Problem deleting Facebook account in settings

I have this curious problem that existed in my iPad 2 which migrated to my new iPad for. For some reason Facebook things that I have an identity established in settings that does not exist where that was old and no longer exists so the password and asked me for can't work I can't believe the account and it is impossible to delete Facebook from my settings in order to put in the proper a new account. The account that is there represented in settings looks like an old account that I had established that one time and deleted from Facebook on my PC but it seems to think that it's still there on my iPad. There's no working password. There is no way to delete it from settings. And now Facebook will not install at all on my new iPad. That seems very very odd to me and I do not understand why Apple and Facebook have not approached this problem with any level of priority or seriousness. They can be real jerks of these companies and I don't understand why they are so apathetic.  It is probably because there is no actual solution. I would appreciate it if someone would confirm the fact that there is no solution. Thank you very much.

Thanks guys but no.  When I want to share something simple like a photo, I click share and it says "Enter the Facebook password for "[email protected]" in Settings.
I click Settings (other option is Cancel)
It takes me to the facebook Settings module in the Settings area of the iPad
I put in my current password and it says "Error Signing In The user name or password is incorrect."
Then I click Delete Account. A window pops up to confirm the delete.  I click Delete to confirm and NOTHING HAPPENS.  The account is still there.  It does not matter if I uninstall FB or not.  I've tried it both ways.
I am a computer consultant.  I've never seen a situation where an app requires you to reinstall an opperating system.  This appears to be the case.  What I am looking for from the community is the ANSWER.  While I appreciate your feedback if you don't have a real answer please don't reply.  I do not mean any disrespect - seriously.  But this is a huge problem and I've read that other people have it - and the only answer is to return your ipad to its original out-of-box state.  If you restore a backup it puts Facebook right back in the same unuseable state.  Now, that said Facebook is totaly useable within Safari, ore Chrome but installing the Facebook App is impossible.
That's f*cked in my humble opinion.  Where's Apple and Facebook support?  Nowhere to be found.  Dead silence.

  • How can I delete facebook account in settings when I don't have password  and can't retreive it  pressing delet without entering password does nothing

    How can I delete facebook account in settings when I don't have password and can't reset it as not receiving reset email from facebook pressing delete without password does nothing.

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Can't log or delete Facebook account from settings in ios 7

    Hello yesterday my sister wanted to unblock my mom from Candy crush so she deleted my facebook acount from settings so she can log with her account and use Candy Crush with her own profile. After that i deleted her account and wanted to put my own again, here is where the error started: when i put my mail / password for facebook and hit "return" a message appear "Error signing In , could not communicate with the server", even so i cant enter another email or retype my email or anything since in settings this message appear: "There was a problem accessing your account. Please reenter the password for <my facebook user name> " with the field for password below , also the delete button doesnt work. Every time i put the password the singning in error appear . Now i cant use any app that use facebook features which is really annoying since most online apps use facebook account to log in.  
    i have tryed:
    Deleting the app, which doesnt make sense since i don't need the app to log with facebook to another apps.
    How they solved in thie thread : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24292852#24292852
    Quit the .settings app and reset the iPad.Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    Nothing has worked so far, i hope you guys fix this soon i cant use must of my apps right now :/ at least with facebook .
    PD: i can log in trough facebook app but no setting so i can't use my facebook in other apps.

    I have found a solution.
    You need to use Keychain Access on OS X. In the sidebar select iCloud. You can locate the entry by searching for the part after the @ in the email address of that entry. Right click it. Select "Delete". It will be deleted from that machine as well as any other device synced with iCloud keychain.
    I did this in Mavericks, but it should work on Yosemite as well.
    As far as I know there is yet no way to do this in iOS.
    I filed a radar as well rdar://18835323
    Hope this helps.

  • Delete Facebook account in settings not possible

    Hi,
    I made a big mistake and put on the Ipad an old version of the backup, in this backup was the old Facebook adress saved.
    The problem is that nobody rememberd on the password of this old facebook account. Now it is impossible to delete this
    account in the settings. For some games I need this account, therefore has someone an idea what I can do ?? Thanks

    I have the same issue and I don't have a place to enter a user name. So how did you change your user name? This problem is only on my iPad it did not follow my iPhone. It happened right after updating to  IOS 7.1.1 and now I can't use Facebook for anything on my iPad. I have not changed my login on Facebook. Very frustrated.

  • Cannot delete Facebook account in iOs Settings

    Hello there.
    I am using an iPad 3 and I have iOs 7.1.2 (11D257) installed.
    In Settings > Facebook I get the following problem:
    "There was a problem accessing your account. Please reenter the password for "My Facebook Name is Displayed".
    Now I have tried every password for this and I get a 'Username or Password incorrect' message. But what is strange is that Facebook works fine on the iPad app and everywhere else. I have tried changing my password and e-mail address. I even click 'Delete Account' and NOTHING HAPPENS! Nothing is working! Here is a list of everything I've tried:
    - Reset Network Settings
    - Reset Location & Privacy Settings
    - Reset Settings
    I then 'Reset All Content & Settings' and set up the iPad as new at the setup assistant. VOILA! The issue was fixed and I could log in with my Facebook credentials.
    BUT!
    I have a huge iCloud backup, with so many things I do not want to lose, and I do not want a new Apple ID. So I repeated the process, only this time instead of a new iPad install, I erased everything and Restored my iCloud Backup.
    After waiting all this time for the restore, I am shocked to see that the issue is still there. It is LOCKED into my iCloud backup. So there is nothing I can do to solve this issue.
    Is there a way I can remove everything Facebook related from my iCloud? If there is not, what am I to do? I can't be alone with this problem. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it as Apple have not been forthcoming with this at all.
    Thank you in advance!
    Kindest regards,
    - Tony

  • Deleted facebook account, can't login anymore to cancel subscription

    Hi,
    I recently deleted my facebook account and totally forgot that my spotify premium account is bound to it. Now I can't login any longer with said old account, which makes sense. How do I cancel or transfer my subscription over to the new account? I already wrote to the spotify support, but only a automated message came back. I responded to that no-reply message as suggested somewhere in this forum, but nobody contacted me yet...
    What am I supposed to do?

    If your account was created with a facebook login (your username will be a 10 digit number) then you'll need to set up a new account, initially using a different email address) then get in touch with the account team and they'll help get things moved over. If you get an automated response directing you back to the community or to the help pages, please reply to it by email and you will hear back from one of the team shortly.
    If your account was created with a spotify username and you connected it to facebook later, you just need to disconnect it from facebook - follow the steps in the first part of this FAQ.

  • Deleted Facebook account! Need help!

    I deleted my facebook account, and I want to transfer my premium account and playlists to this account? How do I do that?  Thank you!

    Since you deleted your Facebook account, you will need to get in touch with support and have them help you transfer everything over. Note that if you receive an automated email directing you to the community and/or help boards, make sure you reply directly to that email (even if it is from a no reply address) and support will get back to you as soon as possible. Hope this helps!

  • Problem deleting mail account

    I set up a mail account to view my Microsoft exchange work mail from home. I had been using webmail for my work mail. Then I decided I preferred to keep the work mail separate, so I went into Mail preferences and deleted the Microsoft work account. But whenever I start Mail, it asks to connect to the work server, even though I deleted that account. How can I fix this? Thanks.

    Connection Doctor only references my pop account. But help says that removing Exchange 2007 does not permanently delete the account; because the account's mailbox and messages remain on the server. So maybe I have to contact my provider and have him remove the account from the server - unless you know how I can do that from here. The help file reads as follows:
    "Removing an Exchange 2007 or Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) account doesn’t permanently delete the account’s mailboxes and messages because they are stored on the mail server. To retrieve the account’s mailboxes and messages from the server, set up the account again."

  • Facebook notifications from deleted Facebook account

    Hi all,
    I am having a problem on my late 2010 MBA running 10.8.2.  The other day in order to do some various posting to facebook i canged one of the accounts in System Pref's from my facebook details to hers (to clarify i removed my account and placed her account as a new item in the Mail,Contacts and Calendars pane of sys pref's).  All was fine and we got done what we needed to.  After that i removed all of her detils from System Pref's and put mine back in.  Thinking this would put everything back to normal i didnt think about it much, until the other day when i noticed that the notifications in the Notification Center on my MBA were pinging up her notifications and not mine.
    There are none of her details left on the device, if i click a notification of hers facebook wont log me in - telling me the page is lost or doesnt exist.  I have removed her email address from the facebook pList (FPARegistrationData.plist) in the user Library.  The computer has been reset since i noticed the issue.  And none of my notifications are pinging through - rather annoying!!
    The only thing i can think of is that some of her details remain in the Keychain, but looking through i cant distinguish which would be hers and which mine.
    Has anyone come across this bug and managed to fix it before? Im at a loss as to what to do next (though i do need to do a clean install at some point id rather it not be the only fix to this issue).
    Thanks all for any help,
    Joe Meredith

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Social/Social.sqlite
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with an item selected. Quit the System Preferences application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Log out, log back in, and test. You'll need to recreate your settings for Facebook and other social networks, if applicable. If there's no change, put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.

  • HT3228 iPhone 5 will not let me delete email account in settings?

    If the Mail accounts are greyed out, temporarily disable your Restrictions:

    Is this a company or managed device?

  • Delete Facebook account

    I seem to have two Skype accounts: the one I set up and one called "facebook:[Removed for privacy]3". I don't know how this account came to exist and I certainly don't want it. But I can't log into it (even using the reset-password link). How do I get rid of it?

    facebook:xxxxx is your generic Skype name created automatically when you create your Skype account using the Facebook option. This is not a separate Skype account and cannot be used as login ID.

  • Problem Deleting User Account

    I was deleting a user account (securely) and it was taking forever (about 24 hours).  I force shut down the computer and restarted it.  The account has gone from the System Preferences/Users; however, the files are still on the system as there is not enough space on the hard drive for the task to have completed.  This was an Admin account and I’m using Mavericks 10.9.3.
    How do I locate the folder and remove this other account?  Help much appreciated.  Thank you.

    - open Finder
    - on the menu bar: Go -> Go to Folder ...
    - in the new window enter: /Users
    Here you will find all home folders of all users on the system. Delete the home folder of the user in question.
