Ipad 1 Facebook/Youtube Problem

Options
Anyone had problems with Facebook playing Youtube videos pasted on their wall without any prompting ie. by just opening the Facebook App? Facebook then closes and Youtube stays open. I have this problem currently ... fine on any other kit laptop etc

Is it really that sensitive? It has happened without me even touching the screen/scrolling on Facebook wall . . .

  • no idea, but Youtube uses Flash and Apple don't like Flash, so it could be a Flash issue.
  • Could be, although iPod Touch is fine for exactly the same scenario ie. my Fb account?

    it might be just a bug, you can reinstall the facebook app and see if it fixes it.

    (hold the app down until it giggles then tap the 'x' and then re download it from the apple app store)

    Some pop videos don't play (via google search) or appear on my Ipod touch Youtube app but are on the Youtube web proper.
  • Hi there this started happening to me since yesterday and it's driving me mad.... Been using my iPad and Facebook for about 2 months and has been fine until yesterday. I've tried reinstalling it a few times and it's made no difference. Any more advice would be great as FB almost impossible to use now
  • I'm finding it a nuisance too, so I've just switched from using the Facebook app to the mypad app which is free and currently much more stable, it's free and just a temporary fix until Facebook sort out this big bug.
  • My ipad has also been taken over by Youtube everytime I go on facebook. I did delete and reinstall facebook, but it didn't work. I'm not having any problems with my ipod touch. Any other suggestions?

    Ah so it's a Facebug from a recent botched upgrade then?
