I can not connect to face book from my home screen on my iPad. Yet I can connect through safari. I'm thinking it is something in my settings

I am going to go thru my settings right now & see what I have filled in for anythng facebook related that might help you to use to compare to....will post back here shortly. (I am also ipad / safari / facebook often .... might help.)

I didn't ask what your ipad is specifically, but crossover is generally pretty obvious. Might IS working perfectly so I ran thru & will list my 'non-personal' settings next. If this doesn't get you linked, my suggestion is to next check your "Facebook end" (the settings) – via your computer, to make sure you aren't blocking yourself from connecting. Try this match-for-match comparison perhaps first? (Likely won't matter but this is iPad mini 2) Under the settings key (note too, that I am iCloud connected in case it has helped without my knowing). As you can tell – I am not a 'tech wiz' but got it going, so here goes: – First mention of Facebook (FB from here forward) is under NOTIFICATIONS: 'Allow' is ON; as is 'Sound'; 'Badge App'; and 'Show on Lock Screen'. – Here, my next mention in setting of FB is under PRIVACY: Facebook is ref'd under Twitter but no selection is necessary... it is 'appearing'. Further down, the next appearance of FB , under Twitter: – I select FB – which say 'Installed' at the top, followed by settings...there appears subhead: ALLOW FB TO ACCESS Two items: – Notifications (badges / sounds / banners)...diverts back to the above mentioned screens showing all 4 items ON – Background App Refresh – ON In going through to the very end, there is no other mention of selection to make that are FB related. Rather than stop and write again later - I have gone to FB through my mac to my FB general settings / security (the last item in the column on the right) to see what might be related to my connecting successfully. I must say that I am strongly leaning towards iCloud being the reason for my success – it's only been a week ago that I set my own up. ARE YOU itunes synced & iCloud signed up? It's a free-bee and I notice a log in to FB called "Apple OS integration" that isn't "me" therefore I am confident that it's the iCloud "connection" between the two - FB and computer, plus iPad mini. I think I will stop with this and if you post back with how this went – I'll be happy to look further if you still aren't successful. Let me know & good luck again!
