Separating My account from Facebook

How can I separate Spotify from my Facebook. I tried deleting the app from Facebook but my account says that my profile info has to be updated on my Facebook acct. Can I separate the two or do I have to delete and start over?

Assuming you have a Spotify account linked to a Facebook account, you will want to:
Windows - Go to Edit > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook.
Mac - Go to Spotify > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook
If you're still having issues I sugget looking over this guide. I hope this helps!

[Tutorial] How to Disconnect Spotify from Facebook

How to Disconnect Spotify from Facebook
This is not an officially supported Spotify workaround.
It seems to be a common request on the community to want to disconnect accounts from Facebook.
If you wish to do this, then follow the instructions below closely.
Please note: It is highly recommended that you log in and cancel your subscription IF and ONLY IF you are planning to deactivate your Facebook and you have Spotify account created with Facebook , as once you have done that, you may not be able to log in to cancel. You may also want to log into your online profile and set all the email notifications to "Never" to stop Spotify sending you emails on that account.
This serves as a "Do It Yourself" guide since it is the fastest way to disconnect from Facebook. If you have a premium/unlimited subscription or would rather have someone at Spotify assist you in doing this, don't hesitate to get in touch with customer services instead using the online contact form.
1. Check your account type.
The method of how to disconnect from Facebook depends on how you originally created your account.
If you have a dedicated Spotify username and password, then go to step 2a.
If you created your Spotify account using Facebook, and therefore log in using your Facebook email address and password, go to step 2b.
If you log in using Facebook normally, but are unsure if you created your Spotify account using Facebook or a Spotify username, log into your online profile using your Facebook details. If you see a username consisting of ten digits you're likely using a Spotify account created through Facebook. and need to go to step 2b.
2a. Disconnect from Facebook.
Since you have a dedicated Spotify account, disconnecting from Facebook is easy.
In the desktop client:
Windows - Go to Edit > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook.
Mac - Go to Spotify > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook.
Once you have done that, your Spotify account is no longer linked to Facebook, you need not continue any of the steps below.
You may find due to data caching in the client, that you still see Facebook information (such as the People list) hanging around, a quick clean reinstallation of the application should fix that for you.
If you can't see the option to connect/disconnect, then you are logged into a Spotify account created with Facebook not a dedicated Spotify one.
2b. Create a new account.
Disconnecting from Facebook is not possible if you have a Spotify account created with Facebook.
You can obviously select not to share your activity on Facebook from the Preferences menu, however, if you wish to completely disconnect then read on.
If you wish to stop using your Spotify account created through Facebook, then you will need to create a new dedicated Spotify account from the signup page which should now be available in all launch countries. Once you have done that, make sure to note down your new Spotify username and password and keep them in a safe place. Continue to step 3.
The easiest and quickest way to move your playlists from one account to another is explained in steps 3 and 4. Since there is no way to directly transfer playlists from one account to another, this process subscribes your new dedicated Spotify account to the playlists on your old Spotify account created via Facebook.
3. Backup Playlists
The easiest and quickest way to backup your playlists is to sign into your Spotify account created with Facebook and simply drag and drop them from the left sidebar of the desktop client onto your desktop, or into a folder. This will store links to those playlists locally.
4. Restore Playlists
Log into your new dedicated Spotify account, created in step 2b.
Now, drag and drop your playlists from your desktop (or folder) into the Spotify client, and they should reappear. These playlists won't be editable, since they are still "owned" by your old account. However, once you have got them into the client, if you want to make them editable you just need to make a new Playlist (File > New Playlist) and then copy and paste all the tracks from the uneditable one into the new one. You can also drag a subscribed playlist to the "New Playlist" button which will instantly copy the playlist and make it owned by you (Thanks Stupify for this awesome tip!)
The fastest way to highlight all the tracks is to click on the playlist, press Ctrl/Cmd+a and then press Ctrl/Cmd+c to copy them. Then navigate to your new playlist and press Ctrl/Cmd+v to paste. Continue to step 5 (if applicable).
5. If you have an unlimited/premium subscription…
There is no easy way for you to transfer an unlimited/premium subscription from one account to another.
The simplest and fastest way to get back up and running is to simply unsubscribe from the subscription page on your old Spotify account created using Facebook and then resubscribe on your new account. I would recommend you cancel and then use up all your remaining premium days on your old account before you subscribe again, you have already paid for them!
6 (Optional). Request the removal of your Spotify account created using Facebook.
If you wish to request your Spotify account created through Facebook be disabled then please read and follow the instructions in this topic.
I would strongly suggest that if you do not do this step, that you at least log into your online profile on your old Spotify account created with Facebook and set all email notifications to "Never" to stop Spotify sending you any emails.
Once you have completed the required steps above, you should have a complete Spotify account which is not in any way connected to Facebook.
Happy Listening!
Peter
If you have any issues with your account, or in following these steps, then the Spotify team will be happy to help, just drop them an email using the online contact form.
I do not work for or in anyway professionally connected to Spotify.

Hi!
I'm trying to disconnect my spotifyfrom my facebook so i can shut my facebook down. I used your tutorial however could not find the social network tab, The only option is to uncheck "Share on Facebook what i listen to" which is unchecked BUT sharing on Facebook anyways. I'm also on a premium account. How the hell do i do it? I just want to get rid of facebook. Let me goooooooo.....
Hey :)
Did you read step 1?
If you created your account using Facebook, you won't have the disconnect from Facebook option, since your account is tied to Facebook. In that case you will need a new account as described in the tutorial.

How can I get contacts to update from Facebook if I have them in my email account as well?

Hello,
I'm running iOS 8 on my iPhone 6. I have contacts coming down from several email accounts as well as Facebook.
For contacts that exist both from an email account and Facebook, the Facebook data doesn't sync down. So I don't get, for example, people's pictures.
For people that I have only in Facebook, everything is working fine.
It's not an issue of duplication either, because I'm not seeing multiple entries that I can link. My wife, for example, only shows up from my email account's contact, and I know she uses the same email address and name I have stored for her on Facebook, but I can't see her Facebook name, messenger ID, or photo from Facebook.
When I go into Facebook settings and force a contacts sync, it says 0 contacts were updated.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

No iOS 7 for 4G iPod
As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod. Not enough RAM
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one. Better off selling it yourself.

How do I delete a facebook account from my notifications that I don't want to be integrated to on my computer anymore?

The notification center is telling me I must delete the account first before I add another account, but I cannot find, for the life of me, how to delete that account from being integrated on my computer. My friend got on facebook when I first had Mountain Lion and she accidentally selected to integrate it when she logged on to her facebook- before that mine HAD been integrated before. I've logged back onto MY facebook, but it hasn't asked me if I would like to integrate that instead. Help! I'm getting notifications from her page!

System Preferences - Mail, Contacts and Calendars - delete the Facebook account you see there, and/or add your own account.

Email address cannot be unlinked from Facebook account

Hi, I would like to decouple my Facebook account from Spotify. I happened to create my account against my Facebook account and, after deactivating my Facebook account, found that I could no longer log into Spotify. I reactivated my Facebook account and was then able to log in. I would like to decouple my email address, but it shows in your system as 'in use' and I cannot unlink it. This was frustrating enough that I switched to Rdio several months ago. I like Spotify, though, and want to switch back. I won't though, until I can use my regular email address and not be dependent on Facebook. What I would like is to have my account unregistered so I can create a new account using the same email address I've been using for years, and then sign up for the premium membership. Is there any way to disassociate my Facebook account from my Spotify account? It makes absolutely no sense to me that, because I initially registered with my Facebook account, I now need to forever maintain a Facebook account to also maintain a Spotify membership and that there is no way to separate those two things.

Try calling Tech Support, they should be able to check to see if theres a lock and try to help you reset it, I had to call and get my account unflagged, for something that I didn't even do.

I am looking to seperate my icloud account from my wife's in one apple ID

I am looking to seperate my icloud account from my wife's in one apple ID

One of the phones can keep the current account; on the one that will be moving go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the other person's data (such as deleting your wife's contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.

I just hooked up facebook chat to imessage, and while Jabber says I am logged in, nothing from facebook is coming up. I use mountain lion 10.8.5 on a macbook pro.

I just added my Facebook chat account to iMessage. When I am logged in to iMessage, it looks like I am also logged in with Jabber, but nothing from Facebook is coming up (I use Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on a 2011 macbook pro)
I have already:
unchecked "use kerberos fv5 for authentification" and "use SSL"
checked "automatically find server and port"
restarted both the application itself, and then my whole computer.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
Although I don't have a Facebook I d have 3 other Jabber accounts logged in.
One is from Google and the others are from other Jabber servers.
My Google settings look like this,
Most Jabber server need SSL and the App will automatically make this port 5223.
However Google will let you change theirs to use port 443.
One of the other 2 is using "Automatically find Port and Server" and is using port 5222 and No SSL.
Whilst most will use SSL and port 5223 it is not true for every Jabber server.
I can never remember if the Facebook chat ID is @facebook.chat.com or @chat.facebook.com (I suspect the second)
You are using the Chat ID and not your regular Facebook ID ?
I can't follow the iChat link on this page as I can't log in
https://en-gb.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php
I would check the set up page but if that does not work I would work through all the settings possibles with the SSL, Ports, warn on insecure passwords etc.

Thumbs up from facebook friend disconnects faceboo...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report bugs, but apparently when I'm talking to my friend and he sends a "thumbs up" from his facebook messenger account to me, Skype disconnects from facebook. Can anyone reproduce/fix this?

Friend Stream is a built in application from HTC on the Droid Incredible. It combines Facebook, Twitter, and FlickR all in one news feed. You log into your accounts and when launch the application it will load all those apps into one streamline.
Course I only use it for Facebook; I really dislike the Facebook Application that comes with Droid incredible/Market
I use a separate twitter client to gain access to my twitter feeds.
I have tried going into m.facebook.com on my internet application on my cell phone; yes she does show for now; was just hoping for easier access using the friend stream. Cause i can make a comment right there without having to log in and such.
Oh well
LOL as my previous post said, I tried using 3 other 3rd party apps that uses Facebook integration but really didnt have luck on them 'at all'

How can I sync new friends from Facebook?

Hi guys,
I have Nokia N9 with the latest firmware version.
I configured my Facebook account and set it to show my friend list in my Contacts.
I can see all my friends from Facebook and they have merged with my contacts list.
But when I add new friends to my Facebook, they won't sync and won't show up on my Contact list.
How can I sync new friends from my Facebook? Is there any way to refresh the list?
Thanks :-)

Only the contents of the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, so if you want both sets of photos on the iPad you need to include them in the sync - by not including the current iPad photos in the new sync iTunes 'assumes' that you no longer want them on the iPad.

How to get notifications from facebook app like wh...

I am using nokia x2-00. It supports notifications. Now i am getting an alert whenever i get a msg in line messenger or whatsapp even i am offline. How to get the same from facebook mobile app..?

Unlink Aperture from Facebook and still keep the albums on Facebook?

Is it possible to unlink Aperture from Facebook and still keep the albums untouched on Facebook?
I really liked the Facebook exporter feature in Aperture until I realized that whenever you deleted a project or photo from the program the changes are reflected in any Facebook album it was associated with. Now I'm concerned about what would happen if something goes amiss with my Aperture Library and would prefer to just manually upload my photos to Facebook from now on. I have seen a few fixes for the same issue in iPhoto but not much about Aperture and don't want to do the wrong this and all my photos disappear from my Facebook.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I do not publish to Facebook, so I cannot try this, but the "Aperture 3 User Manual" say this: See
Publishing Images to Flickr and Facebook
The recommended procedure is to disable your Facebook account in Aperture to unlink it from Facebook, not to delete the albums inside Aperture:
Deleting Flickr and Facebook Albums
You can delete Flickr and Facebook albums in the Aperture library at any time. Keep in mind that deleting a Flickr or Facebook album in Aperture deletes the corresponding Flickr set or Facebook album along with its contents online.
Warning: Deleting Flickr and Facebook albums permanently deletes the corresponding Flickr sets and Facebook albums online. If you want to temporarily remove a Flickr or Facebook account in Aperture, but keep the albums and images as they are in your Flickr or Facebook account online, you can always disable your Flickr or Facebook account in Aperture. For more information about disabling and enabling accounts in Aperture, see Disabling and Enabling MobileMe, Flickr, and Facebook Accounts.
Regards
Léonie
