Safari redirecting to Facebook app
Hay,
I have 2 accounts in Facebook. When I receive a mail from Facebook notifying me that I have news in account1, and I click the link to see the news, I got to Safari and then I got redirected to Facebook app. When I receive a mail from Facebook notifying me that I have news in account2, and I click the link to see the news, I got to Safari, to the login Facebook page, and nothing more happens, no redirection.
I would like to interchange the behaviours between account1 and account2, but I don't know how? I have tried reinstalling Facebook app, deleting iPad Facebook account, deleting all cookies, deleting all active sessions from the Desktop... Any ideas, please?
Sorry, Hi, not Hay... ;)

Safari Redirecting and opening apps
When I visited a website on my iPad, it automatically redirected me and opened the zynga poker app in the App Store.
My iPad is NOT jail broken. I only have the problem when I visit the specific site in question; it doesn't occur on other websites, even ones I have opened at the same time.
Is this a problem with that specific web site in question, or my device?
Could I have picked up some security issues from this website?
Is there anyway to delete Mal/adware from my device?When I visited a website on my iPad, it automatically redirected me and opened the zynga poker app in the App Store.

On my iPhone 4, the Facebook app won't let me sign on with my account. I can sign on to another account just fine. The first time I sign on with the FB app it goes to the news feed page, says loading, and then flipps between loading and connection error. If I close out of that and try to sign in again it locks up on the logging in page. From Safari or google it goes to the log in page, after entering my email and password it goes right back to the log in page. I have tried resetting my phone, deleting and re-installing the app and everything else I can think of. Since I can log onto another account on my phone it can't be the app, any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Sounds like a hard reset is in order...

I get this message on my Facebook news feed when someone posts a YouTube video. Don't know why. It's worked fine for years. I am using Safari on my iPad. If I use the Facebook app it works fine. Any thoughts.
Thanks,

Since Sunday I can not access Itunes or App store with my Ipad 2. I can not use the facebook app, it will log in, but will not load up the newsfeed, I can not use it in Safari either. Also can not use apps like Draw Something. The same thing has happened to my husbands Ipad. On occasion it will allow the app store or itunes to work. Any ideas?
I have the itunes and app store working now, but my FB app and FB on Safari will not work and other websites are not working very well on Safari...any ideas?

I need some help.... I Have the iPhone 4S and downloaded the new software (6.0) and everything seems great so far except when I try to open a link in safari from a different app (ie..messages, Facebook, ect..) it glitches and won't load. The blue loading bar will just jump back and forth and the page will not load properly if at all....
It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

The people's posted videos no longer work on my ipad
Note: I am using the Facebook app, I am not using safari
Please don't tell me to use adobe flash player, it is not compatible with ipad, but it used to work nevertheless.Facebook videos are still working for me in the Facebook App (using iOS 7.0.6).
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. -
i'm facing problem to open any app in my ipod touch from this morning- after clicking the app icon, it goes nowhere- i can open facebook using the safari but not through facebook app- same for rest of the apps!
Holding down the center/select button and the menu button will reboot your ipod. See if that helps. Also, I'd recommend something else- I had nothing but trouble with my ipod classic until I spent $20 to get Mac OS Mountain Lion. It did what you said and sometimes wouldnt play, or wouldnt power on...
Try rebooting your ipod and let me know what happens and maybe in the future obtain Mountain Lion to aide your ipod in functionality.
Good luck! -
Hello. I have an Ipad 3 and I have installed the facebook app for ipad. Though I'm online, I appear offline to my friends. And, there is no chat bar when I log in via safari! Please Help!
I believe the Facebook App requires (or at least it did in the past) the screen to be rotated to Landscape to access/enable chat functions/enable online status (I believe at the bottom-right of the screen). You need to set your online status to available (or whatever their terminology is) to have other people see your online status and availability to chat.

both in safari and facebook app. Likewise, can't see any facebook contact pictures on contacts app. my sofware is up to date. my facebook app is updated. please advise any solution to this. When you view it from safari, no pictures are shown and it looks like html script texts. In facebook app, there are texts but no no images shown. thanks.
iPad, iOS 6.1.3Where did you get the device? Is it possible that it has an IT policy on the device blocking Facebook and/or Facebook options? Look in Options >Security Options >General Settings (actual menu paths vary with OS version) and see if there is any reference to IT policy.

It is very difficult to navigate on facebook via safari. The IPAD does not allow other browsers to download and use it almost prevents the facebook app and the lack of scrolling the page.
I also have problems with Facebook on my iPad 2. I don't do a lot with Facebook and generally only post on my feed page. Sometimes hitting return on the keyboard enters the comment, sometimes not. Sometimes the comment will show on my iPad but if I revisit that page I find that the comment has disappeared. So I'd say that Facebook and my iPad are not totally compatible with each other.
I looked into Friendly and was about to purchase this free ap. But before I did I went to the Friendly web page for more info. There I found a page with users comments. One after another users complained about bugs with Friendly. The developers claimed a fix was coming but the user comments complained about the lack of response and support. One of the fixes suggested by the developers was to log out of Friendly then log back in. One user complained that doing this three times in ten minutes was not very helpful. Because of this I decided to avoid Friendly.
I did find a Facebook developed ap but it was for the iPhone. I presume that iPhone aps will work on the iPad but I'll wait until Facebook releases an iPad compatible ap. If there is an ap developed by Facebook for the iPad that I missed please let me know. -

Greetings sallyfromalexandria,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that clicking on a link in the Facebook application redirects you to unwanted sites. You have done a great job isolating the issue by restoring your iPad and deleting and reinstalling the application. From here, I would suggest reading over the attached article to see if there are any steps you may have missed. If the issue still continues, it may be necessary to follow the last step in the article and contact the app developer.
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support
Cheers,

Facebook App is crashing, and crashing in Safari
Hi,
Over the last 24 hrs, my Facebook App has started crashing. Rebooting phone does not fix the problem. I tried connecting through Safari and the same thing happened. I then tried the Dolphin browser, again it crashed. I then installed Facely HD. Same thing. Phone otherwise works perfectly. Seems to be something with Facebook. FYI; I'm running iOS 4.1 on the Phone. Does anyone know what's going on, or experiencing this problem themselves?Hi,
I was having exactly the same problem with facebook app day before yesterday.. I have iphone 4 with iOS 4.1.. Searched thru forums and found several people had faced this problem.. Solution advised was uninstalling app and reinstalling it.. Uninstalled the app and when tried reinstalling, was asked for minimum iOS version 4.3.. On top of this, my laptop got fried by a power surge so cannot even restore the app.. Screwed!
