various apps on iTunes where I try to download the updates on my home computer, but just as it gets to "processing file" it freezes. Then I cannot even quit the iTunes program - I have to Force Quit to get out. Any suggestions?

    Go to folder "downloads" in iTunes music folder which is the temporary downloads folder for Tunes itself.
    If there is any item within (as a leftover from a former download), delete it.
    Delay gone.

    1. Quit iTunes (if not possible, then force-quit)
    2. Delete every folder under here...
         ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads (Note: The "~" character, tilde, refers to your Home folder.)
    3. Start iTunes and start your downloads again.

    The correct file path for OSX Mavericks is:
    ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads/
    In my particular case it happens when updating Apps, and stick in "processing files" steps. Once stuck it needs to be Force QUit to clear it. As to the folder location, that depends on where you havelocated your iTunes data. Your preferences set to open up the iTunes folder. In my case that's, ~/Music/iTunes_xxxxxx/iTunes Media/Downloads
    The "xxxxxx"'s are a date code of the itunes data files installation.
    Regardless where it is located, this deleting of the items in the folder may solve it. Be aware that you may be asked to validate your Apple ID again and verify any age restriceted content. You can monitor the progress of the downloads by click in the little box on the top right of the itunes menu. However in my case it did NOT fix the problem. Updates downloads continue to hang. You can see where downloads create the .tmp files/folders but seem to stick on many items while completing others. No rhyme or reason to it that I can see.
    Also Pause All no longer works!

  • Facebook app stuck at loading

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Facebook app from OVI store (the S60) version for my N97.  After punching in the Email and Password, it is perpetually stuck at the "loading" screen.  Can't quit the application.  Nothing seems to happen.  Tried restarting the phone etc.  Still not working.
    Anyone has similar experience? 
    Visit http://www.WilfridWong.com - where all good things are meant to be shared!

    I have a Dave Alpha B device.
    So the Facebook account does show up under the Blackberry Hub and the Facebook items propagate through the devices calendar.
    The problem is that I can't seem to get the Facebook App to launch on the device as it is asking me to "add an account".
    When I click on the "add an account" button it takes me to my accounts loaded on the device. I then select the Facebook account and I re enter my password and it verifies. I hit the back button and then I am at the Facebook "add an account" screen again.
    thx

  • My facebook app has stopped updating and send push notifications while not open. How can I fix this?

    My iphone facebook app just recently stopped sending push notifications when I receive messages. It doesn't even show the little red circle on the icon.
    If I open the app all updates will be loaded and when I close out the icon will have the little red circle indicating the amount of unread messages I have. It will not update while the app is closed though.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

    Check your Notification Center settings (in the Settings app) to see if you have Facebook blocked on anything.
    If not, just delete the App, reboot your phone, then reinstall from App Store.

  • Facebook app slow to update profile photo

    hello guys!
    maybe im just being paranoid, but i updated my profile photo via safari and i noticed that when i open facebook on my phone it does not change the profile photo when its updating until i move away from the profile page and then go back to it..
    and occasionally it jumps back to the old profile photo again..
    anyone having the same issue?
    thanks in advance!

    No. Facebook app works great for me.
    But in case you are unaware, most things do cache in it and to reload something (eg: while looking at your news feed) you just shake the phone. You will see the loading/progress indicator up top reloading the screen when you do.

  • Facebook upload stuck on "updating published collections"

    I have had this problem since Lightroom 3 and I have just updated to Lightroom 4.4 on OSX 10.6.8 hoping that this problem would finally be fixed but it has not been. 
    Sometimes I can get one photo to publish and sometimes a few but most of the time the upload just gets stuck half way and will not progress and I have to restart LR and try again.  It's a roll of the dice whether or not it will work.
    I have the jf Facebook plugin but it won't upload to my wall and I can't use Mogrify for my borders with it.
    Flickr works perfectly every time.
    Would love some help and please don't blame Facebook!

    Same problem here. The solution G.Lenn posted isn't working for me. I don't have an update ready in the App Store. My Photos version is 1.0 (209.52.0). Can you tell me what's yours?
    My iPhone and iPad are syncing fine. It's Photos for Mac witch isn't updating anymore. Result: Library's out of sync.

  • Facebook App closing when trying to view albums or 'photos of me'?

    Since I updated my Facebook app to the most recent update, everytime I go to the sidebar and press photos to view photos of me or albums the app just closes.
    Any idea why or how I can fix it? I cant access any of my albums or pictures. I've tried going to my profile and selecting photos from there also but the same thing happens.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    I updated my Facebook application thru iTunes update system,once I did this and it finished the update I tried to log onto Facebook it opens then closes ..

  • My ipod touch 2nd gen gets stuck when updating ios 4.2

    I can download the update, but it gets stuck when backing up the itouch.  Any suggestions?

    It's not supposed to. You need a newer device to use applications which require iOS 4.3 or above.

  • How to delete facebook app stuck loading?

    My Facebook app has been stuck loading for 2 days. I can't delete it, I've tried to redownload, but I can't seem to get it to complete loading or delete it to redownload. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike

  • Facebook app cant post updates or images

    This is really weird & started a month or so ago after an iOS update.
    At home my iPod works fine & i have no issues.
    At my office, using the facebook app, I can not post a status update or comment on one - it just disappears.
    All other forms of messages work fine - it is only & specifically if i post a comment on facebook. (a facebook 'like' or priviate message is ok)
    I thought it must be something to do with the wi-fi - but after checking the router there are no weird settings, everything is just the default settings.
    Facebook on my office computer is fine (using same wi-fi), all other apps & internet stuff works fine on my iPod at the office too - its only this one 'status update' issue that doesnt work.
    Note: Using Safari on the iPod & m.facebook - i CAN post updates, so its just the FB app not working.
    What could this be?

    See:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Contact the developer/go to their support site.
    Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up

  • How to get full feature to facebook apps contest when in required flash player?

    Sorry, but I had tried this and it had no effect. Yahoo does not appear in the ''Manage Search Engines'' list.
    When I open Mozilla Firefox, 'Mozilla Firefox' appears in the top left hand side box. Then when I enter anything in the central search box, 'Mozilla Firefox' in this top left hand side box is replaced by 'Yahoo Search Results' and the Yahoo search takes a long time.

  • I have just added Facebook app. When trying to register it in Settings it won't accept password - says cannot connect to server. Working fine otherwise

    Having just joined Facebook, I have added the App to my iPhone and iPad mini but the iPad mini is coming up with an error message when trying to log it in Settings. Seems to be stuck in loop "cannot connect to server"

    You can't override it no matter what you do. The device has to connect to the server to complete the iOS update. You could try rebooting the iPad and see if that lets you connect to the server after it starts up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that will not work, you can try connecting to iTunes on your computer and see if the activation will complete. Sometimes when thes activation issues arise, you end up having to restore the device again, but first things first. Reboot and see what happens.
