IPad Facebook scam

Warning: There is a scam going around Facebook that promises a beta iPad to potential testers. When you sign up, you have to take a short quiz that asks for your mobile phone number. As a result, you will be enrolled in a bogus phone service for $9.99 or $19.99 per month, which you will then have to cancel and maybe ask for a refund from your phone service. I called Apple in Cupertino and was told that they are unaware of any such giveaway program. They are having their legal department talk to Facebook. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Do not fall for this one!

Talk to facebook - its their website after all.

  • IPad Facebook images too large

    All the photos posted on my iPad Facebook newsfeed are magnified and cut off at the edges. I haven't been able to identify a solution.

    It's with the facebook app. Been that way since their update a few weeks ago.
    Right now I've been abandoning their app and just accessing the site via safari. You can get either the regular facebook app or the mobile site m.facebook.com
    there may also be third party facebooks apps out there that may work better.

  • IPhoto 1.0 new iPad Facebook sharing with facebookErrDomain error 10000 failure?

    iPhoto 1.0 new iPad Facebook sharing with facebookErrDomain error 10000 failure?
    When using iPhoto to upload/share to Facebook, if I select certain albums to upload to, I get a popup that says "The operation could not be completed (facebookErrDomain error 10000)"
    I've also noticed that iPhoto doesn't load all of my Facebook albums to choose where to upload. Besides Wall Photos, iPhoto Uploads, and create new album .. it only shows 24 previously existing albums. Which is about 1/3rd of all of my albums.

    The iPhoto for iOS forum is here

  • IPad Facebook issues with Safari

    Upgraded our iPad2 to 5.0.1 and when we now access Facebook via Safari, the video in Facebook now loads over the text.
    According to a Genius Bar guy at our local Apple store, this is a Facebook issue. I don't want to use the new Facebook app as it's still quite buggy.
    Any suggestions for accessing Facebook with Safari?
    Thanks.

    This is all on Facebook's code.  There is nothing you can do from the iPad other than to contact Facebook support and tell them about it.
    I use the Facebook app frequently and I don't find that it's that buggy.  It's not perfect by any means, but it's OK.  But I generally do prefer the web version.

  • IPad Facebook?

    Has anyone been able to get the Facebook SDK from http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/ specifically the mobile version working? I have had no luck whatsoever. Using Flash CS5.5 and AIR 3.1. I got the Desktop verison working with modification to allow the new AIR JSON object to work, but that's been it. I really need to allow an app I'm making to publish a comment to the users wall.
    If anyone has an example I'd really appreciate it. And I'd also really appreciate it if Adobe would update the dang SDK to work with AIR3+.

    Errr I tried to download the facebook application on my ipad and it just would not do anything, would not even download??
    A lot of people have got ipad to be able to use facebook and even ebay.
    I have anyway and I can not even upload images, I think they should improve this. they are certain things you can not do. I can not dowload the facebook application, so I can not chat or see wo is online, I can not download pictures. I even tried to go to my settings on facebook to block a friend to view my wall and I could not even do that!
    Can we please have full acces on facebook?
    Also whe you review your listing on ebay you can not add or edit your text, I would like full access too please.
    Thank you

  • IPad Facebook app problems

    I'm having trouble with my Facebook account not updating.  It ends up giving me a network error.  I've tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it.  It didn't work.  All the updates have been done to my app.  What can I do?

    Try this  - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • Changing Privacy settings to allow foto upload to iPad Facebook app

    I tried to upload a foto fromi pad to Facebook app. I was asked if Facebook could access my FOTOS and I declined. Now I can't upload FOTOS. How do I change my privacy settings to allow foto upload?

    If you can't remember the restrictions code then was it on the iPad when you last backed up ? If not then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

  • Facebook Scam Apple pages...who do I contact at Apple to tell them.

    https://www.facebook.com/ApplePr0ductGiveaways
    This is one of many Apple Scam pages saying they will give away
    a lot of Apple things.
    Its all a scam but I can't find who to tell.
    They are getting tens of thousands of 'Likers' as people think
    they are getting something....

    I believe the quandary here is that it was not an email. These are ads within the Facebook pages for which Facebook is responsible and, since they are in the business to make money (by selling advertising space and selling your information), they do not care about the legality of an ad as long as it was paid for.
    I just had to report two fraudulent transactions on one of my credit cards - and they were both for "advertising" processed and charged by Facebook. That is hilarious as I do not have (and refuse to have) an account there. I tried to find a way to contact them (and let Mr. Zuckerberg know what I think of that, LOL) and the only one I found is their physical address.
    @ RUTH2802:
    So, the best thing might be for you to put something on your page warning others about the scam. There is also some way to report something; however, I could not get there because I do not have an account and couldn't sign in. So see if you can find how to report fraud.

  • IPad Facebook videos won't play.

    Log into facebook and go through newsfeed for entries. No Problem until I try to click on a video. It appears to go to the video site but it never loads. I get the circle of dots rotating but the video never loads or plays. I cannot figure out what I incorrectly set. The ipad is on line using wifi. Help?

    Are you using the Facebook app?

  • How do I change facebook username in Ipad

    How do I change my Facebook username in Ipad.
    My Ipad has my old Facebook account email address. I can't reactivate this email anymore, it was old company email.
    IPad Facebook app has still this old email account in memory and I can't delete the account.
    I've tried to restore my Ipad and used iCloud backup, but still it has the same old email address as Facebook account.
    anyhelp?

    Also i've followed instructions: from:http://howtoapple.com/facebook-login-issues-ios-7/
    One more solution:
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy
    Afterwards, try logging into Facebook again.
    If all else fails, the foolproof method of fixing the issue is by restoring the device and setting it up as a new device.
