Facebook on imac

I do not know if this is appropriate for posting just let me know . I am a facebook user on my imac . Today i tried to edit my facebook profile . The section that has a list of family I click on edit and nothing happens no dropdown to add a name . I tried and tried no luck . I thought it was a setting problem on facebook . Tried everything I could think of with no luck .
I knew it wasn't facebook as my daughter had no problem adding a family member to her timeline .
This evening I tried to add a family member to my profile using my iphone facebook app . To my surprise the name was added no problem so my settings on facebook are correct .
Anyone have any ideas why the family section of my timeline will not edit using my imac . all other sections are ok such as where I worked ,education or any thing else I need to edit
Thanks for help or suggestions

Hmmm,
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

How to use facebook on imac

hello,
i have just registerd at facebook is there a app o use on imac?

You can access to Facebook on the iMac opening http://www.facebook.com, but you can also use the Facebook settings available in Mountain Lion. To do it, open System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars, and follow the steps to add a Facebook account. After that, you will receive notifications in the Notification Center, and you will also be able to send photos without having to open the Facebook site

I play Scrabble through Facebook on my Imac. Can't seem to access game on new Ipad. Do I need to buy an apple apps and if so, why? gpaint.

Why can i do this for free on my pc but have to buy an app to do it on my mac?
Because you meet the minimum software requirements on your PC and not on your Mac
Is there any way to use it wothout having to pay?
No - not if you do not meet the minimum requirements
see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ for set up instructions and minimum requirements for different features

Apple Store Giveaway - I saw a post on Facebook re iMacs given away. SCAM?

Thinking that it might be a scam, I called the contact number in Canada for the Apple Store (Consumer and Education Individuals)
(800) MY-APPLE (800-692-7753)
The person I spoke with said they had NO INFORMATION regarding an Apple promotion that gives away their products at this time. She took a few minutes to look at the website that was reference in the post and said that it wasn't one of theirs. She then indicated that she was going to advise her colleagues of our discussion.
I deleted the item that was on my Facebook time line and tried to scan for other similar posts that appeared.
It's been reported as "Spam or Scam".
Any other comments on this type of thing?

To celebrate our amazing year at the Apple Store we're going to give away 100 Apple iPad's randomly to those who Share this picture and Like this page.
Since they are using the possessive form of iPad ("iPad's") while not specifying what the 100 Apple iPad possesses that is being given away, they don't have to give away a thing, unless it's an iPad's randomly and it's anyone's guess what that is.
I have never heard of a "100 Apple iPad" either and I'm rather familiar with Apple's product line.
You can have my randomly. I don't need it.

MySpace and My Hardrive

I have a quick question - whenever I use MySpace and Facebook, my iMac sounds like a hairdryer!! Any idea why?

Hmmm weird, i never encountered this in mac. But i encountered this in my dell laptop, it seems the sound came from the fan and it's trying to cool down my hard drive.

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old sys parts

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?

The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

I have an iMac G5 (20 inch screen) i sight (no intel chip).Leopard OS 10.5.8. Recently I went on Facebook and tried to open a movie site someone had sent me on Facebook andwhen I tried to open the video on Facebook, I was told I had to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player. i tried to do this, but turns out that Facebook is requiring folks to have an intel chip in order to view movies...this is outrageous! Just think of all the folks in the world who have great running pre intel chip Apple computers. I called the Adobe Help line and was told that I really needed to buy a new computer....no thanks. How do I find a way to get a new version of Adobe for Facebook and youtube. I wish Apple could develop a way to have intel chips installed in the older computers. If you have any suggestions on this please let me know.
Thanks, Sarah

Either get a screen cleaning cloth, or carefully us a slightly damp lint-free cloth and dry off with a dry link-=free cloth.
As to Flash Videos: I am in a similar same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube and FaceBook for example) are fine.
For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

How do i get my imac to remember my login details on my email and Facebook without remembering my passwords?? iAt the moment i have to type each time i visit my sites??

Open Applications and the the Utility folder and then Keychain Access app. In there you will find all the usernames and password that have been saved. For some reason it is not saving those passwords and or not using the ones that have been saved.
This is fairly common with Mac OS X as it happens for no apparent reason just all of a sudden.

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer. When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button. I do not have a Facebook account. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this. Are temporary files the same as the cache? It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache. How do I do that?

Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

I have an iMac and play games on facebook. When I need to request parts from "my neighbors" the list does not appear in the box. When I use my daughters pc it works fine. Recently I had a pop up for an upgrade but don't remember what it was for. How can I

I have an iMAC and when I am on Facebook my list of friends does not show up in the box for me to request gifts. I know this is a problem with my Mac because my daughter's PC shows it. I recently did the automatic upgrade thing but didn't pay attention what it was. When I did that it changed my desktop picture back to factory. Could this have something to do with it and more importantly what do I do about it?

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions?

I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions? I can click on the "upload photos/video" field and it takes me to Finder to select the photo - but on selecting the photo, the Finder screen disappears as normal but from then on nothing happens.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Now empty the Safari cache.
Back to the menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit and relaunch Safari then try Facebook.
If that doesn't help, it may be a Safari extension preventing you from uploading content to Facebook.
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.

HT4889 migrated my mac book to new imac.now have same mail, facebook etc on both

migration from macbook to new imac resulted in same email, facebook page, etc of macbook on both computers. How can I resolve this ?

That's how it is supposed to work. What were you expecting?

Facebook suddenly not displaying options such as log-out in Safari. 2013 21.5 iMac/ mavericks / all other browsers are fine

Does anyone know of a problem with FaceBook and Safari. For a while it wouldn't run FaceBook at all and now it does but no longer displays the usual login/out, options, page change, etc. on the top blue bar. I have no problem in Opera or the other browsers but prefer to use Safari. Have done some searching but to no avail. I have a feeling it may repair itself but it is a frustration at the present time

This is what I find truly baffling and frustrating, that other people with the same problem are having the issue resolved without hesitation. And I've been going through this for 3 months now.
I did receive a call last Wednesday, 10 Nov. from customer relations, they have finally agreed to replace the screen .. but .. she told me it isn't being replaced under warranty, it was her personal decision, an act of good will, because they value me as a customer ... which is good news, but I find their reasoning rather patronising and a kind of 'round about' way of addressing the problem without admitting to fault on their side.
She also told me that they would only replace the screen this one time only and they couldn't guarantee that the replacement part wouldn't have a similar problem, and if it does then that's too bad ... and this is after they argued that the problem isn't due to a faulty part. The contradiction has been noted and filed!
So .. I was advised to contact the retailer on 12 Nov to arrange taking the iMac in for repair, I waited until the afternoon of that day, and when I called them I was told they hadn't heard anything from Apple, and that their technician was on holidays for another week. I know they have 2 or maybe even 3 technicians there. I didn't say anything at the time as I wanted to keep things 'friendly' in order to get the job done, but I'm noting everything in writing, and if no further progress is made by next Friday (when the tech is due to return) then more calls will be made and letters will be sent.
If I do need to contact them again I will take your advice iMacMan2010 and ask to speak to someone else, preferably higher up the chain.
I'm glad that a resolution is now looking close, but wont be satisfied until I see the repaired computer sitting on my desk. And even then I'll have serious doubts about making any future Apple purchases.

I was told I needed to run a virus scan before being allowed to reinstate my facebook account. What is the best way for me to download a free, but 100% safe virus scan for my iMac?

Is there a virus scan download from Apple.com that I should use to clear my iMac before I download the latest update to Mevericks and get a clear slate to reactivate my facebook account? Thank you.

You may have been the victim of a potential scam or responded to a pop-up trying to sell anti-virus software.
How on earth would Facebook know you have a virus - not least because there are no viruses that can affect OS X.
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac will NOT be infected by a virus, it may have other security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful: The User Tip seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.
