Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try to reset all Internet Explorer settings:

Next reset LAN settings:
Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
Next clear all Temporary Internet Files:
Open Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> General. In the section “Browsing history” press the “Settings” button and in the next window the “View files” button. Delete all files from the Temporary Internet Files folder.

TS1702 When I update to IOS6 on my 4S Facebook does not work properly, the news feed never updates it only says no new storeys and shows a picture of an antenna. When I reset my phone and go back to IOS5 Facebook works fine. What's up with IOS6 ????

When I update my iPhone 4S to iOS six Facebook does not work properly the newsfeed doesn't load properly and I can never see what's going on all I see is a picture of an antenna and a little thing underneath it says no new stories when I reset my phone back to iOS 5 then it works just fine and I don't have any issues so there must be something wrong with iOS six that isn't letting Facebook load properly

No I did not use any unauthorized methods for anything, I simply reset my phone back to factory.

Facebook birthdays not working after ios7 update

Facebook birthdays not working after ios7 update?

Did you always have the same problem or is it new? I always used to be able to get Facebook to work on wifi with no issues for months. I downloaded the new software update for Revolution, and all of a sudden it seems like they blocked the Facebook app somehow unless you're on 4G. It really sux because I can't get into my Zynga games either that are tied to FB! Wish someone at Verizon could be aware of this and fix the problem.
Also, interestingly, when I try to log into the Facebook site with the browser I am directed to an error page. The browser works fine for every other site though. Really seems like there was some kind of block instated that will no longer let you use Facebook on a wifi connection.

I just bought an iPad mini and installed Facebook. NOT working. Only messages, but sporadically. Anyone know what's the deal?

Weird... Turned the iPad off and back on, while waiting on the line to be connected to an apple support specialist, now it works.

Facebook notification not working

i have the iphone 4s and facebook is not working on notification center and it does not have sound at all. why is that?

There are bunch of people with the same problem on that forum. Advise to wait until new IOS comes out on 19.
When there are so many people with same problem, usually points to server problems, possibly updating or getting ready for IOS 6

Facebook is not working on any of my browsers!

Hi everyone,
I am tired of my facebook not working. It has been almost a 5 months since I had this problem where it keeps saying:
This webpage is not available
Google Chrome cannot reach the website. This is typically caused by network issues, but can also be the result of a misconfigured firewall or proxy server.
Now I get the same result on all my browsers. I have tried many many solutions from removing cache, proxies, hosts.. Nothing works. Even changing my DNS server to 8.8.8.8. Please someone help me lol and yes facebook works on all the computers in my house except mine
Thank you!

You, or someone using your computer, hacked the system to block certain servers, perhaps unknowingly. The file modified is /etc/hosts. Some commercial "anti-virus" software, such as "Avast," may modify this file. If you've installed any such software, I suggest that you remove it according to the developer's instructions before continuing.
The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
open -a TextEdit /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1                              localhost
255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
::1                                        localhost
fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the document. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. Quit Terminal. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish.

Typeahead function in search field inside Facebook does not work in Firefox 13.0

Until 3 or 4 days ago, cool typeahead function inside search field inside Facebook always worked in Firefox. Now since 4 days ago, it does not work. But the typeahead function works inside search field inside Facebook on Internet Explorer BUT I prefer to use Firefox and do NOT want to switch to IE!!!
Is there anything I can do to regain that function?
Aharon

Shalom DJST,
Thank you for reply.
The behavior did not start with Firefox 13. I actually upgraded to Firefox 13 in hope it would solve the problem that happened in previous older versions. It failed to solve the problem.
It had been working for 3 years on Firefox until last or 2 weeks ago.
Regarding search, I mean by "type-ahead" which is that FB's search field offers a drop down list of possible search results as I type. For example, if I type S, it will show list of all people or groups with first letter S. If I type sk, it will show list of anything such as people or groups that starts with Sk, and so on. This is most valuable time saving technique to look for my pals to say hi or groups that I do not belong to but want to read their news or info.
I think it is Facebook's programming problem but if I ask them, they will point to Firefox's fault by saying that it works for my Internet Explorer but not for Firefox and I do not want to get involved into tug war between Facebook and Mozilla.
I am just bummed that the valuable time saving search method no longer exists on Firefox.
Regards,
Aharon

Login not working after configuration update

I have a Pavilion g6-2235us running Windows 8 Metro. Yesterday afternoon my screen said "System Configuration/Updates in progress ... do not power off" This morning when I turned on my laptop ... it went to the metro login screen name and when I entered my password ...it said Welcome then went back to the login screen. Tried this a few times with the same results.
Also, my Admin user name was gone and when I booted to "Recovery" there were no restore points.
Any ideas as to what happened? If I do a backup to my external HD then reset to defaults .... can I recover my backup files once I'm logged backin?
Thank for your help!
Joe

There are some ways you can recover your password and there are some 3’rd party S/W’s that may work. One way to do it is to follow the link below even though the steps are for Windows 7 it should work in 8 too.
http://www.howtogeek.com/96630/how-to-reset-your-forgotten-windows-password-the-easy-way/
And you can also try to do it using a 3’rd party S/W at your own risk it may or may not work but it’s worth a try if your data is really important. This video has all the info abt it.

Auto-Login Not Working!

So, I've figured out that the auto-login doesn't work if I have a password with numbers or symbols. It works just fine if my password has only letters. What gives?

Nevermind. It just doesn't work. It's worked a couple times when I've tried a couple passwords without numbers or symbols, but now it's not working at all. When I restart, it makes me type in a user name and my password. Very frustrating.

User login not working properly iMac 27 3.4 lion

My user account will not work. Every time I login with my name it shows me logged in a "Postgresql" and I have no access to my files. Sometimes I'll leave it overnight and when I come back to it its correct and everything's in place. Whats going on?

I'd recommend first restarting in Safe Mode, this will reset some caches. It's possible one became corrupt somehow. If that doesn't work then use Changing or resetting an account password to reset it.

Facebook app not working on bb10 after update

Hello.
I update the facebook app to the newest update on my bb10 and not it's not working at all. The app is not showing in the icons with the F, just like a spot with unfinished icon. Can't access it, can't delete it or reinstall. What's the point having a not working app? If i would know i would keep the old version
Please, help someone.
Thank you.

Hey zuzikfuzik,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
What happens when you try to delete the application? Also what version of BlackBerry 10 are you using? Go to Settings>About to find this information. Do you get any errors when you try to re-install it from BlackBerry World?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

[solved] Start X at Login not working for me

I'm stripping down my system and decided to get rid of my login manager (slim) and just make the system boot straight into the GUI on boot-up. I followed directions found at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … sh_profile , but it's not working on this system. I just get dumped at a command prompt login when I reboot the system and, after having logged in, no X gets started. The system just sits there awaiting input at the prompt. If I enter startx, the GUI starts. But it's not starting at login as I'd like. Actually, it'd be even better if the system automatically logged me in and started X--like we used to do using inittab, once, etc. But that method's obviated now because of systemd, no? My WM is jwm, by the way. Tips on resolving this issue will be appreciated.

You can still set up automatic login ("like we used to do using inittab, once, etc"): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Au … al_console
As for your original question, I assume you are using bash, and you have added the correct information to your ~/.bash_profile? ("but it's not working on this system" is a little vague). This works for me.
