Lost facebook app

I recently deleted my facebook app because it was not working and tried to download it again. I have done this many times without any problems but this time when I went to re-install the app...it said that it was already installed and IT'S NOT!!! Unfortunately, we recently just got a new computer and I have yet to sync my iphone to it so syncing it is not an option.

Is the FaceBook app in your iTunes library?
If not, it needs to be. All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer and would be with Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Since you don't have this selected, with your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. After confirming all apps on your iPhone were transferred to your iTunes library, download the FaceBook app with iTunes on your computer. Select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences and make sure all apps currently installed on your iPhone are selected below. Select Apply followed by a sync.
If no change with the FaceBook app on your iPhone after doing so, deselect the FaceBook app under the Apps tab followed by selecting Apply and a Sync. This will remove the FaceBook app entirely from your iPhone. Follow this by reselecting the FaceBook app under the Apps tab followed by a sync to re-install the app on your iPhone.
With this selected, after downloading an app with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the next time you sync with iTunes after doing so.

You will need to update your iPad. Since you have iOS 4.3.3 you will need to connect your iPad to a computer with iTunes and update through iTunes.

Removed Facebook App - Lost all of my previously synced emails

Hi All,
Not sure if im posting in the right section but if not please let me know.
Got a Curve 8900 in the uk on orange and was having a few problems with the calendar (when you added a new appointment it showed as a facebook calendar appointment no matter which book you used), so i removed the facebook app to see if that was causing the problem.
Once i had restarted all of my previously synced emails have gone including all of my saved messages, is ther any way i can get this information back? Any ideas why this has happened?
Thanks
Robb

ok, so do this:
On your BlackBerry device, go to:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site:
From your handheld device:   http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
North American Carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
WorldWide Carriers - Find your carrier on the list
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot. This reboot, even if you have already done this, is often needed to install the service books.

ALL of your music should be on your computer in itunes. Is it not?
How did it get on your ipod in the first place if not from your comptuer?
Everything on your ipod should be on your computer and you should be syncing regularly.

My facebook app no longer works for my iphone after i sync it to my laptop!

Why does my facebook app no longer works for my iphone after i sync it to my mac book pro?
I added this app for facebook and then i synced it up with my mac book pro, but afterwards it lost the app, and I can't download it anymore... why is that?
And how do I manage to put it back on my iphone?

Hello hersheygirle,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
Re-download the Facebook APP on your computer and then sync it to the iPhone.
Make sure your computer is logged into the same iTunes ID that shows up on your iPhone when you try to download an APP on the iPhone.

Facebook app draining battery ?

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if the Facebook app can drain a lot of battery? I have it and everytime someone interacts with me on Facebook it shows up on the iPhone which is great in itself but I'm afraid it's draining a lot of battery.
I was at work tonight for around 5 hours. When I arrived I was about 50-40% battery. When I finished work I was at 20% but for those 5 hours the iPhone was in sleep mode in my locker. So I was wondering, maybe it's the Facebook app with it's push capabilities or another app.
Or worst, maybe my battery is corrupted or defective (don't know it's the right word, sorry english isn't my mother tongue).
Is there a way to diagnose my battery myself to see if it's working correctly? I know the fist time I switched on the phone it wasn't charged all the way up and I didn't charge it all up before switching it on for the first time. Mainly because the phone store where I got the phone and the 1 year plan switched it on to import my contacts for me and ask me to choose a PIN code. I heard it's best to first charge the battery all the way up before switching it on for the first time (or any other device). But that mainly for ni-mh batteries, this one is Li-ion if I'm correct, shouldn't be the same.
Thanks again for your help !

Yes, more than most Apps due to it using Push for messages and notifications.
Yeah I guess, but is Push some that the phone does or rather something the phone get's communication with? I mean, is Push something that the phone will activate on a regular basis (to check facebook for new stuff for exemple every 5 mins) ? Or is the phone waiting to just receive a "push message" from Facebook when it comes ? (which would be more easy on the battery I guess)
My understanding of Push is that the phone is continually pinging the server for data requests and as soon as one arrives at the server, the Serrver Pushes it your way as it knows you are still there. If you don't need Push, then its worth turning it off for that App.

If you put the phone in a metal locker, the 3G receiver will go crazy trying to get a good signal and will also rapidly suck the battery dry. If you are going to put it in a metal locker, put it in airplane mode. After all, you don't need messages or emails while its in there.
I didn't think of that ! I'll check it out next time I go to work with the iPhone! It's probably that. Also I erased my google calendar account from the iPhone today (which used push too) and it seems I was loosing less battery, 5 hours of work but left the phone at home and only lost 3 percent of battery life. Either the locker, or the push or both. I had uninstalled the Facebook app and I still got the "clicks" so i'm guessing it wasn't that.
Just remember to power it of completely or put it in Airplane mode.

Even Apple retailers (who sell only Apple stuff) or only Apple stores ?
I am not 100% sure but Apple stores for certain - you should arrange a Genius Bar appointment.

N97 - Reinstall Facebook App without wiping phone ...

There are more and more bad reviews everyday coming from N97 users regarding the OVI facebook app (besides the fact that it is really outdated). I have read about users wiping there phone to reinstall it, but there is an easier way.
When I tried to go into OVI to download the facebook app the download button was a dark gray. It's isn't OVI....this time...... It is actually because it's still on your phone. I don't know if this will help everyone, but I got my widget back.
Someone please post this in the review section of the Facebook app on the OVI store. I can't because I wasted my one and only review on bad mouthing OVI. I know a lot of people are looking for this fix and had the same problem as I did.
1. Go to Settings
2. Application Manager
3. Installed Apps
4. Scroll down to 'Facebook Installer' and hit 'Options' and then 'Uninstall'
5. Once it's cleared from the phone you can go back to the OVI store and finally be able download and install once again.
Facebook app hasn't changed at all, but it's back for anyone that has complained about it not being there. There are still no wall posts for this app and no chat which a lot of people are looking for. Hopefully a software update for the app is being worked on and being released soon.

I am a huge Nokia fan - and have even defended the N97 when it comes to iPhone users bashing it... but you would not believe on how disappointed I am Nokia have done this.
I too did a soft reset (after serious issues like contacts folder locking up and not allowing me to even access it and various other bugs) and now have lost Facebook, Accuweather etc. The phone is being majorly sold on the facebook application - being dubbed 'The Facebook Phone' - and the truth is it obviously cannot be anymore further than that...
After all... Facebook isn't even available in the Ovi Store for it... so how can it be a Facebook Phone?
Wish someone from Nokia would explain PROPERLY what the hell is going on!?
I cannot believe I'm about to say this (after owning several N-Series phones... 73, 93, 95, 95-2)... but maybe I should of got an iPhone?

Facebook app not staying full screen after IOS 7.1 upgrade

Just started this morning... did the 7.1 upgrade last night. Not sure if I accessed FB last night after the upgrade.
What I'm seeing this morning is pretty weird... best way to describe it is: the FB app is not fully crashing... if I start it, it throws the FB screen for a milli-second, then it disappears. BUT... it still shows up as a running app, with recent posts shown in the preview window of the running apps section (FB window above FB icon). If I try to maximize it, it goes full screen for a milli-second then disappears but is still shown as a running app.
I checked the FB account info in the iPad's Settings and it was missing my FB acct info. I added the info back in but the problem continues.
I haven't checked every app on my iPad but the Chrome, Gmail, and ebay apps are all working fine. Just tried Maps, iTunes Store, and Garageband and they all start up as expected.

I've had no problems with the Facebook App. Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

My Facebook App is not opening

I have Internet. I can open FaceBook up on Safari. Everything is updated. My iPod Touch just came in yesterday and it worked perfectly and I turn it on this morning and the FaceBook app won't open when I press it. The screen just shakes. This is the same with FaceBook Messenger. I am still logged in on it and it has a notification on it. Help me out please.

Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Complete restore after facebook app fiasco & found more storage?!?

Ok, so after yesterday's facebook app fiasco, I did a hard restore to my iPhone 4 through iTunes library & suddenly have 5GB more storage. I have put everything back on that was on it in the first place. So, how did this happen? How can I have that much more free space when the same music, apps etc are back on there?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Also, you should be able to redownload via iTunes on the computer. See that method included here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Cannot reinstall Facebook app - Help?!

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help! I have the BB Curve, and upgraded to new Facebook app including chat about 4 weeks ago - so far it had been great. Today I tried to upload a photo and it froze completely during upload. I rebooted, BB was fine, but F/B app still frozen - rebooted once more, still no change. In desperation I went into App World and uninstalled the App. I have now gone back to my unistalled apps, located Facebook, but there is no 'Reinstall' icon to set it back up I have checked the reviews of the app an half a dozen other users have also had the same issue. Does anyone know how I can reinstall? I have checked my other uninstalled apps and they all have a button marked 'reinstall' except F/B. Is it lost forever?
Thanks
Lou
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I can't guarantee results with this method, but first go and make sure your facebook app is indeed gone. Next, from your phone's browser type in www.blackberry.com/facebook and try downloading it from there.
Let us know if that helps you.
- If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

IPhone 4 intermittent crashes - Facebook app issue?

My iPhone 4 rarely crashed before Sunday. The only thing that changed was I installed the latest Facebook app (with the Places feature). Since then, the phone will intermittently crash at random. I've noticed it crashes while in Messages, Mail, and iPod. When it crashes, it returns to the homescreen and I'm able to re-launch apps as normal.
I notice this mostly in iPod, which I use a lot. While playing mid-song, iPod will crash. When I re-launch iPod, it will have returned to the beginning of the song that just crashed. At times it will crash in Messages while I'm composing a text. When I relaunch Messages, it returns me to the message stream I was in, but everything I have typed just before it crashed is lost.
Strangely, it hasn't crashed on me while in the Facebook app. Not sure if the app has anything to do with this?
After the crashing started, I upgraded to the latest version of iOS4, which I hadn't done yet. Didn't help. Have also tried numerous restarts, both hard and "soft."
Any ideas? Makes using the phone a painful process. Before the iPhone 4, I had an original iPhone that never had crashing problems like this.

The apps on my iPhone 4 have been crashing, as well. Tried all the restarts and reboots and nothing seems to help. The Best Buy app is what seems to crash on me a lot as well as games my son plays. Safari also crashes when scrolling down through long pages. Never had a problem before with iphone software. What was originally a minor annoyance is turning into an aggravating experience.
