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!

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.

Why do I get the following when message on Contacts which does not let me delete; Cannot connect to the account-enter password for -..-When i do this nothing happens, same message reappears?!

When trying to update/remove contacts i get the following message;
Contacts cannot connect to the account..........Enter password for ..........
This I do but the same thing repeats itself!
Also(?) I am unable to share photos, as 'server did not recognise user/password combination'?
All ideas appreciated!
Thanks

E7-00: Cannot connect to Facebook with Social Apps...

My setup:
Nokia E7-00 PR1.1
SW version: 014.002
Social Apps 1.3.215
Dear all,
with my Nokia E7-00 I cannot connect via the newest version of Social Apps with Facebook. Every time I try to enter my details for my facebook account, the program returns "login or password incorrect" (correct wording in English unknow to me as I use the German version).
But, my password is correct. I am sure about this because every time I try to login with Social Apps, I receive an email from Facebook saying "someone logged into Facebook via Ovi by Nokia from an unknown device".
Further interesting issue: If I enter the details for another Facebook account owned by my wife, I can connect without any problem.
That means to me that my specific account (a pretty old one (5 years)) seems to be not the right one for Nokia's Social App.
With my Android phone I can use the built-in Facebook app without any problem.
Any ideas as to what might cause this? Re- and re-re-installing the Social App does not help.
Thanks for any advice!

Thanks to the user Wiseorfool, his solution is:
"12-Jul-2011 03:29 AM
I found the solution for this problem.
The application platform should be enabled in the facebook account as Ovi by Nokia is one of them.
I had it disabled for reducing spams.
In your Facebook account, Go to
Account
Privacy Settings
Edit your Settings under "Apps and Websites" at lower left corner
Click Turn on all platform apps.
Then your facebook will login under Social Networking Client provided by Nokia without "Invalid username or password. Tip. Password is case sensitive."
I created a new facebook account and it logged in the very first time and i knew it must have been the account security or application platform. The latter was the one. <
Happy Networking!!!"
Enjoy it

Unable to connect to Facebook account through iPhoto '11

Alright, so I'm new to Facebook, finally caved in. I'm trying to add a photo to my wall using the share feature in iPhoto. Entered my account info, but it keeps giving me the following message and asking the account info again:
"Facebook ne reconnaît pas les données de connexion que vous avez saisies pour le compte [email protected]" which roughly translates to "Facebook doesn't recognize the connection data you entered for the account ..."
So I did some online searching, found that I need to have the platform apps active and iPhoto uploader, checked and it's all fine. Even disabled all apps and activated back again, recreated the info in iPhoto, still the same message.
Is there any other setting I'm missing?
Don't hesitate if you need more info.

Facebook just rolled out new account settings to use https whenever possible. Enabling this setting breaks the iPhoto 9.1.1 Facebook uploader. You can get iPhoto to work again by disabling this setting in Facebook account settings (account security), but you should keep this setting enabled whenever possible.
If this is your issue, please submit feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html so they can fix the issue.

Can you 'log out' of a facebook account on iphoto in order to upload photos to more than one facebook account?

My friend uploaded her photos to facebook on my mac/iPhoto and now I cant upload mine.When I press 'share', 'facebook' etc on iphoto it immediately tries to upload them onto her account even though she is no longer logged into her facebook on my computer.

After the following steps, should I be able to post a link to my Facebook timeline?
1) Log out in Facebook app.
2) In Settings, disable Facebook account access to Facebook app. (Now the Facebook app shows the login form. Don't login.)
3) In Mobile Safari, clear cookies and data.
4) In Mobile Safari, post a page to your Facebook timeline.
I was expecting it fail or bring up a login form, but it successfully posted the link to the timeline. The access token is still remembered somewhere. Help is appreciated.
[UPDATE: after typing up the above, googled for Facebook active sessions. When I deleted all the sessions and tried sharing in the browser, it prompted me to enter the Facebook password in Settings, as expected. Thought I'd post it here as it's related to the topic.]

I cannot connect any skype accounts on my Eurostar...

Hello. I have tried for a number of days now to connect 'preloaded' skype on my Eurostar Smart TV. I have used my existing account details and also tried with my Microsoft account, but no joy. I have also tried to create a new skype account on my tv.
All these things respond with the message 'cannot connect to skype at this time, please check your mobile settings and try again'.
I am connected to my wireless router and have a good internet connection.
Can anyone help? This TV was bought for my kids playroom so they can skype their grandparents as we live a long way from home.
Thank you

EA3 and EA2 - bug - cannot connect to global accounts in 10g databases

It is not possible to connect using a global account (LDAP-authenticated) for a 10.1 or 10.2 database. It works fine with 9.2, and all such connections work fine in SQL Dev 1.2.
The EA2 thread for this bug is at EA2 - Cannot connect LDAP-authenticated users in 10.1 and 10.2, OK in 9.2 It includes all of the other relevant details.

I should probably add that I am able to make successful connections via sqlplus and other tools (SQL Navigator) with the users that fail to connect in SQL Developer.
