IPad 4 iOS 6.0.1 cannot connect to Facebook

Hi all,
I have a strange problem that I'm trying to solve.
I have an iPad 2 (iOS 5.1.1), iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1) and now an iPad 4 (iOS 6.0.1)
Using the WiFi network at work the new iPad cannot connect to Facebook properly. The two older devices, on iOS 5.1.1, connect and work without any problem. (please read on, it gets stranger!)
Some more details:-
The old iPad and the iPhone can connect to Facebook fine, using either the Facebook app, Fera or Safari or Mercury browsers.
The new iPad "sort of" connects - I can access settings, user icons in the RHS chat bar update and are correct, but it cannot update the newsfeed, no new posts at all and after 30 seconds or so, a red bar saying "Network unavailable" or similar.
Fera is the same, settings load and work, user icons work, viewing my home page seems to work, newsfeed - nothing updates.
Using Safari it seems to load OK, but the "this page is still loading" progress indicator carries on, and on, and on, and on. Using Mercury browser and the same thing happens, plus after a short while Mercury actually tells me that it couldn't load the page. No newsfeed updates at all.
If I disable WiFi and enable 3G data, it works no problem.
If I'm using my WiFi connection at home, it works no problem.
I am the network administrator at work and the WiFi is an unfiltered, unblocked, unfirewalled connection. (it has an external static IP which goes through NAT and then to two WiFi access points and one DMZ PC) The ISP is a business account at Easynet. I'm not aware of any port blocking that they do, and even if it was port blocking further up the network, it should affect all my iDevices, not just one?
The fact iOS 6.0.1 has problems and iOS 5.1.1 does not suggests to me it's a problem with iOS 6.0.1, but the fact it works fine through 3G and my home WiFi connection suggests it's port blocking at the work connection.
I suspect either the new integrated Facebook in iOS 6.0.1 is connecting a different way to iOS 5.1.1 Facebook (and ditto for the browsers!) or maybe SSL over port 443 is being used and is different somehow between iOS versions?
I've checked the iOS logs (using System Status app), nothing of relevance there. I've checked the network connections and nothing out of the ordinary there (but if it tried to connect via a blocked port, it would fail and not be listed in the port list anyway)
Is there anyway I can log all (successful and unsuccessful) network connections that happen (for everything)? I do have an Apple developer account, is there anything available there I can use to track the problem down? (I've just registered, haven't gotten round to doing anything with it yet so I'm not aware of what's available in there yet)
I've tried:-
Deleting and reinstalling the Facebook app (but as the Facebook website also has problems I didn't expect this to do anything, and it didn't)
Hard reset of the iPad.
Putting the iPad into DFU recovery mode, letting iTunes completely reinstall 6.0.1 and setting it up as a new iPad. (no restore)
Nothing has made any difference.
I've had the iPhone and new iPad next to each other, 3G data disabled, WiFi connected (to the same access point), iPhone works fine, new iPad doesn't.

Mine has never worked right for more than a couple days, then it just stops. I don't even try to fix the thirty things that don't work on my junk iPad.

Firefox, all the sudden, will now load the site but will not let me go to a chat area in the website, what has happened?

I have a site that i am on all the time and have never had a problem at all using it, but the other day all the sudden i could log into the site but when i go to use the chat room feature in the site i get kicked back out to the sign in area. I have used on other comp to make sure not site and have been able use w Internet Explorer... So i am at a loss as to what has happened all the sudden. Please help me...very frustrated w this... Jared

Original problem I noticed was that regular websites I go to (such as msn) were only partially downloading. I could see the text on the site but no pictures or videos. All web surfing was extremely slow. When I would go to a site such as man I would see another address in the lower left corner for "ads1.msads.net" or "cdn.optimizely.com" that is was trying to connect to. I tried using all three of my browsers (firefox, safari, chrome) and got the same response on all browsers. After I spent some time researching the issue I decided I probably had a adware/malware problem so I decided to try adwaremedic.com. I could also not access that site along with thesafemac.com or apple.com. I was also getting the same response on my other devices (iPhone, iPad, and a mac air). I could not access any of these sites on any of my devices although I could get to almost any other site although it was very slow. At that point I decided to unplug the router. I also did a number of other things before then to try and manually get rid of any adware. Eventually I got msn back working, apple.com, and the speed was much faster. But, I still can not access adwaremedic and thesafemac.com. I could access these on my phone with 3G but not on my wifi. This is where the problem still stands. I am sure I still have some adware on my computer and need to find a way to remove it. I am no techie so the complicated manual fixes are difficult for me to do.

Contents of events folder suddenly displaying single pictures only, not a thumbnail of all photos, what has happened?

Suddenly the contents of the events folders in iphoto is displayed with single pictures only, and not thumbnails. I wasn't aware I had changed any settings, but having looked at all the settings I cannot figure out how to change the display back. Anyone know what has happened?

Does the zoom slider down left of the iPhoto Window help?

Suddenly Cannot Connect Remotely

Hi there,
I went away for a few days and decided to unplug my Time Capsule while I was gone..I realize now that this wasn't the best idea.
I used to be able to connect remotely without problems and I've had no problems whatsoever until now.
When I try to "Connect to Server" now, I get "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in afp://XX.XXX.XXX.XX could not be read or written. (Error Code -36)".
Can someone please tell me whats going on and why I suddenly cannot connect remotely?
Thank you,
Josh

I just began experiencing the same thing. I hope someone can help with an answer!

Once I downloaded the new IOS 5.0 I've lost all of my photos that were stored on my PC, and I no longer have access to them on the IPOD. Cannot figure out what has happened. Please help.

Thanks lllaass, but I am not computer literate and do not understand exactly what it is I am supposed to do. All of my photos were stored on Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I now access the gallery the only thing that is there are the folders with the title of the folders. The pictures that were in those folders are now gone. I can no longer access them on my IPOD either. My photo library on my IPOD is now empty.
Thanks again for your help.

Something went wrong. Now for a useful answer...
Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

Im trying to set up email on my iphone4 and it is saying "cannot connect using SSL" what does this mean?? what am i doing wrong because i cannot set up email??

how do i set up email on my iphone??? it says "cannot connect using ssl" whats this mean, i cant recieve or send emails coz of this

Try just choosing yes when it says that. And yes if you get it a second time. Lots of mail providers don't use SSL.

When I tap store on my iBooks it says cannot connect to iTunes, what is wrong?

Hi Kath50OCD,
Thanks for the question. When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provide the best information:
First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
- Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
- Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
- Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
- Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
- Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
- If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionsoriOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Thanks,

In Photos I cannot connect my Facebook account

hi...i have updated to the latest version of Yosemite, which included a change from iPhoto to Photos. it seems to work okay except for when i try to share pictures from Photos to Facebook.
it directs me to add my Facebook account on Internet Accounts in System Preferences. I have attempted to add my Facebook account at least a dozen times and failed each time.
i enter my email and password for Facebook and i get a box asking me to wait for a code to be texted to me to enter instead of my FB password. the code arrives, i enter it in the password box, and i get the same message in red: 'unable to verify account name or password'.
then i receive messages on Facebook saying that an 'unrecognized' browser is attempting to log in to my account (even though i've 'approved' it as 'recognized' by me multiple times now).
so i cannot connect with Facebook via my MacBook Pro (only through my iPhone).
any suggestions?
thanks.

PPS. i did look into my log in history on Facebook, and each time i have attempted to connect from System Preferences, it registers in Facebook as a DIFFERENT system each time (even though i'm attempting to connect from the same computer each time). any possible reasons why this is so? thanks!
